Hobbies…
Someone (Hi Barb!) asked me at our weekly Stitch ‘n Bitch what my hobbies are. Hmmm…let’s see:
Knitting
Quilting
Gardening
Photography
Web-stuff (building websites, playing with new software-Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, etc.)
Building Access databases (yes, it’s fun)
And for the last year or so, my favorite thing to do which can suck up hours upon hours … Webriddler. This is a forum-based riddle with 100 phases, some of which are very simple, some of which seem impossible, and all of which are thoroughly enjoyable! (Well, up until Phase 86, which is where I’m stuck right now…)
Oh! Speaking of sucking up hours and hours … RAVELRY! Raveling is now a verb (I don’t care what the dictionary says, yes it is) to describe reading and talking about knitting patterns, yarns, queuing up hundreds of projects to be knit, and just generally being immersed in fiber-y goodness. And sharing it all with 170,000 of your closest friends.

Two cool things about your blog that I haven’t thought of… a widget to see where your traffic is coming from, and the ability to change the theme. That was pretty cool.
