thingy thing: August 2009
http://thingyd.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, August 30, 2009. Well, the dust has settled, the decorations and luggage have finally been put away, and the pictures are being ever so slowly decided on. T and I are man and wife, and I finally. Feel like life is back to normal. I'll have more pictures up soon for the wedding and honeymoon, but right now I thought I'd share my favorite quick meal of the summer, staring grape tomatoes and basil! This was another pleasant garden surprise, since I totally planted it at the wrong time (knowingly, I ...

thingy thing: Beer, beer, beer, beer!
http://thingyd.blogspot.com/2010/10/beer-beer-beer-beer.html
Friday, October 29, 2010. Beer, beer, beer, beer! As some of you may know, my husband and a couple of his long time friends are in the process of starting a micro-brewery. The past year has been working towards building a business plan, getting an SBA loan and investors, finding a space. Interesting at times - but, ya know, mostly kind of, well, unexciting details. It's a whole lotta shiny stainless steel, right? So, hopefully you'll be seeing this in a store sometime in the next year or so! View my comp...

thingy thing: August 2010
http://thingyd.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, August 29, 2010. I have a blog! Yes, apparently I've forgotten (again) about that. This reminds me of my high school Latin teacher, when we were wasting too much time in class talking about Days of Our Lives. "Tempus fugits class! Once we heard that we knew we had to get back to conjugating and translating. That's the only excuse I have for dropping the ball here. Tempus fugits, and it just won't stop. Not that I haven't been up to stuff. Apparently I love a classic car very close up. AwkwardFami...

thingy thing: Some Spring Stuff
http://thingyd.blogspot.com/2010/04/some-sring-stuff.html
Thursday, April 15, 2010. Every year the rhubarb action in my garden freaks me out a little. It's just so weird, ya know? Makes me think of an alien baby - I know, it's gross, but I can't help it! But then it starts to look more like a plant, and you turn around and it's big enough to hide small children and livestock in. This was the garden a few weeks ago, and things certainly don't look quite as bleak now. But for reals. They're still pretty even if they're not exactly hot off the presses!

thingy thing: Itty Bitty
http://thingyd.blogspot.com/2010/02/itty-bitty.html
Sunday, February 21, 2010. Here's the hat I made during the first big snow, for a new baby, C. I might have been inspired to pick a bright, springy green by the snow coming down when I was at the yarn store - who knows? Either way, it's super soft, and making that teeny tiny pom-pom was a kick. Super close up of the knitty. Goodness. That's a mock cable stitch, which looks super fancy and cabled, but is just a 4 row repeat of knit, purl and a ssk. Or two. I found the pattern for this itty.

thingy thing: June 2009
http://thingyd.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 9, 2009. Pretties from the Garden. I had a little time to wander around in the garden today (willfully ignoring the weeds, and overgrown spinach), so I cut a few flowers and snapped some pictures of the pretty things to be seen there in early June. Here's the end of this year's columbine. I can only assume there are seeds in there.Anyway, they look pretty cool - kind of like jester's hats, right? Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

thingy thing: July 2009
http://thingyd.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 27, 2009. May I present (a crummy picture of), the house of a woman about to throw a wedding in just under 2 weeks. Here's to hoping all this will magically turn into a wedding! Seriously, I've absolutely reached the "I'm done with this, let's get it over with" phase of wedding planning. Along with the library funding uncertainties. In the mix, let's just say sleeping can be a little sketchy lately! By the way, Coke is sooo much better from glass. Why is that? Links to this post. I'm a centr...

The Dundee Writer: eBooks for Babies?
http://dundeewriter.blogspot.com/2011/04/ebooks-for-babies.html
Full-time mama, part-time librarian, wanna-be writer. Sunday, April 3, 2011. I was pretty floored when I read this article. Earlier this week. I've been stewing on it for a few days and today posted my thoughts in the comments section. The topic is using digital media with children, including babies and toddlers, in order to help them learn to read. I don't want to sound like a dinosaur, but why do pre-readers need to read books on a computer? In his article, Dr. Gentry does emphasize that reading wi...
