So! I got the new wheel!
It’s pretty much a blank slate right now. I’m so used to looking at the bling and chainmail and Christmas lights on the Babe that, even though the Louet is nicer to spin on, I kind of missed the atmosphere. So I’m trying to decide how I [...]

Yeah, it’s a crappy picture, but I was too excited. Spinning geeks, read on! Food geeks, skip down to the part of the post that has food pictures.
So, I finally got a break from the skeining of misery and despair this afternoon, and decided to play with my bright shiny new hackle. [...]

I’m drawing out my lunch a little bit to give me more of a break before I go back to skeining, which is the absolute most boring part of my job. Skeining. Woo. Can you feel the thrill?
So, two things. Apparently, according to the Pimp Name Generator, my pimp name is Sugar Lips Trickz. Check [...]

Hola! Had a good weekend. A lot of fun stuff happened. Violet came by and hung out (sorry that you got lost on your way home, that sucks) on Saturday. She brought her drum carder, and I managed to not destroy it! Yay! I can see how much fun [...]

Fiber Friday on Craftster is always really fun – of course, the day I decide to link to it is a really slow day. I think a lot of people are saving up their roving to spin during Le Tour de Fleece. I didn’t have much, just these three random skeins I plied [...]

(There are more pictures at the bottom of this post. Just bear with me.)
The problem with owning (or, in my case, co-owning) one’s own home based business is that you can’t really escape it. It’s not like you get up in the morning and go to work, and then come home in the [...]

First of all, Ellie seems like she’s doing much better. She’s been a bit more active today, starting with banging on the door to her room (Ellie is confined to her own room at night because I can’t sleep with her running around like a lunatic at 3:00 am) at 7:00 am. That’s [...]

Ellie-bean, our cat for those who don’t know, has been sick the past few days. From pretty much when she first showed up at our house she’s had a bit of weirdness with one of her eyes – her right eye gets cloudy on occasion, but it normally clears up within a few days. Well, [...]

Man, I’ve got to do something about these jungle animals in the blog’s banner. I like tigers and turtles and fish as much as anyone, but every time I click on the blog I think I’m at the zoo.

Yay! Dad arrived here yesterday afternoon, and it’s been Food Quest ever since. We’re such a food family. We’re always taking pictures of food we make and sending them to each other.
Anyway, I had wanted to eat dinner at the Middle Ground Cafe in Gambier (Kenyon College), but unfortunately it’s open different [...]
