Ishbel A-Go-Go!

Published by admin under Knitting

Wordpress has this nice little feature where you can see what terms people are plugging into their respective search engines to navigate to your blog.   The Road to Lemontines can be found, apparently, by typing “japan, geisha, bird poop, face,” “penis pattern sew” and “paper doll knitting.”
 
But, the most frequent search term?  Ysolda Teague. 
 
So, it [...]

The First Amendment on a Thursday

Published by admin under Rant

So, this young attorney dropped by our office recently, wanting to take his novel theory of defense on a test run, see if it passed the laugh test.  Basically, his client was accused of saying nasty things about the police.  He wanted to put on a First Amendment defense. 
 
A few weeks later, I ran into said attorney, [...]

The “Baker” Strikes Again!

Published by admin under Baking

Wendy, baker extraordinaire strikes again! This time, with her intrepid sous chef, Mr. Tall.

Ignoring Lemon’s sage advice to stick to knitting, I ventured back into the kitchen to make this year’s easter Extravaganza, Spring Flower Cupcakes. After my creativity has taken hold, and I work my icing magic, I will put Williams Sonoma cupcake [...]

Published by admin under Movies

So, on Monday, Joe and I saw Adventureland.  I was really looking forward to Adventureland — or at least I thought I was.  The truth is, I was really looking forward to the Adventureland soundtrack circa 1987, and therein lies the error of my ways – rather than sitting through a rather bland coming-of-age tale [...]

Oh-So-Far From Being Finished Object Monday

Published by admin under Uncategorized

 
Look!  My first quilt block, complete!  Only 72 bows, and 8 blocks left to go!

Finished Object Friday and a New Adventure

Published by admin under Knitting, Lemon

Officially a Fuddy Duddy

Published by admin under Uncategorized

 
Thank you, thank you, thank you!  It was a double night of happiness on Dancing with the Stars, as both the porn star (uh, I mean model/reality star) and the woeful Wozniak were sent packing.  Thank you to everyone who voted to save my two nights of sacred t.v. knitting time – and I’m sure [...]
