Re-Imagining a Letter
This is the eighteenth installment of The Curious Creative, weekly 10-minute writing exercises for busy individuals interested in exploring their creativity. For the complete rationale, click here.
My Thoughts:
Letters of Note is a great website that attempts "to gather and sort fascinating letters, postcards, telegrams, faxes, and memos." Each week, they update their site with a new letter by all sorts of people, from Anne Frank to Martin Scorsese.
This week, we'll play around with one of the letters featured on the site. You'll produce a kind of found poetry or manipulation poetry. Having the restrictions of already written content in place sometimes produces really creative results.
Your Turn!
1. Visit http://www.lettersofnote.com, and click the bottom left link, "RANDOM LETTER. Click Here!" View the letter and related images it produces for you.
I just did it, and got a letter written by the woman from that famous photo of the sailor kissing a random nurse in the middle of Times Square celebrating the end of WWII.
2. After the read it, fill in the blanks of this summary sentence: This letter is from _________ to _____________; the purpose of the letter is to ____________________.
For my example: This letter is from the nurse who was the subject of a famous photo celebrating the surrender of Japan in WWII to the photographer of that photo; the purpose of the letter is to reveal her identity and obtain a print of the picture 34 years after it was taken.
3. Now re-imagine the purpose part of the summary sentence to include a new idea in the blank.
For my example: … the purpose is to confess her undying love for the sailor she has never been able to forget.
4. Now re-write the letter, using as much or as little of it, adding and taking away whatever you wish, to make the letter fit your newly imagined purpose.
To encourage each other and grow a community of Curious Creatives, sign in from a google account so you can share your creation in the comment boxes below. Also, if you subscribe to this blog (submit your email address in the "Follow this Site by Email" box to the right), you will get an email update whenever a new exercise is added. Thanks for playing!

Before the Natural Cafe came to downtown San Luis Obispo, Carl's Jr. occupied the spot. People were outraged at the location in the historic downtown Mission district. A choice campaign began: "If you do not want to see Carl's Jr. in downtown SLO, then don't patronize it. Without business they will close."
If you do not want to see, and smell, McDonald's in Los Osos, then don't patronize it. Without business it will close. The choice is up to you.

This toned down yellow colour is perfect for the office if you're looking to wear a bit of colour but don't want to blind your co-workers with a bright yellow ensemble. If you want the mustard colour to pop, pair with a black top and dark tights.
The mustard skirt that I am wearing is tweed and therefore perfect for winter. Again, because the skirt is on the shorter side, I recommend wearing tights.

Maybe it was the 6 a.m. flight from Fresno back to Tacoma that left the team bleary-eyed.
Whatever the reason, the Rainiers couldn't find their groove early in Monday's game at Cheney Stadium against the Reno Aces. Reno scored 10 runs in first four innings en route to a 14-4 win over Tacoma.
Tacoma manager Pat Listach said the sluggish start really took his team out of it early.
"We had some good at bats," he said. "Once we fell behind 8-2, their pitchers got some confidence and started playing in the zone a little bit more.
"We got to get more innings out of our starters."
Rainiers starter Dillon Overton took the brunt of the Reno attack, giving up 10 runs in 3 1/3 innings. Three of the seven hits he surrendered were home runs.
He gave up a two-out, two-run homer to Christian Walker in the first.
Although Tacoma tied it at 2 in the bottom of the inning, Reno wasn't done. In the second, Reno pushed across six runs, highlighted by Oswaldo Arcia's grand slam.
Reno scored single runs in the third (on a homer by Kristopher Negon) and another in fourth before Overton was lifted.
Tacoma's offense was limited to three hits but one was a three-run homer by third baseman Danny Muno. He's hitting .352 with three home runs and 11 RBIs on the season.
Muno said he doesn't let the score determine how he plays, no matter how bad it looks.
"You got to grind out each at bat," he said. "Put something together and see if something comes up. It was a tough one tonight. Tomorrow's a new day, just erase it and start fresh tomorrow."
With the loss, the Rainiers trail the Aces four games in the PCL Pacific Northern division.
The series will continue Tuesday at Cheney Stadium at 6:05 pm. Mariners pitcher Felix Hernandez will start for the Rainiers. It is his first start since going on the disabled list with bursitis in his right shoulder.

Sarah loses the NG tube!
There is joy and pandemonium in the Kraft household today. Sarah's NG tube has been removed. Yeah! She is now "free" from all artificial infringements upon her little body. She is now up to 16.56 pounds and unless she loses weight drastically for some reason, we should never see that little yellow tube ever again.
Now, I just can't wait to see her crawl. She has been rolling back and forth pretty regularly the past few days and even falling forward on to her stomach - on purpose. I don't know that her arms are strong enough to take her where she wants to go but her legs are ready to enter a bike race!!! :o)
The prayer is now that Sarah continues to sleep through the night without her constant milk supply. But what a great day!
Praise God,

Prayers for Jane
We are asking for continued prayers for some dear friends, Ray and Jane Arney. Ray is a good friend of mine from back in my Navy days. Jane has cancer that is spreading in her brain. Please see their blog at http://dorkman.wordpress.com. We need God's miraculous healing power now!
Thanks, Kirk
The Broviac Line comes out!
Sarah is doing extremely well and following yesterday's clinic the docs have decided to take her off the NG feedings for EIGHT hours a day. She is looking extremely good and I will be posting photos soon.
Tuesday, May 12, 2009
Good News Tuesday!
Patty and Sarah just returned from Children's and things are continuing to look up for our little one. Her liver numbers are all basically normal or very close to normal. Some of her red blood count numbers are high but they attribute that to the fact her body is trying to fight off a cold (like the CMV). She is now 15 1/2 pounds - she gained .25 lbs from just last Thursday which is outstanding. Yeah, Sarah!
The docs have now authorized her to be off the NG tube feedings for six hours per day instead of four to see if she will resume breastfeeding normally since her weight is looking good. On top of that, they said next week the broviac line can finally come out of her chest.
Praise God for His faithfulness and thank all of you for your continued prayers.

