TNNA Post #2: The Exhibit Hall, The Fashion Show and Saturday

If you missed my post yesterday, please take a look. I’m searching for a levenger or rollabind punch for cheaper than retail. The Exhibt Hall: HUGE. Ginormous even! There were even birds flying around in the rafters and swooping down at people while they tried to record podcasts. It was like 3 football fields stacked […]

Quick Question

Does anyone have a Levenger or Rollabind punch they don’t want and would be willing to sell? I’ve been stalking some on e-bay, but they seem to be going for the same amount as the new ones and that’s a little ridiculous to me. I would prefer the one that punches all the holes at […]

TNNA Post #1: Friday Mostly

On Friday morning (after flying in at almost midnight Utah time) I awoke early for a class with Annie Modesitt on Cables & Lace. I learned to cable without a cable needle (which is surprisingly easy, but totally hard to figure out on your own), and got a bunch of nifty ideas. Annie has a […]

Home

Hi all, I just wanted to let you all know I’m not dead.  I arrived home on Monday morning, but I haven’t blogged because I’ve been busy keeping my bed warm, wearing pajamas all day, and knitting like a maniac because I realized the Book Project 1 & 2 deadline was NOT the end of […]

I would really love to write more…..

….. but I’ve got limited time and a bunch of stuff to do in that time. I’m leaving tomorrow for TNNA in San Diego, so I’ll be away from e-mail most likely until Monday or Tuesday. I’ve got an auto-responder set up for e-mail, and hopefully I’ll have a bit more motivation when I return. […]

Smitten

As you may recall, I decided to buy a spinning wheel this year. I got an e-mail from my lovely friend Isela telling me that she was interested in getting rid of the wheel she got for her birthday in 2005. I guess she just never caught the bug 🙂 She offered to let me […]

Can anyone help Ellen?

I receive this e-mail this morning: Dear Mim, I am casting off the Seraphim now, just passed the centerpoint, and, uh-oh, no more yarn! Do you or any readers maybe have about 10 yards (just to make sure) of natural-color KnitPicks Bare Merino fingering (440yds/100g) maybe even in “dye”lot #66688 (or is that 88999?), and […]

Today's outfit…. mark the occasion!

Those of you who know me in person know that it’s a good day if I manage to brush my hair before leaving the house. But I’ve been trying to really make an effort to look professional at work and I’m learning to love my curves (since there are more of them than there were […]

An Ode to my beloved Rabbitch

In a hat tip to Rabbitch’s post today, here’s my favorite joke: There are 2 muffins in an oven. One muffin turns to the other and says “It’s hotter than hell in here!” And the other muffin shouts “HOLY SHIT!!! A talking muffin!” *gigglesnort* M

Gifties and a wee peek

Isela tagged me, so here is the New Years Meme: What is the first thing you did in the New Year… Kissed C long and hard and then danced. What is the first thing you ate in the New Year…. A sandwich? Not sure… it was probably consumed at 4 in the am, so I’m […]
