jenifleur | October 30, 2007

Long post about SAFF ahead and lots of pictures, too. I am not even going to attempt to link everyone, it was that huge this year. Instead, I’ll stick mainly to loot. I had an AWESOME time.

Squee-mish

jenifleur | October 23, 2007

Maybe you can’t tell, but I’ve been working really hard at keeping the squee off the blog. I mean who really wants to hear all about the fiber festival I’m going to on Thursday except the people who will be there? And we’ve been squeeing on Ravelry just so nobody would have to listen to [...]

Post Shearing Stress Disorder

jenifleur | October 10, 2007

I feel like I was gone for awhile but it was only that I wasn’t on the computer for 4 or 5 days. I’ve gotten where that makes me feel very out of the loop. Jared came into town Saturday and left Monday evening and then I worked a long one yesterday. The day after [...]

I have a finished object today. One you didn’t know I’d started. What’s this? Is she knitting gardens again? Oh, it’s a carrot bed. Yep. Freak. Wait, that’s not a carrot. Oh noes, rabbit in the garden. Ooo a hidey hole made all out of squooshy! Well, the name IS “Ninjabun”, so the stealth is [...]
