New stripey knitting project
Posted in Handmade, Trips, Uncategorized on January 18, 2012 | 3 Comments »
I started knitting a new scarf/shawl this weekend. I haven’t really knit very much in a while, so it’s nice to be back into it. The scarf is scarf/shawl style because it’s wider than a normal scarf; however, since it’s made with lace-weight wool, it will ultimately be a little less bulky than one might [...]
Earth shake

That was clearly that most exciting thing that has happened or will take place in my month of August! I felt my desk shaking and dismissed it, but as it continued and others around me felt it, I realized it was an earthquake. In the same vein of wanting to see a tornado sometime when [...]
Quilting: one letter away from quitting

On Tuesday night I was at one of the monthly meetings for the Philly Modern Quilt Guild, of which I’m a member. I’ve considered quitting because I find it hard to keep up with crafting in general, let alone quilting (which can be expensive, has a lot of steps, and isn’t one of my strongest [...]
No foolin’

So, after just one month and about 1,500 miles on my new car (a Subaru Impreza Outback Sport that we’ve lovingly named Newbaru), I’ve already gotten the first piece piece of road paraphernalia jammed into my tire on my way into Starbucks on Friday: April Fool’s Day. Not a funny joke. It looks like it [...]
Until I get my iPad

Wow. So there’s an app for this! I always thought that if I could blog at lunch or at least edit posts on the go, I’d be able to keep up with this more regularly. This morning it occurred to me that there might be a WordPress app and when I checked at lunch I [...]
Jeez, it’s been a while!

I have been thinking a lot about how to better allocate my free time and am discovering that things have really gotten away from me. I’m going to work on making a change and getting a little more organized. We’ll see how all of this goes, but at least this is a start … writing [...]
Holy Hoppy Beer, Batman.

This past Friday was Firkin Friday at Iron Hill in North Wales. On the first Friday of every month, Iron Hill sells one of its beers (sometime a couple of beers) from a cask. The cask ale differs from beer that comes out of a normal tap because it doesn’t get that last kick of [...]
End of Summer Shoes

The month of July brought new shoes. Actually, I found them and bought them myself in the month. July didn’t actually bring me my shoes … July: Why, hello, Allison. It looks like you could use some shoes. Allison: I certainly would like a few new pairs. Maybe two casual pairs and something a little [...]

True Blood! You know what I just realized? Today, for all intents and purposes, is almost over. That means really only five more days until True Blood starts again! Less than a week until we can see new hot vampire hijinx and be excited about Sunday nights again! I’m most excited to see how [...]
