Well, my week without e-mail/blogs/facebook/twitter was pretty successful. Yesterday when I woke up bleary and not really ready for the day I knit for an hour and a half—finished a mitten, actually. :) Which is a great way to start the day, much better than thinking about what a failure I am for not checking [...]

So busy coming back home that I haven’t been taking pictures this week—oops. I’ll get back on track with the picture taking today. After I do some lazing in the sunlight through my window. I’ve also been enjoying looking through all my knitting magazines and dreaming about what I’m going to knit next. (I have [...]

A little over a week ago, Phoe suggested The Beauty and Joy Project, which I jumped to participate in. I don’t participate in a lot of online stuff because of a lack of time, but I’ve been really struggling with happiness lately, so I forced myself to sign up. My resolution? Take at least one [...]

It feels GREAT to write here again. Maybe soon I’ll even have knitting to share! It has been the roughest week ever — butting heads with instructors, over and over and over again? Not in the least a fan of it. I’m withdrawing from that class. So I might even have time to knit a [...]

When I left Vienna for Great Britain, the weather had warmed up enough to regret leaving, but the trees and plants still wore their dour winter clothes. Imagine my surprise to find this in colder, northerly Great Britain:

Luckily, since coming back to Vienna the trees here seem also to have bedecked themselves in fresh spring [...]

I told Brenda that I’d post today, so I had better follow through. I had meant to post at the beginning of the day, you see, but then got caught up and am not sure how relevant this post is anymore. But still.
Rebee had a super idea yesterday: what if we put together a small [...]

So I’m planning on dragging the rest of you down with me. I’ve already got my first convert too. :D
That’s not to say I haven’t been knitting—far from it. It’s just that letters are easier to talk about lately. However, I’d like to point out that I wrote the other day in my journal that [...]

In my German class (learning German, that is) we’ve been going over applications for jobs. Many of the people in my class are people that have relocated to Berlin and want to live and work there, and therefore the topic of applying for a job is necessary for them. For me it’s fascinating. I think [...]
