Oops, I fell off the blogging grid completely this weekend. I didn’t even write in my paper journal, so I can’t claim that. Ah well, it was the weekend, we had visitors, I was exhausted, it’s all good. Yesterday afternoon K gave me a free pass to get out on my own for a little… Continue reading H is for Hookey

C is for Challenged (Sartorially)
I stopped off at Dunkin’ Donuts on the way home today, after dropping A off at pre-school. As a stay-at-home mum with rambunctious boys, I don’t get much opportunity for people watching these days, unless the people are other mums and their kids. So waiting for my bagel to be toasted gave me a few… Continue reading C is for Challenged (Sartorially)

Wedding cake Originally uploaded by jwordsmith Happy Anniversary to us. Well, we made it through Year 13…and I can still remember how good that cake tasted…
I is for (Too Much) Introspection
Update: Wow. Blaspheme against The mighty Who, and watch the comments grow! So, I was watching the Doctor Who Confidential, about the Pompeii episode. The producers and crew were going on about how hard this episode was to film, and how gorgeous it looked (which it did), and how pleased they were with how it… Continue reading I is for (Too Much) Introspection
D is for Designer
Hey! I got myself set up at Ravelry as a designer. So far I’ve only uploaded my Cyber Chart (the chart for my cyberman head, that graces G’s sweater), but I have a sock pattern and another, fairisley Doctor Who chart to go up, oh and a hat pattern. I smell another project coming on… Continue reading D is for Designer

Stash!
I couldn’t help myself: I bought one of those Webs Grab Bags. It arrived today. I have to admit that, for the money, it looks like a paltry collection. It is mostly DK, fingering or light worsted, and in smallish skiens (mostly under 100 yds) so it doesn’t take up much space. But it’s mine.… Continue reading Stash!
F is for Free
For Brits, the opening chords of the song “I Wish I Knew (How It Would Feel To Be Free)” mean only one thing: film reviews. Barry Norman used it as his theme tune for the series that started as Film ’72 and is now called Film ’08, I assume, and hosted by Jonathon Ross. The… Continue reading F is for Free
A is for Agriculture (local, sustainable)
My Weight-Watchers inpired rediscovery of delicious fresh foods has led me down the (garden?) path of looking into Community Supported Agriculture. This is where you buy shares in a farm’s crop for that year and they, in turn provide you with a box full of fresh goodness every week (assuming the creeks don’t rise, and… Continue reading A is for Agriculture (local, sustainable)
Note To the Writing Mother: Make Notes
Having trouble blogging today because the ideas are finding it hard to sprout and grow under the sonic mulch of my five year old’s prattling. He’s lovely, and it’s cute, but I can’t even think of what my ideas for today’s blog were. I know there was something I thought of yesterday, I have a… Continue reading Note To the Writing Mother: Make Notes
