the corvidarium: June 2011
http://corvidarium.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 7, 2011. I was looking back through my photos for the past few years, and it seems that June is the time when I refinish furniture. This year is no exception. I found this little dresser at the thrift store. on half-price day. Bonus! Laminate top. solid plywood construction. It was presumably part of a modular set, since the veneer only wrapped half-way around the sides, and there were large screw holes on it. And here it sits in my bedroom, with pretty paper lining the drawers.

the corvidarium: October 2011
http://corvidarium.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 31, 2011. This month I was:. Reading. Yes I was. Kathleen Norris. NONFICTION, people. Do you know how uncharacteristic this is? Reading is my escape. It's not supposed to make me think. (Please don't judge me.) But, surprisingly, I've really enjoyed it all! Watching. Castle. NCIS. Downton Abbey. Season two is not nearly as good as the first season. I hate when that happens. Celebrating. my birthday. I am now the answer to life, the universe, and everything. How bizarre is that? Thankful&#...

the corvidarium: of five minutes
http://corvidarium.blogspot.com/2012/06/of-five-minutes.html
Friday, June 22, 2012. Five minutes to write, just let it out, no editing, no second-guessing. My heart pounds, thundering in my chest. Words that need to be said tumble around in my head. Justice drives me. Fear holds me back. Adrenaline rushes through my system, stress building. And that's just with the thought of what I need to do. There's still the action to come. I hate risk. I hate speaking up. I hate confrontation. It's never felt like it helped. But still. Still. Still. Linking up with Lisa-Jo.

the corvidarium: May 2012
http://corvidarium.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 25, 2012. It's been an interesting week. Not all good. but not all bad, either. We celebrated our 24th anniversary with a walk at the beach. Extravagant, I know. But you only live once. We got unsuspectingly dropped into the middle of an ugly bit of church politics. and I made (and ate) a dozen muffins in self-defence. We were given a new (to us) car. And spring has firmly arrived, and there are many gorgeous flowers around the neighbourhood. That's my week, more or less. Links to this post.

the corvidarium: December 2011
http://corvidarium.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, December 17, 2011. So, erm. yeah. It's the middle of December. Life is flying by as fast as usual. Not much else to say, really. I'm living in denial, but making Christmas presents anyhow, just in case the Christmas fairies forget to show up at my house in the next couple of days. The next thing I need to do is to start planning Christmas dinner, since apparently it'll be happening at my house this year. A glorious sunrise in my rear-view mirror. Links to this post.

the corvidarium: November 2011
http://corvidarium.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 30, 2011. It's time for my monthly gasp. how is it the end of November already? There got that over with. Here's what I've been up to:. That's the big one. I signed up for NaKniSweMo. The goal being to knit 50,000 stitches in the month of November. I succeeded. Big time. Like a boss. (yikes! I've been hanging out with my teenagers too much, I think! Slightly modified, and mine is the Romy. Cardigan (with added cabling). All of the Sharpe novels. It is such a joy to teach a child who h...

the corvidarium: Insta-friday. again.
http://corvidarium.blogspot.com/2012/06/insta-friday-again.html
Friday, June 15, 2012. So, it seems that this is all I'm able to keep up with, blogging-wise, these days. So be it. Let's hope for more some day. This has been my week:. We've had rain, sun, rain, rain, rain and more rain. Also a bit of sun. But mostly rain. There's not so many pictures of the rain, because on those days, I generally sit indoors to avoid looking at it. I have walked more this week than I have in a long time, starting with a gruelling climb straight up a mountainside. I have my sewing mac...
