Come On In

-
I have all kinds of fun for you today. I have so much to do, my brain woke up at 5:30, and rattled the rest of me till there was nothing to do but get out of bed and get on with it. 

We put our house on the market on Wednesday, promising to have it ready to show in a week. Friday morning we got a call asking if someone could pretty please come look at it on Saturday afternoon. Yipes! That puts the pressure on in a big way! We dashed off to Santa Fe for a few "staging" supplies, making sure to only buy things we want to have for the trailer once the house sells. We're putting air beds on the two bed frames in the house, and stuffing pillow cases with inflated plastic bags. I hope nobody decides to sit on these mock beds. We're not setting this up so folks can have a cozy nap time. I considered using the plastic bag trick on a wicker chair that needed a new cushion too, but that seemed too risky. I suppose somebody might want to sit down and ponder how much to offer us...

It turned out to be a longer day in Santa Fe than we'd planned, with construction traffic and seeing two bad accidents that had me just wanting to get home and away from the crazy Friday drivers. The trip through the canyon, along the Rio Grande, is beautiful and scary. The road is narrow, and you always have to remember that you're in New Mexico, and odds are, there's a drunk on the road somewhere nearby. To calm my nerves, I shot some short videos from the passenger seat. I'll share one with you here. You won't get much from the audio, since the truck rumble interferes with all the chit chat. Just turn the sound off and enjoy the ride to Taos!


And of course I want you to see our house too! Here's a link to the MLS listing, with lots of photos, and even a virtual tour. Peter Lora did a great job on it. The pictures are from a couple of years ago, so all the furniture is in place and the yard is looking good. We won't be dressing up the inside quite so much, but the cat smell has been taken care of, and it won't be long before we have the yard back in shape. Please share the link with everyone you know! You never know - someone might know someone who knows someone who's looking for just this house. And maybe the woman who's coming to look today will buy it. You'll hear me squealing from here if we get an offer this evening. 

Now come on in and look around. It's nice to have you here.

cats are not dogs, and how tangling string untangles frustration

As Airbnb hosts, we have lots of lovely interactions with guests while they're here, and with potential guests making inquiries before they book. I try to be really clear in our listing, about the house, amenities, and rules. The trouble is, some people would rather not actually read the listing, or if they do, they just ignore the parts they don't like. Oy. I mean really, who thinks cats and dogs are the same thing? Today I got a booking for two nights in March, from a very nice-sounding couple coming down from Canada. They were very excited to stay here at Mermaid's Nest , and everything was great... until I got to the part in their message about bringing their cat... Ruh roh... I had stated very clearly in our listing that we allow small dogs . Cats were not mentioned. Neither were goats, snakes, skunks, or rhinos, because I figured people would see that part about dogs , and at least ask before assuming all other animals were welcome. Oh, silly me. Apparently the...

where to buy what i make

I closed my Etsy shop recently. What??? Why??? Well, because I think Etsy has done great harm to the livelihoods of makers everywhere. If you do manage to get noticed, which is pretty difficult these days, it's impossible to compete with the pricing on so-called "handmade" goods that are mass produced in foreign countries. Equally frustrating to me is the number of actual makers who drastically underprice their work, effectively turning themselves into voluntary sweatshop laborers in order to stay in the game at all. I'm not playing. I would love to see makers of all fine handmade things everywhere reclaim a sense of dignity, and charge a fair price for their skills and talents. Until I find such a group of folks that I can join, I'm back to being on my own here, in my own little shop, charging a reasonable price for the quality materials and hours of work it takes to make the things I make. I feel good about this. The Shop, at the moment, contains exactl...

soft spring scarf

If you come here often, you know that I finished this pretty little swath of yarny love a few days ago. The yarn is from CandySkein , and I love it. A lot. It's a beautifully hand-dyed, washable merino fingering weight that was quite wonderful to knit with, even though I'm sort of a lazy knitter and usually use something quite a lot more bulky. This worked up into a delicious, lightweight-but-warm fabric that's perfect for between-season wear. Pardon my pilly worn-all-winter sweater, and focus on the scarf. It's my favorite style - an asymmetrical triangle, worked from end to end. It has a ziggy-zaggy edge on one side, and a smooth edge on the other. The pattern is called the Hitchhiker Scarf, and you can get it on Ravelry . I test drove this one for a day and loved it. But as I do with most of the things I make, I also decided to let it go. Only three have made it into my personal wardrobe for keeps, and I'm just fine with that. Make them, love them, let ...

and what do you do?

I'm in my outdoor office this week, at the picnic table on the patio. I have a favorite vintage tablecloth, lilacs in a martini shaker, and tea in my new favorite cup, made by Charan Sachar . I'm considering a new format for my blog, which I'll try here today. I suspect that only three people actually read this, and yet I persist. I like to write, so that can be good enough. I have lots of things to talk about, so I'm going to try dividing my time here between Life Stories and Ponderings, and of course, Knitting. Feel free to tell me what you think, or even just grunt if you're out there. Really, have no idea. Pondering... I like meeting new people. But I hate the inevitable moment when New Person will politely raise their eyebrows and ask me, "And what do you do?" It's sort of like the human equivalent of dogs sniffing each others' butts. We need to size each other up somehow , right? What better way than to sniff out what a person d...

yarn that speaks for itself

I've had this amazing ball of hand-dyed-and-spun yarn for months. It was made, and given to me, by my friend Valerie, which makes it even more special. I've moved it around the house, looked at it, held it, and asked it what it wanted to be, but it's been very quiet. I've loved it so much just as a ball of yarn, I was in no hurry to knit it into something else. Here it is with my great-grandmother's hand carved crochet hook. So much wonderfulness. Maybe sometimes yarn can just be yarn, at least for a while. As the weather got colder, I started think of hats. Not just baby hats like I make for the hospital, but big hats. For me. That wind on the beach can really bite a girl's ears in the winter. So, long story short, I knitted my beautiful, most favorite yarn into a hat. I found a really easy pattern for a beret, which Rick made for his daughter (yes, he knits a bit). Here's the pattern . It's really cute! And here's my hat. Also really cute. ...
