Thankfully, fall is a powerfully positive influence on me, so it has helped me heal from the loss of a kitten. The rest of my fur babies are  happy and safe, and that makes all the difference. I was emptying my camera onto my computer and stumbled upon a picture of all four of them, mom and kittens, and the lump arrived in my throat as expected, ( Read more... )

I get frustrated when I see pictures of people wearing 4th Doctor scarves that have OBVIOUS color flaws, like.... blue?? Please, people, find me a single picture where Tom Baker is wearing a scarf with blue in it! I know the gray tends to look ever so slightly blue when beside the other earthier colors, but it's still not blue. Period. Granted, I ( Read more... )

So there is good news, and there is bad news... I think I'll start with the bad, because I'd rather have the last impression be a positive one :)

Bad news: The fabric I use for my chemises, for which I might note I have found no other comparable fabric, has been bumped up in price.. which wouldn't be such a big deal since I often wait until it's on ( Read more... )

Man, today just isn't my day. I've been really excited about a new idea I had last year for a twist on the original Doctor Who Half Scarf I've been making, and I'd been waiting until I finished my other orders before starting on it... Big mistake, I guess! I was curious so I went searching through Etsy to see the other DW scarves on the market out ( Read more... )

As in, they are slightly less than capable of completely incompetent about shipping things internationally. I am a bundle of nerves because my customer from Australia still hasn't gotten his scarf in the mail AND I SENT IT AUGUST 2ND via Priority Mail. They must have sent it by sailboat.

Also, I think we have two totally different definitions of the ( Read more... )

I honestly didn't expect anyone to be interested in purchasing a Doctor Who scarf in the heat of summer, but then I didn't take into account those DW fans in other climates/hemispheres.... So, I have been a busy little bee, knitting until my hands cramp and then knitting some more, and (as my husband has joked many times) I'm surprised I haven't ( Read more... )

Today is a peaceful day. I always like the way it feels when an Etsy order has been completed and successfully shipped... not only because that means I don't have to stress over it anymore, but also because it means that (until the next order) I get to make stuff for ME again! ;)

Manatees. They are endangered, but I personally am no threat to them whatsoever (I don't have a boat, I don't live where they are, etc.) and I don't really have the power on my own to stop the threat. What I can do, though, is raise awareness by sharing EFA's blog:

I was thinking about the first litter again today. It feels so long ago, and it's hard to believe that only one of the five is still with us. It just occurred to me how long it's been since I posted anything (besides the Letters to Furry Creatures, which was copied here from my other blog)... I was right about a second litter, though! Vincent and ( Read more... )
