Besides yarn, what do you think makes me more happy to have?
…
…
…
Well……
THIS IS ABSOLUTE HEAVEN!
To have, AT LAST!, real FLAMENCO SHOES. And perfect fit to boot.
For so long, I have been relying on these.
See the difference in the quality and look between these and the Flamenco shoes?
These basic ballroom shoes were able to get me into all [...]

That life is wonderful after all.
And to me, the occasion that leads up to…
CHRISTMAS!

I found this description from eHarmony, of what a windbag is.
The Windbag
Yakkity Yak. The Windbag is the woman who never shuts up, barely stopping to breathe. Seeming only concerned about what is going on in her life and sharing her prattling insights, this Chatty Cathy also has Drama-Queen tendencies (not good).
The Windbag’s rambling renditions drive men [...]

This is a knitting blog site after all.
Can’t tell you what it is, yet.
I made it a point not to brag about something I cannot show an end product for. Let’s just say, remember that stupid mistake I made of the Cap Shawl? That’s why.
And don’t worry. I have been knitting. There’re 5 KIPs and [...]

…is Seraphim Falls, the movie. See Register-Guard article about it. I saw the movie, but it was quite violent. Gorgeous, gorgeous scenery though.
Let’s continue on with the Fall Drive Through the McKenzie, shall we?
The Sahalie, Koosah and Tamolitch Falls were to be our end point of the trip. One can hike all three falls through a beautiful, meandering [...]

The Northwest does not follow distinct four seasonal changes. Well, it does and it doesn’t. Let me explain. As much as temperatures change, typically from 80-90 degrees in summer and 30-45 in fall/winter, the dry and wet seasons are far more distinct. Dry Summer is very short, from July through the end of September. Rain, fog, freezing rain, and [...]

I’ve never tried a crayfish or crawfish before. I’ve always wanted to try it. Crayfish looks like a small version of lobster.
The other day, on my irregular food shopping day… irregular, because I food-shop on impulse; that is, when I run out of food to cook is when I go shopping… I happened upon cooked [...]

15!
He made it!
This boy recently had a birthday.
We actually don’t know when he was born. He was left at the Humane Society. This gorgeous, sweet-tempered (to humans), adorable Manx cat was left at the cattery. At least, he was not left to fend for himself; or worse, killed for being unwanted.
Anyhoo(t), he is here with us. [...]

Okay, here are the photos to the 150th Post Giveaway.
Remember, I’m only giving away things that were hand-crafted in Oregon. With this in mind, I made it a point to not just buy from these creative people but get to know them and their crafts as well. It’s really fun. Besides, it’s free advertisement for [...]

This is my 110th posting!
There’s a need to find out who my blog cruisers are. I hate to call them blog lurkers, like it’s something illegal to check someone else’s website. Mind you, if these people do not want anyone to see their blog, they will make it private.
In order to know these blog cruisers, I need to [...]
