Baby Inkle
Have I mentioned lately how incredibly wonderful and talented my husband is? Sunday morning I said to him, “Honey, could you make a hand-held inkle loom?” Sunday evening he came back upstairs with this: Ain’t it cuuuuuute! Creates up to 44 inches of woven trim. The weaving in progress on it is 21 strands wide, [...]

Preprint, the original
Lookee what I did while waiting for my judging at QPT (and waiting for court after). I didn’t finish it there. Sketched it all in and inked most of it though. Just finished the last bits now. I hope to get it to Ilaria tomorrow at the post QPT party. It was fun to sketch. [...]
QPT Results
It was a fun, if exhausting day. Up at 4:45 a.m. and home at 10:00 p.m. Yikes! I did not plan to be that late but that’s how it transpired. Many thanks to my wonderful, darling husband who sheparded the young ones all day. I got a lot of positive feedback on my piece. My [...]

Knitting FOs
I know I haven’t been blogging about it (or going to the local SnB) lately, but I have been knitting a few things. Here’s some proof: *sigh* I swear those images were showing last night. Now I can’t get them too. Click on the words to go to the image in the yahoo gallery. Now [...]

Preprint, the fourth
I think I went a bit nutz with the white work on this one. Didn’t think I’d ever finish! But, finally, ’tis done.
QPT: Framed
Last week, when I did my “storm shopping,” I did make it out to Hobby Lobby to get a frame and mat for my QPT entry. This is it sitting on the mantle. I need to open it back up and get rid of some shmutz on the mat edge, but other than that… TA [...]

My Favorite Soup
My favorite thing about cold weather is being able to enjoy a nice hot bowl of hearty soup! Thought I’d share my favorite one. The inspiration for this recipe came from the Hillbilly Housewife website. I’ve changed it quite a bit so I feel comfortable posting it. It is a rich hearty soup that even [...]
Preparations
Getting ready for the winter storm that is supposed to hit this weekend. Heading off to the grocery store to get what few items we might need over the weekend.Might even pick up a dvd. Brought in enough wood to fill the wood cubby. Under normal circumstances, we wouldn’t use the fireplace. It still needs [...]

Learning Japanese
Thanks to Satoshi Tajiri, Sam has a burning desire to visit Japan. Dunno who that is? I didn’t until recently either. He’s the guy who invented pokemon. A trip to Japan isn’t about to happen anytime soon, but I figured we could at least start learning about its language, customs and whatnot. Who knows, if [...]
