I'm Stephanie. I like to knit, write letters and poems, read (novels and blogs!), and stress out to the max. ;) At Sunbeam Soapbox I write about the knitting, letters, and whichever thoughts I want to share with the world. I also like new friends! Feel free to drop me an e-mail anytime using the contact form.

Congratulations—you’re in Vienna, minding your own business, and suddenly you wake up and find out it’s snowing. In the middle of March.
Okay, your last winter was spent in Minnesota, where the snow didn’t thaw until the last week of April. Your spirit isn’t too shattered as you kind of expected this. Still, you were looking [...]
Things always get done in their own time. I guess that’s why I never pay attention to the changing of years and months, because it doesn’t matter as much. Stuff just gets done as it gets done.
This got done a LONG time ago (the first weekend of November, I think), but I never did a [...]
I have been TRYING to get back to the blog — you know, a few last posts before I leave possibly for forever (oh right, still need a travel blog set up…). I’ve got a few posts lined up in my head still. But I realized yesterday, with my aunt and uncle coming to visit [...]
This will be short and sweet, since I’ve got little time lately. Most posts from now until Dec. 15th-ish are going to be short and sweet, since time is not really on my side…
Details on Ravelry.
Here’s a sort of better close up of the pattern. Pictures are hard to do well lately; it’s been snowy [...]
Recently I sent Rebee an e-mail with some blog topic ideas because I have too many bouncing around my head. (Tired of hearing about Rebee yet? Huh are ya? Well too bad! You should see her latest post; I’m planning on writing a reaction to it in the next few days. So you’ll still have [...]
Something’s been finished? Say what?
I miss that cat (that’s Pepper). It’s good to know I have pictures of her (and of course Sugar) too. I was reminded of Pepper today reading A Tribute to Rip. Miss Pepper and Miss Sugar had better be around for the next 17 years, because I can’t imagine life without [...]
Okay, this made me snicker. And such a good idea. (topics: humor, abortion, Sarah Palin as VP choice)
Today was such a better day than yesterday. I haven’t been doing as much knitting as I’d like because I’ve been soooo busy with schoolwork (which really, I’m surprised at), but today for some reason I feel MUCH [...]
Things I did today:
woke up
put fresh-from-the-box contacts in
realized I can’t see with contacts in
discovered that the box has the wrong numbers on it for my prescription, cursed
put glasses back on and tried to come up with the central argument for a presentation
gave up and went to class
went to group meeting about presentation
ate lunch
took nap, after [...]
The glittens are done, long live the glittens!
They need blocking. I’ll do that in the morning. Three days over deadline isn’t too bad is it? This whole “deadline” thing? I’m pretty awful at it. No wonder I don’t knit Christmas presents.
Also, my camera cord may be home. In light of this possibility, I’ll tell you [...]
