As always it's feast or famine around here. A gazillion posts at once and then nothing for over two weeks. I've managed to get through another set of holidays, even if "Catzilla" decided to crush the villagers like in a "B" list horror movie!

And look what she did to it! It looks like the village snow has now melted just like the real-life stuff outside in the balmy spring weather we're experiencing. We actually set a new record of 62F yesterday, when we are usually well below freezing at this time of year. While most people are thrilled with the break in the weather, DH is sulking. No snowmobiling, and even the base is gone, which means we'll need several good dumpings of snow before he (we) can get out riding again.

So what else? I've been completely obsessed with my latest DVDs. DH got me the latest (and last) season of Gilmore Girls as well as Little Mosque on the Prairie. I love those shows! I'm also working my way through the latest seasons of Nip/Tuck. Still waiting in the wings for me is the entire series of The Sopranos. I much prefer watching TV this way, no commercials and you watch at your own pace. The downside is that with my obsessive personality my own pace can mean watching 8 episodes in a row. Great for relaxing and down-time, not so great for housework, cooking, or anything else in real life. Oh well. The kids know how to feed themselves.

But I'll need to put them on the back burner for now. The DVDs, not the kids. School starts tonight for me again. I'm taking 3 classes this term. That's a little crazy, I know. I just figured if I'm going to speed up the "degree" process a little I'd be better off doing that while I'm still taking first year (and therefore theoretically "easier") classes.

Could a post possibly be any more pathetically boring? For those of you that have hung in this long, here's a cute kitty pic of Tabby in her kitty-bed. I bought a wicker cat bed that she won't use, but she likes to curl up in front of the heat vent so I moved the bed pad here. Now she loves it and I can't get her out of it!

I have no doubt that if I had decorated for Christmas, Bailey would have done something to mess it up as well. Cats just have to get in the middle of every darn thing you do, don't they?

3 classes? Yikes! Good luck!

We have almost no snow. Green grass everywhere and all those with trail permits sobbing away! It's supposed to get colder and snow. We hope!

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 even though there was email communication from

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

Name That Bike!

Image
I've decided my bike needs a name. I've been developing quite a relationship with it, and it seems too impersonal to just call it "the bike". So I need some help. Any ideas? Maybe Gretchen? or Gloria? Something else? Why don't I give you some background. I used to have a really hard time bike riding because of my rheumatoid arthritis. It's mostly in my wrists, and the conventional way of bike riding where you are leaning on the handlebars just put too much pressure on them. It was too painful. So about ten years ago Canadian Tire came out with the retro cruiser-style bike and I bought one. The cruiser has you sitting more upright without putting all your weight on your hands and wrists. The handlebars are curved back towards you in a much more comfortable position (my wrists don't really bend) that regular straight bars. It only had six gears instead of the 21 that everyone else was riding, but I found the six plenty for the type of riding I d
