@drkknits Really? It looks pretty and sunny from my desk. The harbour does look a little more sparkly than usual…

---

@goshling That looks *good*. Also like the equivalent of about 8000 Fitbit steps. 🙂

---

So what do you all reckon? Can I use felt to make my nephew’s soft toy? It won’t be as awesome as fleece, but I can’t find orange fleece.

---

@RoseRed_Shoes http://t.co/ETJFz1xm

---

@RoseRed_Shoes Other options we thought of: maybe T-shirt material? Or even a cheap towel?

---

@Justacogitating I want to be A DEN-TIST! (That’s my favourite bit.) That and “BUMBLES BOUNCE!”

---

@Opheli8 I’ve done a kitty litter cake before, but never with a fake cat buried in it.

---

@redambition @RoseRed_Shoes Score! Spotties at Birkenhead has orange fleece. I’ll have to try to get there after work tomorrow.

---

@redambition I would say yes, but you’d probably have to go tomorrow too. (I think they’re only open til 5:30 most nights.)

---

@redambition So I might as well just go tomorrow and get it right away. But thank you!

---

@redambition Sure, if you don’t mind a hitchhiker! I’m usually here til 5:30, but I can make arrangements to go sooner to meet you.

---

@redambition What time do you normally hit Broadway?

---

@redambition I can arrange to be there then! I’ll email you. 🙂

---

@lifeasdaddy This is a more articulated toy, so I don’t think felt is going to hold up as well as fleece. Luckily I found a source!

---

@drkknits I am apparently, like, 1/16th Cherokee or something. Or so my Aunt claims. You know, if you need me to approve anything.

---

Holy crap, I actually met my knitters guild resolutions for the year! That was unexpected.

---

@drkknits Only managed to ride my bike to Guild once, but I did it!

---

Playing “Carol of the Bells” in the office and telling my co-workers how @EileenDCoE has a phobia of that song.

---

@bonitoclub @witty_knitter I want all of that furniture. All of it.

---

Hmm. In terms of non-Halloween cookie cutters, I have: Round, Heart, Gingerbread Man, and Michigan. That’s not gonna work. #christmas #fail

---

@drkknits @GeorgieKnits Computer engineer barbie has her own iPhone app! But this year I got my niece a Lottie. 🙂

---

Jealous of everyone going to @yow_oz today!

---

@leonor_salazar Did you get it from GGD? I got one too but had to cancel due to stupid unavoidable meeting. 🙁

---

So tired of dealing with crappy marketing spam from people trying to take advantage of my sites’ PageRank.

---

@redambition Today a marketroid told me in all seriousness how my blog was relevant to the UK’s #1 laser eye surgery provider. Uh, no.

---

Hm. Having real trouble finding orange polar fleece to make a Christmas present…

---

Anybody going near Spotties tomorrow? Lincraft in the city was a big fail.

---

@Helen__H My nephew has discovered Calvin & Hobbes. http://t.co/izYOI8Dy

---

@_papergirl Thanks! I don’t have much time, so if I can’t get something local I might just go with backup plan (felt) instead.

---

Huh. The SMH updated their mobile site.

---

Hey @Y7News – I hate HATE when I click on a headline and it’s video. Please warn your users! Otherwise I’ll unfollow since it’s annoying.

---

Today I learned that the Lüneburger bakery under the QVB switched sides of the hall. It was surprisingly disorienting.

---

@pixel8ted If it’s new, it’s probably just that it’s stretching out. Keep playing and tuning and eventually it’ll stop, I think.

---

Took off my headphones to ask someone a question. Discovered the developers listening to “Someday My Prince Will Come” on the speakers.

---

Oh look. Convenors letter says that @drkknits is the new Exhibitions Coordinator. One would think she needed things to fill her spare time!

---

@merrinmez @drkknits Better than me. We’ve officially been shot down by both Loani and Jenny Kee. Back to the drawing board…

---

@merrinmez @drkknits I have a few names to ask, including her. I’ll take care of it in the next week…

---

@merrinmez Loani said that she emailed via the website several months ago, but no one passed it along to me. She’s booked up now. 🙁

---

Can you retrain your default stress response? Mine is to cry, and I hate it. On a related note, just leaving work now…

---

@betsybookworm I’m better at controlling it these days, but my shoulders and jaw ache from clenching all day.

