So on a whim this AM I downloaded IE 8 Beta for Giggles, and got one. IE 8 has “Activities,” which are a flavor of browser plug ins that allow sharing, emailing, and incorporating things into Facebook and the like. One of those “Activities” is emailing something via Outlook from an Email button on the browser. Clicking that button opens Outlook and resulted in this:
Ha Ha. We all like to Force Outlook to Exit. : )
Borrowed The Big Book of Weekend Crochet from the library recently, and thougth i’d post my thoughts. nice – had a handful of really neato patterns in it. the patterns were classic, applying basic stitches and details in an appealing and versatile form. the only drawback – too many baby patterns. I really liked several of the sweater/wraps/cardigan patterns, and one or two tank top patterns. The rest was not to my liking. Do I think it’s worth the 18.00$? No. But I might consider it used for way cheaper.
Made this neato shawl for my pal on Secret Crochet Pals. I really love this blue yarn! I got it as a gift from a friend; her Mom had tons and tons of stuff she used for machine knitting, and this came from that.
My base chain was several inches longer than my arm span, and I did shell, sk 2, sc, sk 2 shell for the body. I edged it with 2 rows of sc, then a row of shells. I am pleased with how it turned out.
For those of you who know me, you know I’m fairly odd. So of course I dont have a normal child, no no. That would be too, well, odd, to have a normal child who would then think her mother is strange.
So let me give you some background. A few weeks ago I bought this 3 dollar cat toy that consists of some nylon fabric, some dangly thing, holes on all sides except one, and a catnip scent. Did the cats play with in? No. They sniffed in distain and went back to fulfilling their goal of becoming a LOL cat. Lila, however, loves this thing. She’ll wear it around the house, her head sticking out of one hole, her arms out of others, and her legs out the bottom. She calls it her ‘Robot Clothes.’
This morning, I go to wake her and found this – yes, she is sleeping in the cat toy.
I made this cute little shrug for Lila not too long ago from this pattern. I poked along at it, taking 2 weeks. Bad, Mommy! She’d near grown out of it between the time I took the measurements to the time she put it on. Sigh.
cute, tho! Baby Poo Poo (the younger cousin) will love it, and soon get it. =p
One of my math faculty at work is going on sabbatical to Canada next semester, and, in passing, he mentioned his 2 girls had no hats. Hmmmm, I can do something about that!
So I made 6 : )
