Last year at this time, I mentioned the International Day of Yarn-bombing. Yarn-bombing is a relative new concept of decorating signs, lamp posts, trees, and other items outdoors with knitted or crocheted items. Those decorated items can be totally covered or not.
Today is the day, and...

As I have mentioned numerous times before, I am an avid bookcrosser and participate in various bookcrossing activities. Some of these activities include book-rings and book-rays, rabcks*, book boxes (physical and virtual), and book challenges.

The lazy days of summer must be upon us, or at least, upon me. It seems like it was just June, and now as I look at the calendar I see that it is nearly midway July. My New Year's resolutions to read more books is still intact, for now at least. My resolution to make 10K on my pedometer and stay...

Despite being risk aversive, I do try new things all the time. My latest thing to try will be to participate in the first annual International Yarnbombing Day, which is to be held on June 11. Perhaps yarnbombing is new to you, too, so I will try to explain the concept. I have to say that I had...
