Just taking some time out to wish a Happy Birthday to my lovely hosting company (with whom I’ve been a happy customer for well over ten years), on the occasion of their turning Sweet 16. They let me play with the technical details as much or as little as prefer, and make running a website a dream come true. Happy Birthday, DreamHost! 🙂

I’ve been madly crocheting for the past month (more on that after Christmas — don’t want to spoil any surprises!), and came across this post today:

  • Giant Doily Rug

How cool is that? Of course, it helps if you happen to have a spool of upholstery cording just lying around… 😉

Like all craft options, the crochet bug comes and goes for me. Lately, it’s not only come back for a visit, it appears to have moved right in for an extended stay. Here are three pages I came across today, whilst indulging it:

  • Hexagon How-to, from Attic24
  • block meet, from moonstitches
  • Half Flower Tutorial, from Once Upon a Pink Moon

♣ About Me

A mild-mannered number cruncher by day, mad crafter by night! Papier mache and lampwork glass beads are my favorite media, but anything that recycles/repurposes existing materials is likely to catch my attention. :-)

Bullet points: one husband, oodles of nieces & nephews, multiple best friends, several thousand books, silence punctuated by laughter, infinite curiosity, procrastination, distraction, a packrat nature, and a Farscape obsession; addicted to coca-cola, semicolons, and the internet. Sojourned in the Desert Southwest, the Pacific Northwest, and the Midwest, but New England is home.

Immediate family runs from evangelical Christian to active Wiccan, raving right-wing to flaming liberal; tolerance and understanding are thus Important Components of my life. On a practical level, I prefer Macintosh to Windows, dogs to cats, standard transmission over automatic, and hardcovers rather than paperbacks. Most other stuff is open to discussion.
