Another week begins . . .

and I am up early! Yay! Now, if I can just STAY up and not go back to bed, I should be off to the start of a very productive day! This weekend wasn't so productive. I usually can get multiple yarns done each day, but the past 3 days, I seemed to be stuck on getting just one colorway spun up. I...

New art yarn . . .

I have a new FunctionArt art yarn listed in my shop - it is a colorway I've done before but as always this one is a little different. I think this batch of fiber was a bit darker and I used some different yarns I didn't have when I spun the other one - one skein has sold already but here is the...

Midwest Fiber & Folk Art Fair

First, I have to say my website issue still is not resolved, and in the wee hours of the morning I realized that my *url forwarding* may have expired MONTHS ago?!?!? That *really* sucks. And while it is my fault the domains themselves expired because I wasn't checking that email - if the forwarding...

My morning so far . . .

So, this morning when I woke up, I was very tired. I thought, "I have to leave work early today anyways I should just stay home." But, no. I've only got 18 more days left, I should really go in . . . So, I did. Well, eventually. It took me *two hours* to get to work this morning. It usually takes...

Just when I thought . . .

So, last night was Monday night. That means I spin to "Big Bang Theory" and "How I Met Your Mother" . . . but after that, I usually switch over to the end of "Dancing with the Stars" before heading over to ESPN or some sports stuff to leave on as background noise until I sleep . . . so . . I switch...

Something about Buffy . . .

well, actually this is about Spike and Angel. So, on my way to work this morning, I was listening to a CD that had two of the Buffy musical songs on it, one of them being Spike's song . . . which of course got me thinking about Spike in general . . . and about how many fans find one of the most...
