To blogging? Definitely Y-E-S!
From vacation? A big NOOOOOOOO!
But life goes on. And nowadays, money is ever sooo important to have in order to take a vacation. There’s always a need for it….in big chunks if it may. heehee! So back to work to replenish the near-empty tiny coffer that now only have a few nickels [...]
No Motivation
Posted in Rest & Recreation, general, knitting on Saturday, February 28, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Been sick lately and the lingering blase feeling just got me in the dumps. No motivation to blog, even when I got lots of materials to write about. I mean LOTS!
Sorry folks. This a what a bi-polar person is like. One moment, sooo lively and the next, just not the person you’d like to be [...]
Falling Leaves Top, 2009KIP#1

The recipient to the Red Falling Leaves dress(?) is someone who’s birthday falls at the [...]

Socks ~ I have joined the sockies’ bandwagon in this popular craze.
Beanie hats ~ I have accumulated a whole bunch intending to sell them; but I’ll keep making them for later sale.
Bags/Purses [...]
Blog Semi-Hibernating?
Posted in Knit in Progress (KIP), fitness, giveaways, health, knitting on Thursday, February 5, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
It’s now February! Gosh, January is over and hadn’t blogged the last half of it. I have three big excuses why:
1. I was doing a couple of 6-night shift work back to back. Very exhausting! And made succeeding work and personal schedules get all whacked-up and topsy-turvy from then on. I’m getting too old for [...]
