Well, after a short hiatus, I'm back. I finally have a computer that works with Vox.

So ... alas, more knitting goodness coming in the future.

A Little Stay Away

nobody@vox.com(Miss Beehive 1963) — Sat, 11 Nov 2006 10:50:32 -0500

I just wanted to let all the readers of my blog here know that I won't be using VOX for awhile. It's not my choice; my computer will not let me display ANYTHING on Vox. So, for now, I'll be residing at Live Journal.

Farewell, Eko.

MR EKO!

Those of you who watch LOST know that anything can happen at any moment on that show. Last night, my favorite character, Eko, was killed by the Black Smoke. This was, in my opinion, very unexpected and out of place. So, I found this short video on YouTube.

Hot Socks!!!!

nobody@vox.com(Miss Beehive 1963) — Mon, 23 Oct 2006 17:35:49 -0400

Well, I was having a pretty shitty day ..... until I got the mail!!! My package from Hot Socks arrived!

Sharon, who's blog can be found here, sent me some awesome stuff!

Hot Socks!

So, in the package were .... two skeins of Lorna's Laces in Purple Iris. I LOVE this yarn. She was right, I can imagine how hard it was to part with it! She also included a pattern for socks and a bag. There is a giant bath fizz ball that smells like Christmas Trees (and it has a prize inside!!), some Halloween chocolates (I love British chocolate the best!), a tea light candle (it says Happy Day around the side), and two boxes of tea!!! There is vanilla and earl grey.

Close up on the yarn ....

Yarn!!!!

She also included this awesome post card with a short message.

Thank you thank you THANK YOU, Sharon, for the wonderful package!!!!! I just love everything in it!
