Trapped in analogue world, with no internets powerful enough to move pictures around, which means I'm basically limited to what my phone can do. So in lieu of trying to think up tons of clever stuff to write about, I've just rolled over and wimped out on the blog. Apologies. But a bunch of fun stuff happened! With pictures I'll someday be showing you! Until then, for the two of you who may not have given up on me altogether, I hope you are having a lovely fall with oodles of wool and fireplaces and warm beverages. I'll get this stuff sorted out eventually...Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04030226378063221515noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1782949985125348290.post-36911903913341362452011-09-07T21:30:00.001-07:002011-09-07T21:32:01.062-07:00pssssstmiss me? i'm over <a href="http://spindleshanksknits.blogspot.com/">here</a> now, let's not kid each other any more that i can manage the upkeep of two blogs. that's just crazy. <br /><br />see you in that other dimension!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04030226378063221515noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1782949985125348290.post-77181398825482820712011-06-11T22:42:00.000-07:002011-06-11T23:01:32.975-07:00this cool<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/viaproductions/5823628056/" title="impalado by vivian belletrism, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5320/5823628056_3b406bd5bf_z.jpg" width="640" height="414" alt="impalado"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/viaproductions/5823065491/" title="impalapunk2 by vivian belletrism, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2030/5823065491_ce081bf587_z.jpg" width="420" height="640" alt="impalapunk2"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/viaproductions/5823065569/" title="mohawk by vivian belletrism, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3131/5823065569_02d6ca4001_z.jpg" width="426" height="640" alt="mohawk"></a><br /><br />I came home this evening to this amazing 'do.

Fuji launched a limited edition set of push-bikes for the short stacks, which is not a new concept. push-bikes are recommended for little ones because it helps them build confidence and balance while more closely mimicking the grown-up pedaling skill while they run and glide. Fuji's Rookies, though, are made of durable steel instead of wood composite, move beautifully, are adorable as pie, and come standard issue with bell and stickers. which is really what it's all about.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/viaproductions/5473246042/" title="IMG_2596 by vivian belletrism, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5139/5473246042_7bd20630b5_z.jpg" width="640" height="427" alt="IMG_2596" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/viaproductions/5473246184/" title="IMG_2597 by vivian belletrism, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5173/5473246184_a26b66280f_z.jpg" width="640" height="427" alt="IMG_2597" /></a><br /><br />Anatole has proven a zealous adept and coasts in elegant freewheeling sine waves for entire city blocks, carves cookies and rooster tails (well...almost), and sometimes with daddy's help he even flies across busy streets, E.T. style, squealing with delight.<br /><br />this is his very best roar:<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/viaproductions/5472652537/" title="IMG_2600 by vivian belletrism, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5218/5472652537_452ec38965_z.jpg" width="427" height="640" alt="IMG_2600" /></a><br /><br />a good bicycle will do that for you, man. this is what we do best in Portland, we love our human-powered vehicles, we do. now let's boogie!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/viaproductions/5473245666/" title="IMG_2585 by vivian belletrism, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5300/5473245666_1f1b283021_z.jpg" width="427" height="640" alt="IMG_2585" /></a>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04030226378063221515noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1782949985125348290.post-59113003262430849212011-02-19T23:17:00.000-08:002011-02-19T23:26:03.774-08:00wondering where i am?Sorry about that, folks.

I enjoy the ride, though, especially on beautiful October mornings. We've been lucky with the weather so far, but that luck is not going to hold and I know that I will be cold and soggy on the slog very very soon. Perhaps even tomorrow. But Anatole will be cozy and dry in his little trailer, at least, packed in with mitties and blankets and a rain cover...<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/viaproductions/5124824612/" title="burly by vivian belletrism, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4067/5124824612_d1e199b683_z.jpg" width="640" height="428" alt="burly" /></a><br /><br />I took the camera along the other day, figuring it would be one of the last good days when I could without risking water damage.

going to be up and running -- i promise! it has one measly little post at the moment but i intend to remedy that very soon and that's where anyone can go who cares to check out all of my knitting and spinning ventures and misadventures....<br /><br />we also recently had a very fun photoshoot with my best partner in crime, <a href="http://www.dull-roar.com">Alex</a>, and i will have more pictures from that going up somewhere soon, but here's one that Anatole shot of us together, both wearing hats of her own design (and strangely dressed alike, as well...good taste is just so catching, i guess!):<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/viaproductions/5053778673/" title="IMG_1255 by vivian belletrism, on Flickr"><img

roles to play on different sides of the camera. stick one in my face and i'm guaranteed to kind of freak out on you, or just freak out in general. <br /><br />also we are all back in school (well, one teaching, one learning, and me just kind of doing my thing at work and play) which is why i have to go make breakfast now instead of updating more. soon my pretties, very
