Bad Spellers

That’s me!

I can not spell and I always tell my students that we all have talents, I have many, but spelling is not one of them. My Dad can’t spell either and he writes music, poetry, journal entries and he also substitute teaches as a hobby in his retirement. So I’ve always told myself it is an inherited trait that can’t be helped.

When I came across this article in the New York Times entitled The Price of Typos By VIRGINIA HEFFERNAN and I saw this written in her piece I knew instantly it was a quote I would live by.

Bad spellers are a breed apart from good ones. A writer with a mind that doesn’t register how words are spelled tends to see through the words (s)he encounters — straight to the things, characters, ideas, images and emotions they conjure.

I like to think I am exactly that – well said!

T-Shirt Yarn Kits – Getting Noticed

I had to post a link to Mary Lou and Whimsy Too, who wrote a sweet piece about my t-shirt yarn instruction kit. Mary Lou, I want to see your necklace posted on the Flickr Group: T-Shirt Yarn – get to it! Happy Crafting.

Here is the necklace she is referring to in the post, made by the kit publisher, Carrie Bloomston of Suchity Such for the show.

I have been in denial about how sad my 1998 Jeep Cherokee was. I heart my jeep but the little red jeep that could is just having troubles keeping up. I have fought having to give it up because I love it so much but an era ended today. I had to face reality and ship her off to a Craig’s list retirement. Into my life is a used Prius. It is red and has many bells and whistles and I know we will be happy together. The short one is just thrilled that I now have a radio that works all the time and not just when we go over a bump or slam the car door just right!
