I haven’t blogged for the past few days, but I have not been idle. Discriminating viewers will notice that I have changed my blog’s template, and I am still in the midst of fiddling with colors. M, alpha geek that he is, gets so excited …

I put on my dark berry T-shirt and couldn’t find any earrings to wear with it. I found dozens of pairs of earrings, but I’d worn them all before, many times. I was suffering from earring ennui. It was time to retire to the Bead …

Help! Of the six people I know of who read this blog, 2 are master sweater knitters (yes, Mom, I’m including you in the 2!). I am not sure I have done the neck shaping correctly, although I can’t think of another way to interpret …
