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!

  • NaNoBloMo. Day 1.

    So. Day 1 of blogging every day. Blogging with WORDS everyday. Not just pictures. This is going to be a challenge. I’m trying to decide what the hell I’m going to do for this month. I want to do something different. Something creative.

    So you may see things here that you haven’t seen before. Maybe a poem. Maybe a writing exercise. Maybe something totally stream-of-consciousness. Let’s see where this ride will take us.

    There might be the occasional rant. As well as a Knitting post here and there. I am crazy. I also signed up for NaSweMo (national sweater month, in which you knit a sweater in a month) so there might be some posts about that progress. And I found out about NaBloShoeMo today and decided I needed to participate in that, too. I know. It’s dorky. But fun!

    In the meantime, I will use this first day to wish my love a HAPPY BIRTHDAY! He’s 25 today ;).

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HON! I love you!

  • Otherwise Occupied

    October 30, 2007

    Well, I’m not doing well with the picture a day thing. At least for the last two days. yesterday I spent an hour and a half on a self portrait that didn’t turn out really well. I decided to scrap it rather than post it here. And today I forgot my camera! ugh. I may or may not take a daily photo tonight when I get home from work. I think I’m more likely to chill with my knitting. I love my daily photo but sometimes a break is in order. I won’t give up on it yet, though.

    I had nightmares last night about my knitting of all things! Well, they were more like anxiety dreams. I woke up all anxious about getting my projects done. What the? What does that mean? Maybe I should take a step back from that too! What a stupid thing to be anxious about!

    Today I feel pretty good. Not great, but good. I don’t feel stressed out, which is a good thing.

    Oh, I need to tell you what I’ve been occupied with over the weekend. I found a really cool service that will create and print a book for you and sell it on thier site if you want them to. It’s called Blurb. You download thier software and then create your book on your own computer using your own pictures to make it special. You can make wedding books, photography books, cookbooks, and (and this is what I was playing with) you can turn your blog into a book. And it’s really affordable! I made a book out of Blatherskite’s 2003 entries and it was less than $20.00. I made it over the weekend and ordered it and will let you know how it looks when I get it. I’m excited about this! I’ve been doing this blogging thing now for 4 (!) years. I think it would be really cool to have evidence of this part of my life that I can actuallly hold in my hands.

  • Dried up

    Dead head

    Thank you all for you condolences. The flowers are cheering me up. So did my little hike today. Here’s a picture I took while on the hike. All of the beautiful flowers are dried up. Winter is coming.
