Stress? What stress?

Yesterday morning at 4:30 a.m., we woke up to the sound of Katja barfing…on our new white chair! (Don’t even ask why we didn’t put a cover on it before then). At 8 a.m. we woke again, to find Katja limping across the bed, her little paw held delicately in the air. So I took [...]

Just Fiddling Around…

Inspired by this, I decided to knit a little “camera cozy” for my Olympus Stylus point-and-shoot, which I like to just toss in my purse sans case, to keep things light. The yarn is Neighborhood Fiber Co. fingering weight in Brightwood. Really gorgeous colors: chocolate, cream, duck’s egg blue, and vivid turquoise.

Inspiration is in the details…

How many details do you see? When I took this photo, I didn’t even notice the little checkerboard pattern beside the window. So when I downloaded the photos into my Mac, seeing it was a lovely surprise. Isn’t it funny, how we “see” or fail to “see” things, and simply imagine others?

These six-inch beauties startled me when I was walking to work last Thursday…I looked to my left and there they were, in all their glory. So the next day, I tossed my camera into my bag before leaving the house, so I could share their raspberry-ice deliciousness with you.

A Perfect Day

Need I say more?
Well, perhaps I do, considering my absence lately. You see, I sprained my knee…
I went to the ER with excrutiating pain and numbness(!) after a bad fall. X-rays and a sonogram ruled out broken bones and deep vein thrombosis (DVT, a dangerous blood clot condition that can happen to anyone after any [...]

Café de Printemps

Weekend plans: Find a table in the sun with my honey, order some cool drinks, and read/write/knit to our hearts’ content.
As for MDSW: I just can’t do it. We’ve been a bit tight, money-wise, lately, and so I decided that it would make more sense to spend that money on:
(1) Our May rent (!)(2) Beads [...]

Where’ve I been???

Hi, my cherished readers…I just wanted to say I haven’t been feeling very well, but I promise I’ll soon get back in the swim of things!
