happy blog readiing

Thanks to alert reader Lisa as well as A Bad Christian Blog for tipping me off to my new favoritest blog, They Will Know Us By Our T-Shirts. Here's a sample:

My coworkers and I are thinking about writing a book. We'll call it, How I Almost Lost My Faith and Committed Murder Working At a Christian Bookstore.

Heh. I don't actually shop at Christian bookstores, because of the Thomas Kinkade overload, but now I think I might be missing something.

froofy box

I've finished a project that doesn't photograph very well. I made a dressup kit, which will be auctioned off tomorrow night at St. Ned's annual schmancy dinner. Of course, I had originally planned for it to be much bigger and more elaborate, but reality didn't work out that way. So here's what's in it:

2 skirts - one is sheer pink with white iridescent sequins and ribbon roses, and the other is purple metallic with beaded purple trim at the hem.

2 dresses - one is lavender stretch velvet with a sequined satin skirt and a border of wide lace, and the other is red metallic foil with red sequins and a pink marabou hem. This one could actually double as a skirt, since I didn't put straps on it. It just has the stretchy sequins at the top.

2 capes - one is that sheer pink fabric, with the same sequins and roses, and the other is black velvet with silver trim and big honking rhinestones glued on it randomly. The button at the neck is a nice antique rhinestone one.

3 boas/stoles - one is just a boring feather boa, one is pink hologram foil with metallic red boucle on the back, and the other is black slinky knit with blue and turquoise glitter designs on it.

I'm a bit nervous because I did one of these at my old church and the final auction price didn't even cover the materials I put into it - I should have just written the check to the church and saved myself the effort. But there are many more little girls at St. Ned's, so hopefully someone will want it. Or, more precisely, hopefully two or more someones will want it and there will be a bidding war. The proceeds benefit the diocese's ministry with the working poor and homeless in San Jose, and I really want them to make a lot of money from the dinner and auction this year.

things I do when my brain is full

Mental amusement break: I ran a previous going jesus entry through Google's translater...English to German to French and back again. See if you can figure out which day this was:

Rains of rain go my personal object of Bitching must far it lasted me two hours, to receive, to be worked this morning, grace the beginning at the rainy season. One hour of that was a right abandonment Oakland. This kind of the right pressures lead outside enough me - my shoulders are still Spitzentempus. Or perhaps the right pain in my muscles of cord is. My knitting group, our lady of the fixing given up without end met yesterday evening, and I started again the hat of baby with the BabyKs remainders of the cardigan rosafarbenen of a chunky. The thing is, has to me needles Addi turbo+ for my newer project (I do not say to him what are used, therefore nyaaaaa) and him so also and exciting and metal and outward journey in my Bambusrundschreiben are back which is believed terribly. I must precisely really receive a practice of drug, since it would be inexpensive.

Language is so much fun.

rain rain go away

My personal Object of Bitching is that it took me two hours to get to work this morning, thanks to the beginning of rainy season. An hour of that was just getting out of Oakland. That kind of driving just stresses me right out - my shoulders are still a bit tense. Or maybe that's just pain in my knitting muscles. My knitting group, Our Lady of the Perpetually Dropped Stitch met last night, and I cranked out a chunky baby hat using the leftovers from BabyK's pink sweater. The thing is, I've been using Addi Turbo Needles for my latest project (I'm not saying what it is, so nyaaaaa) and they're so slick and lovely and metal, and going back to my bamboo circulars felt awful. I really need to just get a drug habit, since it would be cheaper.

You know how cute that baby is who keeps showing up here is? Well, guess what - she's moving to freaking Montana next month! I'm trying not to think about it. I'm going to miss her and her parents and her dog and her cat so much!
