New look
My blog is undergoing a revamp. And it has not been easy, the effort of getting thinks the way I want them is giving me a headache. Now Blogpatrol isn't working and my stats are all gone. Flickr's been giving me a hard time too, all of my pictures disappeared and I got tired of waiting for help so I went a reloaded them along with some new ones.
I am working on indexing my site, hence the table at the bottom of the page. I am trying to put all of my links and projects into a useful format. I am not sure this is the best way but I am going to give it my best. I am hoping that when I am done, I can use the table to access all of my projects as well as all of the links I keep recording.
If it doesn't work I am going to have to take the plunge and get myself a true and proper website I guess.
On the cool side I won my first eBay auction! Not too exciting for those who are old hands at this. I have won an auction or two in the past however they were on behalf of my husband and involved motorcycle stuff. This auction was for 6 Handcraft Illustrated magazines, which are no longer in print. I am so happy! Now I get to try out Paypal and start looking at selling things myself (not quite yet).
Tonight is a fundraiser spaghetti supper for Girl Guides and Boy Scouts and I have volunteered to stock the craft table. Not with stuff for sale but with something for kids to do. So, Pasta dinner - we'll be making Pasta Animals! Cool eh? I am going to try to get a few pictures of them tonight. I made a giraff, a dog and a truck, after all I am bringing in Lina's street carpet for the kids to play on.
This week has been mad. Monday was a District Meeting for Guiders, Tuesday was Lina's second gymnastics lesson, tonight is the spaghetti dinner and Saturday I am presenting at Brownie Badge Day - 2 sessions. So I will be quite happy to sit down with a glass of wine Saturday night when it is all over.
I've also been working on a little amigurumi pattern (will be reveiled later) but I am having a hard time trying to figure out what to do with the face. Hint - Easter themed.
I am happy to hear that Backtack is coming up with a new round soon, April 5th is the sign up date. I don't think I will be entering this one. I have promised to cleanup my UFOs before starting anything new. But I am excited to see what the girls at backtack come up with!

This is completely off-topic, but I did a search and found on your blog that you went to Pedro's Fest 7 months pregnant. I'm toying with the idea of going this year, but I'll be 8 months pregnant! Do I have a chance in hell of surviving???? Figured I'd see if you had any words of pregnant mountain bike festival wisdom. thanks!
Hey I answered your question on your blog. Hope it helps! Let me know if you have any more questions.
Love the new look, and congrats on the handcraft mags. I had a subscrition years and was literally devestated when they went down-they sent me cook's magazine for the rest of my subscription! Just not the same. I still go back and drool over the projects. Are you going to post which ones you got? I need to know how jealous to be!
:)
thanks so much for the info!!! I'm not sure if I'll go, but if I'm feeling up to it at 8 months I'll definately try!!
