- Jacki’s Etsy Shop
I got an accidental early birthday present today. It was accidental because I didn’t know I wasn’t supposed to open it yet. Oops. Anyway, inside were these:
They’re combs for turning fleecey locks into roving! They’re a gift from Travis‘ Mom and Bob. Thanks, Bob and Dian! How neat of [...]
Well, not entirely lazy. More like a low energy day. I’ve done a little bit of stuff – combed out some new roving balls for the shop, posted a few new items (I started putting a few skeins of yarn up yesterday – oh, and I also started taking international orders, too!), did [...]
Not only was the shop on the Chum’s ESoTD (which is awesome, and I’m thrilled about), but the vast, steaming, legal shitpile I’ve had to deal with for the past 10 months is finally over! Hooray! Drinks are on me. And here’s what I’ve learned – some people are [...]

CHEX!!!
(62 cups of Chex Mix coming at you!)
BERRIES!!!
(It looks like we’ll be harvesting berries steadily over the next week. Yay!)
And, of course, ICE CREAM!!!

One of the top searches that leads to this page is “little red bugs.” Not too sure what to make of that.
Anyway, hi! It’s been a little crazy lately. People have actually been placing orders from the shop, so woot! I’m trying to comb up a few sets of roving balls [...]
The last few days have been pretty dramatic. There have been a combo of Very Bad and Very Good things happening. At one point, I had had about 4 hours of sleep within 48 hours. I was so tired, but couldn’t go to sleep. The 4 hours I did manage to [...]
Or, at least, one small corner of Etsy. Finally! Hooray! My combed roving balls are breaking free from their roving ball prison and are waiting to see the light of day! Or something.
Here’s some of what’s for sale:
They’re fluffy and soft and would like a new home.
The new [...]
…but I miss the food.
I watched The View this morning for the first time. Michelle Obama was on, and was completely, stunningly awesome. Bask in the girlcrush, you know you want to! Anyway, since I normally never watch TV during the day, I took advantage of the time to finish [...]

As I’ve often mentioned on this blog, my family loves food. We are foodies, and proud of it. We are the people sitting across from you at restaurants, taking pictures of our dinner. We are the people who linger in the cheese department, carefully weighing the pros and cons of buying a [...]
It is so crazy hot here right now. I think Al Gore turned up the global warming furnace to punish us.
Despite the heat, I’ve been busy with wool-related activities. And more baking, because Travis and I, we are addicted to the bread. So much so that even though the temp [...]
