http://nicolethegeek.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
The Purl in the Oyster. Nicole Rodgers' musings and meanderings on her crafts. and life in general. Friday, December 30. Tough decisions. a tough day. Of energy, so it takes a lot of wind out of your sails to see her so lethargic. I won't get into the details of how. Sick she has been. Last, but not least, is the illness, and death today, of our beloved dog, Taz. better known to all that loved him as "Dipshit". Social dog. ask anyone in our village. he would visit them all on his "daily rounds"! To be do...

The Purl in the Oyster: March 2012

The Purl in the Oyster. Nicole Rodgers' musings and meanderings on her crafts. and life in general. Sunday, March 25. And the hits just keep on comin'. My entire last week has been an exercise in futility from a photography standpoint. As I had posted last weekend, I was building myself a light box to improve the quality of my photographs. My KP-IDP socks were finished, so I could get my pics taken, and have them shipped off before the kids started spring break. or so I thought! Bad I went to the site an...

The Purl in the Oyster: Enjoying what you are doing
http://nicolethegeek.blogspot.com/2013/01/enjoying-what-you-are-doing.html
The Purl in the Oyster. Nicole Rodgers' musings and meanderings on her crafts. and life in general. Friday, January 4. Enjoying what you are doing. Ever since I left my "paycheque" job nearly two years ago, enjoying what I am doing has been my #1 priority. It doesn't just apply to my knitting. I do my best to enjoy everything that life has to offer me now. One problem with this is how I get distracted by "ooh shiny! I have no idea how long this particular "oh shiny!

The Purl in the Oyster: I'm not being mean. I'm just saying "no".
http://nicolethegeek.blogspot.com/2013/01/i-not-being-mean-i-just-saying.html
The Purl in the Oyster. Nicole Rodgers' musings and meanderings on her crafts. and life in general. Wednesday, January 2. Im not being mean. Im just saying no. It's not hard to tell that I spent a lot of time on the "Selfish Knitters and Crocheters" forum on Ravelry today. The basic premise of the group is that your (insert crafting type of your choice here) time is your own to choose what to do with, and others shouldn't be telling you what you should or shouldn't be making. Where You Can Find Me. Most ...

I still need to weave in the ends, and do the washing and blocking, but for all intents and purposes, it's done. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I'm a mother of ...

Well, today is the last day of NaBloPoMo, and I DID IT! A few of the days I was pretty close to not making it, but I did, and I'm very proud of myself. Plan on working at it as soon as I sign off though. One other thing I did today is learn a new life lesson! Do not take the extra-long way to the post office without planning ahead! Next came the dog&...