"Remember not the former things..." UPDATED
Patty received a revelations of sorts yesterday. God reminded her of one of her favorite passages. It is so applicable to our lives right now and most particularly to Sarah's new liver.
Isaiah 43:18-19
Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.
Some thoughts: the "former" and "old" things obviously relate to Sarah's damaged liver. The "new thing" was her precious new liver received in God's perfect timing, allowing us to refresh ourselves even while in the desert. Patty's thought was awesome: that making a way in the wilderness and "rivers" in the desert referred to new bile ducts! And that could also apply to the blood that is now freely flowing through the liver, as it should be.
God is so good!
Cool, huh?
It's Clinic Time! - Tuesday's outcome
Patty took Sarah to her first post-transplant clinic visit Tuesday morning. Sarah had her standard blood tests in the AM and then the actual visit in the afternoon. Her labs looked great - only the GGT is still relatively high but is declining. So, the liver is functioning well and Dr. Healey said she looks great. She is still putting on at least a little weight. We still have her getting 2 oz. of breastmilk hourly through the NG tube until further notice. It will be interesting to track her weight over the next few weeks to see if she gains anything substantial. Patty is minimally breastfeeding her now due to the large intake through the NG. We are also beginning to supplement with a little formula to fortify the breastmilk.
This afternoon we received a call from Marsha, the transplant nurse coordinator, who advised us the CMV was high. For those of you not up to speed on your medical acronyms, CMV stands for the Cytomegalovirus. This is no big deal to normal, healthy person who will simply have cold symptoms. In an immunosuppressed individual CMV attacks the liver and other organs and can actually lead to organ rejection. Sarah was already on the meds to prevent CMV but apparently the dosage was not high enough. The dosage has been raised and we need to wait and see. She is asymptomatic but if she gets a fever and becomes symptomatic it will result in a one week stay with IV antibiotics. So much for taking the broviac line out!
If a further update is warranted following our Thursday clinic, I will post another entry.
Saturday, May 2, 2009
The Next Stage of the Journey
With all of us together once again (hopefully for a VERY long time), we have entered the next stage in our journey - post-transplant. Sarah will be visiting Children's twice a week for clinics for the next month or two. Please keep those visits and Patty's back-and-forth driving for those appointments in your prayers.
We have a new regimens of meds as well. Please agree with us that Sarah will take those with no issues. It is also crucial she continues to gain weight. Currently, the NG tube is supplementing Patty's breastfeeding with additional breastmilk. If all goes as planned, we won't have to go back on TPN at any point. But for the time being, the broviac line is still hooked into Sarah's chest so we need to pray against any infection. It is likely they will take it out in a month if everything goes as planned.
Thanks for continuing to stand with us for divine health for Sarah and her new liver. Rejection can happen any time up to a YEAR or more after transplant so we need to be vigilant.

Right now I am sitting in my room listening to the thunder rumbling outside, with the screams and shouts of our new neighbors mixed in. It's peaceful, but at the same time a reminder of what we are being called to do this summer. These seniors are drunk already and they just moved in this afternoon! The smell of pot,beer and cigarette smoke are all around us. The foul language and taunting are also a part of this summer. Each week we will get a new group of high school seniors who come and party...and not just one party...everyday, all day. I seriously don't know when they sleep! They are awake when I go to bed and awake when I leave for work (at 8 in the morning). It's so sad to see what they are living for right now. One of my teammates told me that one of the kids said that his mom told him that he would be disowned from the family if he came here. Can you imagine?! A mom trying to keep her son and not even the threat of disowning stops these kids!
This last week we had a week called "Killing the Giants". I think I mentioned it in my last blog, but it is when we conquer some of our fears with evangelism. We had to make goals for how many times we initiated conversations. Like asking someone to go through a survey with us. Our goal was 2,582 initiated conversations with 91 people sharing for 5 days. Our final count was 2,677!!! We talked with 2,677 people in 5 days! Crazy. Our other goal was gospel conversations and that was 550 or something like that. We had 627 gospel conversations out of the 2,677 initiated!!! AND the awesome thing 101 people came to know Jesus Christ as their Savior!
This last week wasn't easy at all. I really was excited to go out sharing, but after working an 8 hour day, and on my feet for those 8 hours. I didn't want to go out and talk with people, I wanted to spend the one hour I had at home to myself! I had some hard days of being exhausted and not having any strength in me. I was disappointed because most of the conversations I had, the people were already believers. I was able to get more comfortable with going up to strangers and asking them about death and Jesus! The night before the final count I wanted to go out sharing and there was only one other person who wanted to (where I was hanging out). So Dan and I went out Friday night to talk with people on Main Street and on the beach. We talked with a few people but nothing much resulted from those conversations. We went on the beach hoping to find more people to talk to, we talked with this one girl named Paige. She is 19 and working on the fast track to prosperity. I asked her a couple questions from the survey and then Dan shared the Gospel with her. I was praying for Dan the whole time, but I just felt like she didn't really care and wasn't listening. He really pushed the point of how important the decision to let Jesus Christ be Lord of your life is! He also said that we didn't want her to pray the prayer just because it's the right thing to do...it has to be something that she desired. After thinking about it she decided that it was a decision she wanted to make!!!! I know have a new sister in Christ! It was just a sweet ending to a frustrating week.
Tonight I really wanted to go to bed because of the stressful week I had, but I felt that the Lord wanted me to go out sharing. I decided to go out and share. I knew that a lot of the students had just moved in so they hadn't heard about us:D I went with Diego this time. We went in the Carnival, but there was no one really to talk to. Then we went down Main Street and after a bit we went up to this young couple. We asked them what they thought happens after death, their answer was reincarnation. We then asked them what would you tell your friend if he came up to you and asked you to help him become a Christian. They said "just find out for yourself. We don't know anything about it". Our last question (s) was How would you rate your desire to know God on a scale from 1-10 (high-low)? They both said a 10. Usually when people say 10, they are just saying it because we're Campus Crusade people. BUT we were telling them how we really enjoyed that they were being real with us, so I knew that's what they meant. We then switched the question around. "how would you rate God's desire to know you?" They both said 1! My heart just broke! This whole time the storm that I talked about at the beginning of the blog was coming closer...and right at that point it started raining. It's not a nice Minnesota rain, it's HUGE drops of rain. We ended up giving them the booklet with Diego's email address on it and thanked them for doing the survey with us. I know that we talked with them for a reason, but MAN the timing of the rain was frustrating. I felt like the Lord was opening their hearts. I'm praying that I run into them again (and recognize them!) so I can go through the booklet with them. Please keep Joe and Cathryn in your prayers. They need to hear how much Jesus Christ wants a relationship with them!!!
Well this is just a quick update on my week! I'll write a little bit more on Tuesday:) Thank you all for keeping me in your prayers! I really could use prayer for energy and endurance...my body is not used to this kind of schedule!
God Bless

