I can has nap?

Posted on November 19, 2009 by HappyGoth

Keep me to task

Posted on November 4, 2009 by HappyGoth

Guilt is a powerful motivator, especially coming from anonymous internet people. Really, that’s why I’m blogging – it keeps me honest. Those analytics make me feel bad, when they’re bad, and it’s a good kick-start. Like the embroidery, for example. … Continue reading →

Chain stitch skills – I has them.

Posted on October 27, 2009 by HappyGoth

Endbands!

Posted on October 13, 2009 by HappyGoth

I am in love with endbands. No, really. It was necessary for me to sleep last night, so I had to quit but I didn’t want to. Also, did you know that if you hunch over something for six hours, … Continue reading →

What a weekend.

Posted on October 12, 2009 by HappyGoth

No, seriously. I had intended to clean house, which I sort of did, but then I did a lot of other stuff. And while that’s all well and good, I still need to clean my house. Oh, well. Anyway. Here’s … Continue reading →

All righty, then.

O, Hai. I R indecisive.

Posted on October 2, 2009 by HappyGoth

Which seems to be my chief complaint, as far as the SCA and my participation goes. That is, I have changed my persona twice, and have changed names four times. I believe I’ll stick with the one I’ve got, but … Continue reading →
