    I love the shot of the yarn. So simple, but very cool. Did you use a light box? I'm thinking of making one for myself.

    Havoc looks warm all bundled up. I like how his eyes are smiling still.

    I love the photos! I love how you titled your 365 books.

    Did you do one for each boy?

    Ooh, specially interested in your 365 book :-) I'm just setting out on the process for the first time through 2010 so have a while yet before I need to decide how to print mine, but I'd welcome any tips! x

    I totally love your photos! I made fingerless gloves one -- it turned out to be more of a project than I had bargained for, but fun!

    There's something about the vibrant color and simplicity of that first shot that really gets me. Lovely!

    Funny how many of us like that shot of the yarn and the part-made glove. There's something in the colours and set-up that makes it really stand out.
    I love the dinos - as always!
    The photo books look great. I'm just discovering this way to display my pictures - and maybe some of my work too.

    Neat shots! I never thought about putting a 365 book together! When I make it through this year I'm going to do that! Thanks for the idea. =)

    All great shots, I agree with most of the other commenters, I love that first shot. But got a good giggle out of the last with just the eyes peering through!
    Great set!

    My son had to get a balaclava for his Kilimanjaro trip - remember we are warm weather dwellers - and he just loves it for some reason - cracks me up.

    I never got the appeal of fingerless gloves until this year. I kept thinking WTH? Why would I pay for a pair of gloves when half of them are gone? But then I wore them and they really do make it so much easier to do simple tasks while keeping my hands warm!

Alphanumeric Blog Hop

I thought I was too late to sign up for it because I was a couple days behind on reading Mel’s blog, but then she contacted me and asked if I could do a post about punctuation. Punctuation? Yes. Punctuation. or perhaps I mean: Yes…punctuation. The first response is clear cut. Yes. It is about punctuation. The second is slightly less certain.  Yeeessss. I suppose it is about punctuation, of all things. It’s kinda rambly & disjointed but still, you must admit punctuation is the focus. Punctuation is very important when communicating on line – we have no sarcasm font or snarky response font – so punctuation helps fill in the gap. At least for me. I use ellipses … all the time. Sometimes they mean “and yes, here is the punch line” or “here is the sarcastic bit”. Usually they just express a general dubiousness about the whole thing, such as in my example, which is in line with their accepted use to suggest faltering or fragmented speech accompanied by confusion, inse

Mayhem decided to take up knitting this week. He found he had plenty of time to knit in the car while we ran errands Oops! Dropped a stitch The dinosaurs were very busy the other afternoon. Once again they requested muffins and they pitched in to make them. Though there was some conflict over who got to stir. Rumors of muffins attracted other dinosaurs And there was some more conflict over control of the bowl The winners circle the bowl in a victory dance But they shouldn't celebrate too soon, because over on the kitchen table trouble is brewing. I'm told they are just getting ready to cut the muffins into equal parts so everyone has a share. but I'm dubious. visit Lotus at www.sarcasticmom.com for more Weekly Winners

Revisiting the past

I went to the Maryland Renaissance Festival this weekend.  I went with some friends. It was our annual coven outing so we went without spouses or children. I have not been unencumbered at the Fair since 2002. It was liberating!  It also made me very nostalgic. The first store we went into was a pottery shop. It was the people who made this bowl. I bought it from them in 1997 It is currently on my kitchen island full of recently picked apples. They had been a guest vendor in 1997. They had a single weekend spot in a temporary pavilion near the jousting arena. Over the years they progressed to a tiny shop on a side corner to a shop in the back row, to this one, on the main road. The temporary pavilion is long gone, replaced with a permanent building. The next shop was Catskill Mountain Moccasins. They've been in the same place since we started coming to the Fair. I gave them almost an entire month's salary in 1998 in exchange for the custom made boots I was actually w