Purple Honeysuckle and Butterflies (by Shirley)
I have a couple of designs today featuring the gorgeous new Honeysuckle Butterfly set. I love these beautiful butterfly stamp sets, Chocolate Baroque's designer is mega talented :)
This first card was a bit of an experiment. I worked on it in a few stages, partly because I've been very busy and partly to let it dry between layers. These are fantasy as I've never seen Honeysuckle this colour :)
I started by stamping the flower & butterfly image from Honeysuckle Butterfly with black Archival ink on mixed media paper and then dry embossed with the swirls. Sorry but the embossing folder doesn't say which company it's from. I used coral chalk ink to darken the embossing.
Next I sprayed with Purple and Midnight Dylusions inks. After drying I painted here & there with white Gesso and finally I painted with Silks Acrylics over top.
I coloured the main image with Prisma pencils. I stamped the image a second time on separate card stock, coloured and decoupaged the butterflies. I embossed them on the back with a stylus for dimension and added stickles. I also added lots of clear rhinestones on the background as you can see.
Next I have similar colours again using Dylusions inks but I did not add acyclic paints.
I stamped the daisy image from Honeysuckle Butterfly. I coloured it with Prisma Pencils. The background is Midnight and White Dylusions inks. I stamped the thistle (which I coloured with Prisma pencils) and flourish from the same set in the the background. I stamped, coloured and decoupaged two butterflies from the set to pop up onto the card. Die set used: Spellbinder Opulent Ovals.
If you've missed the previous post from today, the blog comments winner was announced :)
We hope you come back often as my talented team mates have lots of beauties to show you again this month! Thanks for your visit and have a great day,

Two stunning cards Shirley. I love your interpretation of the honeysuckle in the pinks and purples. It reminds me of an ornate ceramic tile with the embossing and your coloring.ReplyDelete
Hugs, Flo xx
Two lovely cards deep and prettyReplyDelete
These cards are both beautiful. The Prisma pencil colouring on the first works beautifully, and I love the background stamping on the second and the white on the daisies echoed in the background too. xReplyDelete
In the first I love the way you've kept both the swirls & the rhinestones to the left & bottom of the design leading the eye in from bottom left to the top right across the image, a bit like an arrow reversed (hard to describe). The shaping of the butterflies is lovely & something I delight in doing. The second does look quite different being much more defined & 'sharper' somehow. I love the way you used two different images for stamping the top & bottom backgrounds.ReplyDelete
Paula (PEP)
My favorite colors and bling . They are beautiful. Can you tell me the size of the cards. I think I will have to go to a larger size since here in the USA the standard size is about 41/4 by 51/2inches . And what is your definition of decoupage .? Thanks so much .ReplyDelete
Hi Janice, my cards are all packed (we are moving) but I do know the embossing folder that I used for the background is 5 x 7 inches and so that is the size of the background. I tend to make larger cards vs when I first started designing cards they were much smaller. When I say decoupage, I mean 'fussy cut', sorry about the confusion. Take care, ShirleyxReplyDelete
Great samples dear Shirley I wish you a good move to your new place!!!ReplyDelete
Thanks so much for leaving a comment - it brings a little ray of sunshine into our day when we know our work is appreciated!

"Communities have told me they want to be more involved in policing and I am proud to be part of this programme, which is offering local people the chance to make a real difference.
"I have met several of our Special Constables and Volunteers, and their dedication, passion and enthusiasm is always clear to see. I am delighted the Citizen in Policing Programme is offering people of all ages and from all different backgrounds the chance to follow in their footsteps and help maintain and strengthen important links with Lancashire's communities."

