little bit of crazy leaking out

we bought the farm

Ginger — Fri, 09 Apr 2010 17:06:56 +0000

After eight months, the farm is finally ours. We put in our first offer in July of last year, it was a short-sale, and we waited and waited. No response from the bank because of issues with the agent representing the sellers. In December it was foreclosed on and went [...]

holiday shopping

Ginger — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 22:11:58 +0000

Hubby and I spent the morning shopping. We went to, shudder, the mall, and considering how close it is to Christmas, we weren’t fighting crowds. I did point out that most normal people were at work and perhaps that was why we were so lucky.

Shopping went quite quickly, in and out . . [...]

I’ve been knitting dishcloths, lots and lots of dishcloths. This seems to happen every year at about this time, I have no idea why. This year the dishcloth knitting came as a need to knit something other than garter. I’d been working on the garterstitch blanket and just couldn’t take it anymore. These little dishcloths [...]

I was able to attend the Oregon Flock and Fiber Festival in Canby again this year. Wow, it was a lot bigger than I remember two years ago. I forgot to send off my class registration so I didn’t take any classes this year, but I did still have to be there on Friday since [...]

Tour de Fleece, day 1

Ginger — Sun, 05 Jul 2009 16:00:05 +0000

After fortifying ourselves with a hearty breakfast, the gals and I headed down to the Third Place Books Commons for a little quality time with our spinning wheels.

I had planned on starting the tour with a new project, what is it they say about plans . . . anyway, I ended up finishing [...]

. . . with 200% more cats.

Yes, I’m officially on my way to becoming a Crazy Cat Lady.

Last autumn, the mother started hanging around with one of her kittens, we called them Smokey and Bandit, and because I am such a sucker we stared feeding them. Smokey warmed up to us, [...]

the wine train

We knew Wednesday was going to start early so we ordered breakfast the night before to be delivered to the room . . . I highly recommend this.

We headed out to catch the 8am ferry. We asked the doorman to hail us a cab, but instead he asked had the hotel town car [...]

Chinatown

Ginger — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 06:08:10 +0000

Most of Tuesday was spent in Chinatown. The forecast was overcast in the morning and rain showers in the afternoon. Armed with umbrellas we saw the sights, we shopped, we ate, we shopped some more. It ended up raining some in the morning, but never enough to actually use the umbrellas, then the afternoon [...]

road trip

Ginger — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 05:28:49 +0000

Yesterday we rented this cute little car

and headed north over the Golden Gate Bridge to the MiB Collection Showroom. Now, let me just say, that if you are plus size fat it can be hard to get good quality clothing and if you are really fat, forget about it. MiB is the exception, [...]
