What a Diva Must Do
I have slept 21 hours in the past 36. I am not myself. I can’t decide exactly what I’m feeling; exasperation and beyond to anger and fear. Not positive Diva feelings.
I have my very own Hulk, a male employee who cannot take supervision. He’s basically a good man but he’s got problems with authority and women. He is incredibly not smart either! He [...]
They’re Herrrreeee!
Awesome Ewe is offering these pieces separately (cardigan $81.70, “stockings” $33.85) or as a set for $113.60, no knitting necessary!!!
Or you can order the yarn called Lana Grossa – Mega Boots Stretch and knit them yourself.
OK, things really are getting out of hand in some areas of the knitting world, I’d say.

I just like it because he has combined silk (charmeuse?) with wool jersey, and broken at least two rules of mine. He uses the drapey silk through the waist and bust, an [...]

These are called Dressing Frames . They are lessons that lie flat on the table within a wooden frame. the frame is necessry for attractively displaying the lesson to the children and for storage. Here is an example of different ways both of those goals can be achieved.
The panels can be removed from the frame for washing [...]
Evil Twin Entry for the Day
Ohhhhh, I wish I could have afforded to buy more yarn, brrrrrrrr. At least I’m getting paid for this cover shot!!!!! but why couldn’t they have just used a seashore backdrop instead of making me sit in this cold sand??? People interested in this pattern wouldn’t have known the difference.

This must be the smallest display my husband has ever packed or else the picture was taken at the end of the conference. Why couldn’t we have picked something lightweight, like fabric, to lug across country???? These days I don’t go on all the trips with him like I used to. I’m home and rather [...]

This is an extra large moveable alphabet, a tool that helps children learn language skills. This is a design developed by my husband, he’s quite the inventor/educator type, very dedicated to making learning easy, enjoyable, and self-regulated.
This particular picture shows wooden trays and stand, plastic letters, cut using the laser cutter and a “sandpaper [...]
