Much of it was, to me, overblown and over-agonised, but that’s what depression does to you. Her most well known line, though, was probably: “A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction.” Well, I don’t know whether she was right, but I’m about to find out. Welcome to my garden studio. When we were looking for a house, we looked for somewhere with 4 bedrooms so that I could have my own creative space, for writing and crafting. But we didn’t find anywhere we liked, so we did a bit of lateral thinking: what about a three bedroomed house and another way to make the extra room? That’s where Booths Garden Studios came in. At the end of November, while the country at large looked out of the w...

A remarkable outcome given the awful rulings of the judge during the trial.  Previous coverage here and here.    When so many charges are leveled, the pressure to enter into a plea bargain intensifies–even if the accused is innocent.  The defense attorney will say something like, “Look, some kids are going to say you did something awful.  That’s going to happen.  We might persuade the jury to acquit on most of the charges, but there’s still a chance they will convict you on a few counts.  That could mean several years in jail.  Might be better to plead guilty to one charge, serve six months, and then get on with your life.”   ...

I wish there had been a little more emphasis on the actions of the trial judge.  Child molestation is monstrous.  To be falsely accused of child molestation must be galling.  And to be falsely accused and then go to trial where the presiding judge is making lousy decisions left and right has to be terrifying. It happens more often than most people want to believe.  For more, go here and here.

So today, when Fast Company released its list of the Most Influential Women in Tech in 2010, it felt like a breath of double-X fresh air. Here’s a quick roundup of Fast Company’s roster, which includes executives, entrepreneurs, media-whizzes, “brainiacs”, and more, and is a great reminder that technology isn’t just for Dads and geeks: Jen Bekman Founder, 20×200 Fernanda Viegas Co-founder, Flowing Media Darlene Liebman Co-founder and Vice President of Production, Howcast Studios Shireen Mitchell Founder, Digital Sisters Elizabeth Stark Co-founder, Open Video Alliance Susan Wu Co-founder and CEO, Ohai Alison...

The kids get plenty of candy at the class parties and it’s fun to come up with an inexpensive and creative alternative. One year my girls and I cut out white hearts and dipped them in a shallow bowl of straw-blown bubbles mixed with red food coloring for beautiful bubble-spotted valentines. Another year we bought stock-paper bookmarks at a craft store and tied on strings for practical and fun valentines. This year I built on the idea of the Pumpkin-Pie Scented Play Dough we made at Thanksgiving. By doubling the recipe, I made just enough play dough for sixteen snack-sized zip-top bags of play dough to hand out as valentines. You can follow these directions to make your own valentines or make ...

I visited the Central Coast Seniors Center Craft Fair and Bake Sale on Saturday, November 3, 2007. The details and imagination that went into the decorated trinket boxes, handpainted mirror frames, elaborate woodcarving and other items were beautiful. It was a reminder that store bought items just don't have the same vintage quality that handcrafted items do. A handmade heirloom is always so special.Seniors and family caregivers were present at many booths, and some of the most beautiful handmade crafts were done by people in their eighties or nineties.Pictured at the Craft Fair is Twila Witt, wearing a hand-de...

This is for a very good reason. I’ve been working my fingies to the bone on tiny cat costumes for your near future viewing pleasure. The calendar is very close to completion. Tomorrow is the fashion shoot and I’ve started buttering Yoshi up with snuggles and compliments. So please, please, please pray for feline stable mental health and a total lack of divahood. There may be a vK1 Behind the Meowing documentary at the end of this as well. Today is Canadian Thanksgiving and last night my brother, sister-in-law and I went to my folks’ house for a delicious dinner. Today was spent running some errands at a north shore mall.

Believe me, I was watching for all the signs this might happen. Sadly, I know that Yoshi and Lulu are better off where they are right now. Lulu is far more confident and outgoing with her sister dog, Xiola. On her own she is nervous and prone to separation anxiety and follows me everywhere. She whimpers at the door when I am in the bathroom, for poop’s sake. She also seems upset and a little afraid by Yoshi’s hissing and spitting. I am sure this is something I could work on over time but she is so obviously happier with another dog to give her comfort and companionship. Yoshi, while much better, was cle...

I cannot quite believe this but the clock tells me it is true. I was recently turned on to cross-stitch by Julie at www.subversivecrossstitch.com and haven’t stopped since. And then to add to the madness I bought a cross-stitch pattern program online where I can make my own patterns as well. Frankly, I cannot be stopped. Family and friends may as well know now that they will be getting some sort of cross-stitch item for their birthday, Christmas, or any holiday that involves gift giving. Partly because we all know how much people love to receive home-made gifts that take hours and hours and HOURS to create but look so very unsubstantial and moderately hokey. *ahem* But also because I can only put so many of my own ...
