Oil Change Nightmare

It Was a Slow Week
Not much to report this week. I started working on some knit Christmas stockings for Marcus and me. I decided last year that I can no longer use my old ones. I made matching quilted/cross-stitch stoc…

Wonkiness

Tube Crochet Bead Tutorial
I keep seeing these neat beaded bracelets on Etsy. At $40 or so, I couldn’t justify getting one. I was sure they were time intensive and worth every penny the sellers were asking, I just canR…

Third Strike LYS

Get Out of My Dreams, Work!
I don't know what's going on with my subconscious lately. The last two nights I've been having really bad dreams involving work. Hello, these are my days off. Don't think about this stuff. They are th…

I Miss Blogging
I've been a very bad blogger. I don't know why I haven't been able to make myself write here. I've had a new post window open many times. I know my stand to not be negative here anymore is one reason…

She-Knits Mystery Bag Knit-A-Long
Ever since I broke my pinkie at work back on April 8th, I’ve really lost my knitting mojo. Any crafting, even, has been awkward and frustrating. I’ve had the splint off for a few weeks, bu…

Work Stuff
I've been trying not to write about work stuff on here anymore. Mostly because it's boring, crappy news. SSDD. I need to write about this, though, because it is really bugging me. With the "economic…

What Brings Me Out of a Blogging Funk
I know, I've been absent of late. I've been around. Mostly on Facebook, Twitter and Ravelry. I'll be honest — I lost my blogging mojo. Even the big things that happened over the last six months…
