sisterly genius.
My sister made me these incredible 10-inch peyote stitch beaded earrings. Aren’t they to die for? I wish I had more fancy dress places to wear them. More beading (of mine) here.

gifted to me: reading log.
As most of my friends know, I’m kind of a book slut. I spend too much time getting lost in a book and so it made perfect sense that my Mum gift me this glorious “What I Read” journal, which she picked up on a recent trip to Minnesota. The book is sweet and simple;…

gifted, 11.9
I made some fingerless bicycling mitts for a friend in a gorgeous pumpkin-ish colorway as a thank you. Crocheted up in a tube, I used the soft as butter and general favorite fiber (of mine!) Malabrigo Merino Worsted for these and I’m fairly pleased with the results. Maybe I can convince the recipient to model…

dawn’s peasy, 9.28
A Presto Chango Cardigan for Dawn’s new bundle, in a gorgeous Alpaca wool in a turquoise blue. This is the third Presto I’ve made–I think the fully removable front panel is perfect for a Mum struggling with many over the head clothes.

Wow…you’ve got a mighty big package, there…?
Derek “Devo” G. and I, circa Christmas 2007, New York. Can I please wax poetic of the brilliance of one of my closest friends? Call thy Derek M. Guillemette, affectionately known at times as D-Rock, or perchaps the all-time favorite and sticker, Devo. Today I came home to find a giant package sitting in my…

“Nose, Nose, Nose Nose! And who have thee that jolly red nose? Cinnamon and Ginger, Nutmegs and Cloves, And that, gave me my jolly red nose”
Yesterday, my cohort and I had an afternoon of craft-up and flick watching, and while finishing off some cabled fingerless mitts I’ve been neglecting for some time, I also decided to whip up a loaf of my by now famous Cinnamon Toast for Laura’s roommate Ashley, whose birthday is today. It made my entire apartment…
