A couple minor sidebar changes - two blogs that went out of "business" (Little Birds and Creating Textiles) have been replaced by two other blogs I read pretty much regularly (and will probably read more regularly now that they're just a click away for me).

Yarnstorm in particular has had a lot of interesting commentary the past few days - about "small pleasantnesses" and stitching as a way of getting yourself some peace and quiet in a hectic situation (She refers to women who were homemakers in the '30s but I see how the concept could apply to ANYONE, male or female, homemaker or slovenly housekeeper).

And Kucki (Karin) comments here fairly regularly. And I tend to like to 'reward' my regular commenters (those who have blogs, at least) with a link (for what that's worth considering that probably only something like 12 people read my blog, but whatever.)
