Like I needed an excuse to knit another dice bag.

Since the garden/nature themed swap ended, I signed up for another -- the steampunk swap, since it's obviously going to be FUCKING AWESOME. Got a note from the swap mod the other day saying that I still had the 'no readers allowed' sign on my blog (I was doing some tweaking, okay?), but now the shields are down and Red Group, Gold Group, all fighters follow... whoever my spoiler is. HI SPOILER!

And speaking of steampunk, I found these whilst trawling Amazon the other day:



WHAT.

what what what what what

Whyyyyy did I spend my gift certificate!?






...oh, right. DARI CDs.

I got spoilt indeed.

I'm participating in a garden/nature themed swap over on Ravelry and I got my package yesterday! Carol, my spoil-er, sent me an awesome box, and she included some photographs she took of a grouchy-looking little owl. I loooove owls, and couldn't resist sharing some of them here.














(PS, look at all these swap goodies I got!)

OH, ROSE CITYYYYY.

Going to my VERY FIRST professional soccer game on Wednesday and I am SO EXCITED. Tom says we have to be Portland Timbers fans now that we live in Oregon, which I'm okay with...








...so long as it doesn't interfere with my first loves, the Gunners. ;)

An awful lot has changed... again.

New everything. New city, new Casa Casa Mia, new neighbours, new everything.

Oh! And newly unemployed.

But one thing I definitely can say for Oregon: the flowers here are like nothing I've ever seen.

OH HO HO WHAT DO WE HAVE HERE?

A dARI music video I haven't SEEN?



...

I have the tinglies in some special places and I don't know if I should be uncomfortable or not.

HNNG.
