Cats: Clarence was adopted. Edgar and Alfie are still looking for homes. The new kittens are getting bigger, and are playing with the dog and the other cats. Pics to follow soon. Nigel had roundworms. Ick. Ickickick. All better now after medicine, but the episode confirmed. . . Bifocals: I need a different prescription. Distance [...]
More to come later. Last week, the server burped, and a post was lost, and hubby knew that more problems were to come while servers were being switched. So. . .I didn’t bother posting here. By the time things were fixed, it was time for more Marching Band stuff. Bingo on Monday night (in costume). [...]
Umm. . .umm. . . I’ve been in a more receptive than productive mode, actually. I cruise around the web, see all kinds of things I would comment upon. . .if everyone else on earth hadn’t done it all ready. There’s not much point in simply adding another voice to the cacaphony, so I just [...]
I found a few tutorials for polymer clay on the web, and had to try them out right away. The fun part is done – the mixing, the shaping, seeing how the pieces come out of the oven. Today was the not-fun part. Sanding, buffing, and varnishing. I know that practice will make perfect, but [...]
Well, except for five loads of laundry and unloading, loading and running the dishwasher, putting the papers in recycling, and making dinner, what I’ve done today is organize beads. It wasn’t too bad until I got to the tray where the pinkish-orange seed beads got mixed with the dark pink and light pink seed beads. [...]

I found my beading supplies (after unpacking almost all the fabric, it was a box hidden under some fabric I’d unpacked and dumped. *sigh*) and decided to try re-organizing. I’d put most of the beads in a hardware chest – one of those things with the sliding plastic drawers, [...]
Oh, man, it’s killing me to get all these e-mails with classes and seminars and bead marketplace and new techniques. . .it’s the kind of thing I’d gladly drive to, even stay at a hotel for a couple of nights for. But, but, but. . .it’s in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and runs for a full week. [...]
All night last night, it was going a mile a minute. I have so many ideas. Problem is actually doing something about them when I’m awake, because I’ve been up all night thinking and am too sleep deprived to actually feel like doing anything then. I have an idea for a sewing video, now that [...]
The Adventures of Captain Throwup A little story written and drawn by Audrey, featuring the vocal talents of the family… Enjoy!
OK, this would look a lot better on a skinny body, but I’m working on that right now. Don’t care. This was really fun. The Bog Coat was featured in Threads #87, I picked up the Revisions pattern just for some fun ideas. The pants are Lois Ericson’s “My Favorite Pants”. I made them a [...]
