In the under-wood and the over-wood there is murmur and trill this day, For every bird is in lyric mood, And the wind will have its way. ~ Clinton Scollard Happy May Day, dear followers. I know it's been awhile. I'll update you on that in a later post. May 1 is a historic date…Read more May Day
Hot Cross Buns & Urban Hiking
Save the Earth, it's our only source of chocolate! This Spring, the British Hubby and I vowed to hike more. Last weekend, we did a little urban hiking in downtown Seattle. We went to a performance of Haydn's Creation with the Seattle symphony. You've probably heard parts of this master piece. This is the first…Read more Hot Cross Buns & Urban Hiking
Malabrigo March Progress
The greater danger for most of us isn't that our aim is too high and we'll miss it, but that it is too low and we won't reach it. ~ Michelangelo It's the start of another work week. I meant to post over the weekend, dear followers, but it was so amazing outside that I…Read more Malabrigo March Progress
Reading Challenge: Book 4
It's better to be hated for what you are than loved for what you are not. ~ Autumn Leaves by Andre Gide Oh my dear followers, with the snowapocalypse, Malabrigo March and then the stomach bug I completely missed a book I finished in early March. It was overdue at the library so I had…Read more Reading Challenge: Book 4
April Wip Update
Be stronger than your excuses. It's Monday again. I had my doubts last week if I would successfully complete two wips. Recovery from the stomach bug was more uphill than I anticipated. The British Hubby is back to 100%. I'm dealing with some lingering energy issues. The kitties have enjoyed the extra naps and snuggles.…Read more April Wip Update
National Pet Day
There are no ordinary cats. ~ Colette Thursday was national pet day in the States. I suspect everyday is national pet day at our house. The British Hubby and I were home on Wednesday and Thursday with a stomach bug. When we weren't in the bathroom, that meant extra snuggles for Ernie and Burt. Ernie…Read more National Pet Day
Wip Annihilation April
There are only two options: make progress or make excuses. Monday again. That means it's my weekly Malabrigo March check in. There shouldn't be any new projects to report and there certainly aren't any new Malabrigo March projects. (I know, I know. I'm never going to finish my wips if I keep casting on.) It's…Read more Wip Annihilation April
The Heart of Godzilla
Ignorance, the root and stem of all evil. This Friday brought joy and sadness. Friday night is Godzilla movie night. Shin Godzilla is our very last Godzilla movie. There are some other fringe movies and anime which as Godzilla fans we will watch, but this is our last proper movie until Godzilla: King of the…Read more The Heart of Godzilla
Taking the Plunge
Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere. ~ Albert Einstein This week the blog took a big leap. It now has it's own domain name! Check out the brand new skeinherder.com. Okay, I know what you're thinking. Yes, it looks exactly like the old page, but in the magical…Read more Taking the Plunge
Conspiracy Thursday: April Fools Day
A good conspiracy is unprovable. I mean, if you can prove it, it means they screwed up something along the line. ~ Mel Gibson Monday was April 1. My entire life, I've known that date as April Fools Day. It's not a national holiday in any country. Yet, people know about it and celebrate it.…Read more Conspiracy Thursday: April Fools Day
