Polycraftual: January 2008
http://polycraftual.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 31, 2008. A bright spot in an otherwise trying day. So, I won't go into too much detail, but a muckity-muck (mm#1) sent an e-mail recommendation on my behalf to a fellow muckity-muck (mm#2) to let him know I'd be heading his (mm#2's) way soon and that he should give me a job. Mm#1 forwarded the whole back-and-forth e-mail conversation to me, so I got to see his original recommendation. IT WAS AWESOME! I need to go print that e-mail out before the internet gets deleted or something.

Polycraftual: It just seems so... final.
http://polycraftual.blogspot.com/2008/04/it-just-seems-so-final.html
Thursday, April 17, 2008. It just seems so. final. It is official: I will no longer be in my current job as of May 16. I'll be training the new person starting May 5, and then I'll be free two weeks later! I have mixed feelings about leaving that early before we move, but I think it'll be good. We are supposed to leave to go house hunting the next day, so the timing is nice. I guess. I think I need a job. Because "proficient in several of the practical arts" takes too long to say.

Polycraftual: April 2008
http://polycraftual.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 21, 2008. A big yay, a big boo, and a little more boo mixed in with some yay. Well, the last few days have been a bit of a rollercoaster. I guess the best way to get through all of it is in chronological order. Big yay: I've got a phone interview! The couple left. God forbid that someone surprised Simon with a stealth petting and got a tension rod pulled down on their head! Let's hope this coming week is not so action-packed as this last one has been. I don't think I have that much Pepto.

Polycraftual: The Prodigal Blogger
http://polycraftual.blogspot.com/2008/09/project-bag.html
Tuesday, September 30, 2008. I decided I was tired of feeling guilty about not posting. It's much less stress to just go ahead and write the damn post! So, what have I been up to in the million years since I posted? Finished 1 of 2 scarves I promised as Christmas 2007 gifts. Almost completed 2nd of 2 Christmas scarves. Gotten a new job. Discovered new job is a different kind of high-stress than last job was. Watched a lot of football. Crocheted at tailgate parties and in the stadium. This is a Flickr bad...

Polycraftual: Unreasonably cute
http://polycraftual.blogspot.com/2008/04/unreasonably-cute.html
Tuesday, April 15, 2008. My sister's twins will be turning 3 in 8 days, which means it's crunch time for crafty presents. I have been desperate for an excuse to make play food, so I decided to take the amigurumi bull by the horns and crochet some! I found insanely cute patterns on Etsy.com. From several sellers, and ended up buying:. Patterns from Crochet Roo. I made a test cookie (chocolate chip, of course) last night, and it's ADORABLE! I can't stand the cuteness. I have to go.

Polycraftual: Oh, this is bad...
http://polycraftual.blogspot.com/2008/10/oh-this-is-bad.html
Sunday, October 5, 2008. Oh, this is bad. I witnessed spinning for the first time today, and it was GLORIOUS! I walked in to Stitch 'N Bitch today at Hank's. Spinning appeals to the same instinct that made me pick up knitting/crochet to begin with: the driving need to do things myself. It's a natural progression:. 1) I start knitting because I can't find the Perfect Scarf in the store. 2) As I discover I can't find the Perfect Pattern for the scarf I want to knit, I design my own. That I can do now.
