Getting back to blogging

As I was clicking through other people's blogs I realized that I don't only have to blog about my creative projects. I can also blog about other things going on in my life that don't mind sharing with other. So here is a run down of some things that have gone on with me.

I finally found a permanent job after temping and being on unemployment for a little over two years. I work in PR, for a company similiar to where I worked before I was laid off. My 1st day was this past December, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to me!

I'm addicted to my Nook. To the point where all my other hobbies seem to fall to wayside. I've even become a Goodreads addict. I've joined like 4 groups that share the same interest as me.

As I said in an earlier post, I'm teaching myself to weave and I love it. My first scarf came out kind of lopsided so I gave it to my other, he say he likes my mistakes. lololol. Now I'm working on another scarf with a matching hat (knitted). I'll post pics on my weaving progress later.

Its been over six months since I've sewn anything. I just don't have the room to lay everything out. + I've gained some weight and I don't feel like remeasuring myself.

I visited WEBS over the summer and that place is huge and the selection is ridiculous. I spent like $200 while I was there. I would love to go back one day.

Vogue Knitting is having an event here in NYC this weekend and I plan on attending. They plan on having vendors, knitting authors, knitting superstars, classes, and other fun things. I'm just going to check out the vendors and wander around. It should be fun. Note to self: Remember to bring Camera

I've been teaching myself how to spin yarn on a drop spindle and it is hard. I think I'm getting the hang of it, thought. I'll post a pic of my progress soon, its not much to look at. lolol Now I think I want to invest in a spinning wheeel, my birthday is coming up and I always treat myself to something nice. I heard it's much easier to learn than doing it on a drop spindle. We'll see...I'm still just thinking about it.

Over the weekend I watched the first season of the British version of Being Human and it was so good. SciFi has put out their own version but I haven't seen it yet. I can't wait till I get season two in the mail. I don't have cable so I miss out on a lot until the shows I love come out on video. But the good thing about watching it on DVD is I can watch the whole season in pretty much one sitting.

I just found out one of my favorite actress, Julia Stiles, is on my favorite show, Dexter, and I am so excited. Yeah, I know, I'm late. No cable, remember. lololol I can't wait till it comes out on DVD. Especially since the ending of last season totally blew my mind. Did you know him and his real life wife, tv sister, is getting a divorce after like a minute of marriage. So sad.

Well that's all I can think of for now. Until later.
