Yarns of many different colours - RSS is finally RS

Powerhouse Museum - Photo of the Day

Library Stuff

Finally, finally, finally I am getting the hang of this. My feeds are on - putting pictures on is now a breeze (thats my lounge room with the first four patches of the blanket coming together).

I could go on for hours about the reasons RSS took so long- the stories of attempts to get Powerhouse loaded only to have it fail.

Or of following the Photo of the Day ( Mosman Bay), my old stamping ground, only to end up on a Mosman Library Blog feeling pathetically inept.

Or the endless hours searching for links related to storytellers or childrens literature only to find that most of us (storytellers and childrens authors) are also pathetically inept and don't have RSS feeds. So most of my favourite journals either need you to pay for subcribng or they don't have links. Yes some of us are still old fashioned.

I didn't get around to following up knitting links as my title page implies. Been too busy sorting out odd sized knitting 'squares' to do that.

But cheers the group now has one blanket about to be sewn up into a Crazy pPtch blanket. Look out for more photos.

Holidays and Aftermaths

Holidays can be so much fun, but coming back to work and picking up the loose threads ccan be harder.

I did get to visit my son in Middlemount - way up north in a mining town. Now that is an experience.

I got my my stories off to editors and got interested bodies to endorse them. Compassionate Friends are currently reviewing my latest offering Craig's Story. This is the story of a young child who won't let anyone tell her her best friend is no longer around her even though he recently died. Very heartwarming.

I think though the worst part of holidays is trying to use a dial up network to communicate. So its back to the good old libraries to sort things out, catch up and say hello.

I did get to check some great sites though. If you remember storyteller John Shield you may like to check out his site, http://oznasia.blogspot.com/ and see what is happening in Thailand's storytelling scene.

I did get some other links, but where oh where did I put them.
