Well, it’s Easter and with the preponderance of bloggers posting photos and step-by-step instructions about dying yarn and roving lately, I have decided that eggs and wool are not the only thing that should be able to enjoy a dip into the dye pot. Check out this fantastic fiber I have! Look at that unique crimping! Its luxuriously soft and warm and I have a bunch of it! But gray is so . . . I dunno . . .[...]

We’re baaaaack! We’ve been baaaaack for over a week, actually. Whenever I take time off work, it takes twice as long as I took off to catch up. It’s been a crazy week and looks like it will continue to be for a while. Yech. How was our vacation, you ask? Well, let me start with a brief disclaimer.

Well, I may be willing to hurt someone a little . . . you know, depending on what kind[...]

We’re flaky peas in a forgetful pod, Jon and I. That’s why I love him. So instead of the post I was going to do today[...]

According to anonymous sources, something very strange happened recently at a local residence. Our investigation team went to work! The location of the suspicious activity is pictured here. This medium-sized cardboard box was filled to the top with Styrofoam packing peanuts. Impromptu forensic testing proved that these were not the kind of packing peanuts that disintegrate when licked.
