Cursing the day I said, “I can totally turn your Grandma’s needlepoint into a set of cushions!” This sucker had about 300 staples holding it TIGHTLY to a slab of plywood. Needed to use a screwdriver to dig them out enough for Rodd to grab with pliers. But it’s free at last, and now I have a blister. 😫 (The last photo is the back side of the tapestry. She’s nude so I censured her bits. 😂)


Blocking. Now that it’s opened up, you can really see why the pattern is called “Ginkgo Leaves”. 🍃🍂 #knitting



Important Note

This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.
