I'm back!

Sorry for the blog neglect. Last week, I was in hibernation while working on a grad school paper about Pentecostals and environmental responsibility (did you know the founder of Earth Day was a Pentecostal?). As such, I didn't really do much not related to my paper including cleaning my house or grocery shopping so now I'm in catch-up mode.

So what happened in the meantime. A lot!

I won a sweet auction on e-bay for this book:

There's no date but I'm guessing somewhere between the 40's and 50's. It has awesome patterns in it particularly for long stockings (I have developed a thing recently for both vintage knitting and thigh high stockings). If I'm doing my math right, though, the stockings are designed for a thigh circumference of 10." Yeah. That's what I thought, too. My calves aren't even 10" around. So I'm going to need to do some calculating to make them properly sized for modern adults.


Oregon Flooded
Apparently it's the worst storm in decades and there are these signs everywhere (this picture was taken on my way home last night when I had to drive through a road that had turned into a pond).


Oh. Wait. What's that? Dang it. Husband wants the computer (to his credit, he hasn't been on it much since I've been writing my paper) so I guess this is where this blog post is going to end.

  1. Okay, so I'm really glad you're working on your paper because your entry reminded me of something. Several weeks ago I came across a program on CNN about Pentecostals and the environment and I couldn't stop thinking of you so I wrote down some names of the people the interviewed and thought they might help in your research. Here they are: Greg Boyd (a pastor who's an avid activist), Richard Cizik (NAE President) and John Green (don't know from where but he's important because I wrote him down). Hope this helps. Maybe you can even frind the program or the report online. Good luck!

  2. CRAZY! I know my grandparents and all of my dear friends in Vernonia were hit pretty hard! Hope you're above water, now that it's Spring time! (And yes, it has obviously been a while since I've read your blog!) :)
