weaving major: February 2006
http://weavingmajor.blogspot.com/2006_02_01_archive.html
Arts and crafts, gardening, and other things that bring me joy. Tuesday, February 28, 2006. I finished the playground sketches a bit ahead of schedule. Click the sketches to biggify them, if you're interested. (I tried Kim's. Trick, but Blogger doesn't allow Javascript inside the blog entries. So sad. On the other hand, Blogger is still totally free.). So what is all this self-flagellation doing in a blog about things that bring me joy? Because despite their failings I enjoyed drawing these sketches....

weaving major: April 2005
http://weavingmajor.blogspot.com/2005_04_01_archive.html
Arts and crafts, gardening, and other things that bring me joy. Saturday, April 30, 2005. Beauty and vicarious joy. This week's vicarious joy. Was sponsored by Mac and Bubbie, as we watched the county highway trucks scrape up the gravel on the side of the road. Brrmm! Joy was also brought to our household by Buzz Saw Louie, the newest occupant of our one-acre farm. Louie was discarded as being too dangerous by my husband's bosses, now restored to well above his former glory. Oh wait, this might be greed.

weaving major: November 2005
http://weavingmajor.blogspot.com/2005_11_01_archive.html
Arts and crafts, gardening, and other things that bring me joy. Wednesday, November 30, 2005. My sister wrote a blog entry. About a "ladies night out" that she went to, where she was frustrated by the other women who "jokingly" complained about their husbands and how they "deserved" time away from their families. I've shared Kim's frustration in the past as well. I feel the same way about Daniel as Paul does about his wife, but have trouble getting words out in conversation. So I thought I'd work out...

Arts and crafts, gardening, and other things that bring me joy. Saturday, January 28, 2006. Surf's up, dude. Today* you can catch a wave. Right off my roof. As long as you don't mind the just-above-freezing temperatures. They're melting fast, so hurry! Well, actually, this was three days ago, and now it's 45 degrees out! That's 7 celsius, for those who aren't stuck in the 19th century.) . but I didn't have time to post it until now, and it just didn't sound as exciting in the past tense. But I have to co...

weaving major: December 2005
http://weavingmajor.blogspot.com/2005_12_01_archive.html
Arts and crafts, gardening, and other things that bring me joy. Friday, December 30, 2005. Yet another online toy. If you're a compulsive list-maker like me, or maybe even if you aren't, Wists. Is a terrific new toy. It's designed for shopping, but you can use it for anything on the web that has a picture. It becomes your own bookmark list with pictures (and tags, if you want them.). First off, my list of things that make me laugh. Next, my small start at a list of beautiful handcrafted things. Or the be...

weaving major: October 2005

Arts and crafts, gardening, and other things that bring me joy. Saturday, October 29, 2005. Saving the world from brain-sucking aliens. It's a good thing it isn't left up to these two goofballs. This year's costume, improved from last year. Had shirts from the OttoMatic. Game intro, with Chickie's shirt transfer digitally manipulated to be pink and purple and green. Their antennas featured glow-sticks and floral wire, and BigE had a green mahooka thanks to a major donation from the lemon juice bottle.

weaving major: July 2005
http://weavingmajor.blogspot.com/2005_07_01_archive.html
Arts and crafts, gardening, and other things that bring me joy. Friday, July 29, 2005. Lessons on slides, wind and busyness. Yes, I did play with my kids yesterday. We went to the playground. (It was Daniel's afternoon off- and can you tell from the photo what he was working on in the adjoining football field? We discovered that yes, one adult actually can help two nearly-walking toddlers have fun on a playground. I set up a flickr account. For discussion and sharing photos - and they fall all over thems...

weaving major: September 2005
http://weavingmajor.blogspot.com/2005_09_01_archive.html
Arts and crafts, gardening, and other things that bring me joy. Tuesday, September 27, 2005. This past week I was washing dishes, and caught a flash of something golden fluttering past my window, in the back yard. My first instinct said it was a butterfly and then, with a jolt, I knew it was a yellow leaf floating down from the (still mostly green) trees. This past week - after much debate, prayer and pondering - we bought a new 5-megapixel camera for our Kite Photography. I read somewhere once where a p...

The Bead Diaries: January 2012
http://thebeaddiaries.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 22, 2012. Beading Babes January Challenge. In the midst of the Earring a Day Challenge, I have also been working on the projects for the January Beading Babes Challenge. Which I just joined at the end of December. Since this is my first challenge with this group, I decided that I would make both projects and follow the directions as well as the materials list.which is something I never do. I always find. After stitching 43 units, the base strip was just under 7 inches long. So I decid...