---

The worst, WORST part is stressing over things I can’t control. It’s just useless. Maybe I could by hypnotised or something…

---

@artbuds I’d like to enter the Bacon ticket giveaway! kris.howard AT gmail 🙂

---

@3rd_Gen_ Good call. My doc gave me some that I’ve been hoarding for overseas travel, but I think I might need one tonight.

---

@AusVintageGrrl Just trying to finish off two big projects at work in the next 8 days while also making final preparations for overseas trip

---

@AusVintageGrrl Trying to avoid alcohol though. Been leaning on that crutch too heavily in recent months. Not good for me!

---

@LeeanneField Something like that. Seems to be a common problem for women. Somebody could make a fortune with a cure!

---

HA! Just discovered that Black Black chewing gum I picked at random today in Asian grocery is CAFFEINATED. Perhaps a stress contributor…

@imdominating Sweet!

---

Thanks to everyone for stress advice last night. Things are much better today (so far)…

---

Artisans Market is on. Bunting EVERYWHERE. (@ Eveleigh Market) http://t.co/oDfEDYtO

---

@pixel8ted First Sunday of each month at Eveleigh Markets. Lots of local craftspeople and artists. http://t.co/n0YHUhIr

---

Hm. What can I use to stuff a pincushion (to give it weight, like rice) that I can take into the US? I think most food products are out.

---

@Alegrya It’s a decent size. I could probably put a few of those in the bottom. That’s a good option…

---

@Alegrya Yeah, I’m also thinking about the little rocks they put in aquariums…

---

@redambition The tutorial on Colette is excellent. I refer to it every time I put one in!

---

Thanks for the pincushion suggestions. It’s just for the bottom; the top will be stuffed full of polyfill. I think glass beads are the go!

---

@RoseRed_Shoes Yeah, I don’t think they’re gonna let me carry that into the US! 🙂

---

@RoseRed_Shoes They might be okay. I’m just not sure how to interpret the rules: http://t.co/s5MypSBA. Figured I’d avoid if possible!

---

Happy to report @smark31 sitting up and looking like normal self, knitting and listening to the cricket. Put me to work washing fruit! 🙂

---

Christmas craftiness – it’s a pear pincushion! http://t.co/elyAWK3d

---

@redambition @SandraHW @witty_knitter Apparently @ReverseGarbage sometimes gets 1m rolls of paper. I’ve been watching their Twitter…

---

@web_goddess @redambition @SandraHW @witty_knitter Upon scrolling, I see @knitterjp already beat me to it!

@drkknits I just removed President Barbie from my Amazon cart for my niece and put Lottie in instead. 🙂

---

@drkknits @lemon_lime What was me. I was telling them about it at the Christmas tea. 🙂

---

@drkknits @lemon_lime It’s not available til April though, so not a good Christmas present. 🙂

---

On the 14th floor at the American Club. Beautiful view! @ The American Club http://t.co/diRiDJP8

The adorable French waiter just carded me. The drinking age here is 18. AND HE CARDED ME. My day = made.

Hey, @drkknits took a non-terrible photo of me! http://t.co/M7uDC0iK

---

@3rd_Gen_ Awww, thanks. I was mostly teasing @drkknits because she always takes terrible photos where I have bad posture and 4 chins. 🙂

---

@smark31 I have a video message to deliver to you from everyone! When’s better to visit – this evening or tomorrow?

---

RT @m_hef: As homeopathy & vaccine debate flares again, here is a useful guide to understanding how homeopathy actually works http:/ …

@ericscheid That’s probably due to me.

---

@ericscheid In a Venn diagram of Sydney knitters and Sydney Internet people, I’m smack dab in the middle.

---

Wow. 5 cranes at UTS for the salvage operation! @ Broadway http://t.co/Ee29f3sx

---

@smark31 I’ll come by in the morning then. Let me know if you’d like anything!

---

@twelveeyes PRETTY!
