Good, Bad, Ugly

Okay, let’s face it, there has been enough bad and ugly in my life the last week or so. This post is all about Good Things. Good: As you may recall, before I had that Life Changing Thing happen, I finished the Adamas Shawl. I blocked it one day last week (it’s sort of a…

It’s been ages since I’ve done a Good, Bad and Ugly post. Really, I’m way overdue with this. But here you go. Hope you like it! Good: Summer driving. The top is down on the Jeep and the wind is blowing through my hair and I’m loving it. Bad: The wind is blowing through my…

I’ve been postponing a Good, Bad & Ugly post for about a week because I don’t really have enough bads and uglies to even things out. So, this time, it’s almost all good. And that’s not bad or ugly, is it? Good: My nephew Steve earned the rank of Eagle Scout on Sunday. Dale, who…

Welcome to the newest installment of The Good, The Bad & The Ugly, brought to you by your friends at Carole Knits. Where knitting isn’t the only thing happening. Good: Last week my stepdaughter, Jessica and I joined the YMCA in our town. We have gone and walked on the treadmill faithfully. I am determined…

I know, I know, it’s only been a week since the last Good, Bad & Ugly post but, honestly, other than Good, Bad, & Ugly, I’ve got nothing. Nada. And I’m too cranky to try and come up with something else that’s clever or witty or even remotely entertaining. So, this is what you’re getting.…

Good: The newly created, thanks to Susan and Teri, DeStash Blog. You can post the yarns, books and fiber you no longer want and sell it to others. Bad: The temptation to buy yarn, books and fiber that I don’t actually need! Ugly: Being too late for a couple of items I really would have…

Good: Lots of knitting time on a Tuesday. In fact, enough knitting time to finish Hannah’s flamingo socks. Bad: Getting that knitting time because the kiddo is throwing up. Since midnight the night before. Ugly: The medicinal remedy for throwing up. You guys know the drill, right? Hannah’s dignity was definitely compromised. Good: Knitting at…

Good: Getting that stuff in the picture for Valentine’s Day. I think this means that Dale finally “gets it” about the knitting. Bad: Getting a new sock book while in the middle of the Knitting Olympics. Good: Receiving my 2000th comment on the blog! Bad: Having the 2000th commenter be Dale. I can’t exactly send…

Good: Having a heartfelt discussion with my quilting friends about my lack of interest in quilting these days. I love my friends and want to see them but really want to knit and not quilt. We all agreed that what matters is getting together, not whether someone is quilting or knitting or just sitting around…

Good: Having 32 people sign up for the Buy More Yarn program! I thought I might have 10! Good: Supporting yarn shops through this endeavor. Bad: Competing against the likes of Risa, Dave and Aunty Nin. Ugly: Writing all that freakin’ html! Good: Receiving a sheep ornament from Margene for hanging on Lucy. Lucy loves…

In my very own version of Mamacate’s Random Wednesdays, I present a new and probably (I told you it was in the spirit of randomness)recurring post on the various good, bad and ugly things in my life. Good: Having the temperature soar close to, and sometimes above, 50 degrees this week. Good: Driving home from…
