what is happening to my camera?!?!

all my pics are blurry or rather more like "dusty" looking. i bought my camera back in january, and it was both highly rated/not cheap, so this should not be happening. maybe the lens is just dirty? i might have to find a camera shop around here where i can bring it in. argh!

this morning's less-than-crisp photo:


stove-top oats:
  • 1/3 c oats, 1/3 c water, 1/3 c vanilla soymilk
  • 1/2 banana
  • 1 T flax
  • 1/2 walnut-date kind bar
  • heaping tsp pumpkin butter
  • big spoonful almond butter

and cherries!


mmmm i . i just wish you could choose how much you wanted to buy, rather than having to buy a pre-measured bag, because the bags are usually huge! they were on sale for $4.99/lb yesterday at whole foods, and i tried to find a smallish bag, but it still ended up costing $7. that's a whole lotta cherries! but somehow i think i'll manage .

so i've found my next next crochet project! ha! this was in the new SPRING issue of interweave crochet (i really need to get a subscription). i "borrowed" the magazine from the store last night to look through. i love this pattern-- simple but unique.


ha, and the model is wearing SEVENS (jeans). see, crochet + fashion really do mix!!!

i found this next pic online-- someone who already made it! i absolutely adore it in red, so i am going to look for a similar yarn. although i won't be starting this for a while... i'm only about 1/3 to 1/2way through my current sweater...


dEnTiSt this afternoon! i would be très nervous but since i went 6 months ago and didn't have any cavities/damage, i'm not too scared... overall i've been much much (much) healthier than in the past, and i don't think intermittent symptoms would have caused any damage. i'm so thankful that i was blessed with strong teeth... i have no clue how i escaped any damage given how active my disorder has been at times over the years. expect a full report later!

  2. I love the sweater and want to learn how to make this stuff ASAP. How cute is all that and costs a fortune in the store. How much would the supplies cost to make that? I might take this up considering how cute everything is!

  4. hey susie,

    depends on the quality of the yarn... i'm a "yarn snob" and won't use the stuff at michael's. the good stuff runs usually from $5-$10 a ball, and a sweater will use anywhere from 8-12 balls (usually!). so it's not a cheap craft. i'd say $60/sweater is probably about right.

  5. hmmmm. knowing the price, I might stick to laziness but I guess it's a fun hobby too! and must be nice to wear something you created
