Susan being Snippy: Yarn Dilemna
http://susanbeingsnippy.blogspot.com/2015/08/yarn-dilemna.html
8220;Great things are done by a series of small things brought together.” Vincent Van Gogh. Thursday, August 13, 2015. The other day my friend Doris brought me some yarn that she had acquired from free or cheap sources. She did not need all that she had got so shared some of the treasures with me. That makes it awfully expensive. I guess I just live in a more frugal, common world! So I thought that I would play around with this "special" yarn. I had actually considered listing these balls of yarn on ...

8220;Great things are done by a series of small things brought together.” Vincent Van Gogh. Wednesday, July 30, 2014. Blatantly Promoting My Etsy Store! I am a Canadian Seller on Etsy.com who specializes in items that relate directly to what I write about on my blog. Quilting and Crochet - with I little bit to do with related crafts, like doll making, clothing sewing patterns and few odd bits like vintage sewing collectibles. Wow do I have Buttons for sale! A good portion of the buttons that I have acqui...

8220;Great things are done by a series of small things brought together.” Vincent Van Gogh. Saturday, September 28, 2013. Strange what people might consider multi-tasking. I for one feel that this idea of multi-tasking often means your attention is divided and you really don't do either task to the best that you are able. BUT its not okay to sit in a lecture and work on a small crochet piece? I can not only crochet while listening to a instructor give a lecture AND answer a question or two put to me whil...

Susan being Snippy: March 2014

8220;Great things are done by a series of small things brought together.” Vincent Van Gogh. Monday, March 31, 2014. Works in Progress, end of March part one. I have been busy this month, with so many different things! I never really stop sewing or quilting so today's update is a bit eclectic. Amigurumi. I don't even know how to pronounce it! I decided, even though I am a well experience crocheter, perhaps starting with something easy would be a good idea. As a starting point. Another very long term proje...

8220;Great things are done by a series of small things brought together.” Vincent Van Gogh. Friday, May 30, 2014. How I made a tray feeder for wild birds. This morning my niece posted on Facebook about a type of feeder that she wanted to order from Wild Birds Unlimited. And I had been thinking of a similar type of feeder for my back yard because the BlueJays and some of the other larger birds could not access the round tube feeder that I have there. So, as you know, I occasionally go off on a "tangent"!

Susan being Snippy: The Future of Food - Diet Quality
http://susanbeingsnippy.blogspot.com/2014/09/the-future-of-food-diet-quality.html
8220;Great things are done by a series of small things brought together.” Vincent Van Gogh. Friday, September 5, 2014. The Future of Food - Diet Quality. Earlier this week, I discovered a series being presented on the National Geographic website called The Future of Food. Some of the subjects that involve food are quite intricate and complicated. Very far beyond just sitting down at your table (here in Canada) to have dinner and as my Dad often said "shoveling it in". Jamie's Money Saving Meals. Hahaha) ...

8220;Great things are done by a series of small things brought together.” Vincent Van Gogh. Wednesday, November 6, 2013. Work In Progress - Crochet in the Morning. This is the first time in a couple of months that I am purposefully writing a Work in Progress post. I am still concentrating mostly on crochet (because the sewing machine needs a repairman and I am poor so I have to wait a bit yet - might Santa bring a repairman? The way this yarn feels against my neck is quite nice, not too soft but cozy, wr...

8220;Great things are done by a series of small things brought together.” Vincent Van Gogh. Monday, August 24, 2015. Out of Whack - Seasonal Projects. I don't have very many close friends who sew, crochet or knit, or any other crafty type of hobbies. I know a few gardeners, and a model train hobbyist, and most of the men I know are avid sports fans - oh and one fellow (my son actually) builds guitars and electric guitar sound pedals, but really very few now who do needle crafts. A larger project that I e...

8220;Great things are done by a series of small things brought together.” Vincent Van Gogh. Tuesday, December 3, 2013. Work In Progress. well, Actually its Finished! The season change seems to have affected my self motivation - slowed it down, ALOT! Mind you, I have been THINKING of the stuff that I should do and of the things that I want to do and of the things that I have to do. May as well start with the fun stuff. That sounded like I was using the purse to facilitate a five finger discount! So I used...

8220;Great things are done by a series of small things brought together.” Vincent Van Gogh. Tuesday, September 16, 2014. For quite some time I have been struggling with content for this blog and I have come to the conclusion that it has run it's course. I will no longer be updating this blog because even though some of you have come to enjoy what I write, there really is nothing earth shattering or particularly satisfying to me of the subjects that I have been posting. And on Pinterest, too! One subject ...
