I had trouble sleeping last night, tossed and turned. And woke up early this morning to some yappy dog going off outside. GEEZ! Thought I heard my cell phone beep, got up, checked, nope. Settled back into bed. Just as I was drifting off, I heard Greenday (dooo you have the time, to listen to me whine…), I don’t think I touched the floor between the bedroom and living room to grab my phone. It was the staffing agency woman, calling to tell me that I was the top candidate for the job I interviewed for on Tuesday. More »« Less

When I was a little girl, my favorite color was purple. Other girls liked pink. And barbies. But I was not so much a fan of the Barbie - unless it was to crudely hand sew clothing for her using scraps of fabric my grandmother gave me. I liked purple. And unicorns. And pegasuses. Pegasi? And all things Lisa Frank (I had her bubble gum machine patterned bed set OH YES I DID!) Yeah, I was super cool as a kid. But then I outgrew all that. Right about the time my mom decided to surprise me by painting my room purple and stenciling unicorns, moons, and stars around the windows. Thanks mom! I got too cool (HA!) for purple and unicorns. Instead I was drawn to brown. And…more brown. And black. And dark greens. Pft. Teen angst, expressed in colorways. More »« Less
So some of you may be asking “Does ESC still do anything crafty or fiber related?”
OK, a few of you. Not most of you. Most of you just shut up and keep reading 
and the answer is YES, I DO! The summer heat has sucked away much of my knitting mojo, but with the recent surrender to the gods of air conditioning, I suddenly got hit with some serious spinning mojo. I had been working very slowly on some fiber I bought last year (but only actually got a few months ago) from copper pot woolies. I love the colors, but for some reason, I really fought with this fiber. It might have been a little felted, or maybe just stickier than I’m used to. But I still managed to spin a fairly decent yarn with it. I finished spinning and started plying last night, and then finished plying this afternoon. More »« Less
I wish my life were more interesting lately, but it’s not. Work is work. Kev’s job is still sucking right now. Finding better jobs is not going so well. Bleah. More »« Less
