Ugh. I Scare my Kitty.

As is often the case I have good news and bad news. First the good news. WARNING: MAJOR BRAGGING AHEAD!!!

Exams are done. And marks are in. I got the mark I was hoping for in one class, but not quite in the other. However, even though I didn't get the mark I had hoped for in that second class, I ended up with the TOP FINAL MARK IN THE ENTIRE CLASS! WOOHOO! In a class dealing with computers with 250 students mainly my kids' age who have grown up with this stuff, I'm feeling pretty pumped. :) This old girl still has some good stuff in her yet.

Then there's the bad news. I scare my kitty. I'm sitting here watching a very intense episode of my favourite show, Coronation Street, and I called Tabby over to sit with me. She finally deemed me worthy of listening to and even came over near where I'm sitting. Of course the closer she got the more exitedly I was with the "come on Kitty, come on!" with a crazy grin on my face. Needless to say she started looking at me with trepidation on HER face and... dare I say it... horror! She turned and stalked away, turning once to look at me with that look of "she's nuts!" still on her face. Well I just can't please everybody. Sigh. But did I mention Coronation Street has a widget? ;)

Wow! Congratulations on the exams!! I knew you'd do a great job. And it involved technology and computer stuff? I would have failed miserably.

I scare the crap out of Bailey all the time too.

My Bionic Gear Bag - Pattern Review (long and pic heavy)

Image
The Completed Bionic Gear Bag EDIT: Link to the second bag I made almost seven years later   Well I finally finished my Bionic Gear Bag .  What can I say?  I laughed, I cried... This pattern makes a very cute bag and overall I am happy with it.  On the other hand I did run into some hiccups and perhaps my timing could have been better with purchasing this pattern.  The Bionic Gear Bag was designed by Sally AKA Ripstitcher .  She had purchased a similar pattern from Craftsy , made it, reviewed it on her blog, designed her own version that met her needs better, and put it up for sale on Craftsy.  The internets went crazy and  major drama ensued . Now I will be honest and say that the first pattern caught my eye in the first place because I saw Sally's review of it.  When I then saw the design Sally came up with I thought it would better suit my needs, so I bought it.  Unfortunately when I bought it the drama was at its height and e...

New Look 6735 - The Dedicated Post

Image
I have decided to put up a dedicated post for New Look 6735 .  Because I have made so many versions of it, it really doesn't require a new post every time I make one.  This will make it easy for me to track my projects with this pattern.  I have made this up now as the 3/4 sleeve tee, the cap sleeve tee, a sleeveless version and the cardigan (although heavily modified).  The fact that I have certainly got my money's worth out of this pattern makes the cheap bastard in me very happy!  So here we go (with newest versions on top): With narrower neckline Blog post Blog post Blog post Blog post Blog post Blog Post Blog post Blog post Blog post Blog post Blog post Blog post Blog post

Holiday Knitting

Image
I never did post a pic of the finished Christmas knitting. Yes, this is what took ALL that time to knit up (I must be a really slow knitter!). I've got two pairs of socks from Briggs and Little wool, an angora scarf, and the pièce de résistance, the Wallace and Grommit hat! DH asked me to buy the pattern (a child's sweater pattern) when I saw it on Ebay, but he doesn't wear sweaters. Then a couple of weeks before Christmas I had an ahah moment and used the pattern to make a hat. He's very proud and doesn't take it off for anything! Well, maybe when he takes a shower, but that's about it. Then DD wanted a body hugging sweater out of the never-ending cone of eyelash wool I picked up at the Spinrite tent sale. So I've been busy the last week making this for her. I'd have her model it but she's been down for the count with a bad case of the flu and I don't want to make her move unnecessarily without my umbrella handy. This is the cone before ...
