Offensive AND Cute

Bad language ahead.  Consider yourself warned.
 
I have been having a bad day or two.  Someone has upset me very much by being a big meanie bum.  Much worse than usual.  I’d like to think I am a nice sort of person, so I don’t name names or talk behind backs.  So where do I put [...]

I finally did it!

I got a tetanus shot, whoo!  Yeah, the same one I have been putting off since mid September last year.  I am a huge wuss, it goes without saying.  I knew I’d be fine, but I am unreasonably fearful of needles.  Unfortunately knowing just how unreasonable it is, hasn’t made it go away yet.  Not [...]

Pumpkin Bom

Introducing my first ever handspun yarn, Pumpkin Bom.  She is a little uneven, but she is fabulous, as far as I am concerned. 

I plied it, well, because that seemed like it would be much easier than the spinning so I figured ‘why not?’.  I think I was right.  It did my very overspun singles a world [...]

Happy Father’s Day :-)

Here is what I made for my Dad this year.  Don’t worry, he definately won’t read this between now and Sunday.

He knows I have been crocheting him a scarf in the colours of his softball team (The Redbacks BTW).  But he has no idea that I’ve felted his name onto it.  Before I had done [...]

Playing catch-up

Check out Nsharp’s post from yesterday, too funny http://nsharporg.wordpress.com/2007/08/19/two-superheros-with-x-ray-vision-and-a-hot-girl-guess-what-happens/ 
OK, been out of commission waaay to long.  So I’ll try not to be too wordy here and make with a few pics each most to show what I have been up to this last month.  Basically, it was a bad month work-wise and it got in [...]

Apron for SIL, finished

Yeah, I know you didn’t get to see any WIP pics of this little baby.  But it is reasonably basic, so it really wasn’t necessary anyhow.  Sewn for my Sister In Law - in part to thank her for taking the trouble and time to organise my Mum’s upcoming luau themed 50th Birthday party - partly because [...]

and one more, makes three

I finally got around to making chunky grey wrist warmers to match my stashbusting beret and scarf from a few weeks back.

I don’t usually go for wristwarmers, I am more of a glove gal.  I prefer the elegant to, well, the chunky.  But this is a chunky set, so chunky wrist warmers seemed like the [...]

Dry yarn

The yarn I dyed a few days ago was nice and dry yesterday so I took it out for a photo session.

I think I love it even more now.  Both the orange and green on green one are incredibly squishy despite being bargain basement yarns (Dashing, part of Spotlight’s Basics range).  The pic above is not [...]

picture obese

OK, I promised pictures.  Here goes…

Wanna see what I was up to this weekend?  Well last night I dyed, a lot.  Above, that is all of it.  Wool and silk.  Yummy.  Please excuse my poor excuse for a front yard, we are in the middle of a drought here.  I should drape yarn about more [...]

Back to normal?

Well, I disappeared for a while there.  I won’t bore you all with why, well not the long version anyhow.  Sadly, I wasn’t swamped with swapping duties.  No, I was working.  Unusual I know!  Basically I have been doing two jobs, and neither of them very well, because - well it just seems to work [...]
