Even though my computer has crashed *again* and has made me a bit gunshy of relying on technology, that doesn’t mean I don’t love it still. But I do wish it would hurry up and get out of the shop already! I’ve been taking heaps of photographs in the interim, even though they are currently trapped in my digital camera waiting for me to upload them to my soon-to-be-fixed computer!

A few projects that I was working on have now come into the public domain, most notably the Queen of Hearts show at the Paper Boat Boutique in Madison, Wisconsin (even the show has come down, the digital pics are up to stay!) and a freelance piece on the state of the wool industry in the UK in the Spring issue of Vogue Knitting! The piece for the Queen of Hearts show is called “Being Queen Makes Me Powerful, but the State of Being Female Makes Me Weak,” and the article is part of a much longer piece that I am working on…

Also online is the article from Pistil about craftivism and me! Eeeep!

The return to the cubicle has upped my online clicking time (for some reason being online and not typing gives the illusion of being busy), but decreased my actual writing time, so here are a few of my favorite new-found sites that have had my imagination and mind on overdrive lately:

Shelterrific: makes me wish I was at home making things instead of deskbound
Threadymade: Sonja makes Sewlaroids along with other cool things.
Custom Serenade*: the Song-a-Day Podcast almost makes me wish I could play guitar
Mike Roig’s sculpture: he lives up the street from me and has the coolest front yard on the block
Organic Gardening: now that I have a garden, I need to know when to sow seeds!
