I’m bad about the Dogs on Thursday posts. I forget or forget to take pictures of the boy. He’s too large to “catch” in a cute pose. He’s his cutest when he’s leaning on you trying to snuggle under your arms, but I’m having trouble photographing that particular pose. It’s usually [...]

Random Wednesday, I think

It’s Wednesday. Mid-week. We’ve made it this far, we can make it the rest of the way. This morning, Joan Jett is ringing in my ears. Has everyone heard Britney Spears version of this classic? Poor dear. It’s so sad when a classic is butchered. It’s a [...]
Classic

Today, I am wandering into classical music territory. No knitting or spinning to report. Yesterday was a busy day, and I’m still pouting about not having time to do either. So, I’m gonna share my all time favorite piece of classical music. It’s Widor’s Toccata. I love this. I [...]
Sometimes

The weekend was lovely. I hope yours was, too. I spent a bit of time with a new project. I’m having difficulty with socks. I’m almost certain this has to do with signing up for Summer of Socks ‘08. I was fine until I started a pair of summer socks. [...]
Colour My World-FRIDAY VERSION!!!!!!
Posted in soundtrack, tagged soundtrack on July 11, 2008 | 3 Comments »
Today, I am combining the PSA that IT IS FRIDAY!! with my soundtrack song of the day. Witty and creative. All rolled into one bundle of fun. I don’t care for the verse, but the refrain I love. It’s Petula Clark’s “Colour My World”. The way you can tell [...]

Good morning! It’s Thursday and it’s lovely and it’s time once again to give you the minute update of my knitting and spinning. I am still spinning 10 +/- daily and loving it. If you spin and it makes you happy, this is the way to go. And, I’m actually able [...]
Short row toes 7, Cindy 0

I tried Cookie’s short rows tutorial. And, then, I tried Cookie’s short rows tutorial. I tried 5 more times before declaring defeat. I’m overanalyzing or overreading or something! It sure isn’t the tutorial. It’s me. So, since I was completely defeated (for the time being), I just started a [...]
A day off means something different these days

As a homeowner on a budget, my vacation days are filled with projects and jobs. I am not unusual. I am slow. I am not a handy person by nature. It takes me a great deal of time to figure things out just to do the little project. Yesterday, it [...]
I don’t wanna work,

I just want to bang on the drums all day. I love Todd Rundgren. I saw him in concert in the late 80’s. He put on a great show and ended it with “Never Never Land” from the Disney movie, Peter Pan. I love that song and he did it with [...]
Happy Independence Day!

I will not wax poetic about my country today. I love my people. We are a way cool group (for the most part because as we know there are assholes in almost every group). No. Today, I’m declaring my independence from unrealistic expectations. I no longer will accept the unrealistic [...]
