2006 Favorites and Goals for the New Year…
Click on the collage for links to the individual photos over on Flickr
It was interesting to look through my 2006 photos to pick the “Top 20″ for the year. The first 12 photos are ones selected by Flickr in the order of Interestingness determined by their magic formula. The last 8 are ones [...]
Just Need to Share…
Because I don’t post photos of him very often, I just had to share this one. It was one that I took at our “photo session” before Christmas, and I like how it came out when I converted it to black & white. I still need to work on my mad Photoshop skillzzz, [...]
Knitting Fool…
First up, the Argosy scarf. (There are more finished objects to come as soon as I get photos!) I started this as we watched Rice play in their bowl game on December 22nd. I finished most of the first ball of Noro that night, and all was well.
On the 23rd, [...]
The Narrator Who Ruined Christmas…
After we watched Rudolph, we realized today that we needed the alternate perspective of Sam the Snowman.
Merry Christmas!
Santa knew just what I wanted, and it was under the tree this morning! (It is a very wide angle lens, in case the numbers don’t mean anything to you.) I loooooove it.
Santa also brought me a lot of other great goodies, including:
- a 2gb memory card for my camera
- a Stitch & [...]

Tired. Still.
Two days in the car, over 1000 miles logged. I’m tired, and I wasn’t even the one driving it. Allergies have attacked, and my eyes itch and my throat is scratchy.
I needed a flower this morning. It is helping my recovery.
I managed to knit 3.5 strips for my Faith Jacket in the [...]
Whoops.
It seems that if you are editing a podcast late at night while feeling a bit loopy, you might just end up completely leaving out a song.
The file has been edited and the new version of episode 11 of the podcast is now online.
Now I need to run around the house with my [...]
Episode 11 – Road Trip!
Oh goodness – when you are tired and should be packing instead of podcasting, you tend to ramble. So this episode may be a little “off” – my apologies in advance to everyone! I had to get it out before we went on the road, so the next episode will come out a [...]
Right, Sure it Does…
Mike found this this morning and asked if this summed up the last two weeks of my Trig class. It does, so perfectly. I swear, they are just making that stuff up.
From xkcd.
The Holiday Spirit…
For the past … oh, I don’t know how many years anymore … I have had problems getting into the holiday spirit. Big problems. First, consider the fact that it was in the 70s today in Houston, 10 days before Christmas. Nothing says holiday shopping like seeing people out in short sleeve [...]
It’s Over!
Wheeee! Fall 2006 semester is officially behind me! My Trig final yesterday was supposed to be from 12:30 – 2:20. I finished at 5:00. Yes, over 4 hours on a Trig final. However, I think I did pretty well – I won’t get the A in the class that I [...]
Guess What Week it Is?
Care to guess what week it is? Finals week! I only have one exam, but it is in Trig, and while I was doing so well at the beginning of the semester, I started to slide somewhere around the time that my tutor (aka Mike) went to The Holland. So now I [...]

Hold All My Calls, I’m Blogging…
Oh goodness. The laughter. I think I have tears in my eyes. That is just fabulous!
Festival Update, Again…
The above mohair goat (aka angora goat, but that makes no sense since you get mohair fiber from them) was photographed when I visited Koenig Farms in the summer of 2005 during my trip to Kentucky. They were kind enough to share with us the goat to yarn experience, and I still have some [...]
Welcome Baby Emma!
I can’t believe I didn’t get online long enough on Sunday to post about this – Baby Emma has arrived! Hanna had her baby girl on Sunday morning! She is so beautiful – I can’t wait to see her in person! (You know I have great plans to photograph her. I [...]
Spotting the Handknits…
The amusing thing for me about Saturday was the parade of handknits that I saw. I spotted a lady wearing a nice lace shawl that I could tell was handknit. I asked her if she made it, and she said no – her daughter-in-law did. It was a nice conversation opener, and [...]
Too Good. Can’t Sleep.
The show yesterday went so well! It was just really great to get out there and to have other people see our work. The cold seemed to keep some people away, and some vendors told me that this month was quieter for them then it has been in the past. It was [...]
The Big Day!
Today is the big day! We have a *ton* of prints matted and in bags, and they look GREAT! (By a ton, I mean over 100 in each size, except the 11×14 prints. Only a few of those.) In just a few hours, we will be set up and selling images. [...]
