Crochet & Cakes
Okay, I finally finished ALL the squares for my granny square afghan/blanket/throw whatever it is. 9 colors, 11 squares each = 99 squares.

Jay Reatard (1980-2010)
I was deeply saddened when I learned about the unexpected death of Jay Reatard last week. While I did not know him personally, knowing people who did and seeing him around Memphis pretty regularly definitely made it feel like he was a part of my life. I was a fan of his music and every … Continue reading »
