Splindarella's Blog: December 2010

Pull up a chair and get comfy. Sunday, December 26, 2010. My cousin turned me on to this, and it's the coolest Christmas thing ever. Fill out some information about your child, upload some photos, and Santa sends a personalized video message. My five-year-old loved it! And "Do you think you've been nice enough? She got so excited that she decided to make him a video message in return. She said, "Santa showed me his office, so I'm going to show him my room." It was truly magical. Sunday, December 12, 2010.

Pull up a chair and get comfy. Sunday, November 28, 2010. You Know What Happens When You Blink. It feels like all I've done since my last blog post is blink, but it's nearly Christmas and where the heck has all that time gone? If only I could keep from blinking. Im with your mom on the standing up for oneself.BUT now that all the schools practice zero tolerance, its a no win situation. The times are tough for kids who get pick on. Hope it all works out for your little one :). Take care of your wrist!

Pull up a chair and get comfy. Friday, June 25, 2010. What a week it's been! Getting back to work after a nice, long break is always hard, and splitting my time between teaching and administrating only makes it that much harder. The nice thing about going back to work, aside from the fact that I love my colleagues, is that I gain massive amounts of knitting time. Traveling 2 hours one-way does that. Lately, though, I'm devoting my knitting time to crochet. Check this out:. There's my Marigold Wrap. At le...

Pull up a chair and get comfy. Saturday, February 10, 2007. Top-Down Timothy Cap Pattern. Today I caught a post from a woman asking for submissions of short patterns for her knitting guild's newsletter. I sent in my pattern for the Top-Down Timothy Cap and she said they're going to publish it! I know it's not nearly the big deal of other people getting their patterns published in Knitty, etc, but this will be my very first pattern published anywhere. So I'm just tickled. One size fits most adults. KFPB =...

Pull up a chair and get comfy. Wednesday, September 08, 2010. First Day of School. Kindergarten.riding the school bus all by herself.every penny spent on pre-K more than worth the moment when she stepped on board without a tear or a backwards glance, waving good-bye, excited beyond belief to be heading to her first day of school. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I knit, I spin, I weave.oh, and I have a family and career as well. But, ya know, a gal's gotta have her priorities. View my complete profile.

Pull up a chair and get comfy. Sunday, August 22, 2010. My Day in Pictures. Tuesday, August 17, 2010. I teach. The pay sucks, the benefits (as a teacher at a university, as opposed to, say, a public school) are minimal and my own personal commute is pretty ridiculous. Taking a Spanish Immersion class. I just came back from mine. I arrived late Friday and enjoyed dinner and some quiet knitting time with my audiobook ( Scott Sigler's. Nocturnal) in the Ram Das Library. I spent Saturday afternoon knitting, ...

Pull up a chair and get comfy. Thursday, August 05, 2010. Hold the Mayo.and the Dessert. Sugar makes me crazy. Not crazy like my toddlers get crazy when they have one too many spoonfuls of sprinkles on their ice-cream sundaes. No, this is a slower, more insidious crazy. The kind of crazy that you know is taking over, but still you keep going with it because, well, that's what the crazy is, after all.crazy. Wrong Of course, wrong. You. Know it's wrong. It took me years. Weight when he doesn't. And so , wh...

Pull up a chair and get comfy. Saturday, July 31, 2010. I finally finished my Not Yo' Mama's Doily Shawl. It only took a couple of weeks, but it felt longer. I do like the result, even though it's so light and ephemeral that I can't really imagine when I'll wear it. The stitch pattern is sooooooo pretty, though, don't you think? No photos yet, but if I can get through the last rows of 400 stitches any time soon, there will be. Sunday, July 18, 2010. The Killers Among Us. Pretty damn fun, that's for sure.
