Spinning right round

Posted by: J on: February 28, 2009

I’m at Sheep in the City this weekend. It’s a good weekend for any sort of fiber related activity up here in Wisconsin since it’s cold and snowy outside. I’ll have to venture out at some point to get some lunch, but most of today (Saturday) will be spent indoors learning some new [...]

I will not be defeated!

Posted by: J on: February 25, 2009

I’ve been fighting a cold this week. I think the contagious part got out of the way Friday and Saturday, but since then I’ve become all mucousy sounding. I can live with that. The worst part of being sick is the energy drain. About all I’ve been able to manage this [...]

Three dog afternoon

Posted by: J on: February 14, 2009

I finally made it to KS this morning. The 2-4 inches of snow that was predicted for central IA ended up being a snow storm warning. Um…whoops! If I had know the weather conditions were going to be that bad, I wouldn’t have attempted the trip. But, I’m safe and the [...]

Do you have a secret?

Posted by: J on: February 12, 2009

Last night, I drove down to WIU to hear Frank Warren speak. He is the creator of Post Secret. I don’t really know how to describe it. The secrets that he shared with the audience really made it a compelling talk. I also had to admire the courage of the college students [...]

A meh sort of day

Posted by: J on: February 10, 2009

The weather outside is amazing today. Hopefully I’ll have a chance to get outside to enjoy it before it gets cold again tomorrow. It’s a reminder of what we have to look forward to when spring really arrives to stay.
DH is at Ft. Campbell this week. I guess the band there is deployed, [...]

I cried buckets!

Posted by: J on: January 24, 2009

Well maybe it wasn’t buckets, but Marley and Me was such a sweet movie that I couldn’t help shed a few tears…especially towards the end. I also laughed a lot because some of it was so familiar. Like the part with the drywall eating. We had a dog who did that once!
I [...]

I’m a kitty cat

Posted by: J on: January 18, 2009

I had this song running through my head today. The best way to get rid of an earworm is to share it with someone else. DH has already been subjected. But it’s so cute, I had to share with my LR’s. (loyal readers

It’s been a beautiful day here. [...]

Turning cartwheels

Posted by: J on: January 15, 2009

There are a couple of things I’m excited about and looking forward to.
The first is just a day (not even that) away. Tomorrow afternoon I travel to Kansas to see DH and the dogs. It’s been a couple of weeks since seeing DH, but the dogs I’ve not seen since moving to IL. [...]

It’s a hanging

Posted by: J on: January 11, 2009

I’m really enjoying knitting these mitered hanging towels. So far I’ve completed two. The cotton yarn is absorbent and nice to knit with. I like my knitted cotton bathmat and am sure I’ll enjoy using this hanging towel. I have a bit of finishing yet to do, like weaving in ends [...]

Blustery, wintry day

Posted by: J on: December 21, 2008

It was a very cold day on the first day of winter. Temperatures were below zero and the wind chill dropped it even further. Despite the winter chill, I had to run some errands and do laundry. I pulled out my winter gear and bundled up. This kind of day makes [...]