Volunteer with Lancashire Constabulary
Hassan was previously a community volunteer for Lancashire Constabulary, but now volunteers as a Special Constable.
He is studying for a law degree at the University of Central Lancashire, and has received a Legends Award from the univeristy in recognition of his community volunteering.
On his previous volunteering role, Hassan said: "Being a volunteer is a great experience and the support I've received has helped with my studies and will help in my working life.
"I worked on the Be Ready to Change project, which involved helping PCSOs tackle anti-social behaviour, aggressive behaviour and alcohol issues among teenagers.
"They ran boxing sessions for young people where they were able to channel that aggressive behaviour and also educated them on how to deal with that behaviour.
"I made sure all the administration side was sorted, checked the participant's backgrounds and made sure they were on the right type of programme.
"I've been trained to teach about road safety and I have a new programme coming up where I will go into mosques to deliver road safety to children between five and 15."
Graham has been a volunteer for around seven years, giving up his time to be both an Independent Custody Visitor (ICV) and checking on the welfare and treatment of people in custody on behalf of the Police and Crime Commissioner's office.
"As an ICV I am a second pair of eyes for custody staff and for the community. It is my role to visit local police stations unannounced, speak to detainees in custody about their treatment and bring any issues to the attention of custody staff.
"The role is really rewarding and sometimes challenging but you receive lots of training to become an ICV, which is brilliant. If you want to make a change in the community, become a volunteer."
For more information about becoming an ICV please email email@example.com or call 01772 533 587.
Bob, a Constabulary volunteer for over 40 years, was this year named the force's Volunteer of the Year for his work in reducing petrol station drive-offs in the Ribble Valley.
"The training given to me by Lancashire Constabulary has helped in all aspects of my life."
"I have been volunteering for Lancashire Constabulary for nearly 42 years now.
"I used to be a Special Constable, and then when I failed my medical I moved to become a volunteer.
"My job as a volunteer has been looking after the petrol stations and tackling drive offs and the crime that occurs on the petrol stations, and I also help train others."
James is studying for a degree in Ecology and Conservation at Myerscough College, and already has qualifications in deer management and game-keeping.
He now volunteers his time to help tackle rural and wildlife crime.
"I've got a passion for rural affairs and the countryside and find it very rewarding to see rural communities getting the best out of the police force."
"My role involves advising on rural crime, mainly wildlife crime.
"I inquired about volunteering in November as part of my degree, and the wildlife scheme is just being established so at the moment I am helping out with rural crime operations and can help to identify species."

LONDON, June 19 (UPI) -- The sale of a Claude Monet painting at Christie's Auction house in London kicked off a week of huge sales on London's art market.
The River Thames painted by Monet was sold to an anonymous telephone bidder for almost $35.8 million, which is more than twice its estimated price, the BBC reported Tuesday.
The next auction is scheduled for Tuesday, when Monet's Nympheas, an image of water lilies, is expected to bring in between $20 million and $30 million at Sotheby's auction house.
Works by Henri Matisse, Pierre-Auguste Renoir and Pablo Picasso will also be auctioned off during the sale.
Monet's water-lily painting Les Arceaux de Roses, Givenchy, was also sold Monday for $17.8 million, less than its pre-sale estimate, the BBC said.

MasterM settles in...
Day 1
a session where everyone learns the welcoming/ goodbye songs ... once they know the songs everyone gathers outside and the men and ladies sing their songs to each other
Day 2
first years fold "flowers" from crepe paper to put them into chicken mesh and create our RAG Float
Day 3
an overnight camp to learn values and how to be a brother in a co-ed residence coming back to the residence as gentlemen and brothers
Day 4
first year men come back from their overnight camp and bring the girls flowers
Day 5
the Dance Society teaches us how to salsa
I am quite sure that MasterM would not have learned to salsa in Edinburgh and so I feel that his decision to move to South Africa has been vindicated.

And you are implying that he already knew how to fold "flowers" from crepe paper?ReplyDelete
Learning to Salsa, imagine the advantage he will have should he every be called upon to appear in Strictly?ReplyDelete

No way! I LOVE this!ReplyDelete
So unlike the hall life of our own dear students - you must be so relieved! I wonder if the Ploughboy might be persuaded to join him ... I can't even bear to think about agrics and inductions.ReplyDelete

Beats 'pennying'. I must find out if they offer Japanese!ReplyDelete
I have a feeling that (for different reasons) we may enjoy Master M's time in South Africa as much as he does.ReplyDelete
do you mean he already knows how to fold crepe flowers?ReplyDelete
Awesome stuff.
(I'm very very jealous)
I need to know the welcoming songs. I just do.ReplyDelete
Learning how to be a gentleman, fold flowers and salsa? He will be in great demand.ReplyDelete
Learning the Salsa in South Africa? I'd call that a life lesson.ReplyDelete
The "Dance Society," huh?
So glad he is all settled in! How exciting.ReplyDelete

Okay, I have recently watched the Planet Earth episode in which the men birds of paradise are singing for the lady birds of paradise. Perhaps it's something MasterM should look into. It seems like hard work . . .ReplyDelete
Mmm - I have a feeling that the crepe-paper flowers might not have been in evidence north of the border eitherReplyDelete
All sounds jolly good fun though!
I am delighted to learn also that he is learning how to be a gentleman in a coeducational residence. Of course, he might have been expected to learn that in Edinburgh too.ReplyDelete
I wish him the best as he embarks on this great journey in life! And, of course, to you and MrM as you deal with the distance....

