Well hello there March 5, 2008

Hard to believe that I haven’t had anything to say in such a long time, huh? Well, I was busy with a visit from my hometown friends!

We went to Alcatraz

Don’t let this photo fool you - I really like it there

Did you know that some of the prisoners crocheted? Something tells me they weren’t really using pink yarn…

We tasted wine

Ancient vines at Valley of the Moon Winery

And we went to Daiso AND Japantown - see why we get along? I had to make a pit stop and by the time I made it into Kinokuniya, Amanda had already found the craft books. The next two hours are a blur. Despite the complete variety of books, I inadvertently chose only crochet books:


Motif crochet winter accessories


Tiny crochet accessories


Magic Scrubbers Part 8

Title translations are from some helpful Ravelers. The books have served as the focus of my crafting since I got them. Stay tuned for finished projects!

Almost home June 20, 2007

I am not quite done with my vacation in Alaska. It seems I overestimated Alaska’s cooperation with roaming cell phone users from the “lower 48.” I can’t send pictures via my phone. But I posted a few on flickr for the curious.


When you see me, beware because I have acquired many new and dangerous skills.

Airport booze June 12, 2007

Flickr posted most of this for me, isn’t that sweet?

My vacation starts now. Tragically, it is only a week long. I could tell you what I am going to do, but instead I will shock you with pictures instead.

I plan to try out lots of geeky gadgets on this trip. If it works, you can see what I am up to on my Vacation Page
.

I just got distracted by a man sporting a cowboy hat, fantastic moustache, and boots holding a game of “Texas hold ‘em.” I could hang out at the airport all day.
