crafty possibilities

I have no plans today until around five, and it's really time to start a new craft project.

I finished my crocheted blanket last week. I am only about an inch from finishing the socks I'm making for 7j, and the Chicken Viking hat should only take a few hours to do. I want to start a project that will take me through the next few weeks at least.

My kittycat, Charlie, is at the vet again. :( His ear keeps swelling up.

I would appreciate any good thoughts you might feel inspired to send.

So, as a present, mrpet got me twelve miniature journals. They are so, so pretty.

Here is the question I wish to present: if you were to divide your life into different areas to write about, how would you do it? I think it would be neat to have each book devoted to one topic, instead of doing it "the easy way" and using one for each month.

I could write about crafts in one, books in another, food in a third. But then what would I do with the other nine? :)

Thanks to harlequinade...

There are now tears in my eyes from laughing so hard.

"Christmas isn’t fucking Christian.That’s right, that Yuletide cheer you’re spreading? What exactly do you think Yule is? It's the fucking Pagan celebration of solstice. And those 'Christmas' traditions? They’re not just like Pagan rituals, they fucking are Pagan rituals. Way before your Jesus got all magical with the bread and fishes, the Romans were celebrating the birth of Mithra on . . . guess? Go on – guess. December fucking twenty fifth. What a weird coincidence. Practically the whole thing is ripped off from the fucking Druids and the Romans. Twelve days? Check. Exchanging gifts? Check. Mistletoe? Check. And you’d better fucking believe that those decorated trees that Gibson and Co. are so bent out of shape over are as Pagan as the Rune and Crystal Shack at Pentagramfest 2005. You might as well be building miniature fucking Stonehenges in your den."

Anyone who is feeling embittered, or hated the whole thing to begin with, will take heart.