Bow-Chicka-Bow-Bow Yarn Pr0n
OK, have I got pics for you today! The first is my latest dishcloth being modeled saddle style by the lovely Morris. Doesn't it figure that the best pic is the one with his eyes closed? tsh tsk, bad model. I get to keep this one. The next is the enhancement to my stash that I brought back from NY with me. Note the wonder that is the space bag. Before: After: My space bag spilleth over. Here's a close-up of the 2 dozen (!) skeins of Lion Jiffy my mother gave me. It was at one time intended to be an afghan. I don't do afghans. So now I have to figure out what to make with all this yarn. Might be good for a practice sweater, or 4. This is the awesome yarn that came with the white cabled knitting bag my sister got me from Anthropologie. It came with a scarf pattern, but I'm not sure that's what I want to do with this. So many possibilities... And this is some of the other yarn that was magically sucked into that space bag as well. This brings it to 36 skeins in one bag! I have to say, Joann's has some really nice, yummy yarn. I wish I had a Joann's here in Charlotte rather than Michaels. The selection is so much better, even for a craft store in a bumfuck north, left of the middle of nowhere town, it's a better selection than all the Michaels here in Charlotte combined. And that wasn't all, there's the yarn for the Voodoo wristwarmers I started while home: The yarn for the Holey Moley Scarf I picked up for $2 a skein: And finally, the yarn I treated myself to last night while visiting my favorite LYS, Charlotte Yarn. The Lamb's Pride will be for a pair of Fuzzy Feet. The Anny Blatt was on sale, 40% off, so I thought it might be a good yarn for a first pair of socks after trying out the fuzzy feet. The lavendar stuff in front is cotton chenille and will be for a flower facecloth from Weekend Knitting. And then I had to add on to my double pointed needle collection. I really enjoy working with them, I thought it would be hard, but it's very satisfying. So, there we are! Please, if you have any suggestions for the Lion Jiffy, please, please, please let me know.

Space Bags Rock
I forgot my digital camera at home, so pics will be coming later. But man, lemme tell ya, space bags rock! I managed to bring home over 30 skeins of yarn in one alone. 24 of which are Lion Brand Jiffy in a variegated purple and white (and green? Can't recall off the top of my head.) My mom ordered it years ago to make an afghan, now it's mine. I have no idea what to do with it yet. But now I have all the yarn that I'm not sure what to do with, but know I won't be touching it any time soon, stuffed into space bags. I highly recommend them for storage purposes. Got a bit farther on the Holey Moley Scarf. I should finish and block it this weekend. Then I need to get going on Aihblinn. My friend's B-Day is on the 11th and I really want to get it done in time. I've got about 3 inches or so done. But I'm giving fair time to my Voodoo wristwarmers too this weekend. I want to be wearing those before too long. And heck, I deserves something for myself!

On the Road Again
Well, I'll be flying back home in a couple hours. I'm looking forward to getting back to my kitties and my own bed. Not looking forward to all the work I'll have to catch up on, but that's the way it goes, right? I went to Joann's the day after Christmas and snagged a couple skeins of their Holiday Wool-ease. I didn't even know Lion Brand came out with it. It's snow white with a silver thread running through it. I'm making the Holey Moley Scarf from the recent Creative Knitting out of it for the girl cat-sitting for me. I won't be done in time to give it to her along with the payment for the actual sitting, but who knows. If I don't get her the cash until Friday, then yeah, I'll have it ready. I'm not bringing any of those WIPs with me in my carry-on though. I just don't want to risk them not being allowed since they're on metal needles. Well, the wristwarmers aren't, they're on plastic DPNs but those seem to have metal in the center of them. So, I cast on for another dishcloth, this time one for me! It's a safe project for a plane, mindless and on plastic circs. I'll also have my portable DVD player with The 40-year Old Virgin in it to entertain me. Yay! I'll be home hugging my kitties in about 8 and a half hours!

Knitmas success!
Well, sis loved her sweater vest and "got it" as far as how much time and effort something like that takes. So that made me feel so much better! And her fiance loved his scarf too. She laughed because she had been working on a scarf for him for a while but never finished it, now she thinks she'll frog it and make something else. Cousin loved her cowl (I really wasn't sure how that would go over, it is odd looking) and her kids promptly traded scarves, then eventually traded back. Kids are so funny. Uncle loved his scarf as well and Mom loved her hat and scarf. She did mention that it was a wee bit loose, which I was afraid of. I had used the scarf yarn as a carry along yarn for the brim and since it was essentially a thin ribbon of yarn with fur, I didn't think the gauge would be so affected by it. Well, you learn. I'm going to try weaving two of the ribs together and see if that works. I was also able to get my first dishcloths done! I made them from the pattern in Creative Knitting magazine's holiday edition. They're the same yarn (Sugar 'n Cream) and pattern, one's just wet. Funny how water totally changes the character of a yarn? I had to make my mom get the first one wet. I told her it wasn't a doily, it's meant to get wet and be used. She also tried saying her scarf and hat were for "special occasions" i.e. they're staying in the box for eternity because she's afraid to wear them. I said just because it's handknit doesn't mean you shouldn't wear it. I made them to be worn so go ahead already! Funny, she's the one that taught me to knit in the first place. This is the panta I made my mother this weekend, inspired by Zibibbo's recent blog post. It turned out beautifully. It's made from Joann's Sensations Angel Hair yarn. It took me a little less than two evenings to make on size 5 needles. I'm planning on making one for me, altered to include a couple cables rather than raised ribs. Currently I have 2 WIPs. I'm working on some Voodoo Wristwarmers for me, wrestling with double pointed needles. And I frogged the beginnings of the wimple I was making for my friend. The pattern just wasn't turning out the way I envisioned so I'm using the pattern for an Aibhlinn and plan on altering the bottom of it to flare out over the shoulders like the wimple pattern I have does. So we'll see. My mom about had a heart attack when I ripped out what I had done. But it's looking much better now. My very wonderful sister who got my name for Christmas, got me this wonderful knitting bag. It's gorgeous! Love it, love it, love it. Here's a pic of the bag itself. I love the cable in the middle. It has a pair of bamboo needles inside and a bamboo crochet hook as well! I had no idea they made bamboo crochet hooks. I can't wait to start using it once I get back to Charlotte and away from all the snowy wetness. Here's hoping everyone had as great a Christmas as I did!

