Say no to the bland

April 27th, 2008 · 2 Comments

I can’t go to bed because it’s been bothering me how bland my last post is.  I haven’t really been up to anything un-bland lately (nothing that I’d wish to share anyway…) so I’m going to try and make up for it by listing what search terms people have typed into Google or whatever and [...]

First in a new series!  As it’s my first instalment I’m going to include stuff I’ve learnt in the past week or so.

Look out! I’m gonna spew!

April 12th, 2008 · 1 Comment

It’s Saturday night, I’m home (sob) and I’ve exhausted my patience with Facebook Mob Wars, online gambling and even LSG on Ravelry, so I might as well update this old thing with some FOs and yarn. Just the ones I’ve already uploaded to Flickr though. Ok, someone hold my hair out my face…
