Arctic Needle Brilliant Idea
Meet Karen, owner of Arctic Needle in Anchorage, Alaska. (See? This is what can happen if you don’t send me a picture. It was a tossup between this one and one of a crocodile with mud on its head. I went with the AK animal.)
Arctic Needle has for three years now been my LNS […]Happenings
March is National Craft Month. If you actually need an excuse to craft, here it is!
The Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race began over the weekend. It’s too soon to know if anyone is actually leading. I’m a little ticked off that I have to “register” to see the full standings on the Iditarod Web […]Catching Up Just Got Easier
Blogs. I love them. Once upon a time I limited my regular blog reading to the number of links I could squeeze into a toolbar on my computer screen. In an effort to cram as many as I could on the one line, I reduced the names to one or two letters. Eventually, I caved […]
Back in the Saddle
Testing, one-two-three. Testing.
The sheets are off the furniture, surfaces are dusted (allergies are having a hayfever-day), and the tumbleweeds have been released in the wind, on their way to Glennallen. I’m home.
Between December 9th and today, I’ve been home intermittently for a total of 13 days. Research suggests I have a hard time blogging […]Out again…
I have tons to share, but no time to share it. Sigh. I’m heading out again–in moments, literally–and will have limited internet access. I need to face it: Things are nuts (in a good way) between now and mid-February, and this blog will be quiet from time to time.
That’s the way it goes with self-employment […]Becca Wins!
Becca’s comment here, earns her a prize pattern for this contest.
Way to go, Becca! Please send your mailing address to my email address–jen at funkandweber dot com–and I’ll get your prize in the mail.
I didn’t think anyone was going to win that one. I’m happy to be wrong.And Now For Something Different
My nephew participated in the 2007 Virginia High School Honors Choir recently. Ohmygosh! They sound amazing! Check it out:
Happy Thanksgiving!
We will be sharing the holiday with lots of friends, eating great food, playing games–my favorite kind of Thanksgiving.
Did you know that Thomas Jefferson (make that Ben Franklin as per Becca’s comment) wanted the turkey (wild, I presume) to be our national bird, not the bald eagle?
If he had gotten his way, would […]Bookmark Challenge Contest
I’m still waiting to hear how many bookmarks some of the participating shops collected. I’m dying to know, aren’t you? I keep thinking of possible numbers: Will we hit 300? 400? 500? Am I grossly under or over?
We had 13 shops participate. How many total bookmarks do you think will be collected?
Make a guess […]Tag, You’re It: 8 Random Things
Wheat tagged me with the “8 Random Things” meme. I did this last spring when I was tagged on my critique group blog, so I’m going to have to dig deep so as not to repeat myself.
The rules of the meme are, more or less:
1. Blame it on someone (I blamed it on Wheat above)
2. […]
