I Hate to Post and Run, But…

      No Comments on I Hate to Post and Run, But…

I don’t know why, but on nights when I’m out, when I get home and mail my blog pictures to myself from my phone, they take for-effin-ever to get to me, forcing me to send them another route. It’s very frustrating because oh hey, I’m tired and want to get in bed. But I have set myself this task of… Read more »

Nearly Time for a Tea Party…

      No Comments on Nearly Time for a Tea Party…

Tea Party being the name of that colourful skein on my keyboard, hee hee. My next big project is a pair of socks for me — after I finish these tiny ones for Littlerbit. I’m thinking that this might be a sock-heavy year, because I want to use my spending money buying really freaking nice wool, and the price point… Read more »

Buttmail and Other Things

      No Comments on Buttmail and Other Things

I still haven’t gotten my outgoing mail outgoing, naughty naughty. I realised today that was in part because I didn’t have the packing materials to hand and my brain couldn’t find an extra spoon to futz with that at the Post Office, even if people are super-polite about that in the queue. I found a box in the kitchen suitable… Read more »

My Attempt at an Angry Face

      No Comments on My Attempt at an Angry Face

Yeah, not really sure that it looks angry… mildly concerned, maybe? But I am pretty upset right now. The tl;dr is that bat’s sister is turfing her out and making her sell her home. There are reasons for it, but I still feel that bat is getting royally screwed to fulfil an agenda his sister has been pushing for years…. Read more »

Fly-By Birthday-ness

      No Comments on Fly-By Birthday-ness

I came, I saw, I turned 35. I had a good meal, I socialised with friends, and got slightly miffed by someone being an ass. The latter was a minor dent on an otherwise stellar day, but I had a good whine about it on the way home and feel oodles better. I think. *chuckles* But really, it was mainly… Read more »

You Can Buy Knife Anything!

      No Comments on You Can Buy Knife Anything!

Knife sword, knife pineapple… knife kitchen towels?! I was at Stitch ‘n Bitch, as I am on my alternate Wednesdays, which I’m sure all of you have clocked by now ’cause I mention it every time. One of our regulars had brought a cake, and had brought paper towels to hand it out on, and a knife to cut it… Read more »

Sock Yawn

      No Comments on Sock Yawn

It’s the alternate Thursday, so it was Pins & Needles time. There were only five us at the group today, which worked out in one aspect — it meant I had more than enough stitch markers to gift. They were well received, and even more so when they twigged that they were handmade by me. Hee. *digs toe into dirt,… Read more »

Food, Glorious Food!

At our normal Thursday meeting, the pub in question puts on some free grub for us. It’s usually some potato chips and sandwiches, but they gave us the option of chipping in and getting something a bit fancier. Don’t let the savoury picture fool you — that was only a fraction of the trays they presented us. Suffices to say,… Read more »

Again and Again

      No Comments on Again and Again

Today has been a day of knitting in circles. But not like, the productive sort of circles, no. I’m doing varying sizes of gauge squares to figure out what needles I’m going to do these blasted socks on. It’s fine though. My brain is settled back into knitting and not being stressed about knitting and its related people, so it… Read more »

Food Coma

      No Comments on Food Coma

I just got back from our annual Stitch ‘n Bitch Christmas dinner. And while I had intended to share a picture of my meal, I can’t. I ate so much that thinking about or looking food is making my gorge rise. But man, worth it. Herd puts on a good Christmas dinner. And! We were apparently their first Christmas dinner… Read more »
