I saw this particular little weekly feature on Turtlegirl’s blog and thought I might follow suit. Of course, afterwards I googled WIP Wednesday, and apparently it’s not a new idea…so now I don’t feel quite so cheesy! My Noro striped shawl is shaping up quite nicely. It’s getting large enough to take more time to […]
Not Cushion! Domo is guarding tree! This is what I woke up to yesterday morning. Hope your tree guardian was just as effective 🙂
So far, today has been nice and relaxing, aside from a little traffic. We went for a wonderful breakfast, and picked up a couple of things that Robin needed from one of the stores (not the mall, thank goodness). We’re now taking a little time to rest up for the main holiday events. I’ve been […]
Just a quick one before dashing off to work on the shortest day of the year… Stayed up way too late last night to watch the beginning of the Lunar Eclipse last night. I even took a few pictures! When I get home from work this afternoon, I’ll go through them and see if any […]
Well, the thing about a black hole – its main distinguishing feature – is it’s black. And the thing about space, the colour of space, your basic space colour, is black. So how are you supposed to see them? –Holly, Ship’s computer, Red Dwarf (episode: Marooned) You see that sock? It’s black. And the thing […]
A few weeks ago, I was nuking some leftovers for lunch at work. A co-worker came out, inspected my chili, deemed it savory-smelling enough, and then commented that he had the exact same plastic tubs at home but was hesitant to use them. When pressed, he muttered “Bisphenol-A” and left it at that. That’s my […]
Aside from the weird colours of “plaid” displayed at the local Tommy Hilfiger shop, we found this sweater that had to boldly assert the fact that it is, indeed, fair-isle. WTF? Seriously, if the husbeast wasn’t already aware of what Fair-Isle knitting was, this would stump him. I can see men all over the world […]
Remember that whole pretending to be grown up thing I was talking about? We’re making a pretty concerted effort to be more aware of what’s going on, and it’s really paying off. This is what it looks like around here tonight. We’re finding that with both of us working on our respective writing, we can […]
It’s that time of year. We braved the mall yesterday, and did quite a bit of Christmas shopping. The adults aren’t quite so difficult to shop for once you start tweaking onto them. It’s the kids. You’d think that the kids would be easy to shop for…when I was their age, I wanted half the […]
Welcome to my home: This is what I came home to last Sunday. We had spent most of the weekend cleaning, and Robin had decided to finish the job while I was at work. He also cooked dinner (stir-fry), and we cleaned up afterwards. The kitchen is still in pretty good shape. We’re trying to […]
