What's On My Hooks, Needles, and Spindles:

Mother Bear Project--the website, for info on making bears.

Finished:

Nothing this time.

In Progress:

Easter Egg Entrelac scarf

Random Entrelac Scarf....just because....the recipe is here. Also, Entre to Entrelac book.

My LYS: Creative Ewe Studios

The Gryffindor Vest

Several pairs of socks:

The "Stuck in Traffic" first sock is done!

The Pink Cascade Socks--still creeping along on that first sock because of all the entrelac.

Nancy's socks in Paton's

Gray Dawn--another Collie scarf for the Terhune Sunnybank memorial

The OHM Shawl by Michelle Miller. No, I have neither finished not forgotten this one...

Or this one:

Eleanor Scarf--spun from Eleanor's undercoat and knitted in my favored checkerboard pattern.

Dizzy Blondes: 
Baron helpfully continues to blow coat! A bit about the eternal issues of spinning doghair. Weaving it: so far it has worked better as weft than as warp. As warp, the hair did not stand up well to friction from the heddle.

Strategy:

Win-win solutions: the end of all good negotiations.

The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People
The Happiness Advantage

Put a Lid On It:

No, not really...

My favorite books:

The Joy of Pickling
The Ball Book of Preserving Foods
The Joy of Cooking
The Perfect Scoop

Aw Shoot!
Still in the midst of walking daily for 30 minutes for 30 days.

Make YES Happen

Something I Really Like:

The care and feeding of gift cards: my method for saving up with gift cards.

Blather:
