not kosher

Tonight I did the whole breakfast-for-dinner thing.

How could you not love this meal?  Real maple syrup?  Eggs?  BACON?!  In fact, I cooked the bacon first, so the eggs were bacon-flavored as well.  Delicious.
Speaking of eggs..

A bunch of the ducks in my apartment complex had babies recently!  This particular party was two moms and a ton [...]

like a cyclone

Today my handspun for the weekend was finally dry, and I got the chance to take pictures!

I really am in love with this one.  The colors of the two bunches of roving I bought come together beautifully.  It’s also really apparent how much my skills have improved since my first skein!  This one is way [...]

I FINISHED MY COWL AND I LOVE IT

I love the pattern, I love LOVE the yarn, and I also love my camera!  I made this picture my desktop, and it looks fantastic:

It’s actually [...]

First of all, happy birthday to my mom!  Hooray!
So I was going to tell you all about how I’m going to learn how to spin, and I was planning on showing off the pretty roving I got on Thursday:

I LEARNED HOW TO SPIN YESTERDAY!  I’m so freakin’ excited!  My drop spindle hasn’t come in the [...]

the sun is shining

Actually, it’s not.  In fact, it’s quite overcast today.  But as far as days go, today was pretty great.  After a not particularly fabulous day of work on Thursday, the long weekend did me good, and I am back in action!

fireworks

I hope that everyone had a great 4th.  I know I did!  Friends Renee and Stephanie came to visit for the weekend, and we had a really great time hanging out, shopping, seeing fireworks, and making penis jokes.  What can I say?  It’s like we’re 8.  The highlight of the weekend might very well have [...]
