Hiking
Chris and I went hiking in early November (has it really been that long since I posted?); we went to Red Top Mountain one Sunday afternoon. I needed to get outside, and we both need to make more of an effort to get out of the house.

Kitschy cool
I like reusing. I also have a soft spot in my heart for kitsch (which you know because you’ve been to thrift stores with me oh-too-many times). That’s why this Craftzine.com blog caught my eye. I love this hot pink owl. I love this gnome. I NEED them in my life. Mostly, I love the [...]

Worried.
Maybe cats are good practice to having kids someday. Think about it: They get sick with stupid things like cold, eye infections and ear infections and you have to make a call when they get bad enough to have to go to the doctor. Not to mention that they can’t tell you what they want [...]

Sculptures of food
Last week, out of no where, there were little squares of space chained off in my work building’s lobby. Inside the squares were pallets of canned goods. Everyone who worked for the building was busy, so I didn’t get a chance to ask was it was about.
The next day, ta-da!
Sculptures made from the cans! Turns [...]

Knitting update
I finished the shawl I mentioned in this post. Here’s the whole thing:
I started this in April or May of this year, and for a while, it was a slog. It took me a long time to learn the pattern repeats, and I had to count the stitches after every row to make sure I [...]

Halloween
We didn’t go out for Halloween, but we made dinner for a few friends. Well, Chris made dinner. I mostly cut up a few veggies. There were short ribs:
These were seared and then braised in wine, tomato paste and mirepoix. I know you don’t eat meat now, but these smelled amazing. When people came over, [...]

The black herd
I found out a couple days ago that there’s a problem with having only black cats: When the power goes out, you can’t see them in the shadows. You can only hear them. And it’s a little scary, especially when one is known to attack.
Tuesday, LA had high winds — at one point, someone told [...]
