Miscellaneous
Just some random thoughts for today.
I must confess I have been knitting lately – I am working on the Modern Quilt Wrap. I’m doing it a bit differently than the instructions. I couldn’t decide on nine colors, so I’m picking colors out as I go along and I’m having fun with it so [...]

Tour de Georgia, part deux
The last day of the Tour de Georgia was a circuit race in downtown Atlanta, meaning that the bikers went on a six mile loop through downtown Atlanta for ten laps. Do the math and that makes a sixty mile race where you get to see the bikers go by ten times! Awesome!
It [...]

Houston Rocks!
Looks like Jo saw the Rock Racing team on their way from Austin!
Meanwhile, I was rocking out at Arrowfest:
The stage isn’t on fire – that’s just the lighting and a picture using my cell phone. We saw Night Ranger, Styx and Boston. After 11 years of living in Houston, this was [...]

Tour de Georgia
A while back, DH and I took a little trip to Atlanta. We got to visit with friends who had moved there from Houston, see their adorable 1 year old son, and, for the first time ever, see a professional bike race in person. If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, [...]

Columbus sailed the ocean blue
Here’s a peek at what went on at the Columbus tradeshow, put on by TNNA.
I arrived Thursday afternoon with Jo from Dinky Dyes and Fran, who was along to help her. Friday was the setup day, and when I got done trucking all my stuff to the booth, it looked like this:
That’s booth 1342 [...]

Live from Columbus
Two more hours left in day one of the trade show. Trade shows are not as exciting as you might think. There is a good bit of sitting or standing and trying to encourage people to look at your booth. The knitting shops at least tend to wear some of their wares, so they are [...]

Set up – check
First day of the show. Today was the set up day for vendors. This usually doesn’t take me very long, but I forgot my backdrop hangers and my lights didn’t fit the poles, so a trip to target was called for. Then lights from target didn’t fit on the poles either, so there was more [...]

My post, it got eaten
I did write yesterday, honest! Unfortunately, it seems to have disappeared into the ethernet!
Anyway, I reported the story of how the stitching went to a high school graduation over the weekend:
Wow – graduating class of 2008! Now I do feel old. Also, everything is bigger in Texas, so there were over 660 [...]
