Obsess much?

 

I'm watching t.v., talking to someone, or more likely listening to a book on CD (right now it's Outlander by Diana Gabaldon) and I look down and I'm crocheting. I didn't even know I was doing it. I can't stop! I might need an intervention soon. I'm waiting for yarn burns to appear on my fingers. Everyone is getting something crocheted for the holidays. Send in your requests.
There are pics of two projects done at the bottom of the post.

Another thing I've been obsessed with are wikis. I can't get enough of them. I love pbwiki. (http://pbwiki.com/) There is another wiki site but I haven't ventured there yet, mainly because I can't remember what it is. In case you've never been to one, seen one, had one, a wiki is a site where, how do I say this, it's a web page that you set up and you can give the password to selected people (or anyone) and they can edit it also. Neat business tool, although I've never used it that way.

I opened one once for a kind of un-offical work hangout for my coworkers and I, but it died out. It was cool while it lasted. We had a recipe page, and a pet page, yada yada.

Over this last summer I opened one for my daughter who took a trip. I kept it private (verses public) and gave only my mom and daughter the password so we could all keep track of what needed to be done and her schedule. My mom would ask what kinds of food my daughter liked and we added a page of favorite foods with pics and recipes. Another page of it had her flight times (remember this was private only) so there would be no mix up.

Right now I have two separate wikis. One is for writing, where I have pages for the different stories I'm working on, a brainstorming page, favorite links I use as writing tools, and neat pics that give me ideas. No one has that password and I've kept it private. I opened it and put it online so I could get to my stories when inspiration struck and not have to wait until I got home and first kick off whoever is on the puter.

My second one is for all the different crafts I work on. Dollhouse, crochet (damn you crochet for sucking me into your yarny hell again), painting/drawing, the boxes I paint, sewing, etc. There's too many and I'm still not done setting up all the pages. It's fun though, I can keep track of stuff I've done, post pics, save patterns and links I like.

Okay....I'm obsessed. I admit it.

 

Here's what I did the past two weekends.

Hooded Scarf and I'm almost done with matching wrist warmers for it.

Another set of Wrist Warmers

 

What are YOU currently obsessed with?
