My Bucket O’ Ponies has made for a good conversation starter.

Dusting off the CONVENTION HAT.

As I was writing these labels, I stopped only briefly to scratch an itch on my forehead.

Tried my hand (HA!) at a water marbled manicure.  Messy, but fun.

The joys of working third shift: nightcaps at 9 AM.  (That’s hot chocolate with amaretto, fyi.)

I started a new knitting project yesterday!  I’m making a pair of legwarmers that button up the sides.  Hopefully they will resemble spats when I’m done with them.  I’m modifying a lovely pattern I found on Ravelry to fit my legs.

I also hope my wool holds out for two of these.  I got two skeins as a gift several years ago and never made anything with them, so this seemed as good a time as any!  I’m hoping it works out to 1 leg warmer = 1 skein.

CONFOUND THIS WEBCAM.

Ever since I updated the software, the damn Logitech photo booth program slows to a crawl, and I couldn’t even color-correct this photo to hide the fact that I live in a dark cave with blackout curtains and yellowed lampshades.

I was going to take a bored picture and post about how it’s early on a Saturday morning and thus the internet is not a very active place and I was feeling lonesome, BUT NOW YOU GET THIS INSTEAD.

Feel my wrath, Logitech.
