Podcast Recommendations?

I am looking to build a good podcast library. I would love some suggestions for knitting, crafting, spinning/fiber, gardening, sustainable living/green life, and photography podcasts. Any favorites? Podcasts you can't live without?

Starting the New Year off right

So far 2010 has been pretty low key. Phillip is sick with a sore throat, so no smooches for us at midnight. Poor thing. At least it was his turn this year, breaking my streak of getting horrifically sick on New Year's Day. He seems pretty ok with vegging out on the sofa playing his new video games from Christmas.

I have actually been pretty busy. Cleaned the kitchen, organized the laundry room, and I am cleaning up our storage...er...I mean Guest Room to make way for the crib. Why do we have every mismatched sheet set that Phillip had before we got married crammed into the closet? I am going to purge useless items and repurpose the rest. Wish me luck. Hopefully Mom is coming over later to be my sanity keeper as I wade through the mess!

Hope your New Year goes wonderfully!

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween to all! We had a blast handing out candy to all of the neighborhood kidlets. I just had to show off the pumpkin my Mom carved for my husband. She has started a tradition of carving him an awesome pumpkin every year. All of our trick-or-treaters loved it. Way to go CraftyMom!

Checking in

Just stopping by to say hi. Life has been crazy lately, and I totally forgot that I have a blog! Phillip and I have been so busy having adventures in the past few months. We traveled to Kentucky to visit his family. While there I was incredibly sick. I was using my inhaler pretty much every 3 hour which was scary. We hiked up the pinnacle and to natural bridge in the Red River gorge.

We went to the Knoxville Lindy Exchange and had a blast dancing and visiting with all of our friends. When Phillip and I got home, we also found out something interesting.
We are excepting our new addition to arrive around May 31st to June 5th 2010. So you know what this means...baby crafting! Phillip and I are going for a more gender-neutral theme with Speck. I love greens, browns and yellow, and we will see in December if I can get some more specific crafting done. We will be able to find out the gender then, so I can really crank up production. As of right now we are planning to cloth diaper, set up the guest room as the nursery, and re-use as much as we can. We'll see! I am pretty excited to sew up some cute accessories. Since we are planning to go pretty minimalist with baby gear, I really want to make stuff we can use. If you have any good ideas or essential items, let me know.

Hello again

Sporadic posting is my middle name. I attempted to find a new home over on wordpress, but I felt pretty limited with my blog's appearance. I might stay here, I might find another blog home, but I will update with details when I can find what I need. :)

Life has been flying by. Work has been crazy, I have lost 2 out of my 4 coworkers in the past two months. Which honestly? I am a-ok with. One of the aforementioned coworkers was a very toxic individual, and brought the drama-llama to the office everyday. The other followed along, since the Toxic Coworker (TC) was very two-faced and fooled the other into thinking everyone was out to get her. Now, peace reigns in my worklife, which alleviates so much stress from my life.

I have been crafting up a storm! I have finished two sweaters since I last checked in here, two earflap hats, a set of mitts for me, a cowl, a pair of stockingette socks, and a beautiful lap quilt! I an currently cutting out a layered Barcelona skirt in a great moda polka dot print. I should have my skirt done this weekend if I can sit at my sewing table. I had a flare-up of an old back injury this past friday. I have been pretty much shackled to the couch on muscle relaxers, ibuprofen and pain relievers. My Memorial Day holiday was spent hobbling around. Hopefully all of the good care I am doing for myself will pay of with a return of good health and an active weekend! There are more seeds and plantlets to go in the garden! I am also thinking of some peach freezer jam, or maybe strawberry. expect some more pictures either tomorrow or this weekend when the light is better.
