Whups!
Okay, even though I've been really good about posting (M-F!) over on the knitting blog, I forget that not everyone reads that (even though they could, through the syndicated feed).
So, to keep everyone up on stuff:
As of right now, I am back down to 61 UFOs, with hopes of getting under 60 again (and once and for all!) by the end of the Olympics ( Read more... ) -
I'm so far behind...
Yikes!
First, Happy Birthday buubala! Sorry I spaced and missed it, hope you had a great day!!
Second - ladysmith oh DRAT. I totally forgot where you lived now, thus spaced on setting something up whilst we were down your way. And didn't have internet access until we got back home. Drat, drat, drat. We would've loved to see you guys, too ( Read more... ) -
I love having a phone cam. I just need a better one...
Okay, so, there's a really pretty fountain at the Waterfront. Today, the light was Just So, and the flags around the center columns were reflected nicely in the still water. ( pix back here ) -
Small but Ferocious!
Okay, so, I got the UFO count down to 60 again on Friday, much to my happy.

The Excitement! Okay, so I wanted to go to Victoria, BC, last fall, but had wretched-bad feelings about actually going. Thea Dueck, founder of The Victoria Sampler, my favorite cross-stitch design supplier, designed a Twelve Days of Christmas sampler/ornaments last year. And it was offered at a class in Victoria, exclusively. (This ( Read more... ) -
Low-Stress Destashing
There's a CONSIGNMENT YARN/STITCHING STORE on eBay! I'm totally going to try them, and get rid of some of the stuff I'm never, ever going to use. They're Stitch in Peace, and it looks like using them would also mean my things would find good homes. And, of course, get me $$ for more stash. Yay ( Read more... ) -

Stitchopoly!!
This is too fun to not post everywhere (so 'pologies to folks getting this twice):
It's Stitchopoly!! I'll be getting one for my friend Midge for her upcoming birthday. Probably one for myself, too... she just saw it at AC Moore, had to call me and tell me about it, and I reminded her NOT to buy it for herself.

Ooo, real camera needed...
