Dog gives every indication of being just fine. Little beast sure put me through a panic this morning! Anyway, she’s outside chasing Nieve around and being her normal, perky, pesty self. Hopefully this being-just-fine thing continues, and I’m pretty sure that it will. I probably worry too much, but that’s just how I am.

When your dog steals your breakfast, which could prove toxic to her, so you have to make her barf. That sucks! This morning, I was eating my breakfast at the coffee table in the living room, because I had started to dig through some boxes of paperwork I wanted to organize, and I had it […]

I finished another top today – another v-neck knit from the New Look 6149 pattern: I discovered I had a choker that went really well with the fabric, so I put it on the dummy as well. I went a little nuts with matching up the pattern along the seamlines and consequently you can hardly […]

The following two videos are among the reasons I love the Internet. Also, this is some bouncy music, make no mistake about it. I’m discoing all over the place over here. 1979 Eurvision contenders Dschinghis Khan from Germany bring it all the way! I don’t think there is any way to improve upon this presentation. […]

Joel gave this to me for Christmas and it’s AWESOME, originally uploaded by Meetzorp. Of all the awesome things I forgot to write about, I can’t believe I forgot this one, so here it is: My new singlespeed! Yes, yes, Joel surprised all of the heck out of me on Christmas Eve, hooking me up […]

So, I had the grumpies the other day because I was sick, but honestly an almost uncountable number of awesome and good things have happened in the past week and I’ve been too under the weather to post about them. I guess I should back it up to the day before Christmas Eve, when Joel […]

Klutziness? Fever-addled incompetence? Loss of mind? Whatever you want to call it, at midafternoon on Friday, things were not coming together as planned. I was starting to feel a better from my little bout with the flu, but I obviously wasn’t up to full power. Fortunately, today I was back on the right track, and […]

Flu, that’s what. The last two months of ’08 have been a little rough on me. Attacked by a stray dog, hit by a truck, bronchitis/asthma-attack/cold, and now a standard-issue case of the flu. You know, muscle aches, stomach ache, head ache, overwhelming lethargy. I’m hauling my butt back to bed. Whenever I feel more […]

I re-sized a 1972 Simplicity tee-shirt pattern and cut out the test garment last night with some scrap left over from my Very Frilly Blouse. The pattern was originally for a 36″ bust, and Simplicity has a long history of running big. I measured the pieces and realized that it was set to fit a […]
