Kitty-cats don’t like it when their schedules change. This one particularly doesn’t like the fact that the time change means her feeding schedule has changed. She’s gotten particularly vocal about it, in fact, and prone to wandering between the closed pantry and her bowls. She’s also developed this whole weird glowy-eye thing that makes me […]
Last year we left off getting a pumpkin until the last minute. And then we couldn’t find one if our lives depended on it, and even the faux Pumpkins at Michael’s Crafts were gone, and I was a very sad lady. Why? Because I like to carve pumpkins. To the point where, after gutting the […]
I figured I would make this an official post rather than a hint in the sidebar of the website for October’s Skinflint Sock Club project. I’m very close to finishing test sock #1 for my new pattern release, 28:06:42:12. If those numbers sound familiar, it’s because that is when the world will end. I will […]
I know, I know…with the exception of yesterday’s post (which was a special event, yes), updates have been light on the ground. But I have an excuse…I’ve been busy! While The Yarn Harlot was taking part in Babywatch 2011, we have been doing a bit of the same. First off, a co-worker of mine was […]
I mentioned that there probably wouldn’t be any pictures of muffins on my blog right? I lied. I found a low-carb muffin recipe and decided to give it a whirl. Ingredients? Cream Cheese, Eggs, Splenda, Vanilla and cinnamon (just a little tapped on top for a bit of zest). They’re currently cooling on the counter, […]
This is what it looks like outside, so there will be no wonderfully naturally-lit photos this week. Instead, you get to marvel that my carpet has actually seen a vacuum cleaner in recent days (I love my Dyson). I’ve gotten quite a bit of work done on Robin’s “Theoretical” sweater. He has named it the […]
So on Wednesday (but published on Thursday for you folks who are sticklers) I alluded to the fact that the Camouflage Socks are finished (well, not exactly allusion, since I outright stated it, but it was a good opportunity to use a $20 word in a sentence) And with that, the official August socks are […]
Dear Major Computer & Peripherals Company, I’m sure this was not your intention, but I’d like to thank you for the inordinate heat that your laptop batteries put out. The laptop I have is a few years old, so I have no doubt that you have since fixed what I am now calling the “hot […]
I may have mentioned that Calgary recently played host to a whole schwack of celebrities during the Calgary Comic & Entertainment Expo. We apparently had Shatner, and Felicia Day, and a whole bunch of web artists. It also had my friend Mike. Mike is our former roommate back from when we were living in the […]
It hardly feels like it’s been almost two weeks since I started these. It feels like they’ve been going faster than lightning, but maybe that’s just because I’m doing them both at the same time and the colour is so happyshiny that I don’t necessarily want them to end. Well, I obviously want them to […]
