» That’s a Lot of Sock Yarn!


I sit out on my porch a lot, especially when the weather is nice (and many times even when it’s not—one of the down-sides of being a smoker, though thankfully my porch is covered, so at least I don’t get wet when it rains). My co-worker, AK, knows this and gave me one of the [...]

» 100 Things in 2009


A friend of mine does this thing every year where she makes a list of 100 things she wants to accomplish during that year. I love the idea of it, and so I’m trying to do it this year. I wrote out this list back in December, but I never got around to posting it. [...]
