Is the show "Conviction" good? It looks like it is.
I've been searching and searching lately, for a Chandler & Price Pilot letterpress. I've been bitten by the bug, my friends. I need one and I can't find one. I can find inferior presses and bulkier, more expensive presses, but not what I'm looking for.
I was talking to Jon today about how frustrated I am that I am not doing what I want to do. About how little gratification there is in my job, even when I design something really neat. It's not about money for me, it's about the process and the finished product. I feel like I have so many ideas that just get shoved back down inside me, and I am always putting things off for a better time. I guess that's why I'm so gung ho on finding and purchasing one of these antique presses. I want to get started. :(
Jenny wants to reserve a table at some sort of fundraiser thing in Sparta in April and I guess I want to too, but I don't have ANYTHING to sell. I have supplies to make things and no time to make them.
I am proud of myself for all the planting I have gotten done in the last week. I planted 3 trays/72 plants each of perennials and 2 trays/32 annuals. Devan and I are going to be planting her little kid greenhouse seeds this weekend, and I've got to go out in the yard and dig up some grass around the fence, so that I can put some of my flowers there. I've already got quite a few little sprouts coming out of my soil. It's kind of scary... what if they're mutant plants and I end up buried under hundreds of giant perennials?? At least the lavender will cover the scent of my rotting corpse. (nice)
I seriously have nothing to say right now, and a terrible sore throat and itchy eyes (it's that time of year, folks!! I'm going to go read a book and then get my allergy ridden ass to bed.
Things are sucky lately, lots of drama. and I've got the worst toothache ever.
I had to go to court today, over a summons I got when I was pulled over last month. It was ok though, it got dismissed because the judge knew better than to mess with this bitch. Or because I had proof. Whichever.
He reminded me of that old wobbly guy in Mary Poppins who died laughing or whatever. I can't remember because it's been so long since I saw that movie.
I had to present a project to my BOSS BOSS tonight and I was nervous. It went well though. We all like it and I feel good about it.
I've been knitting when I get a spare minute, either Devan's pinafore, or Jon's jacket -- but Jon keeps messing with my head, so I keep putting his jacket away. It will never be done before our anniversary (April 4)...if we stay together that long!
Did you know that it's girlscout cookie season? I really like their new Cafe Cookies. They're kinda mellow and spicy. Good with french vanilla tea...
Tomorrow is Jenny's photography show over on Spring Street, and Saturday is BULLRIDING AT THE JUNCTION. YAYYY! I'm still pretty sure I'm not riding that thing, but I don't mind having a laugh watching everyone else fall off. or watching girls ride together to try to be sexy or something.
Well I guess that's it. Probably won't update this for awhile. Both of my computers are dead. :(

I am unable to sleep, so I took time to make the blog archives work. of course, images that were on old yahoo server do not work anymore (read: anything before April 2005) so you'll have to use your imagination. Check the sidebar for a link if you're interested.

There. I finally did it. Now go buy me stuff:)
.......................
(Nov 7)Take note of the changes along the right sidebar. I've been reading blogs, and that, of course, means joining knitalongs!
However my next task (which will be my next announcement)
is to create a holiday wishlist, as there have been several people asking for one.

(Aug 6) Hi guys, How cute is this: I have a new little niece!! Bryan and Mandie's little girl was born last Sunday (I think)
and in the spirit of utter ridiculousness, I give you, Madelyn dancing.

23) Sup dudes? I was kinda bored last night, so I made a picture.
again. only tell me if you like it. I have a fragile ego.
.......................
(May
14) Going through a wave of depression. Don't feel like
doing anything except artwork. Here are a couple
pictures I made. You may have seen them, since they're
meant for my websites. If you've seen them as background
images, excuse the tiling, I'm fixing it when I feel
like it.
if you like them, let me know. if you don't, keep it to
yourself.

(April 28) Ok... I've been on hiatus. Bear with me and
my broken links and pictures while I move all my junk
around.
Life is good and I'm glad my site is working again.
.......................
(Jan 11) Due to real life
pals/family complaining about how little real life
content there is in this journal, I'm going to make a
real effort to include that stuff, and not just knitting
stuff. I hope this pleases you guys.

(Jan 10) Today is the
anniversary of my Grampa's death. We still miss you so
much.

(Jan 4) Congratulations
Michael & Tiffany!!
Welcome to the family,
Tif!

(Dec 30) Just two quick
notes today:
1. We've got another
completed Casey's Coat.
click to see Vito!
2. I'll be out of town
for about 3 weeks. My brother, Mike, is getting married!
After that I'm going to be house sitting for my mom
while she is out of town. This will not have an affect
on you or my blogging, I just felt like sharing.
.......................
(Dec 2) My brother has
been making me some pretty cool knitting charts. I think
they're mighty awesome and I'm trying to figure out a
project I can use them for. They're pdf files, except
the first one (which is actually not his design, it's
the work of someone on myspace.com) so go ahead and have
at them. If he makes many more charts, I'll disable the
links and offer the chart patterns for a small fee via
paypal, because, after all, it is his art work and he
deserves compensation!

(Nov 28)My little sister is a knittin' fool. We shopped
all over for some good needles for her. She's been using
these kids plastic-y needles that I find to be really
uncomfortable and annoying. We tried some aluminum
needles but they were too slick and long. We finally
settled on some Clover Bamboo needles and from what I
have heard, she likes them the best. She's working on a
lavender scarf. I'll have my mom take a pic so I can
post it here.

(Nov 28) I'm back! Christmas Knitting and yarn stash
enhancement is in full effect in this house. There's a
new(?) Knitting/Fabric store in the town my mom lives
in. It's called Sew Krazy. image is property of sew-krazy.com
They are currently squeezed in a tiny location just
chock full of amazing stuff! They have a whole shelf of
Kaffe Fasset fabrics, which you know I loved. They
had lots of yarn by Rowan and Brown Sheep. They didn't
have any Debbie Bliss. The shop is working on expanding
in a new location, equipped with a beautiful fireplace
(My mom and I peeked through a hole in the door) and
it's HUGE. This place was great and there's a cafe
called Muddy Waters next door. So this place will be
perfect to sit down, relax, drink coffee, and knit by
the fireplace when I go out to visit for 3 weeks in
January. The building is also really beautiful and
contains many other interesting shops. Check it out if
you're ever nearby.

(Nov 18)Last year for Christmas, Mr. Handsome gave me an
EZ Stir. If you haven't got a clue what an easy-stir
is, (consider yourself lucky) it's a device that
attaches to your pots and pans and stirs your sauces for
you! Ingenious! I have still not taken the EZ Stir out
of its package. This year, I thought I'd make it easy on
my husband and anyone else who wishes to shower me with
gifts.
