Yes, dear readers, I’ve been silent for a while, not for the lack of things to write about, but because of things being so busy. Work is, despite the insanity, awesome. I’m enjoying having my very own library to play with, fix, and make better. And I’m going to enjoy it while I can. I … Continue reading »

The button conundrum
Every now and then, you get somebody request you knit something – a commission. Once in a while, you get a request that has you in stunned disbelief. I had one of those in January. It was requester more than the request that had me checking to see if hell had actually frozen over, or … Continue reading »
The things she could do…
Finished one job. Back in the library on Wednesday. Breathing a huge sigh of relief. It’s a massive responsibility. But I will have accomplished something I have aspired to, and damnit, I made it! A library manager before I turned 30. Who would have believed that? (Well there were a couple of tutors at uni … Continue reading »
Ground control to Major Tom…
Very quick. Before the road work at eleven thirty at night drives me insane. I wish they’d inform those living in the area that they’d be working all night before they actually do. There’s a new job on the horizon. I’m so very excited. Actually. Excited doesn’t even begin to cover it. I’ll let you … Continue reading »

About 2 years ago, I packed up shop in Canberra and headed for suburban Melbourne for a few months while I dabbled in fantasy and fairy tale as a visiting academic at Monash and had riotous fun with the ineffable Gidgetknits, with whom I managed to have more riotous fun in the South Island this … Continue reading »
The countdown has begun…
… this time next week, I’ll be somewhere between Sydney and the ‘Gong, thawing out of after watching the Brumbies play the ‘Tahs, and catching up with DrK, whom I haven’t seen in close on 2 years now, and I’m very excited to be spending time with. She’s been an absolute rock, even with the … Continue reading »
Putting my grand master plan into motion…
Remember, gentle reader, when I declared my boring? I was chastised quite soundly from all quarters for saying that – but I did say you’d think me silly. There was a caveat. But after my admission of being beige, I came up with this brilliant master plan, but I haven’t quite figured the last part … Continue reading »
Books, berets, and banal reviews – oh my!
So I’ve got Jim Bryson and Missy Higgins on iTunes, a bed full off books and yarn and needles and patterns, and my second helping of mac’n’cheese. It is a good Sunday evening. I mentioned something last post about books, and I will deliver. I had a good Easter weekend finishing not one, not two, … Continue reading »