Casting on...again
I made the scarf for my Uncle last night - it's identical to the Future-Bro-in-Law's. Nice and soft. I may try blocking this one when I get home tomorrow. I also cast on for the wimple (formerly referred to as a cowl) for my friend's birthday. The pattern is from the pattern-a-day calendar for 2006 she got me for Christmas. Specifically, November 18th & 19th. I did a few rows on it, realized I was doing stockinette and switched to purl. I'm going to do a few different stitch patterns throughout it. I really want this to be a unique gift. I also went ahead and started a dishcloth on some plastic size 8 circs for the plane ride home tomorrow. I know knitting needles are allowed now, but I'm not wanting to chance anything by bringing metal needles in my carry on. The circs are from my Knit-Knack Kit. and really blunt. Not something I'll cry over if they take them. I've also printed out the list from the tsa website that says they're allowed. So I'm all set. I'm doing this cool spiral dishcloth pattern from the winter Creative Knitting magazine. I think I'll give it to my Dad as a cloth for his glasses. I like the one I made earlier that was supposed to be a dishcloth, so I think he'll like it too. We shall see. I have so much to do today. I did manage to vacuum and tidy the apartment and clean out the fridge already. I still have to pack, go to Sam's after work and cash in my membership voucher from work, and hopefully find something for my Dad. He wouldn't wear anything knitted, so I didn't make him anything. Should he decide otherwise while I'm home I will most certainly make something. I also have a friend that wants to come by and see me before I leave (she's one of those people that get's premonitions or gut feelings about something and I have a feeling she's not feeling to positive about my plane travel. And she's usually right, this makes me nervous.) Oh, and I need to call and schedule a cab to pick me up at 5am (ugh) and cancel delivery of my newspaper. I failed to notify the post office so hopefully the girl that's cat-sitting for me can help me out there. I need to water all my plants, buy kitty litter, get cash for the cab...Ugh. I hope I can get out of work early today. Merry Christmahannakwanzakah to all!

My Needles are Bare.
The Christmas knitting is done! Yeah, I know, I still have my Uncle's scarf to do. But that will take me all of an hour tonight so I'm calling it done. The hat and scarf is for my mother. She picked out the fuzzy yarn (I'm trying to block it from my memory so I can't remember what brand it is) and I paired it with Wool-ease in black for the matching hat. The hat was made from Ann Budd's Handy Book of Patterns and the scarf from a Lion Brand pattern I can't seem to find anymore on their website. It's a simple keyhole scarf done in seed stitch. I hope she likes it. The kid's scarves and the cowl for my cousin I winged. No pattern! Wee! On scarves, I mixed fun fur with homespun so it was still warm, yet fun. I tried a bell shape on the purple garter stitch one, it coulda turned out better, but I'm happy overall. The other one looks so pretty, the pic doesn't do it justice. It's just a straight garter stitch. The cowl is from Paton's Bohemian. It started out in a 4x4 rib and progressed to 3x3 then finally 2x2. It looks pretty cool. And I like the button too. It feels so soft around the neck. I hope she likes it. I know it borders on the "You Knit What?", in fact, they all do. But hey, I figure at the very least, they can use them for dress-up. The kids are young.

Bobblicious is done!
I finished it with only half an hour to spare. The seams look kinda crappy, but that's ok because I looked and looked for a good way to join reverse stockinette and couldn't find it and winged it. I got a ton of compliments on it and plenty of requests for the pattern. One lady at the party even said she'd pay $300 for it in a boutique and that I should sell them! Ha! I say, "Learn to knit". But hey, it felt great. Even the experienced knitter's there were amazed I did it in a little less than a week. I'm so glad I didn't end up meeting my friend for lunch saturday because I wouldn't have finished it if we did. Yay! I can't wait to make another one, this time I'll do the arms in the round and instead of bobbles, I'll do loops. And I only used 4 skeins instead of the 5 the pattern called for. Probably because I did the russian join to connect new skeins. But also, I think the pattern writer included an extra row of bobbles in hers that weren't written into the pattern. Oh well.

I'm gonna look festive tonight...
It's not quite 11am and I'm ready to start the bobble section to finish off Bobblicious. 5 sets pattern rows and seam it up, and I'm ready! I still haven't heard from the friend I was supposed to have lunch with, so hopefully that won't put a crimp in my knitting time. The later she calls, the less time I'll have to give myself to get it all done. Well...guess I'd better get back to it.

So close I can smell it...
I think I can, I think I can, I think I can... When I test fit it, it's about a third of the way down my other arm. Between tonight and tomorrow, I think I'll be wearing it by 7pm for the party. I do have to meet a friend for lunch tomorrow, and it's about an hour there and an hour back so hopefully I can get a lot of it done tonight before I go to bed. The bobble section took me about 4 hours-ish so I need to give myself at least that much time tomorrow to do it. Oh, and there's my dinky little tree. It's about 2 feet tall. I've had it for about 5 years now, and last year was the first year I had to use any of the spare lights. Well, about an hour after I took this photo, the bottom half went out and I'm completely out of spare bulbs. Fabulous. And they're the little round kind too. Maybe I'll wait until after I get back from NY and buy me a new tree in the post-holiday sales.

I scream, You scream, we all scream for...ice?
All day yesterday all you'd hear on the news is that there was ice on the way. A couple years ago we had a pretty bad ice storm that basically shut down the city for a couple days. So it's understood that they'd warn us all about the potential for another one. I didn't think much of it though, watching the news. It didn't look like my area where I live and work would be terribly affected. And when I woke up and looked out at the dark parking lot, I could see it was raining and I saw puddles on the asphalt, so I thought there was no ice. Then I walked outside to get in my car to leave. Boy was I wrong. My car was covered in a sheet of ice. It took me 20 minutes just to defrost the windshield enough to be able to scrape off the layer of ice. The drive was fine though. I don't cross any bridges or overpasses so it wasn't a problem. There were accidents all over the city though. On another note, I gave Jimmy his scarf last night (figuring he might need it today) and it ended up just the right length. He's happy, and I'm happy. Whee! I also finally put up my dinky tree last night (pics later) even though I'll only enjoy it a week before I leave for NY. But it's nice to be in the spirit and not look like a scrooge. Bobblicious is coming along nicely. I've just started the 3rd of 6 skeins of yarn. After I fringe the HP scarf tonight, I hope to get a lot more of it done. Saturday is approaching quickly! And hey, check out my new sleek blogger template. Like it?

