Cleaning house

Monday, February 18th, 2008

I’m sorta moved in but the new place is way bigger than the old spot, so I ran out of furniture. The older place had really nice built in shelves but other than that, had nothing else redeeming about it. That said, I’ve decided to do a little bit of yarn destashing. […]

October Update

Wednesday, October 24th, 2007

It’s been very busy for me lately but I think things will finally settle down. I say this with hope but I really do like to keep busy despite all my complaints. Idle time is dangerous. As I’ve been very busy, I think the best way to do this is via photos […]

It’s so nice to have you back where you belong

Wednesday, July 18th, 2007

Today’s post title is from my Wordpress’ greeting that changes everytime I log in to write a post and it happens to fit perfectly. I’ve been absent it seems forever but this summer has been very busy and I like that. Here are a couple of things I’ve been up to lately. […]

Spring Fling!

Wednesday, March 21st, 2007

I thought I was having blogging issues but it turns out it’s a plugin…and I really don’t know all that much about this all. That doesn’t excuse my lack of blogging though…been meaning too but then all I seem to do is sit and read other people’s blogs and I have been trying to […]

A piece of beauty

Monday, February 26th, 2007

My poor, frequently dropped cell phone rings through the haze of sleep.”Hello?” I manage to say.
It’s 2.05am.
“Hey babe, I just got off work fifteen minutes ago.” Said the boyfriend who I dropped off at work Sunday morning at the buttcrack of dawn. 5.36am to be specific.
“Damn, no wonder I didn’t hear from you today. […]

Rockin the sock yarn

Wednesday, February 7th, 2007

***OX says “Hell yeah!”***
I was greeted by these lovelies when I got home. Oh my, Socks That Rock, really effin’ ROCK! Okay, whenever I get a yarn order, I ‘ooh and ahh’ and cuddle them for a little bit and then put them away somewhere safe. I have to say, there was […]

Project Spectrum blues

Monday, February 5th, 2007

Gorgeous sock yarn from Lisa Souza that I hope to start on sometime soon. I’m not even sure if I’ll be starting any colours from PS 2.0 because I’m still working on unfinished projects but I had to show these off. The colour is soothing and brilliant, making me wish I was on […]

Favourite online stores

Tuesday, January 30th, 2007

Rainy days…long hours…loud kids…and even more annoying adults. Knitting has been a very welcome escape for me despite the lack of time lately. I seem to spend a lot of time browsing online yarn stores. Here are two of my favourites.

This store is a new find for me, thanks to Lime & […]
