Grogginess
I have this odd feeling this morning. Yesterday, I felt a somewhat like my body was trying to get sick - a cold, flu, or whatever. It never got past a sore throat, a bit of body ache, and a lingering headache. I went to bed and got some great sleep, but this morning, I feel as though my body just got over some major virus. Mind you, the sore throat is still lingering, but it feels like my body was...

Pincushions!
Pictures 366 Originally uploaded by themissiah I’ve been busy making pincushions out of some repurposed items I had lying around, including the little Asian teacup for the one above. I’ve had the red satin-y fabric forever and those buttons are vintage bone buttons (they were given to me - i would not purchase bone). I had to wrap the foam ball in batting to make it thicker for the...

BABY Tamarins!
One of my favorite species of monkey is the Tamarin. They are freakishly tiny and jerk around like little darts. Now, over at CuteOverload, they have BABY ones. Yes, BAAAABY ones. I just turned into a puddle, they’re so precious. They have two at the Chattanooga Zoo.
Yarn Factory
Apparently, to Tripp, I am a yarn factory - due to the ever-appearing yarn hanging from the shower head and my making a mess of the kitchen. Well, there should be a correction. I have been a yarn dyeing ninja, lately. I did not spin the yarn (although, that’s my next step in fibers). I bought some great yarn from Stick Chick Designs and went to town. First off, I have never experimented with...

Waking Up
I don’t know what is wrong with me. I canNOT wake up this morning. I’ve been using the Breathe Right® nasal strips, because apparently I snore and it keeps Tripp up. They really keep your nasal passages open - a little too freakishly open. Anyway, I am GROGGY this morning and I don’t know if it’s because I slept too soundly due to those things, or what. For years...

Scrybe
I just received my Scrybe invitation, today. I was really excited. I’ve been looking for a very easy and efficient online planner/calendar. Scrybe is still in Beta and has limited registration AND a loooong waiting list. However, I got an invitation from a current user. YAY! I’m loving it so far. It has drag-and-drop capabilities and most, if not all, the features I look for in an...
