I don’t suppose it’s too uncommon right before a major, life changing move to have emotions varying from absolute despair (this will never work!) to euphoria (this is going to be the most amazing thing I’ve ever done!). With that being the case, my mind has not stopped churning since I set down the date [...]

Mindless Knitting to Soothe Jangled Nerves

It’s not May yet, but I couldn’t resist a little stash busting and autopilot garter stitch. I had half a ball of Lorna’s Laces Lion and Lamb left over from My So-Called Scarf, so I had to do something with it. I can’t let that kind of money get thrown out! So this will be [...]
Copious Amounts of Crap

I have two types of boxes in the garage: kitchen junk and bedroom/ knickknack junk. Last fall I cleaned out my bedroom and closet, and now my room is fairly void of pictures and whathaveyou, just books and craft supplies. So yesterday, when I went through half of my boxes in the garage and found [...]
Now, what was I talking about?

So I’ve made up my mind, and now is as good of a time as any to let you in on a secret.
Things haven’t been going so well out here in the land of the blazing sun. I moved back to Las Vegas two and a half years ago, after I graduated college and found [...]
Clue

I was going to write about my bread baking adventures, but the URL isn’t www.staceysbakingtragedies.com now is it? My mind is really elsewhere anyway. Big goin’s on big big goin’s on. I’ll let you know a little later. Instead I leave you with a clue and the song in my head right now.

There will be no living with me now.

I’m feeling a little triumphant and smug.
That’s a grafted cable you are looking at. It’s not perfect, it’s an interruption in the pattern, but it’s seamed and it’s not falling apart, there are no holes and to the naked eye, there’s nothing wrong with it.
I promised to share my research, which was not so much [...]
Month of Finishing Soldiers On

I’ve made some noticeable progress on the SBC, so I thought I’d let you take a peek.
I finished the hood, all but seaming it together, and the bottom ribbing. I managed a full three inches of ribbing, and I didn’t lose my mind with the monotony, as I thought I would. I chose to do [...]
Eat your veggies!

I’ve taken to crocheting the foods I can’t yet eat. This mushy food diet is messing with my head.
Well, I could eat a tomato if I wanted to, but I want it on a nice bed of fresh greens and spinach. So no go, yet. I will have you, Tomato! I will make you mine!
The [...]
Muffins? I got your muffins right here!

Finally, muffin success.
Applesauce Muffins, from scratch, from How It All Vegan a.k.a. The Bible. This recipe is so stupid simple, any monkey with a measuring cup could make it. That’s a good thing, since that’s about the extent of my baking prowess. The recipe was for 6 large muffins, but I was all paranoid from [...]
No muffin for you!

Today my sister took pity on my broke ass and took me to the grocery store to stock up on my new and exciting bland mushy food diet. Yum. I am so weak it’s not even funny. I was flagging at the end of the trip and about to pass out by the time we [...]
