    Crochet anyone?

    I tried my hand and a vintage crochet bag pattern this weekend. I sort of got lost. lol Figured that it couldn't be THAT much harder than following a knitting pattern. [huh] Are vintage crochet pattern instructions different than modern day? I'd like to find a book to teach me crochet so then I...

    What Are You Reading

    Metro Stop Dostoevsky by Ingrid Bengis. I'm not much for reading fiction, but non fiction is especially fascinating to me. This book is about the author's stay in Leningrad before/during the coup in Russia (what was that? 1990? 91?). I was in Russia in '93, so a lot of what Bengis writes about I...

    San Francisco...a little help?

    Thank you SO much! This is what I was looking for. Both my brother and I love old arcade games, so the museum will be ace! My travel philosophy is that it's okay to do touristy stuff, as long as there is enough odd and unusual mixed in there for balance. :D

    San Francisco...a little help?

    Huzzah! lol I would love to just take a look at the vintage shops, if not to buy, then to peruse and chat. I'm down for the cable cars. I don't think my brother OR I have ever been on them even though we've both been to SF before. I'll talk to my brother and then PM you? Thanks!

    San Francisco...a little help?

    Hey all! So, my brother and I are very likely going to SF in March (We're going to see Nile and am very excited :D ). We'll be arriving late Friday, March 21st. The concert isn't until Saturday evening. So there are two questions here. What should he and I aspire to do/see on Saturday? The...

    Are You Brave Enough to Share Your Prom Photos?

    Instruments - what do you play?

    i'm the black sheep of my very musical family (mom: piano, organ, violin, guitar, trumpet, vocals, composition. dad: pretty much everything, but he sticks to synthesized new age stuff. step-dad: guitar, bass guitar. brother: piano, guitar, bass (guitar and upright), drums, trombone. grandma...

    It's magic....

    I feel the same way, Penny. I have my grandfather's high school yearbook (I want to say 1927...but I'm not sure) and it's in really good condition. I never knew my grandfather, he died before I was born. My mom and grandma would talk about him, but never in detail. No stories...just general...
