Things I’ve learned from Harry Potter

November 11, 2009

Yes, Harry Potter.
1. Inconsistencies and hypocrisy make the work go ’round.
2. Good may always triumph over evil, but evil people are more entertaining and are more often remembered than the heroes.
3. Nerds are sexy, but no one will realize it until you hussy yourself up a bit.
4. Apparently, some people find redheads with noses the [...]

In between work, homework, and writing my Master’s thesis, I’ve been a busy little bee. But I found some time this week to dye up some yarn, and I must say, I love everything I’ve dyed!
I’ll be updating the shop on Saturday October 31, 2009 at Noon PST. Here’s a little bit of a preview [...]
