It’s been a while, I know. But it was the end of summer session I, and I’m exhausted. Teaching summer classes takes a lot out of me, for some reason.
Still, I have some updates.
First, photos a-plenty. I have an update of my WIPs.
Baby Blanket. Learning to work with the acrylic, and feels good to get [...]

Ok, so it’s true. I’m admitting it. So there. You’ll still love me, right?
Every day, I get more and more intent on owning a little farm.
In the Poconos.
Growing some organic fruit trees and strawberry fields.
Running a ceramics artists commune, holding classes and such.
And owning lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots [...]
When does one have too much yarn?

I’ve heard most of the arguments, I think, about stash guilt. Some say that if their yarn is going towards garments, then it shouldn’t be something to be considered guilt-worthy. Others have incredible organizational strategies. Some don’t buy yarn unless they have a project in mind already. Some go on crazy de-stashing purges, getting rid of [...]

So on Friday, we went for another date night. We saw local Philly boy, M. Night Shyamalan’s newest film, The Happening. M didn’t want to go, but oh no, I had to insist. Let’s just say that I’m in the proverbial doghouse, and I’m restricted from choosing our films for date nights for a while. [...]

First and foremost. I have socks. HANDKNIT SOCKS, baaaaby. That’s right. The only way that these could be MORE mine would be if I had raised the sheep that grew the wool that was spun into the yarn that made these socks. Hey…now wait just a minute. But I’ll [...]
Gender Politics

Two years ago, our friend’s daughter (“N”), a very nice young lesbian, age 15, told her mother that she wanted to live her life as a man. Our friend, this young woman’s mother, struggled with this proclamation. We watched her play the pronoun game. She referred to her child as “the kid” instead of her [...]
