And a very merry Thanksgiving to you as well.

I hope you had a lovely holiday, complete with large quantities of deliciousness and good company. And I hope that if you live outside of the US, you had the best Thursday you've ever had.
To celebrate, I am posting the link to a podcast interview I did while I was away at Stitches East. It was conducted by the girls at Craft Mentality, whom I've known online for many years, but never had the pleasure to meet in person.
Just to set the scene, I was interviewed in the middle of our booth surrounded by large quantities of people.
So as we're doing this interview, people stopped and gathered round. If someone gave me bunny ears behind my head, I would not have been surprised. It took all my concentration to stay focused on the interview because there was so much noise and so many people around.
So, just picture me:
sitting in that exact spot, surrounded by lots of noise and people and a person with a digital voice recorder. A very very nice person with a digital voice recorder. The fact that I sound the way I do has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with her.
I learned it is much easier to sound reasonably awake and intelligent in a quiet room than it is in a booth at a convention. I will add that to my list of Life Lessons Learned Through Experience. It's on the wall of my studio right next to the rest of the signs I have tacked up.
It's a long list. It also has things like, "Spilling black yarn dye on blonde hair = not good," and, "When in Estonia, don't eat the pizza." (I know, I'm probably one of the few people in the world who doesn't like pineapple and blue cheese as pizza toppings. Together.)
The first interview in the podcast is with my Yarn Love partner, Katie, and I am third in the broadcast.

And try not to hold it against me.

My 3.5 yr old son loves pineapple on his pizza and dips it in blue cheese sauce. Maybe he's part Estonian and I don't even know it! I thought he was 50% Puerto Rican and 50% mostly German and English but other stuff as well. Life lesson?
Your Photoshop/whatever program skills are getting better. :-))
I have to agree with you on the Estonian Pizza...I found out (to my displeasure) that a pepperoni pizza there is a tuna pizza!
