sometimes knits, but mostly blathers
Though I happen to love them and am driving my kids nuts with my new 3-cd set and my album of Celtic carols, this is the last Christmas song I will inflict on you this year.
Time to get traditional.
Quiet day here today. #1 Son is at work, so our big [...]
Not sure when this video was taken, but Eartha still had absolutely terrific legs and ten tons of personality. Sadly, she died Christmas Day last year.
Tried for the original clip, but could only find one with a remix or one with drag queens.
Snow people for Pam
One more sleep,
Almost Christmas. So here are The Pogues with Kirsty MacColl ~ Fairytale of New York (1988). Admittedly not everybody’s cup of tea, but I love it.
Shane has since had his teeth fixed (and further ruined his liver) and Kirsty has passed away, but it’s still the original and best. I did look for a more [...]
It’s the day before Christmas Eve, so my second-last day of work for the year. It’s been super busy at work, I’m tired, there has been a lot happen and this year I feel like I really need the break.
The grinch manager has said we will not be allowed to leave early tomorrow, even half [...]
Not doing very well with my new camera, but I have at least got the Christmas decorations up. The same old ones with a couple of new additions. If you squint, you may be able to see them. LOL
Have found that a lit Christmas tree is a very difficult thing to photograph with any [...]
Finally, I bought a new camera! I think I’m even more rubbish with this one than with the old one, but hey, things can only improve *fingers crossed*.
For the first time in months (literally) I have sewn at home and managed to make enough progress on something that I feel I will achieve [...]
I <3 John Butler/John Butler Trio. This kind of music lifts my spirits.
Dad starts chemo on Tuesday.
Sewing tomorrow, I’m looking forward to it. I may or may not work on the designated project. My brain is a little fried.
I hope normality is resumed for all of us sooner rather than later.
Hope [...]
Tomorrow, leave work before 7.30 pm.
When you get home, tidy your sewing area ~ just enough, don’t be anal about it.
SEW.
Your soul needs it.
Two borders added to the centre of my version of Charleston Harbour. Here is where I start to digress, because it needs to be bigger. Blue and cream Carrie Nation blocks as a whole border next, rather than just top and bottom, though though they won’t work for the corners. I’m thinking shoofly blocks, [...]
L-O-L-A
Well, she doesn’t at all, but her name is Lola and she’s a Maltese-Australian Silky X. The Princess brought her home after being expressly told that she couldn’t.
My kids aren’t old enough to know the lyrics to the song. They are definitely of the post-Kinks generation. Hehehe.
She is still teething, nothing is safe. So far [...]
