Oh, of course! She lived in our kitchen at our place on Ludlow and supervised my pie-making and chili-crockpoting. Now she lives in the bathroom and watches us shower for maximum creepiness.

Comment on 31 New Things: Grow out my Hair for the Whole Year [First Photo] by Emily Abigail

See, I’m kind of the opposite. I’m not very girly in any other way. But, getting my hair “did” regularly is something I’ve always “splurged” on. I’ve gone to the same ahh-mazing hairstylist since I was in high school. I trust her more than I trust most other people. Ha!

All this is to say, I am kind of trying to grow my hair out as well, but you are being much, much more successful than myself. You look lovely!

Actually, your friend was right – the word “slut” originally meant slovenly.

Might only have been its more pejorative application that made it to your side of the pond though!

Hello Amanda Lee, I have one of the Knit-0-Matic knitting machines by Chad Valley to sell and was looking for some info on how old it is. The machine is in its orginal box the same as your friends and in good condition for a Vintage item. Perhaps Chris’s mum Kathy can tell me how old the machine is? Sorry not sure how to send.

Comment on Throwback Thursday: Eleven Questions to Ask Before We Design, Buy, or Specify Anything by Mike

Mike — Sun, 06 Nov 2011 17:17:29 +0000

What if I say no to all these things? You can make the argument this limits creativity, but you can also say it may expand it. I guess the question is when is an appropriate time to ask these ?s

Hello Amanda Lee, The Magic Fingers machine looks just like the Sister Wonder Automatic Knitting Machine…I have two of those. Bought at different times but both are vintage and the whole machine had to be taken apart, rust sanded off every needle and new sponge bars installed. The ultimate product is worth it though. Tiny needles produce a beautiful close knit fabric. The Kenner machine produces a more loosely woven fabric. You might prefer one of the Bond machines…they’re actually less expensive (not paying for the “vintage” tag) if you find a used one on ebay and the keyplates allow you to select from 4 different tensions. (And those don’t have a sponge bar!) Good luck with your search for the toy.

I do most of the cleaning. Unfeminist as that sounds. I have a much lower threshold for mess, and honestly, I do a better job. It’s just easier. The rubbish and the floors are generally his domain, and he also does a lot of cooking (he’s better in the kitchen than I am).

Our sleep schedules are also pretty opposite, but he’s pretty good at sleeping with the light on.
