Love me still

The release of "I Feel For U" in the 80s was a revelation to me. "Who is this Chaka Kahn? I lobes her! And I want her hair!"

But here's a phenomenally beautiful song from the 90s. A must listen.






(But just in case you need MORE Chaka...)

Nice kitty story!

Man, the things you find on BuzzFeed. This guy's kitten has a genetic disorder where his back knees no longer work! He can't run around and play. The dude was disheartened at the cost of fixing them, but a friend recommended GoFundMe.com and he's raised enough for one knee (in three days), and starting to raise for the other! Winslow will have his operation soon. We wish him all the best!

Homemade earring holder

In high school I wore earrings ALL the time. It was my thing. Sometime in my 20s I got rid of my collection because I was wearing my glasses all the time and big earrings & glasses = crazy old lady look. Too much going on.

But then I stopped wearing my glasses except when necessary, because they trigger headaches. And so I began to collect again. At home I have a jewellery organizer as big as my door...

I didn't bring any of them to Nanaimo, so I've been slowly amassing a new collection, and I needed a holder for them.

This is a rectangle of single crochet, crocheted onto two (thrifted) dowels. I added a scalloped border for attaching post earrings.

The dowels turned out to be handy for necklaces and bracelets.

Close ups!

Now when I get home I'll need a solution for my other obsession: scarves!