Bobblicious is officially started
So, I managed the three-needle bind-off on the HP scarf last night. Flipping the thing inside out to weave in all the ends was tedious, but I got it done. My provisional cast-on was successful too. I managed to pick up all the stitches and finish off the last few rows and bound that off too. I washed it (boy did that red heart yarn bleed. I'm hoping, actually, that it calmed down the gold a bit) and it's blocking now. It probably won't be ready for the fringe treatment until tomorrow night, but I might go ahead and get it cut at least. I started Bobblicious last night. The bobbles were a bit time consuming. Knitting into the front and back twice and then once again was not easy with such big needles and chunky yarn. I've though about trying the YO method of bobbling, but I don't know if they'll turn out looking different, so I'll just keep trucking. I got through 1 and a 1/4 rows of the bobble pattern. Hopefully I can at least finish the first bobble section tonight and get the reverse stockinette humming along. I really want to wear this on Saturday.

Harry Potter and the Magically Finished Scarf
So last night, after finishing the scarves for the kidlets and getting halfway through the cousin's cowl, I finished up the 9th MC pattern repeat of the HP scarf and you know what? It's done! Somehow, I knitted up a couple more feet between last night and Thursday afternoon when I last tested it for length. Now all that's left is conquering the 3 needle bind-off, picking up the stitches from the provisional cast-on and knitting 3 rows and binding off. (But first weaving in the loose ends from the trapped bars) and then the fringe! I'll probably wash it before I wrap it up and send it, just to get it all soft and nice smelling, but I don't think it'll need actual blocking. Yay! As a treat to myself for doing so well with my Christmas knitting schedule, I'm casting on Bobblicious tonight and hope to finish it for a Christmas party on Saturday. Wee!

I think it's almost done. I've done 9 repeats of the trapped bar, and am nearly done the final MC repeat. It's long. It's plenty long I believe. I know others have stopped at the 9 repeat mark, and I didn't think that would be long enough, but now that I'm there. I think it's long enough. But I don't want to chance waiting for me to finish with the fringe and the blocking and finishing to ship my Nephew's gift. So this is what went in his package along with a book. On the finished object front, I got my cousin's scarves almost done! I have the two kid's scarves finished and am halfway through my cousin's. I've decided to make her a cowl. I'm winging it, but I think it'll turn out pretty cool. Pics of all three when the cowl is done. Oh, in the pic above, the bottom box says this: "It's knit in a tube so it looks the same from both sides. That's 90 stitches per row in that tube. There is supposed to be 880 rows in the pattern. I've done 603. That's 54,270 stitches out of 79,200. That's love. Don't worry, I'm not going to do all 13 repeats of the pattern. You'd be stepping on it. Even when you reach 6 feet." Heh, think he'll appreciate it?

It's Done!
It's done, it's done, it's done! Hooray! I'm at a lose for any other words, I'm sure you'll understand. I've been working all day on this thing to finish off the last 16 inches. I've washed it, and it's blocking now as we speak. The cats are quite pissed off about it too. I've put it in the only place I can cat proof in this apartment. My office. Hey, it's got a door. The pic on the right is more for proof than detail. I got a detailed one for ya below. Pattern:
Irish Hiking Scarf 100%Yarn: Lion Brand Wool-Ease Worsted Weightin Oxford Grey (2 1/4 skeins 443 yds)

The End is in Sight!
So, being the idiot that I am, I forgot about my Stitch 'n Bitch group meeting last night. By the time I remembered, I'd have been an hour late. So rather than waste the knitting time, I sat myself down on the couch and pulled out the Irish Hiking Scarf. I'm going to keep taking turns each night between it and the HP scarf until they're both done. I managed to put 10 more inches on it yesterday! It's going so much faster since I figured out how to hold the yarn over my right finger for both knitting and purling. Go me!

Found this little quiz. Considering the "what book are you" quiz results for me was "Anne of Green Gables" I thought this was appropriate. You are Diana, Anne's "bosom" friend.
You get teased by Anne sometimes, but you're a
very good friend and you have a crush on
Gilbert.. you don't get him, though. You tend
to be shy, but you can still be stupid... (You
got drunk that one time.)

I know many of you (heh, many - who am I kidding?) that read this blog do not frequent the HBO Deadwood Bulletin Boards. I'm a huge fan of the show, and have been a member of that online community since the show started. I learned last night that one of our members passed away after a night of enjoying W. Earl Brown's music with other members of the DW Community. She went by the name "SweetSophie" and she was just that. Sweet. She was also funny as hell, a wonderful writer and a huge fan. Words cannot say all there is to say about this wonderful woman. She will be missed.

Mixed Emotions
I had high hopes for making some good progress this weekend on my HP and Irish Hiking scarves. But alas, they were dashed. I had to drive an hour north to a freinds house for a "jewlery party" (yes, I spent too much - but I got a cool canvas tote out of it!) and right after I got home, went out to dinner and watched "Walk the Line" (fabulous, fabulous movie) and only got a chance at 10:30pm to pick up my knitting. I did manage to get the 7th trapped bar repeat finished. And today, I won't have much of a chance until the evening either. But for an even better reason - I'm going to the Panther's game against Atlanta! Yay! ETA - I was able to work on the IHS on my way to and from the game. So I've actually been able to add a good 5 or 6 inches on to it today. I need to make an official measurement, then I can update the progress bar on the right. But yay! The weekend wasn't a total loss!

