Will write for yarn.
I am fairly open here, from the safety of my dining room table desk, seated in front of my dinosaur laptop. I suppose I feel a certain amount of anonymity, as everyone seems to on the internet. But I am also socially retarded, so I often make glib jokes about totally inappropriate things. Like mental [...]
Wanna chuckle at my kid’s possible future interest in being dizzy? Maybe he’ll just like riding those octopus rides at county fairs.
This is him walking around in my reading glasses, fascinated by his feet not being exactly where he thinks they should be.
…if I don’t post today.
If I cannot find the humor in my dysfunction right now, I suspect we would all do better to take a hot bath and a nap and call it a day.
Catch y’all later.
I took my sons to my favorite coffee shop today, the Starlight Cafe. I had to meet someone next door to it, and the cafe is very kid-friendly (thank you Carri!), so I thought it would be fun to pop in and chill for a while with some juice and cookies.
I knew Ethan was tired. [...]
Growing up, when I heard the word “knitting” I thought of those haloed, plastic-feeling acrylic baby blankets, old ladies in rocking chairs, and the world’s most unflattering sweaters. If you know enough to have found this blog, chances are you know the needle arts have come a long way.

And also, [...]

Whenever I think of the Spanish word for birthday – cupleanos – I think of “accomplish.” I have accomplished another year.
Not terribly impressive when you think about it. Unless you know me.
My father came [...]
There is this 25 random facts thing circulating on Facebook right now, and one of the things a friend wrote really resonated with me. She said she almost quit using the social networking site because it reminded her of her high school angst and it made her feel uneasy.
I’ve been sort of dealing with the [...]
I have come up with a way to decide whether to purge an item from your home or keep it.
Perhaps to most people, this is easy stuff, and not worth devising a litmus test for, but I have something of a…problem.
I sew things from recycled fabric and sweaters, so I see potential in nearly every [...]
