And random other ramblings. Sunday, April 19, 2015. A little of this, a little of that. First up: A huge. Than you to all of you that sent sock yarn squares for Bertie's Blankets. That's the biggest news this week. Other than that, I've been playing around with a couple of different projects all of which have one thing in common - they needed to be an easy distraction after some busy, and mentally exhausting work days:. It became a vanilla sock. Hope you are well. 1:30 PM, April 20, 2015. Whenever you ar...

Forever Young: beginning, no end… | glass central canberra
https://glasscentralcanberra.wordpress.com/2010/11/19/forever-young-beginning-no-end
A renegade site for today’s thinking studio glass artist. Forever Young: beginning, no end…. 8230;opened at the BVRG last Friday night, and what a sweet exhibition it is. Here’s some of the official blurb…. Forever Young: beginning, no end. Is an exhibition that celebrates the longevity of artistic spirit, from the nascent stirrings of youth to the full-blown flush of octogenarian practice. In contrast, Tom Bosman (who was born in the Netherlands and immigrated to Australia in 1958) has a practice that r...

http://sticks-strings.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
And random other ramblings. Sunday, September 14, 2014. The importance of dyelots. My mother-in-law asked me to make her a cardigan. After some searching she settled on the Ecuador Design by Joji Locatelli. It was in part the design that won her over, but also the colour of the yarn that was used in that design. That yarn is Malabrigo sock yarn in colourway Indecieta. Have you experienced anything similar with your knits? This first step was the perfect knit in what has been an exhausting week at work...

Monday, January 6, 2014. Cover of the day: miley cyrus (covering "lilac wine"). If you were around in the nineties, you may remember jeff buckley's beautiful version of this song. I find the first part of this version a bit rushed but it gets lovely at the first chorus, at the 56 second mark. i like how she sings the word "heady"- i re-watched that bit about 4 times. queen of nerdsville.

Wednesday, January 8, 2014. Like the sky, spread over everything. On the first weekend of july 2013, as most people were basking in the glory of the first hot, summer days, i drove to the kingston general hospital in kingston, ontario, and was told that my step-dad had esophageal cancer. The following morning, when we arrived at the hospital, he appeared to be sleeping. he wasn’t. he'd fallen into a coma. no one had noticed that my paps had fallen into a coma. The running team is what they’re calle...
