I have packed all that I can think of, have prepped a bunch of food items, gathered all the essentials I can think of and sewed my last stitch. We are off to Trillium Wars…and will return at some point on Sunday…HAve a good weekend…

I recently sold some of my junk and yarn on ebay to help finance a knitting tote acquisition. Sadly some of my stuff went for less than I had hoped it would…growing up I spent many hours at auctions so I know how the dice roll auctionwise but that doesn’t make it any less disappointing!However [...]

Wednesday afternoon Ms Abi and I will be joining the Birch/Imrie clan for Trillium wars. This is an SCA event so me and the little need garb…period garb as in Yar! We be Vikings!… Ms. Tanya has been uber-helpful with sewing most of my garb (we struck a bit of a deal) considering she has [...]

So here I am at work doing my worky thing when who do I see but Kainani and her Boi Dave and their NINE WEEK OLD DAUGHTER PIPER!!!!! So cute and tiny! Made the ovaries hurt she did! We had a short visit and I gave her my number so fingers crossed we can get [...]

Just as Mr. Mo and I were going to head up to the Crappytire to pick up the camping gear I will need for next week a Canada Post truck drove up and blocked us in…There was a moment of “Oh my God can our filter be here already???!!!”…the package was infact my first gifty [...]

I have been a bit remiss in keeping up with my fibery persuits so I have assembled a few photos for an update… First off I have just cast off the Cable Cardi Wrap and will block it tonight after the kidlette goes to sleep. I will post some pictures after the whole blocking process [...]

When I relayed my sleeve issue to two Knitting Muggles who (luckily) I love very much, they each in turn wondered if I couldn’t finish the sleeve with another yarn…The second muggle unfortunatly got a slightly twitchier than normal “NO I CANNOT!!!!”. Bless their little hearts they were just trying to help and thank the [...]

Those of you how make great things with sticks and string can relate to this particular annoyance! I’m booking along on my Cable Cardi Wrap (completly ignoring my Dad’s Second sock…) when I discover that I’m out of yarn…10 flippin’ rows form the end of the sleeve!!!! What a drag! I now have to buy [...]

Perhaps it’s just me but I find it interesting that Morgan and I were bottleing mead the day before the first day of summer…We will also be bottleing the remaining two batches just as soon as our new toy arrives. This filter will help with removing the crud and make filling less messy. We have [...]

I hurt…not a lot but just enough to know that bellydancing uses some muscles I don’t normally use. I had a plan to practice some more today but I think I’m going to just rest and take thinks up tomorrow. Class was great fun! As long as I wasn’t thinking about what I was doing [...]
