PANIC! I'm a teapot! Yes the house is in a much better state but we have not done all the legal stuff yet. Eeek!

    At last! That's great news, as you were sort-of nearly ready last week. Well done and enjoy the last minute bits and pieces.

    Hi Lynne,
    Glad you got your visas. If you have the time for more yarn sales,I'm interested in the aran weight yarn but I need to know whether its 100% wool or not as I need it for a felting project. If the yarn is suitable for felting what would the postage be for 4 x 100g skeins? I live in Kerrie, Victoria (eastern slopes of Mt Macedon).

    All the best - look forward to visiting with you again when you get settled! (that sounds so American, at least to my Aussie ears!)

    Woo-hoo!!!!!

    That is excellent. You know, I've been following this saga from a distance, with the polite concern of a blogger, and then last night in the middle of the night (probably right around the time you got your visas) I was awake thinking, What is Lynne going to do without a car? Where will her tenants live? This is terrible. She should call the U.S. Consulate or whoever and complain!

    I'm so glad they've arrived. Now I can lie awake wondering how you're going to be ready by Saturday.

    :-)

Your monthly blog post

LOL G'day all! Apparently I can no longer blog more than once a month. Mea slacka, I admit. So what's been happening here? I've done a lot of knitting recently.  Ahem I may have bought a fair whack of yarn too.  So much for not spending money. I've been sick as a dog this week.  Gah.  I haven't been really ill with a virus for years - last time I was this sick was six years ago.  Man that was a fun month, DH having lost his job whilst we were getting new visas in Oz for said job, having to pack up and move everything we wanted to keep from the States, sell off the car, get rid of stuff.... all with me coughing my lungs up.  And the lymph node that came up that I thought was from a chest infection actually being breast cancer...  oh joy oh bliss. I even went to urgent care (the walk in, no appointment needed doc in a box that you see when your GP is booked out) cos I felt so crappy.   He confirmed it was probably viral and threw ...

Seattle Six

G'day all! 12 is a big number around here, being all to do with Seattle Seahawks and the 12th man - did you know that American football has 11 players active on the ground at any one time and the twelfth man is the spectators watching the game?  I didn't.  I know about the 12th man in cricket but not this thing that has been adopted here regarding what I usually call gridiron. But I don't want to talk about American football and I don't want to talk about 12, I want to talk about six. Yes, we have now been in Seattle for six years (and a number of days). Six years. Where has the time gone? This is our seventh winter - how have we managed?  Some people love gloom but we are solar powered.  And Seattle tends to be rather gloomy in winter.  I manage by making stuff like crazy, I wear bright colours, and I hang out online on Ravelry.  Without my rav mates, I'd be bored out of my brain.  I'd get a job but I don't have a work permit and that me...

Competition time!

G'day all! Because I am feeling generous at the moment, having given myself a nice dose of mercury (very therapeutic as long as you are Victorian or earlier, doncha know!) and also having developed a grand-niece, I reckon it is time for a competition. What do you need to do? One of two things (or both if you want!). Tell me: about a time you mishandled dangerous chemicals and/or compounds, eg when you played with a mercury switch and blew it up, causing mercury vapour to cover the whole area (including your lungs and skin...) or what I should do to appear more like a great aunt? (Eg how should I dress, what embarrassing habits should I adopt) (Don't say get wrinkly - I am working on that all by myself! LOL) Prizes are your choice of anything up to 100g of yarn not yet sold from my website or if there is something specific you particularly want that is sold I can see if I can dye some more up or do a custom dye job. Competition closes Friday May 11 10PM EST Oz time. That mea...
