Return to Phae

Well, I have been knitting like crazy for the last couple of weeks, and I have some stuffs to show off.  First is my new scarf for this year.  The only one that I actually LIKE once it was finished (I learned a lot about blocking and the bane of my life that is acrylic yarn).  And the second is a pair of very cool arm warmers.

I have a couple of people at work who want to learn to make them and a couple more who want to pay me to make them for them.  Yay!  I are a trend setter! LOL



I also made Knitty's Cleaves, but I don't have any pics of that just yet.  Yay!  Knitting!

Now, THAT is a cute icon

Yesterday I wrote 2200 words and typed out nearly 1000 more.  I found the parts that I had written from last time and had either neglected to type or had typed and somehow lost.  I also realized that I am not as far along in the re-read and edit process as I had thought.  Which sucks, but it will give me a chance to figure out just what is said already and what needs to be added.

I had thought that I had written a prologue, but I guess not as I cannot find it anywhere, and only vaguely remember what it would have said anyway.  I think I will wait until I have actually finish the 'writing it all out' process before I worry about that.  I am getting more insight into how Ella works, how her vices fit into her personality and the new subplot is fitting in rather seemlessly (like it always should have been there), which is good.

It is sunny and gorgeous today, and I am exhausted from staying up until 2am writing and typing.  But, when you have to get it out of your head, there isn't a lot of choice.  I tend to find that writing at night is how I do it best anyway.

In other news - I am thinking that I am going to be redesigning my website yet again (I know I am not even finished with the first redesign).  I have been inspired recently to use photos for the art of my page, and on my walk home from the market the other day, I got some really beautiful shots.  The trees are all in bloom right now, and the streets are carpeted in pink and white petals.  I love spring :)

The new job is set to start at the end of the month.  I am still trying to juggle how I am going to do the training weeks (which will be Mon-Fri) while I am hanging on to my other job.  So far, I have decided to just take the first week off entirely, and take it from there.  They are not very firm on details, which is very frustrating.  I am getting a little sick of hearing 'when I know something, you'll know something', but what are you gonna do?

That is about all with me at the moment.  Or it is all that my coffee-deprived mind can think of at the moment.  I will prolly try to post something new for the C&P crowd today or tomorrow.

Happy Weekend (even though it isn't a weekend for me)!

Ask me to take a picture of any aspect of my life that you're interested in/curious about - it can be anything from the house I live in to my favourite shoes. Leave your choice here as a comment, and I will reciprocate by taking the pictures and posting them as an LJ entry. That way you get to know a little bit about my life.

PS - I reserve the right to say no to nudey and booby pics - those do not need to be on the internet  :P

I have been taking pictures again. These are from the ditch right next to my busstop near my work. These guys are so cute, and they come back every spring. I can't wait to get some pictures of hatchlings.

More to come ... I have been taking lots of pictures on the days when it is sunny
