What a strange day. These are mostly perceptions on my part, but still feels very real to me. Doubted, praised and undermined at work, all in the same day. Then, protected from being affected by my coworker losing her job. I felt completely misunderstood, but since it was such a wonky day, I decided to take the leave and try to be productive. ‘Thought i’d get home and be alone and wasn’t. Went for a short bike ride. ‘Thought i’d get home and have company and didn’t. Passed out early. Woke up and banished to get my TAD done (thanks for trying to get me in the spirit – you know who you are). Sat in front of this for about an hour feeling completely uninspired(well, okay, so i started with a pretty clean area, pulled a bunch of things out of their place and ended up like this):
I really did try. I at least wanted to document my effort – there is really just nothing left in me today.

Wonky Day
so, i’m still working through this garden wire and have a few extra bears lying around. what to do with the rest of that now that a bracelet and earrings are done? a ring of course!
and now, for my closeup:
but can i show you how i put it together? (it’s a bit blurry – i blame it on my shaky iphone moving my hand around)
(thanks to the beautiful lou for modeling day 10)
Happy Weekend
I don’t think I can keep up posting the same thing to 2 different sites (and feel good about using up disk space on 2 blogs), so I have added TAD (Thing A Day) to my links. Please visit Thing A Day to see what I’ve made.
changed my mind. from this day forward, i’ll post and copy post instead (i might change my mind again)
thing a day 4 – hello, friend
so, i went to bike oven today and made some new friends. here’s one: jared nielsen. although he is not part of the nielsen family i don’t think he would mind sharing his opinions.
YAYY, BLOG!!!

- came up with my own mac and cheese recipe:
- made a sock monkey:
- made a cape
- made a pincushion
- got our meat slicer (ya, shabu!)
- watched a lot of craft shows and cleaned up the dvr to only record the ones i liked (sorry, sue hausmann – i will pick you up again when i am more advanced and can follow you – i am just currently overwhlemed by your amazing skill level)
- sewing machine died (and oogling a bunch of new ones while i borrow my mom’s spare – what a horrible time to break down – just as i am actually starting to use it)
- got a road bike (yayy!)
- fish eye soup (soooo good!)
- started going to bike oven
- made some knitting needles and lived to tell about it
