CountryMouse's Refuge

Jittery, don't know why. Well, partially money/bills. I need to be more careful about spending. Knitting and crocheting help to calm things.

Today: I *should* work on/finish my Spring Spiral Hat, but I may do another Easiest Shawl Ever instead, this time out of Red Heart Light & Lofty, something to wrap up in here in the house whenever I feel chilly--a fuzzy hug. It's fast and easy to make--the Q hook will set you free! :-D

Need to finish eating breakfast. Should do dishes...

I got so far as to get the yarn and the Q hook out for the shawl, but I didn't start it at all. Later I simply put things away again.

I finished a crocheted washcloth, started three more, knitted on another washcloth, and worked on my crocheted Spring Spiral Hat after all. :-)

I got in some yarn from patternworks today: Fantasy Naturale cotton worsted weight yarn by Plymouth Yarn Co. It came in hanks! I haven't gotten yarn in hanks in years! Good thing I have a wool (ball) winder. Bunnicula can be my "swift". Heh. All he has to do is the time-honoured thing of sticking his hands out in front of him so I can place the yarn on them. Then I wind from there.

(this is gonna show up after while when my tweets of the day come in)

I just got an email from a group on MySpace. They wrote a song called "Come On Outside", using one of my cicada recordings. You might have to go there in Internet Explorer rather than FireFox to hear the music. Here is their page. My part starts about 45 seconds in. And goes on and on and on...just like the Energizer Bunny. Geez, I talk a lot.

Soooo...I don't know if I should feel flattered or angry. I feel a bit of both. I was not asked permission; I have not been credited for the extensive sample anywhere. ::sigh::

Here are all my cicada recordings here.

What I have been twittering about today:

• 20:43 You may need to use Internet Explorer rather than FireFox to hear the music at MySpace. #
• 20:45 I still don't know if I should feel flattered or what, since I am not credited with the extensive sampling of my voice and recording. #
• 21:23 @Kigurumix I discovered I have More Friends of Mineral Town. But Cat'r just got Rune Factory: Frontier. It sounds good! #
