My ancient machine and current project. (See post below for explaination!) 

...a day late. Oh well. Deal with it.Well, this is what I've been doing with my time. First of all, I've been--you guessed it--knitting. As I mentioned in my previous post, I'm knitting an anthropologie-inspired capelet designed by Julsey723 on Craftster.org. Mine is definitely not as cute as hers. It's a start, though. Depending on … Continue reading The Post I Promised…

I've been a little busy the last few days, so I haven't had the time to post. I'll definitely give a nice long entry tomorrow. For now, I thought I'd let you guys know what I'm working on.

So, I've been knitting:I got the idea for this from Craftster. There were a few other crocheted and knitted Yoda's, that I just had to make one for myself.

I just had to share. Crazy Aunt Purl posted her hor-o-scopes and mine was so dead on that I laughed and laughed, then I printed it out b/c I'm going to tape it to my locker at work. That should clear things up with those jerks who think I'm a bitch. (Okay, I am.) Check … Continue reading Two posts in one day? Wow, you guys are lucky!

I've been doing a little...baking. I wanted to try my hand at bread, and I was pleasantly pleased with the results! Now, in the picture they look a little burnt, but they're not. (My counter also looks a little yellow, when it is supposed to be white.) It's my camera. My crappy, broken camera. (And … Continue reading Bread, Glorious Bread!

Okay, yesterday was Halloween and I promised pictures. I was too pooped last night to post them, so here they are now! Ta-da!
