Quick Cookie Post

I took some quick snapshots (using my old camera) of the cookies I took to a friend’s Thanksgiving party.  (I made pumpkin chocolate chip cupcakes from Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World, too, but totally forgot to photograph them.  They were good, but very rich!)  Please forgive the first blurry pic – I didn’t realize [...]

Adventures in Mistakes [NaBloPoMo]

Looks like I’d better get on the ball if I’m going to get this post in today, for NaBloPoMo. o.0 Whew. I wanted inspiration to write more, but ZOMG, ya know?

So, anyway, I got a killer [...]

Stitch ‘N Bitch: The Knitter’s Handbook

Anybody familiar with this one?  I crocheted and knitted a tiny bit when I was a kid – I was thinking about picking it back up, but I’d need a good book/website as a place to start.  This seems like a good one, but I’d be thrilled to hear opinions.
I absolutely love the URL for [...]
