    Another update on The Stash

    Another update on The Stash

    Because you really, really want to know, and who am I to disappoint your curiosity?
    This is the before:

    Isn’t it so purdy?!?!
    And here’s The Stash, v2.06. Some notable progress include using up most of my recycled sari silk on Christmas stockings, and using up all the Pearl Malabrigo on the wrap I showed you previously. Getting [...]

    More on my stash

    More on my stash

    I was thinking that I’d post an update to my stash once every three months. That way, the whole wide Intarwrrrrld would get to see progress on my New Year’s Revolution.
    But then I got to thinking how 3 months is a long time. I mean, it’s a really, really long time. And I have never been [...]

    A confession

    A confession

    I have tried to tell myself that I don’t have a stash. I even convinced myself, at least for a while. I mean, most of this yarn started out as an intended project. And then? Then I stored the yarn in one of three four drawers, so I never thought it was so much as [...]

    More on the yarn diet fail

    More on the yarn diet fail

    Man oh man oh Molly Sue, I am not even kidding: I’m like a fat girl newly released from starvation fat camp, I’m so serious. I went home from work thinking about that malabrigo, and I came to work thinking about that malabrigo. And I’ve been unwinding and rewinding the hank (you know how it’s all twisted into [...]

    Yarn diet fail

    Yarn diet fail

    I’ve been on a yarn diet for almost a year; I told myself I was developing stash, and I didn’t want stash. I have a tiny condo, I have no room for stash. And let’s face it: When you swear off acrylic and go for the good shit (oh merino silk blend, how I adore you!), your friendly neighborhood [...]

    My Hanukkah Bush

    My Hanukkah Bush

    Sorry for the light posting lately, I’ve been swamped with holiday preparations. Like this:

    This is my Hanukkah Bush. I bought the tree from Borders during the after-after-after-please-buy-this-crap-95% off sale, which means they basically paid me to buy this green tinsel tree. I brought it into work, to cheer my office up doncha know, and decorated [...]

    September ICLW?

    September ICLW?

    WTF? Seriously? It’s already time for September ICLW sign-up? Um, whatever happened to the AUGUST ICLW?
    The answer, my friends: I didn’t participate. And I won’t be participating in the September one, either.
    Don’t get me wrong, I think ICLW is just about the rockinest, coolest thing on the intarwebs, I swear. And I enjoy it, really I [...]

    GIVEAWAY: 2 $50 Gift Certificates to Auntie’s Beads.com

    Bali beads. Swarovski crystal. Freshwater pearls. These are just a few of my favorite things! Ok, ok, I’ll be a little more honest: These are just a few of the things that make my eyes glaze over and my backbone dissolve and leave me writhing on the floor in a pool of my own desperate [...]
