Embracing Uncertainty

I’m baaaaa-ack! Hello, world, once again! I’ve been trying to write this post for 1.5 years. The vision I’ve had to stand proudly before you, laying out a grand plan of exactly what I’m going to post about, on a wonderfully steady posting schedule, with a long list of tantalizing photos and snippets of things

Cat walk! Haircut! Paul Bunyan! Oh my!

This post is a bunch of random photos of recent happenings in my life.  First is a series of photos from the first time my cats followed me on a walk! The first walk, I got two streets over before they got skittish and wanted to go back home.  The second time, I got a

The Stars of Border War

Moira brought three kittens to Border War, a local SCA event.  They were definitely the stars of the day!  This post is entirely gratuitous kitten photos with me and my friends. In case you’re wondering, this patched hood is the same linen hood that was in this post of me blacksmithing.  It has worn down

Project 365-ish: Days 8 – 30

Well, I’ve already missed nine days out of the first thirty on Project 365.  I’m trying a new thing this year, though: sometimes is better than never. For example, for years people have been telling me that I need to do daily stretches for my knee problems, and what always happens?  I do them really

Project 365: Days 1 – 7

One of my favorite bloggers, Kaylah of The Dainty Squid, challenged herself to take a photo every day of the year last year.  She called it Project 365.  Now she’s challenging others to do so, too.  It sounds fun, so I’m going to try and do this.  🙂  Here’s my first week! ~*~*~*~*~*~ 365:1 I