*sigh* Indeed, only halfway...
So, I finally got around to testing the length of the HP scarf last night. I wrapped it around my neck and...it doesn't even reach my waist yet. So the fill 13 repeats is bang on. But you know what, that actually makes me really happy because that means that the pattern I came up with is right. It's not going to be too long, and the pattern matches up with the movie scarf. I'm happy. Daunted, but happy. I think this weekend though, I'll knock off my Cousin and her kid's scarves. I think I'll call my mom and tell her to measure her head so I can do a hat next week too. I still have to find some yarn for the main color to go with the baby puke green/yellow/orange yarn of her keyhole scarf. *sigh* As for the kitchen. It's all back in place. The new floor looks great, the exact same stuff that was in my last apartment. I'm just glad it's over with, and I think the cats are too:

Progress Sucks this Week
Ugh. My apartment is in shambles. See, ever since I moved into it in March, the back door in the kitchen has leaked everytime it rains. At first, it wasn't so bad, but a towel down and that was fine. Then, everytime I'd step near the door, the floor sunk just a bit more than the last time. I had reported this when I first moved in, but the apt. management declared "there's nothing we can do about it." Boy, do I wish I had recorded THAT statement because they sure as hell don't remember it. I finally got a maintenance guy over to fix (yet) another leak and had him look at the floor in the kitchen. "Oh yeah, we can fix that. I'll call the contractors and have them come take a look at it." Less than a week later, they had replaced the subfloor in that spot. Problem was, they didn't replace the linoleum where they ripped up the floor. They left a note saying "Please call the office to schedule replacement of the linoleum." Well, woo-hoo! I get new linoleum to replace the decades old crap that's in there. BUT - I have to take out EVERYTHING in the kitchen in order to do it. Everything but the stove and the fridge that is. So they're coming today, and my kitchen is in my living room and the cats are locked up in the bedroom. That's not even the whole of it. Yesterday I had the apartment exterminated because palmetto bugs are gross and I don't care what anyone says, they're cockroaches to me. And they creep me out. I've had problems with that since day one too. I've tried spraying myself, but it only helps temporarily. In order to have them do it, I had to have the cats out of the apt. for the day. So we took a field trip to a friends house yesterday and they camped out there. The worst part was having to thoroughly empty the kitchen cabinets though. Everything, and I mean everything, was in my living room yesterday. I was able to put back all the stuff that was in the cabinets last night, and that helps a wee bit. But man, I can't wait to get home, see that new linoleum floor, and put it all back the way it was. I've gotten very little knitting done because of it all this week. (See? Thought I wasn't going to get it related to knitting did ya?) So, I'm 5 rows into the 6th pattern repeat of the HP scarf. And I do indeed think I'll be stopping at 9 repeats, so, can I say I'm 75% done? Can I? Huh? Huh?

Was nothing new to try: A story fashioned as a
Fall, the colors (turned). Was I there @ all

Lazy Song at Last
Write this on the breezes stirring
in this quiet, nameless spot where
woodland rock descends to wetlands.
Take the ambitions I've no use for
anymore, sail them on a maple key
down this trickle emptying the bog.
With luck they'll find the river I
hear faintly beyond the trees, maybe
reach Lake Huron before freeze-up.
But even if they stop at the next
windless inlet, snagged on some chance
tangle of debris, it's enough to watch
as they drift silently away, helped
by these straying breaths of pine.

As I'm sure all of you know, Google Reader will soon disappear. I moved all of the blogs I follow over to Bloglovin. I'm not too great with change, so while I'm not thrilled with it at the moment, I'll adjust. Eventually!
I'm not positive all my blogs transferred over. I have all of the blogs I regularly check up on in a special folder to make sure I see them. Only two of those transferred in that folder, so I'm still trying to figure out how to get blogs in their proper folders. :S
I have to post this link to claim my blog, so here it is....
Follow my blog with Bloglovin
I hope all of you are enjoying your Sunday! :) I'm finishing up 2 books that I post about tomorrow. I'm really enjoying them both so far! Back to reading now while the boys are napping/occupied.

I haven't gotten sold on either bloglovin or feedly yet, even though I'm signed up with both. I hope one of them hooks me soon, July is coming quick and I still love my google reader.ReplyDeleteReplies
Me too! I'm going to try Feedly soon, and see if I like it better. I'm still heartbroken I'm losing GR, though! :SDelete

Macon Police Chief Mike Burns and District Attorney Greg Winters divulged few substantive details during a news conference on the murder charge against Stephen McDaniel.
McDaniel is charged with murder in the slaying and dismemberment of his next-door neighbor and law school classmate, Lauren Giddings.
During the conference, Burns said evidence in the slaying points to one perpetrator. No date has been set for a grand jury session in the case, and there's been no decision on the possibility of other charges against McDaniel.
Burns said more than 25 investigators had worked on the murder case during the last month, and that more than 30 people had been interviewed. He said his department was still waiting for more lab results in the case.
Before the conference, McDaniel had his first appearance before a magistrate on the murder charge. He asked for a commitment hearing in the case.
That hearing was scheduled for Aug. 17. During a commitment hearing, prosecutors typically present more details of the case against a defendant to a judge.
Police found Giddings' torso in a trash bin outside her apartment June 30.
At the Barristers Hall apartments Wednesday afternoon, Macon police crime scene investigators were on hand as well as a search dog and handler that Giddings' family has hired.
