http://www.lanasdelibelula.com/blog Spinning, knitting, dyeing and ridiculous-looking dogs Sun, 05 Jul 2009 02:00:01 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en (finally got around to remembering this draft was still around waitimg for upload, it's ages old now, tho' not as old as if I'd waited 'til home. Good wifi spots really are far and few between.) So, I kind of sort of really didn't like Santiago de Compostela. No, ... http://www.lanasdelibelula.com/blog/2009/05/09/santiago-de-compostela-santillana-del-mar-y-santander/ (posts written on this trip are tapped out here and there during downtimes and waits, apologies for the lack of locational continuity and time lapse effect. I forgot my notebook at Jessica's and haven't picked up another yet.) 6 May 09 We went from the outskirts of Madrid (Valdemorillo) to ... http://www.lanasdelibelula.com/blog/2009/05/06/avila-y-salamanca/ Pretty smooth trip so far. We ended up getting up slightly earlier than planned; I awoke just before 4am to a woman's voice saying, "call 911, call 911, call 911" over and over again, so I did. At first, I thought it came from the room next door, ... http://www.lanasdelibelula.com/blog/2009/05/04/pdx-to-mad-via-ewr/ Aw, the internet ate my post. That hasn't happened in a while. Short version: in Portland, leaving for Spain tomorrow for two weeks in Spain and two in France. We were lucky enough to get a live in sitter for the "kids" and she said they're doing ... http://www.lanasdelibelula.com/blog/2009/05/03/onward-to-adventure/ Another one from Weekend Sewing!  Told you I love this book. (Despite all the errata.  Make sure you google before even buying fabric if it's for a specific WS project, the fabric allowances seem to be miscalculated in many of the patterns, and that's just the start.  Unfortunately, since I first ... http://www.lanasdelibelula.com/blog/2009/04/26/trapeze-dress/ I read most of my blogs through bloglines, clicking through to comment when necessary.  It's a nice, faster way to catch up.  I tried Google's service, but meh.  Bloglines looks cleaner to my eyes, easier and quicker to read. But my blog never shows as updated anymore, or only shows new ... http://www.lanasdelibelula.com/blog/2009/04/23/so-weird/ I love, love, love, love, love Weekend Sewing.  And Heather Ross's Mendocino fabric line. Oh those gorgeous cephalopods. The charming retro subtlety of the seahorses.  I lurve it.  I bought two fat quarter packs from Spool in Philly, hoping that would be the end of it, but I'm going to ... http://www.lanasdelibelula.com/blog/2009/04/20/weekend-sewing-summer-blouse/ Tahoe and I snuck out to play frisbee together and it was such a brilliantly gorgeous day. The Bobobear's a little out of condition, I'm afraid it's been too long since he's done much cardio, plus it was pretty toasty, relatively speaking. http://www.lanasdelibelula.com/blog/2009/04/17/yet-another-cellphone-pic-of-a-dog/ "Greyhounds are so regal looking!" http://www.lanasdelibelula.com/blog/2009/04/11/ach-crivens/ I love Ron. I love him so much I take him everywhere with me. I take him into the yard to lay out in the sun when I lay out in the sun and I take him even up on mommy and daddy's lap to watch movies together. ... http://www.lanasdelibelula.com/blog/2009/03/31/dear-tia-ande/
