J cooks us such wonderful dinners... amazing pastas and all sorts of great dishes, sometimes even with appetizers. Lovely plating and everything! Last night we had a somewhat simpler dinner... baked fish. I had a chuckle and had to take a photo. Perhaps I just have a bizarre sense of humour.
It was very tasty. :)
I got two issues of "Bead Unique" when I went to the Big Apple Glass Art and Bead Festival. I've now read them, and, while they do contain some interesting stuff, they aren't anything I'll use any time soon. So I'm offering them to you. If you're interested, leave a comment here. I'll make a completely biased decision on who to send them to (or draw names if I can't decide, again, at my discretion), and will contact you for a mailing address. Note: I must be able to contact you by e-mail in order for you to be eligible. Make sure I have a way to contact you. Deadline is whenever I feel like it, so comment sooner rather than later, or risk missing this opportunity. If you feel like it, you can give a reason why I should give them to you rather than someone else. I'll take that reason into consideration if I feel like it.
PS: I'm crabby right now. Perhaps because Aunt Flo is coming today, or perhaps not. But even though I'm crabby, and am writing a crabby, nit-picky post, I still want to give the magazines away. So don't be afraid to ask. I'll be crabbier if no one wants them. I promise not to use contact e-mail addresses and/or mailing addresses to send you crabby stuff.
| What American accent do you have? Your Result: The West Your accent is the lowest common denominator of American speech. Unless you're a SoCal surfer, no one thinks you have an accent. And really, you may not even be from the West at all, you could easily be from Florida or one of those big Southern cities like Dallas or Atlanta. | |

I went back this afternoon to get the "Sweaters for Men" book for Knittah ($12). (Oh... while I was there, I checked, and the other Kaffe Fassett book is Glorious Knits) On a whim, I decided to scour their discount room, to see if any knitting or crochet books made it back there.
There were *more* back there, hidden about. (Including yet another copy of Kaffe's Family Album, so check the price on that copy before buying the ones in the main section.)
Including... Alice Starmore's The Celtic Collection... marked down to $8.50. (Don't bother going for that book... it's not there any more.)
*phew*... I just checked Amazon, and you don't have too be *too* envious... there's a paperback edition of the Celtic Collection still in print for ~$16, and used copies for less. (Now you can just kick me for sending you to Amazon. While you're there, check out Elsebeth Lavold's Viking Patterns for Knitting... another I think I'd love to have, but haven't had a chance to flip through.)
Now Knittah wants to know which Rowan book was at the bookstore... but do I dare enter again? What else might I be seduced into buying?
