That Kersti, She’s a Vixen

Posted on: Tuesday, September 30th, 2003 in: Uncategorized

I was thrilled to see Matt post yesterday, and with him up until 7 a.m., I was the responsible party until I got him up around 1:30 p.m. He said to wake him at 11, but I felt he needed more rest, and I fielded the three sets of folks that came by during [...]

Monday, Sweet Monday

Posted on: Monday, September 29th, 2003 in: Uncategorized

I’ll probably get back to posting later today, but it’s been a wickedly busy, wildly fun, and overly interesting three days since Friday morning. Some details later, but suffice to say–we were hoppin’.
In much more fun news, MATT POSTED THIS MORNING! If you’d like to see progress pictures (and a couple a fab [...]

Nothing Profound Today

Posted on: Friday, September 26th, 2003 in: Uncategorized

Thanks for the great exchanges yesterday regarding my very opinionated post and perspective on things. If there’s one thing I am, it’s opinionated (or is it stubborn). Marcia commented that she nearly married a Lithuanian man awhile ago, but that he was one of the best men she ever knew, but stubborn. [...]

Up on the Soapbox, Click Click Click

(sung to the tune of “Old Saint Nick”……..). It’s my blog and I’ll preach if I wanna……..oops, another song. My apologies to Wabi Sabi, as her “thing” is song lyrics and blog posts…….but I’m hoisting myself up this morning, so ready yourself with tomatoes–but the content is how I believe, and you can [...]

The Power of Friendship

Posted on: Wednesday, September 24th, 2003 in: Uncategorized

Today’s entry will be much shorter than yesterday’s–I promise! Some time in the latter part of the morning yesterday I started feeling a little queasy in the tummy, retired to the bedroom for a nap with the dogs (I had both of them up on the bed with me), and tried to sleep it [...]

Makin’ Up For Lost Time

Posted on: Tuesday, September 23rd, 2003 in: Uncategorized

Sorry about the hiatus, folks. And much thanks for the comments, tagboard notes, and e-mails about how you miss entries and hope everything is alright. Everything is fine, so to speak. It’s just that the third week of the month, every month, gets a little busy. Monday is a knit night [...]

UPS Caught Me By Surprise

Posted on: Wednesday, September 17th, 2003 in: Uncategorized

So much for my planned entry today—UPS came E-A-R-L-Y (different driver, so he came at 9 a.m., and I was still in sweats and a polo shirt…ick). He’s dropped tons o’goodness on us–more Denise needles, more Crystal Palace needles, and four boxes of books! We’re now stocked up on 30 copies of Jamieson [...]

A Little Bit Of Catch-Up

Posted on: Tuesday, September 16th, 2003 in: Uncategorized

First off, have you seen the latest edition of KNITTY? Lawdy tunderin jaysus (to misquote The Knitting Curmudgeon). Such a fantastic collection of projects! Such innovation! Such beauty (and I thought I saw beauty yesterday–wait, I saw the new edition yesterday, so I WAS surrounded by beauty all day long! [...]

Surrounded By Beauty

Posted on: Monday, September 15th, 2003 in: Uncategorized

Wow, has it really been nearly a week since I made a “real” posting? I don’t count Wednesday’s two Koigu-stalking entries real posts, as they were mainly me being silly and such. It’s been busy here, without question. But it’s been wonderful as well–meeting new people, helping friends with new projects, and [...]

The Horror of It All

Posted on: Wednesday, September 10th, 2003 in: Uncategorized

It’s hard to fathom, but we’re awash in Koigu. She sent more than I asked for, so we’re inundated. 621 new skeins of KPPPM and over 100 of Kerstie (some got backordered), plus patterns. I’m sure we’ll have some slutty picture of all of the yarn up shortly, but at least it’s [...]
