FYI, I’ll be blogging over with Marina at Clear As Glass from now on. Having a blog with Marina is something I’ve wanted to do for awhile now, and I’m excited it’s finally happening!
Also, I will be continuing my 100 Great Movies over there too.
I’ve enjoyed blogging under the title “Blazin Sticks”, and I’m leaving [...]

I don’t feel that I did this movie justice in my last post. So I’m going to talk about it some more.
Wait! don’t leave! let me convince you!
First off, let me just say, I was looking forward to this movie as soon as I heard the Chris Pine was in it. I am a very [...]

So, I went on vacation last week…..finished a book, bought a magazine.
The magazine I bought was the Spring/Summer 2009 Vogue Knitting. Now, I have kinda shyed away from VogueKnitting since Adina Klien left (and I would still like to know why she left, because I LOVED Vogue knitting when she ran it). Trisha Malcolm, I [...]

Although the summaries are written by me, these are my comments.
6. Clueless – Based on Jane Austen’s Emma, Cher enjoys fixing up couples…especially when it improves her grades! Except that not all couples she fixes up work out the ways she wants them to…starring Alicia Silverstone, Paul Rudd, and Brittany Murphy.So nineties…but very amusing…WHATEVER!***

Dear Meg Cabot,
Thank you, thank you, thank you for writing all the many wonderful books you do. As I reread through “The Princess Diaries” series – which I loved the ending to, by the way, I am struck by how AWESOME your books are, again. They are perfect escapist reading.
In fact, your books have always [...]

I don’t really talk about sewing on this blog…in the “About Me” part, I list it as one of my hobbies, but I don’t really talk about it. This is because when I learned to knit, knitting blogs were becoming big on the net. But I’ve been sewing since I was a little kid, and [...]

I didn’t mean to disappear from the blogosphere for so long! I guess I kind of got distracted…finishing up my first year of college (I passed Calc!) and then moving home for the summer (I SWEAR I’m not taking that much stuff to school next year. Seriously, it was RIDICULOUS.
In liau of picture of the [...]

So I finished this sweater last week….the “Elizabeth Bennet Cabled Cardigan” from Stefanie Japel’s Fitted Knits.
When I first saw this sweater, I KNEW I had to knit it….it is named after one of my favorite heroines of all time (although I think Persuausion may have surpassed Pride and Prejudice as my favorite Jane Austen novel). [...]

Red Riding hood Beret
They say that necessity is the mother of invention. Well, I didn’t need this beret, but I wanted to make a slouchy, lacy, red beret from the yarn I had left over from my red cardigan….this is the result!
Lace pattern based on “Little and Large Diamonds” from Lace & Eyelets: 250 Stitches [...]

The sweater is the “#6 Cropped Hoodie” from the spring/summer issuer of Knit 1. I decided not to put a hood on it, and also to put buttons on it instead [...]
