You Are Here

In case you are wondering where I am, look here. I can’t say I am in love with Blogger. There are some things that WordPress does better.
Moodiness

Hi Folks,
The transition to Blogger has begun. I posted photos and details of my Mood jacket here.
Thanks for reading!!
Flickr Find

I found this lovely little embroidery while poking around on Flickr. This would be lovely on a little tee, a skirt, a little girl’s dress, etc. I love the simplicity and the beautiful colors. It does not take great embroidery skills, but clearly this person has a great eye for design.
Bank on It
Posted by: mermaids on: 17 June, 09
We use the credit union at Hubski’s office, but Bank of America is seriously trying lure me in to open an account. A Hello Kitty checking account would be fantastic. Aren’t those checks adorable? Granted, I could order Hello Kitty checks from an independent check printing company. (We do most of our banking online [...]
Finish Line

I finished the book, The Hour I First Believed by Wally Lamb. Fabulous. For once, waking up at 3:30 a.m. was not an entirely bad thing. Fair warning, when you get towards the end, have the tissues handy.
C’s shirt is finished. I sewed on the buttons by hand because I wanted to watch something [...]

Festivities were put on hold. Hubski is out of town. C is still recovering. J is still [...]
Cries and Ties
Posted by: mermaids on: 18 February, 09
Something evil was indeed brewing. It has boiled over in my ear. All of you moms and dads with little babies, take great pity on them when they have an ear infection. They have every right to cry. It is painful, with a capital “P.” Heat and pressure helps, so hold those babies close.
Since I [...]
Patience is a Virtue
Posted by: mermaids on: 3 January, 09
It is a virtue that I do not have. Lounging around in bed all day has gotten old. Really, really old. On days when life is crazy, lounging in bed sounds glorious. It is only fun when it is a choice, not a mandate.
I know soon my knee will be good enough for me [...]
Labor of Love
Posted by: mermaids on: 28 December, 08
The members of the Ottobre-English group on Yahoo Groups have long wanted a searchable database of the patterns. Many of us have a large collection of magazines. It takes quite a bit time to look through each magazine to find a certain pattern or a specific type of pattern. For quite some time, I have [...]
