The Water Makes My Fur Feel Funny

It is suppose to rain on my birthday, so I went to the beach with my Mum and Scooter today. Scooter loves the beach.

He whines in the car when we arrive. And the minute we are on the sand, all he wants to do is run. Run, run, run.


He doesn't really like to get wet though. I think it is because the water makes his fur feel funny.

Thanks for the fun day little buddy.

Pursuing My Fiber Passion

I have finally settled myself enough to start working on projects. Today was especially exciting because I finally made the decision to not actively look for a job for six months. Instead I'll be working on knitting patterns and promoting them. It is a leap of faith that something will come of it. But in the least, I will be pursuing my passion.
Of course, none of this would happen if I hadn't finally gotten my room in order. The very best part of my room is The Fiber Wall. It is filled with all my dyed fiber, handspun, and fiber books/magazines. (All the natural colored fiber is in my closet.)


Scooter use to live at the end of my bed, but after shifting some bookcases, he was relocated to under the table. He even has his own picture above his bed.


Although I think he prefers my bed. The picture above my bed is an oil painting I did at University. And yes, it is a Katamari painting. Nanananananana.


And finally, pattern writing headquarters. It is conveniently located right next to my bed, so I can work in pajamas if I so desire. Here's to a hopefully productive next six months. Any advice or well wishes would be fully appreciated.

Birthday Wishlist 2011

I've been spending time every day unpacking and purging all the things I seemed to have aquired while at university. I was thinking to myself, "I don't need anything for my birthday, I have enough". While that is very true, I'm still going to write up a birthday wishlist. Why? Because it is fun to dream a little.

A new lens for my camera. I know I just got the camera, and the kit lens is wonderful, but with the direction I'm going with my photography, I think the Canon 50mm f 1.4 lens could be a real asset.

I've been interested in Knitwear Design Workshop: The Comprehensive Guide to Handknits for awhile. I've been interested in knitwear design in general, and I think this book might move me along a bit.

And of course any batt by Moonrover. I love all her work. Spinning her fiber is always a lovely experience.

Of course if you don't buy the pattern, Grumpy Teenage Bear will stare you down and sigh heavily.

Project Restyle

I've been fixing things up regularly. Little bit of mending here. Little bit of touching up there. But when it comes to electronics, I am much less likely to try to fix something. I think it would be fair to say that we have all been well programmed to dump out old electronics in favor of snazzy new ones. I have a pair of headphones that I've been using for nearly five years now. The foam was worn away, a bit that holds the headphones in place had snapped. But the electronic components were still working well.

After reading about Project Restyle on Elsie's blog, A Beautiful Mess, I thought I'd breathe new life into my old headphones. A little bit of knitting and they are as good as new. They might be even more comfortable than they were before.

Furbaby

I've been rather busy with my move. But rest assured, I will have lovely pictures of my new room and the "fiber wall" soon enough. Until then, enjoy some Scooter pictures.
