http://blog.illiane.com/2011/05/19/lots-and-lots-okay-maybe-just-a-little

Lots and lots. Okay maybe just a little. Yes, it has been a while. I hope you’re all doing well. I believe some of you are – I do check your blogs too, which are far more dutifully updated than mine. Last night was only the second night ever that he has slept through the night. And he’s turning 14 months soon. Yeah, he’s reaching that milestone late. Maybe my attempt to pick up blogging again is premature. Who knows. Oh and the knitting? Yeah, not happening right now. On May 20th, 2011 at 8:22 am. 10:58 ...

The word is a little dimmer today. George Carlin has passed away. Posted under Media Minutes. The headline on CNN.com was “ Japanese homeless woman evicted from closet. 8221; My reaction was, “Huh?

Are you having trouble buying gifts for the frilly female scuba diver in your life? Fret no more, have a gander at these! These were apparently bandied about on the net around July last year. I’m late coming to the party. Despite their being - thisclose - to being exotic enough to possibly adorn Carrie Bradshaw’s Sexy tootsies, alas, these are merely art pieces. From what I could gather on the omniscient intarwebz, these were the creations of a Belgian artist. I think. Enjoy them, Flippy. Sew, Mama, Sew.

http://blog.illiane.com/2009/07/15/is-it-safe-to-come-out

Is it safe to come out? It has been a while since I’ve felt the desire to blog, but here I am, poking my head out to see if it’s ’safe’, so to speak. Blogging started to feel like an utter chore and an obligation. What on earth is right about that, when it’s supposed to be recreation and a labor of love? A note to the winners – if you haven’t received your prizes, my word, PLEASE let me know! So here I am once more, and with a new Wordpress theme to boot. I found it on Smashing Magazine. So glad to be re...

Guilty Pleasures (They’re wearing what? But on the web, I have to confess to purposefully visiting a few sites which could be considered gossipy in nature, even sometimes a bit snarky. Take Lady Gaga’s recent presentation. For example. She’s always good for a Fug post. I don’t think that’s your poker face, Lady G. Just sayin’. 8220;Guilty Pleasures (They’re wearing what?

The end in sight, plus, well. stuff. I had a very, very nice start to the weekend. After driving to Greensboro and back to pick up our daughter on Friday, I managed to get in some very satisfactory knitting time. The end result is that the Birds’ Nest Shawl is finally off the needles. I know, I can hardly contain my excitement over some of the things I do over the weekends. On Sunday, Tvini. And Rachel came over for a session of what was supposed to be spinning and weaving and knitting, only it turned ou...
