productivity hits a low

To be perfectly honest, I don't really have a hard time staying focused during the day, but sometimes I do end up sitting at the computer much longer than necessary - just replace "twitter" with "g-chat to co-workers" and "facebook" with "google reader" and this is pretty much how I spend the majority of my non-working hours.

Oh, and for those who keep harassing me to join Facebook - this is why I can't!

la photo cabine

La Photo Cabine is a super cute (and French!) way to get distracted from your day job.

summertime bandit

I was so pleased with my Springtime bandit that I made another one (aptly named Summertime bandit) for Anna's birthday. To punish me for giving it to her a month late, she was rather uncooperative at our impromptu photo shoot:

Thankfully, Max amused her with monkey sounds just off camera.

2009 (+ a day): it's about time!

Yea! I'm done! I didn't make my end of the year deadline, but I did finish on the 1st, which is pretty damn close. This is my most ambitious knitting project to date, and I'm quite pleased with how it came out.

2008, don't be late (to finish your year long project)

So the real slogan of this year was 2008, get a f*cking date, but since I've had several dates (thanks sweetheart!) I'm changing it to 2008, don't be late, which I made up solely for the sake of this post.

I started the above project close to the beginning of the year because I received the yarn as a 2007 Christmas present. It's now nearly a year later and I'm still not done. I've set a goal for myself to finish by then end of the year, which is looking favorable, however, not absolutely certain. Therefore, I am off to knit.

Stay tuned for the status, as well as the slogan of 2009!

what i'm knitting

This is what I am currently working on. My goal is to finish by 2009.

I'll keep you posted.
