CHEEEEEZE!!!


HA! Here’s a new one for this blog… Pictures now, words later (probably).

O made bread. I made bread. These two are her loaves. Mine were ugly (but tasty). We ate an embarrassing amount of bread today.

Two pics of O making butter. It’s really hard to shake the jar when you’re laughing. Homemade butter is yummy, though. Three an a half loaves worth worth of yummy, apparently. I feel no shame.

Then we made goat cheese.

We also made mozzarella, but it was yummy, and there are no pictures to show for it.

Nihon Vogue sweater number… 5? I think? More pics of it in the gallery - click on the picture to go see the rest.

Pictures, but not of my knitting…


O got to go north to Lower Canadia with me a couple weeks back, and got to spend some quality time with Satan’s Handpuppet. Evil puppy is hard to photograph, as he never. stops. moving. ever.

All the pictures are like that - in focus kidlet, totally blurry evilpuppy.

Except this one, where he was going in for the NOM! on the camera:

Then there was some shoulder-surfing by Spike:

O also had a hat to show off (although she swears she made it AGES ago) - she spun it, she knit it (hell, she pulled the “pattern” outta her bum and made it up as she went along):

And, finally, more cherry blossoms, ‘cos they make me happy.

Oh, hai. Yes, still alive.


Haven’t felt much like blogging lately, not because there’s anything wrong, mind you, but because every time I’ve thought of something to write about, I’ve been hours away from a computer.

I do have pictures to post, and there has been progress on the Nihon Vogue stuff (and the WooBoo sweater? it’s perfect in every way. I love it. I wear it a LOT - the purple one, on the other hand, not so much. I will be unravelling that one, redoing the swatching and the math, and reknitting it. I love it, but I don’t love it in its current form).

In the mean time, go check out Critterboy in the news: Seattle PI article about the MSG150 (the three in the pic are his coworkers, who started the whole thing).

And then check out what some people are doing with their lunches: bento gallery (and great source for bento-style lunch boxes!)
