Well, that was an awfully long hiatus to go on without planning it. The first couple of months can be attributed to my general laziness, but I’ve been experiencing extreme fatigue since September, which didn’t leave me with much spare time, or at least not much spare time in which I was conscious. (As a [...]

I have been sorely neglecting the cross stitch pony as of late, and I should really get back to work on him soon, so that he does not think he has been put out to pasture. No, he doesn’t look very much like a pony so far. Maybe slightly, though. I had one of those [...]

For a while, I was focusing on cross stitch, specifically this pony, which is not hard at all, but the browns can wear on you after a while, so I’m taking a break from it until I finish my hat. I love this hat kit. Although maybe I shouldn’t be saying that before I’m finished, [...]

Ah, yes. I promised last month that I would post some yarn pr0n photos, did I not? Fleece Artist Merino Boucle. It looks something like dreadlocks, but since Fleece Artist also has a yarn called Dreadlocks, it is probably not wise to describe it as such. Crack Silk Haze. Duuude. ‘Nuff said. You don’t know [...]

My first sock is all finished and, wonder of wonders, it actually looks like a sock. Darn this people having two feet thing. Oh, well. It could be worse. I could be a millipede. As a break from the pair o’ socks, I’ve cast on for another SWS seed stitch scarf with big needles, because [...]

Maybe Groundhog Day is supposed to be in February, but I don’t care. I had my own Groundhog Day in August. Yesterday my boyfriend and I went to Rockwood Park and I made friends with a groundhog. Isn’t he just the cutest thing ever? (This is the groundhog, not my boyfriend.) Well, the cutest thing [...]

My boyfriend and I went to the New Brunswick Museum on Canada Day because admission was free then. One of the things there that I hadn’t seen before was the temporary exhibit of quilts from the New Brunswick Museum collection. I was slightly disappointed that only about twelve quilts from the huge collection are on [...]

Just proving that I really have made significant progress on Live Simply. Just a small bit of blue left, and then the backstitching. I wish the fabric was a lot more yellowy than it is. (I realize it doesn’t look at all yellowish in this picture, but it does look a bit more yellow in [...]

Go wish Ria a happy birthday! I got a considerable amount of work done on Live Simply on Tuesday, because I had an unexpected day off. I couldn’t go to work for a completely ridiculous yet completely legitimate reason: I stubbed my toe. But I stubbed it really hard, shortly before I was supposed to [...]
