Ramblings of a Geeky Witch
I haven’t meant to be so quiet in my blogging lately. Work has been the main culprit keeping me away. I’m getting home, completely exhausted, and the last thing I want to do is plug into a computer again (after hours of it at work). I also had some phone photo issues (now fixed) which […]
Ever regret taking a week of vacation, even though you absolutely needed it? That would be me. The volume of work that was dumped on my desk during my absence in the first week of March has kept me scrambling all month. Any stress release that was gained on vacation, gone and re-replaced with even […]
So… this month flew by. February was to be “Fangirl February,” where we stitched on our favorite designers. I suppose in a way, I did do this with my Wentzler and Ink Circles stitching, although I feel like I didn’t quite do what I wanted to. Yet I really did. Meh, I’m too hard on […]
For some reason, life has been absolutely non-stop since about mid-November. I’m thankful I haven’t had any five-day work weeks since Christmas week because honestly, I desperately need the longer weekends right now purely for recovery. This week was no different in the insanity, although it took a different twist. Erich’s job was transferred to […]
Thanks to a long delay on Amtrak last week, I made a good amount of progress on my oldest UFO – Cats on a Staircase. Everything in blue and the beginning of that cat tail with the hanging thread was completed this month. It’s probably my largest block of solid progress on the piece in, well, years. […]
First off – Belinda of Blue Ribbon Designs, who taught my class at Stitcher’s Hideaway a few weeks back, has a gorgeous stitchy giveaway happening on her blog. Absolutely beautiful little sewing companions. So hurry over there and enter to win one! It’s been a wild couple of weeks – lots of get-togethers for birthdays, stitching, […]
Can you believe it’s November already? I’m honestly trying to figure out where the hell this year has gone. I swear autumn lasted like two days. Yes, I know it’s technically still autumn, but once that first killing frost hits and the remaining leaves on our trees fall in one big clump to the grass, […]
I’ll warn in advance… this is going be a long entry with lots of pictures. 🙂 The quick-quick version? I had an absolute blast. Good company, great class, fun shopping, lots of stitching. It was exactly what I wanted (and needed)! I went to Mystic as part of group two. The demand had been large […]
It’s been a wild few weeks around here. Mostly good, I think. Although the impending holiday craziness is already starting to creep in, and that has me worried. The really really good news: Both Erich and Matt are working. Erich has found an IT job with a metro-Boston hospital, and so far is enjoying it. He […]
Honesty, the b.s. from Globat’s moves to new servers just finally pushed me into fixing things. I’ve wanted to go to WordPress for a while because of the flexibility, but had dreaded transferring my entries over. Turns out, I didn’t need to worry – there was a very easy blogger to WP importer. I do […]
