A Grand Return

I have returned from my trip to Texas. 98% of it was fabulous and 2% was not, I’ll blog about the not part (San Antonio) later this weekend. For now, only good things. It was fabulous to see a few of my best friends. I wish I could have seen more friends, but it was […]

Greetings from Austin

This will be my last post for the next week or so. Tomorrow, the Sweet Boy and I are headed south to Austin, TX. It’s been well over a year since my last visit and my heart is lonely for it. I did so much growing up there, learned so much about myself, and fell […]

Say "hello" to my little friends

It’s official, I have fallen in love with dying wool. Each time I’ve done it, I’ve learned another thing or two about mixing colors and I can’t wait to dye some more next week. The last batch I did had more muted tones (still bright but not as neon). I added some browns and such […]

Lunch and other things

This was lunch today. I had some leftover fried plantains and black bean salsa so I decided to attempt some nachos (similar to what I used to get at Bahama Breeze in Austin – they aren’t there anymore). The taste was okay, but they were a bit dry. I’ll have to try it again sometime […]

What weekend plans?

I’m afraid my weekend is shot. There is so much I wanted to do – spin some yarn, dye some yarn, go find some new jeans to take to Austin, but it looks like I’ll be at work for the majority of today. I’ll have some breaks here and there, but they won’t be long […]

Until the smoke clears…

I don’t think I’ve blogged about the topic of dreams before. It’s not something I think you would find interesting if I just woke up each morning and started writing about this dream I had where I was back at On The Border in Bedford, TX as a waitress but the menu had been changed […]

Purdy

Just had to show a picture of my roving all dressed up and ready to hit the town (i.e. – braided). I can’t wait to get to Sam’s, get more vinegar, and get back home to dye some more! Be sure to check out all of my new roving selections in my shop. Also, if […]

Lookie what the UPS man brought me

Okay – so he didn’t bring me hangers of dyed roving to put in my bathroom BUT he did bring me a couple of boxes… both of which contained the necessary supplies for the dyed roving hanging from the shower curtain rod. I’m already pleased, not thrilled, but pleased with the turn out. It’s better […]

Sad news folks. (from http://www.bnlmusic.com/) “A MESSAGE FROM BARENAKED LADIESBy mutual agreement, Steven Page will be parting company with the remaining members of Barenaked Ladies. Jim Creeggan, Kevin Hearn, Ed Robertson, and Tyler Stewart will continue recording and touring together as Barenaked Ladies. Steven Page will pursue solo projects including theatrical opportunities while the band […]

Good Things

A Twitter peep of mine (Xiane_org) mentioned something about talking about things that are good in life. I thought for a moment, albeit an extended moment, about the upcoming gardening season. I have been very excited about that lately. Today’s beautiful weather only made the anticipation that much worse (because I know, even though it […]
