Did y’all see Wendy in the comments thanked everyone for their birthday wishes! She’s getting to be an old woman now, and thank you Lesa for correcting me...it was the summer solstace..note to self don’t make posts at 2am anymore.

Ok so what the hell have i been up to you say? Well loads of things. As of late though i haven’t been feeling well and i think today i had a hallucination due to taking huge amounts of excedrin for 4 days straight. I SWEAR i saw a Large 1/2 nekkid old man riding a lawnmower up the street. He stopped at the now vaccant house across the street, got off and kicked some trash. Then bent down to pick it up and his shorts almost came off! eeegads. He got back on his mower and went off back down the cul de sac. When i told this to Nat tonight he seems to think it was all the excedrin. I dunno i’ll report back if i see the man againa nd this time find my camera.
ANYWAYS.

I have been up to a ton of stuff like going to the printer’s row bookfair in chicago every June.
Hey who’s that hott boy wearing brown at the McSweeny’s booth?


Oh right it’s nat who has cut off ALL his hair!


We went to see David Honeyboy Edwards play his set at the bluesfestival






We took a short mini-vacation and went to the Indianapolis Zoo
Where i saw these guys


and this guy


and my mom fed a giraffe


and i saw this lazy male


we pet sharks at their new oceans exhibit and went intot he dolphin dome which is cool as hell. we also went to the children’s museum and had a good time. We’ve been meeting up for knitting meetings a little more now that everyone is more free in the summertime. We had an intresting man approach our table with this tatoo


than he showed us what it was for


which cracked us up to no end.
i took a picture of kayt’s sock, lesa, and Jessica as a rock star all in the background


and kayt


and erin’s hands NOT in a knitting fury of blur

Let’s see what else have i been up to? i entered a contest over at liquidgirl knitting ages ago and won! yay! look at what teresa sent to me! some cherry tree hill sock yarn


some markers and a button


and some more cute buttons

and last but not least (the best for last!) I managed to convince a cool girl named Hannah (Hi HANNAH!) way over there in the U.K. to swap tea with me. I’ve beenw anting to try some really good black REAL british tea. And her packaged reached me before i could even get 1/2 of what i wanted to send to her. So here’s the proof i packed it all up and sent it out last wednesday, i sent her extra yarn to make up for my tardyness in getting her package together. I’m just not fast, but i do think i can deliver.


now look at what hannah sent along!


and the YARN alpaca that is orange and so soft and th emost charming little tea infuser

Now dear friends...excedrin hallucinations and all i think i am caught up. *whew* now back to lolcats.

I ended up at this crazy site somehow. I’ve managed to avoid it until now. And this stupid thing (not the whole site just this one image) has been cracking me up for like 1/2 the night. Much like the silly birthday card i picked out for our dear friend Lesa’s birthday. Did you look at her blog? there’s a PURL street sign on it right now. Go look, seriously. Ok i SWEAR i should do a real post tomorrow. or not.

Turns OLD today. Today is not only the vernal equinox, but my sister’s birthday. Happy birthday Wimby!



I wanted the photo of my sister extracting DNA last week, but alas she hasn’t unloaded her memory stick over here yet. that will have to wait for another day, instead you get her, my nephew, and i think a Komo dragon in the background. Go figure my sister LOVES giant lizards. So there’s the silent 1/2 of your Piddleloop Sewing Team. (her name is not really wimby either, it’s wendy!)

Ok. I have a million things to post and show you, but it will have to wait. I’ve got a busy weekend ahead. I get to see Helvetica the movie, and see the smoking popes...typography and my favorite 90’s band all in one weekend. woo! So here’s my entry in Erin’s contest.  To make this harder on myself i tried to shoot as much as possible with my duaflex II. But it’s impossible to have with me at all times since it is big and clunky. But to make it more challenging for me, i did about 90% of it with it. I also sized most of these 500 pixels by 500 pixles so they are low res, but larger than usual for fun. So must. win.prizes.
