Admittedly, I should be working on studying for my final, or the big ‘ol research project (which really isn’t that bad), or typing up my case report for my final presentation of a counseling session. Yep, I’m procrastinating as usual. I was just...

Lazy blogger that I am I have neglected to show these as finished objects, only in process. I’m totally absorbed in The Lost Room right now and I don’t feel like coming up for air. It’s crazy. I greatly admire the imaginative mind behind it. Right...

Here is my first beret, the Robin Beret. I never saw myself as a beret-wearer but I think I’m now a convert. I bought the pattern for this beret today and I’m also thinking about this one and this one. I used about half a skein of Classic Elite Alpaca Sox...

Here is a quick look at my Halloween costume. I was a vampire (yes, pretty generic). We actually didn’t make it out on Halloween. We went to a skating rink the night before that had unlimited Old Style, Keystone, and skating of course for seven dollars. I got...

I’m at my parent’s house for the weekend, hanging out and not doing much, which is exactly what I wanted from the weekend. This is just a quick hello and an update on the progress of my clapotis. I love the way it’s turning out. I’m going to...

Elijah the elephant is finished. The picture is not the clearest, dear friends, because I am a procrastinator extraordinaire. I spent all Saturday reading away at Breaking Dawn (for the second time, mind you, no urgency needed) and couldn’t put it down. Drew...

Enter Elijah, a precious stuffed elephant designed by Ysolda Teague. I’ve taken a break from Clapotis until I decide what to do. So far this pattern is fun, very easy to follow, and exactly meeting my expectations. It’s a baby shower gift for a shower next...
