SRP End of June

Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister, Gregory Maguire, 368 pages. For once, I liked a Maguire book.* In late May or early June, I read Girl with a Pearl Earring, so I couldn’t help but notice some similarities between the two books.

Posted by limedragon | Filed under contemplation
Black/white photos, and featurettes about several designers (eg: Kaffe Fassett, Kim Hargreaves, Sasha Kagan, etc.).
Sweaters or cardi only, and mostly oversized (matches the book, I guess?). Lots of intarsia, some aran/cables.
Great guy sweater: “Men’s Herringbone Sweater” by Artwork (Jane and Patrick Gottelieb), page 19.

Lace Poetry
Posted by limedragon | Filed under knitting, sweaters
I will be honest. I cringed inwardly when I saw the topic for The Amazing Lace Challenge #3. I enjoy reading poetry now and then. But writing poetry? That’s definitely a challenge for me.

I would have posted sooner about my birthday but I was overtaken with a fierce attack of purging (the organize and simplify kind!). I finally sat down and took some pictures today.

There’s a Birthday meme floating around blogland. Look up your birthday (month and day) at Wikipedia to see what happened on that day. The number varies, but usually you’re to post three of each: events, births and deaths. There’s no way I will be able to limit myself to just 3 each, so I’ll list [...]

Zodiac Garden
Posted by limedragon | Filed under general
In a previous phase of my life, I created letterstyles for use with Incredimail. I bookmarked many artists’ websites because some artists will grant permission for their images to be used in email stationery.
Last weekend, I came across an artist’s site I’d bookmarked and there was new stuff, including a Zodiac Garden series.

Summer Reading Program 2006 Early June
Posted by limedragon | Filed under books, refrigerator dishes
I found the SRP through Chris and signed up. My goal is to read 40 books by August 31. I’ve always been a voracious reader; Mom says I started reading when I was 3 years old. Then, I loved comic books (Archie and the gang, Uncle $crooge (my favorite) and the rest of the Disney [...]
