Positively Charming Things

Here were the entries, in the order they were received. 1.  Teri L. 2.  Creative Cove 3.  Traecy K. 4.  Dawn (into the dawn) And the winner, courtesy of Random.org: Creative Cove! I’ll send you an email asking for more details.  Congratulations!

Only four entries.  We’ll have to do better next time. I’m currently waiting for my husband and my daughter to come back from a quick gift card spend & dinner pick up, then later tonight I’ll draw the name for the winner of the knit or crochet stitch marker set. Stay tuned.

Today is the last day to comment at this post if you’re interested in winning a stitch marker set for either knitting or crochet.  In your comment, if you have ideas for the type of stitch marker you’re interested in, make sure to note it there.  Sometime on Saturday, January 22, I will do a drawing, and the winner will get a set of stitch markers based on the suggestion that person left.  Even if you don’t knit or crochet yourself, if you know someone who does…

I’m going to update this software, so you may see the site offline for a bit.  If all goes well it should be back online shortly.

I don’t know if there are any knitters or crocheters out there reading this, but if there are, I have a couple of questions for you. I’m looking for some items to make with my polymer clay, that are not too time consuming.  While it is not by any means a new idea, it is new to me, so I thought maybe, stitch markers. I knit myself, although it has been a while since I made something that required a stitch marker.  But I have several sizes of needles I could gauge the ring…

While this date is neat, I think 11/11/11 will be even neater. But anyway.  I have to brag a little.  I sold a necklace yesterday to one of my co-workers.    It’s my first in-state sale, so I’ll have to report my sales tax for the first time since I got my tax license a year and a half ago. Thanks, co-worker!  You know who you are.

This challenge was decided upon before Christmas, and the theme was Mythology. Visit our guild’s website to see all of the awesome entries.  Then, in the upper left corner, vote to see what you’d like to see us try next!  There is only one day left for voting, so hurry and go check it out!

I think IE should now be able to see this site without choking. I’m a little embarrassed to say it was bad coding on my part, and apparently FF and Chrome just “knew” what I was getting at, while IE was taking things literally. With the help of my mother-in-law, who I am quite grateful for saving me the headache of figuring out what went wrong, all should look good now.  Can’t promise anything in older browsers, but the up-to-date ones should be good to go.

Don’t mind if this place looks amiss… Attempting to fix some code.

I know this blog looks like utter crap in Internet Exploder.  (sorry - Internet Explorer). Suffice to say - I code on an iMac, using Firefox & Chrome as the browsers that I spot-check my coding work with.  The only time I ever use IE is for the day job, where that is the IT department’s ‘authorized’ browser of choice - and even then I only use it for one website.  For all else I use Firefox.  I really, really avoid IE as if it were a plague. I may or may…
