In which Dr. Mel’s going to Iceland next month, so he had to do some stash reduction. The good news is that Mel, in a sudden stash-reduction fit, sent me two boxes of yarn:
In which I indulge in a little pre-vacation bitching. Don’t even read this, my babies! Save yourselves! Run away! Feet I sit cross-legged in my office chair. This is because I am, by nature, a floor-sitter and I don’t really like chairs. Sometimes when I sit like this my feet go to sleep. Right now […]
