I've seen a few people talking about these beaded stitch markers, and I saw some in my (soon former) yarn shop. But, do they snag the yarn? That is my suspicion. The how to make your own beaded stitch markers is also the best how to bead instructions I have run across (though I admit I havn't been looking all that hard), and I'm happy it's up there.

While I'm in Seattle SFGate.com (San Francisco newspaper related site) is running a story on the first Peets opening in Seattle. A Peets which we have passed at least twice already.

So far our idealized concept of "walking around and seeing For Rent signs" is not quite working out, we'll see, may come back homeless.

I'll be looking for a new place to live for the next few days - go see what people did at the 24 hour Blogathon. Jennie posted pictures and notes from her trip to Portland, which nearly makes me wish I was moving there instead. And the Pet Rock Star^s, Shannon and Scott, wrote and recorded two beautiful songs. The Blogathon has raised nearly $100,000 this year. Wow.
