It all started with Norma (doesn’t it always 😉 )… She sent me this sketch of a mitten that was dancing around in her brain. A double mitten that would keep her hands warm through all of the levels of Vermont winters. Norma provided the concept, and I worked out the details. I present to […]

Finally exhaling with relief
Having survived a week of all-day computer software trainings at work, I am now staring down a week of stay-at-home vacation. This break from work is much needed as I was starting to feel overwhelmed and trapped and very very cynical about my job. When facing a break, I tend to frantically start typing up […]
Socks Galore!!
I found my camera cable after having it lost for a while (when I moved everything around to put an eliptical in my house) and just last night got around to finding it. This week is full of LONG hours of training at my full-time job (I worked 10 hours yesterday and barely scratched the […]
I
I had a freak out this morning… couldn’t get in to my blog at all. I kept entering my username and password and it would just refresh the login screen. I tried it from 3 different computers. I tried resetting my password and being e-mailed my login just to be sure that the database hadn’t […]
Andromeda Update
I’ve had a couple of people ask, so I thought I’d update. Andromeda has been sent to the tech editor, and she said she’d get to it this week. It shouldn’t take too long, and then it goes to the test knitter. I feel this pattern is extremely important to test knit because of the […]

Have you seen this? I know a lot of you probably shop at WalMart and I have nothing against you, I just know about how they treat their employees and the companies they retail for and since I have other options, I choose to spend a little more and not buy at WalMart. If you […]
The goal…
I finally had my appointment with the Diabetes specialist yesterday. He feels confident that 20 pounds of weight loss over the next year should put my pancreas firmly in its place and lower my blood glucose to acceptable levels. So now I begin a long arduous process where I attempt to overcome my feels about […]
Grr….
I had planned to take a photo and write a post last night to auto post this morning, but Photoshop ate a chart I’d been working on for 2 hours and hadn’t saved as often as I thought I had. 🙁 Now I am spending my spare moments today rebuilding it because I told my […]
