For a Nominal Fee

-
Of all the crazy wonderful things I find on etsy.com that absolutely needed a to mention to you, Dear Reader, I have been remiss in passing along some of the most entertaining material ever which would the the marketing prose of the puppetmaker StaceyRebecca. She will provide us with legs and finger tubes for a nominal fee and I find that strangely soothing. StaceyRebecca is the genius who invented "A fistful of love: finger puppet of the month club". And how wicked cool is that.

Currently nursing a crush on Broadway Icon by the Ounce Kristen Chenoweth . And if you haven't seen Pushing Daisies you might be missing something. Like Olive Snook jumping on her bed in triumph or bursting into song. I'd watch it for the art direction alone, but the rest of it is pretty good too.

"No matter how often you floss, the hygienist is never satisfied?" Good heavens, what a euphemism!

Dear person of much hosiery! Shame on me for not commenting (again) much sooner. Not only can you not fix the family but just forgiving them for being themselves so you don't have to feel responsible is hard enuff! Therapy...sometimes it's so worthwhile! Spinning is also good. We're off to India next week. Don't wanna go again when all is said and done but don't want the husband and his heart condition out of my sight. So check de blog for the blow by blow and I'll keep checking yours. Life is SUCH a slog, ain't it? If it weren't for pretty colors and the love of ones spouse/partner what would one do? Definitely don't answer that!

Love,

Linda "K"

8,000 handknit free scarves needed for SuperBowl Volunteers. Horrors. I've just sent an unnecessary post card to these people. " You must be kidding. I'll put this in my knitting queue... right behind every premature infant, the low income families in need, the homeless (domestic and international), the chemo patients and... every child for the next twenty years in the Oakland and San Francisco Childrens' Hospitals. In a word: No. " The Indianapolis and NFL wants my labor and yarn? Gah...

I got mugged in a nicer part of town than my own after knitting group. I am not hurt (other than re-twisting an ankle trying to chase the bum down. Do not ever ever run in clogs. Should not have been carrying a 50 pound knitting bag either. Or I should have handed that one over instead.) but am cashless cardless keyless bus/BARTpassless librarycardless phoneless id-less and really really pissed off. Yelling really loudly helped at the time. I had a dozen nice people around me and calling the very nice cops and getting water and handing me dogs to cuddle. They'll never catch the bastard and I'm aware of that. It's just the way it is. Like most everybody else I live paycheck to paycheck and at the end of the month when I am really paying attention to the last trickle I have to use, I get tense. Now some asshat has relieved me of that trickle and the last photo id that doesn't make me look like a complete aging old hag. And my cute new phone, just when I got the layout r...

I went round and round on a topic last Saturday with someone: sexual preferences: sources, outcomes, society. Tiresomely 'round and 'round the assumption mulberry bush. Then there was a general discussion of prey . Why are the abused mostly women and children? Because, on the whole, they are smaller and thought to be easier to intimidate. Ask any woman. Ask anyone who has been a child what intimidation is. Why bother feigning shock? The whole discussion is bothering me enough to keep me up for a couple of nights. The spinning is going well, for the most part. I've been working on a couple "Orphan" skeins using bits and pieces from dyers (most pieces only a couple grams in some wild colorways) and then Navajo plying them all together. It's quite the experiment. In the end the studio will be less cluttered, I will have more bobbins/less wool and the cat will have to find another soft place to sleep. At the moment the most recent prepared wool is a mystery: it...
