all fashion and movie bashin
This weekend, I'm singlehandedly trying to bring macrame back in to fashion. All it takes is one person, one weekend, I'm sure. Everyone right now is all into yarn and ribbons, but wait until this macrame hits the streets, they won't know which way their knot is tied.
In case you missed the 70s, macrame is an often visually unpleasant form of the fiber arts. The process consists of taking colored burlap twine and tying it into knots. Occasionally, structural pieces and whimsical objects are added. Here is a picture.
By the way, if you have a choice about going to see Shark Tale, only go if you are the only parent and there is a kid you are taking with you. It's not worth the second ticket for the grownup.
Gads, have I turned into one of those webloggers who talks about her cats.

LOL on "gad....." Beth you have so much great technical and social comment, we can forgive you for an occasional - egad - personal (!) note. Signed the girl who posts pictures of her cat, dogs AND trees! :-)

I think there's nothing wrong with interspersing technical blogs with the odd post non-tech stuff.
People seem to be quite interested in my baby update ones :)
I'm sure we used to have a macrame Owl in our living room when I was younger..
I'm looking forward to the incredibles when it comes out
