Eye Candy Monday

G'day all!

Here's some pretties for you - shoulda posted them a bit earlier given that part of the world has already eaten lunch on Tuesday!

Gerberas are such great photo fodder. Almost as good as strawflowers. Not that I have strawflowers today.

And even more eye candy!

What more could I want than a charming chap holding a stalk of one of my favourite veggies, brussels sprouts! (YMMV)

You want fibre? Well there's plenty around here but no new pics to tease you with! No new pics edited... but I have been dyeing up self-striping sock yarn.... that might give you a hint of what is to appear on my shop! Plus I have started stocking my Etsy shop too... (ignore the banner problem - I'll fix that soon!)

Finally, since I've had a stupid blogthing hanging around for a week, you get to see it too. Not that I think the first comment is true but a couple of then hit pretty darn close to the bone...




The Castle Personality Test



You have no problem diving into new experiences. You're so brave that you don't even notice how courageous you are.



You like to think that people see you as intellectual and wise. You consider yourself to be very smart.



You are a very romantic person. You can't help but see the world as it should be.



Right now, you feel like the whole world is open to you. You see lots of possibilities.



Overall, your life is very peaceful - if not a little solitary. Much of what goes on goes on in your head.



You feel like the fate of the future partially rests in your hands. You believe you need to help make the world a better place.



anon!

    A man with a hunk of sprouts...what more can a girl want? Nathan looks rather caveman-live wielding the sprouts!

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

Image
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...

A year and a day

Image
G'day all! This time last year, we were bemused and confused. Our grand trip across Canada had ended and we had just flown in to SJ airport. We have been in California for a year and a day (it's a leap year). 366 days in California. How has it been? All over the shop like a madwoman's you-know-what! You can read more about it on my other blog. I have now lived in three different places in my life. By that I mean I've had an address for mail and stuff, a place where I live rather than stay for a little while. Those places are Melbourne (Oz), Fort Collins (Colo) and Campbell (Calif). In their own ways, each has been special. Fort Collins will be a place I'll always remember, and possibly the memories will be better because we didn't spend a winter there ;-) In honour of this great occasion, I announce a contest! In the comments, tell me two places you have lived (one place if you have always lived there!) and a place where you would love to live (and why yo...
