When my grandmother passed away years ago, my mother got this box of hers that she kept all sorts of stuff in. Photographs. Ticket stubs. Postcards. And a little swatch of novicely crocheted yarn, with a little piece of paper pinned to it on which she wrote "Nicole learning to crochet 8 years old February '85"
I recently did the little thing justice by putting it in a shadow box.
A touching tribute, I think, to my nana.
For the past while I've been belly-aching over having to log into friendster if I wanted to update my blog.
Not no more! And hopefully this will up my readership! maybe!
I'm going to start transferring my entries from there to here so everything's altogether.
I also think that having my blog away from friendster will allow me to really indulge in my inner craft nerd. For instance, I'm really excited about the use what I have idea on Simple Sparrow. It makes so much sense! I buy so much fabric, wool, buttons, ribbon and other doo-dads that I have the best of intentions for - awesome skirts, jackets, sweaters, gloves, scarves, little stuffed friends.... but not even a quarter of my ideas actually get put into 3-D form. So, for the month of April...I vow.... to uhh use what I have.....buy no yarn, buy no fabric, buy no nothin'....
except for the yarn that I have to buy to knit something for someone I promised. But other than that..I swear.
honest.
no...
really.
