So I had been delaying posting because I wanted to post some great pictures of my newest finished object. However, the weather hasn’t been cooperating (it’s the Midwest, who’s surprised?) so I’m back with projects and all sorts of reviews (books, movies, etc.)
First things first. This past weekend I finished my first big lace project [...]
Back in the swing.
Some Assembly Required
I’m keeping busy crafting for the holidays over here and absolutely NONE of it is bloggable since it’s all gifty goodness. So instead I’ll talk about what I’ve been reading and watching.
On the way out to Los Angeles, Wes suggested that I pick up a copy of Twilight. (It turns out some airport shops [...]
And here comes round 3.
The big news of this weekend (well Thursday and Friday) is that I have now progressed to Round 3 of job interviewing. That means that on Thursday of this coming week I will be meeting with a whole new set of potential colleagues and bosses, including the president and CEO of the company. Let’s hope [...]
James, get the hacksaw.***
This has been a relaxing weekend. Yesterday Wes and I lazed around for part of the day, then ran some errands and caught a showing of The Mummy 3. It was decent entertainment – nothing to rave about, but we enjoyed it.
Today we decided to explore Kansas City more, and spent the afternoon at the [...]
A summer steal.
This weekend was fairly quiet. Yesterday I got up on the early side and commenced to working on my to-do list, writing wedding gift thank you notes and, of course, knitting!
I whipped up my own little contribution to something new, something blue for the wedding:
Pattern: Eloping from Knitty Summer 2008
Yarn: Lily Chin’s Times [...]
Update Part II: Going Home Again
This was a great trip to LA but I do think I’ve learned that you can’t go home again. I few home last Sunday to spend some time finishing up wedding planning, hanging with friends, and hanging out with family. I arrived on Sunday night and had lunch with Sean at our favorite [...]
The Week So Far
I know there hasn’t been much updating chez moi lately. That’s because, mostly, there’s been lots of this:
And this:
And a little bit of this:
And tonight there was this:
Which was EXCELLENT – a must see!
Tomorrow there will be this:
So things might be quiet for a few days while I drive across this:
See you in Kansas, Toto!
The movies.
In the past week I have seen 3 great movies that I’d like to share with you.
1. Lars and the Real Girl – This is the best movie I’ve seen in the theatre in a long time. We went and saw it at a second run theatre for $3 (can you beat that?!?) and I [...]
The Movies
A while ago I promised a review of the movies I’d seen over break. So here’s a rundown for you:
Winner of The Most Anticipated and Equally the Most Disappointing Movie of the Holidays Season award is The Golden Compass. I loved this book, no wait I LOVED this book. And I was so disappointed [...]
A lovely weekend.
This weekend was busy, but truly lovely. I came home on Friday night to relax, knit and watch Tin Man. I only got through the first two parts, but it was an interesting take on the tale. I’m still not sure how I feel about how it has spun Oz on it’s head, [...]
