Art and stuff of Amanda Hone. Wednesday, May 04, 2011. Friday, April 01, 2011. Joe got the drill out straightaway and hung the painting. So a good day and now I have to wait 8 agonizing weeks wondering if perhaps, perhaps, perhaps I might be lucky enough to hang my art on the hallowed walls of the Royal Academy.

I finished this scarf at the weekend, just in time for the weather to start to turn cooler. Pure Qiviut, which is possibly most divine yarn ever produced. It is reputed to be eight times warmer than wool and softer than cashmere. I was lucky enough to receive a ball of it a couple of Christmases ago. And it really is sublime. It is also scarily expensive! Knitted Lace of Estonia.

The Cure for Your Knitting Addiction. Sunday, June 12, 2011. The socks were made for walking. In orange shoes of course. Wednesday, June 1, 2011.

What is the sound of a blog without a blogger? Not long ago, a friend at work paid me a compliment. This friend is not a lawyer but reads a lot of legal writing as part of her job, including at least ten of my own briefs. She had read one of my reviews on Goodreads. Not everyone can do that.

Firstly, thank you for stopping by.

Wednesday, May 27, 2009. Because some guest are just like having more kids to have to take care of and clean up after. Just my own thoughts here. The Hubster loves having all the extra company. I ended up not feeling well, had a bad sore throat and cough, I was downing NyQuil at night, just so I could sleep, HA! Not much of that. So I felt very lethargic during the day. Like all I wanted to do was sleep. Man I should have brought a book! See ya next time! Tuesday, April 21, 2009.
