Thanksgiving Eve

Accomplished today:

two hand-knit handwarmers finished
one yarn store visited
six loaves of bread made
five poopy diapers changed

Not bad, not bad.

A good reason to stash Ziplocs in the car

Sometimes you find yourself on your knees in a McDonald’s bathroom, wondering how on earth you ended up on such a dirty floor doing something so gross.
In my case, the chain of events went something like this:
Girl meets boy, they fall in love, marry, and have two children. Girl picks up son from preschool, stops […]

Supafine goes Etsy

I finally launched my etsy shop! This is even more fun than I would have thought.

Still boring!

Ha! Borked Nablopomo again. Totally forgot to post yesterday. Utterly consumed by knitting related carpal tunnel pain.
Feeling better today, thank you for asking. Am about to drive family to get some Best Rated Wings at the Best Rated Local Wing Place. Apparently, there is some sort of STEELER FOOTBALL game on tonight, which really […]

The Football Widow’s Lament

O my belovéd! You speak to me distantly, as though calling from across one hundred verdant yards, your words swallow’d in the grande melee that issues forth from a tiny box of glass — hark! I hear you cry now!
“What child is this?” you inquire, forlornly, “who stands before me, a better door than […]

I’m a little slow on the uptake

I have been thinking a lot lately that my Self of 10 years ago would probably have punched my Self of today for being content puttering around the house, SAHMing and whatnot. (Though she would have playfully punched me on the shoulder for finally learning to knit — you should have seen the scarf I […]

Dropped a stitch in my Nablopomo

Hey! Lazy people like me should probably at least check their web site once before turning in for the night, right? Like if they’re doing some sort of blogging project that requires daily posting, they should probably check that they posted what they meant to post, right? ‘Cause I forgot to do that last night, […]

11 days in and we’re all bored already

Nablopomo woo! I know you all are like BORING, bring on the crazy or something, enough of this craft talk.
Or not. That’s fine. It’s all fine. Life is pretty good ‘round the way. I think Iain and I are thinner, happier and more productive here in our new town. Today my sister and her boyfriend […]

Would it be rude to blindfold my guests?

My sister and her boyfriend are coming to visit tomorrow — our first houseguests — and my house is a big ugly pile of blech. And I’ve lived with it just fine for the two weeks we’ve been here but right now, trying to put things in order for their arrival, it’s driving me straight […]

Striking out in the sourcing craft stuff department

OK! Our new home is not perfect. I had to break it to myself today. I went hunting for sewing and knitting supplies this weekend and was sorely disappointed. The local yarn shop is 15 miles away and closed on Sundays. The local fabric/quilting/sewing/old lady shop is much closer but also closed on Sunday. Wal-mart […]

• who’s there?

  Oh hey you guys, it's me, Supa. Things I enjoy: talking on my bananaphone, being a nerd, writing, sewing, writing about sewing, giving my husband high-fives, playing Nintendo with my kids, playing with technological gadgetry, knitting, and reading decorating books. Did I write down nachos? Add that in there. Follow me on Twitter! I'm occasionally funny there.
