Foolish gibberish

  • AboutI am also known as CraftyMoni elsewhere on the web. I am a Children’s Librarian. I am a photographer. I am a knitter. I am a reader. I am a wannabe poet. I blog. Sometimes I complain. I like to swear. I have a really twisted sense of humor. I think I might be a Zen Buddhist (Still trying to decide). Not a fan of organized religion. I am very liberal and can be vocal about it at times. I’m a daydreamer. Sometimes sassy. I try to be compassionate. I think I’m pretty nice most of the time. You can delve into deeper waters by reading these posts. You can see my photography on my Flickr page. If you like any photos you see there or on this site and would like to buy a print let me know. I would be happy to sell one to you! I blather about library stuff on  Twitter. You will also find me on Google+ and Facebook. Enjoy your visit!

    Hat knit using entrelac, in four colors
    Image via Wikipedia

    I meant to have a picture taken and uploaded this morning but that didn’t happen. We went on vacation last week and I visited a couple of yarn stores (as I generally do when I visit a new town. The public library and the local yarn shop are always on my agenda. God, I sound like such an old lady.).

    Anyway, at this shop I visited there was an absolutely adorable entrelac bag knitted in a cottony soft Noro yarn that I had never seen before. I decided to buy the yarn and cast on for it while on vacay. The colors are so gorgeous and summery and fun. It was the perfect thing to knit while being away at the ocean.

    Unfortunately I don’t have pictures but I promise I will take one or two and post them very soon.

    Carradine signing autographs in Malmö, 2005

    David Carradine was found dead, hanging naked from his neck in his closet. How sad 😦

    This is an interesting article about a study that links human laughter with other primate’s laughter and posits that laughter in primates comes from a shared ancestor.

    The Octomom is now saying that she has regrets. ugh. Yeah. no shit.

    This’ll give you a good chuckle.

    a nice crowd

    Last night we had a little reception at Express Personnel where my mom, brother, husband, and myself will be showing our art for the month of June. It was really fun! not a lot of people came but that’s o.k. The building is located off the beaten path from the rest of the venues so it’s not super convenient to get to. There were a few people from work and family who came.

    Here are some pictures that I took if you want to see them.

    Mt Spokane

    The snow has finally melted on Mt. Spokane and we were able to go for a proper hike. It was SO nice to be up in the forest.
