It feels like Christmas
This has been the week for packages. Look what came today:
This is from my SP9 pal, and I gotta tell ya, she’s simply brilliant. Forgive the bad lighting (which won’t get any better until Spring), and the ugly cushions, but you simply have to see this. Clockwise, there’s a Clover counter I’ve had on my […]

In yesterday’s mail
. . . Mittens! Kelly was my swap pal, and she did a great job on these despite being ill. The mittens are soft and cozy, fit *perfectly,* are the perfect color to go with all my winter coats, and I soooo want to know what yarn the body of the mittens […]

Keep the faith . . .

The . . . er, Marvels of technology
DH just showed me this, and I have to take two minutes from commenting on essays to share it.
Norway’s Kristiansand county (kommune) has a really nifty web page. Seriously. It’s clean, well organized (for the most part), and easy to access. They’ve also added an ultra-cool feature: a voice-over. All you have to do is […]

I’m buried . . .
and am slowly digging myself out of a self-imposed hole. When I say “slowly,” I do mean just that. Final surfacing won’t happen for another week or ten days.

One […]
