That’s not a typo. I am overflowing with virtue this evening. I’ve been intending to restructure my filing system for some time, with the aim of making it at least slightly less loathsome to compile info at tax time. (Ain’t no way in this galaxy to make it enjoyable, or even a zero-sum event. Less […]
Remember that lavender cotton shawl I made a couple of years ago? Talk about a dumb thing to do. The pattern was beautiful, sure, but I never use shawls. So I decided last night I’m going to frog it all and use the yarn for something I will wear. Might be a good idea to […]
