Another example of Miss Hewson & I being absolutely slack correspondents. Well on this blog at least. But we are still alive, and still plodding along. Mid-2011 I returned to Uni, no not to finish my poor languishing PhD, but to start a Master of Information Services in Archives & Records. And I will admit, so far I [...] Are like New Years Day. You make resolutions that you never keep; eat too much, drink to much and tell yourself that you’ll be good from tomorrow; and you beat yourself up over all the stuff you promised you would do the previous year but never did. This year however it feels a little worse. Tomorrow I [...] Go pledge for a great cause! Ms Kylie Gusset, dyer of ms.gusset yarns and fibres wants us all to support the local yarn industry. In this case yummy Tasmanian bred cormo. With only a couple days left and $5000 to go it could use your support and in return you’ll get some delish yarn or fibre [...] This might be shocking, but it needs to be said: I like the Beekeeper’s Quilt. I saw it and liked it and bought it and started it. It will be a warm, squishy, comforting blanket. It has some vintage whimsy, reminiscent of the old hexagon quilts but without all the cutting. It’s a good way to [...] Yes, it was that time of the year again when dozens of knitters in the celebration of our hobby. The lovely Margot took over the reins this year after Sally was distracted by life and other disasters, and boy did she organise a cracker! She organised a lovely venue, thousands of dollars worth of prize donations [...] And a terrible habit of forgetting to post. But I am alive. Honest. And so is Miss Hewson, although I am sure she does not feel as such at times. The lovely lass is so bogged down in learning to be a Librarian (Now make sure you read that in a true Evie Carnahan voice). I [...] One of the worst things about depression, no matter how mild, is that it removes the enjoyment and pleasure from even those things that would usually bring you happiness. For me, this often results in a kind of flightiness. I want to craft and create and begin numerous projects but when I begin to feel the [...] Well, when last you heard from me I had just lost my job and promised faithfully to blog more. The latter I am afraid has not yet come to pass. You see just after I posted that message we received notice from out landlord that although he likes us very much and we had been fabulous tenants, he [...] Miss Muffett has threatened me with sharp pointy things if I don’t blog this year’s pretties, so I’d better do it! The last few days as I’ve been looking back over what I’ve made this year I discovered that I knit a lot. I worked out I’d knitted about 9km of yarn this year, which is [...] A New Year, a New Beginning or so the tradition goes. I for one am sincerely hoping that is true. 2010 was not in the end all I had hoped. Retrospectively: I quit my job, quit my PhD, gained a fun job, started own business doing research, became really busy, had to put research on hold, barely [...] |
