welcome
To your left are the icons that will lead you to my shopping areas. I've completed the coding for my Belize Beer Coaster Store ... yay! ... and my Paper Goods store, featuring my own original collage designs as kNotes for kNitters © -- ruminations on Fiber Arts themes -- and Unfortu-Notes ©, in which strange things happen to presumably good people.
Outside my website, you can also visit my Etsy Store or my Cafepress Store to see my electronic collage designs on note cards, postcards, tee shirts, tote bags & more!
bye, bye blog
Yep, I've decided to blow off my Blog. There are plenty of other blogs out there, and not enough hours in the day to nurture one of my own. If and when I change my mind, I'll let you know!
free knitting patterns
I've
added a new section to my website to share the
knitting patterns I've
designed. All of these are free, so help yourself!
Currently you'll find patterns for my Better Catnip Mouse and my Belize Baby Blanket. Stay tuned for the first of my Archaeo-Knits patterns, a large tote bag inspired by Navajo weaving designs!
comments?
I welcome your comments, though I have to be coy about my email address to defeat the spammers: you can contact me at margaret [at] localgringos [dot] com. You know what to do, right? And fellow Ravelry members can find me there as "MaggieBelize".
sneak previews
My Auction Preview Room showcases the most interesting items I've found lately that I intend to sell on eBay. This area gives you a "sneak preview", and more info & photos than may end up in the auction.
Currently you'll find two fascinating autographs: one from the late Native American artist R. C. Gorman (who scrawled across Ann-Margret's face!), the other from Texas singing icon Willie Nelson, inscribed to "Mary ... flying too close to the ground"!
webwatch
Here are some of my current online favorites, the best things since sliced bread IMHO.
Just for fun: an interactive website that lets you build your own Kaleidoscope! Great time waster.
Dying for new episodes of
Knitty Gritty?
Then you should sign the
"Save the
Knitty Gritty Show" petition mounted by fellow knitter Cheryl
Dumont. Her petition asks the DIY Network to green-light
the creation of a new season, keeping
Vickie Howell
as hostess. DIY
reportedly believes that as long as knitters are willing to watch the
same reruns over & over, new shows aren't necessary! Personally, I was
signature number 2,490.
Paperbackswap.com ... Whoo boy, is this a fun site! It's like an all-you-can-read buffet. Get rid of the books you've read -- paperback, hardback, whatever -- by exchanging them for books you haven't. Last I checked, they had almost 2 million books listed! (If you like this one as much as I do, be sure to tell them I referred you and I'll get a free credit. My username over there is MaggieBelize.)
