http://blog.erdufylla.net a mother-daughter knitting blog Sun, 20 Jul 2008 22:21:18 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en It's been a good week. In a nutshell... On Monday, one of our new people started at work, and we spent much of the week training her. She's wonderful, and I think she'll be a great addition to our group. On Tuesday, we spent Girls Night by watching an oldie ... http://blog.erdufylla.net/2008/07/20/i-am-twenty-seven-koo-koo-kachoo/ How was your 4th of July weekend? Mine was rather rotten. Or at least, it was really, really wet. The plan on the 4th was to go to the Koka Booth Amphitheatre in Cary for their fireworks celebration, just like we did last year. We had a fabulous ... http://blog.erdufylla.net/2008/07/07/god-provided-the-fireworks-show-this-year/ ETA: For some reason, this blog post got deleted. (Perhaps the server had to be set back. Who knows.) Thanks be to the Livejournal syndicated feed, which still had it up, so I was able to copy and paste it back over here. This weekend, starting on Thursday, has ... http://blog.erdufylla.net/2008/06/30/a-thoroughly-gratifying-weekend/ It's funny how, the minute you say, "Thank goodness we're entering the quiet time of the year," the work just begins to pile up. People who've had those back-burner projects floating around in the recesses of their mind start popping out of the woodwork like mushrooms after a summer ... http://blog.erdufylla.net/2008/06/23/rambling-updates-from-a-fiberholic/ I have always been more of a process knitter than a project knitter. It's rather in keeping with my whole "jack of all trades" personality and rampant bouts of ADD. I'm far too easily distracted by the coolest new yarn, or the loveliest new colorway, or the gorgeous ... http://blog.erdufylla.net/2008/06/11/tangled-up-in-wips/ Well, I survived my stint as tradeshow-attendee extraordinaire, attending three tradeshows, stretching from one coast to another, within a five-week timespan. I enjoyed my time in Atlantic City and Anaheim, but of course this last show - TNNA in Colubmus, OH - was by far the most enjoyable, since ... http://blog.erdufylla.net/2008/06/10/tnna-recap/ Apologies - I thought I posted this earlier, and I apparently never got around to it. Better late than never, though, right? So, I'm in the middle of doing that thing I promised myself I was never going to do again. No, not that thing - the other thing. ... http://blog.erdufylla.net/2008/05/26/california-dreamin/ Hoo boy, I'm tired. It's been a loooooong couple of weeks. It's life in the fast-lane at work, and we're all busy busy busy trying to get everything ready for our next tradeshow, which starts on Sunday. Yours truly flies out to Anaheim on Thursday to join ... http://blog.erdufylla.net/2008/05/12/life-in-the-fast-lane/ Hello again! Liz here, reporting direct from Atlantic City, NJ. The last few weeks have been hectic and chaotic, as we're entering our spring tradeshow season at work. Our first big show of the season starts tomorrow, here in AC, and I arrived yesterday to help with ... http://blog.erdufylla.net/2008/04/29/hello-atlantic-city/ I had big plans for yesterday. I was going to finish cleaning out my office and get started on the back room at the store. Instead, I was tied to the computer for quite a while in the morning, trying to get payroll tax info to the accountant. ... http://blog.erdufylla.net/2008/04/17/in-which-she-finds-pastels/ Settle in -- this could get lengthy. That's what happens when I only post sporadically. My mother is a collector of, well, many things. She loves pretty things, and until recently, more was always better. She's in downsizing mode now though, so the mantle has been passed to ... http://blog.erdufylla.net/2008/04/16/the-element-of-surprise/ I have to admit, I've been a bad, negligent sister. My baby brother turned 23 this past Friday, and I didn't so much as send him an email, much less give him a call or send him a birthday card. I'm a bad, bad sister. So, my ... http://blog.erdufylla.net/2008/04/09/belated-happy-birthdays-and-56-hour-books/
