it never rains, but

Popping up for air -- oh, well, and to make a bit of an effort cleaning up the house, because after the last month, and now finding myself in between projects, I'm noticing all the stuff I was either content to let slide, or didn't even notice was sliding.

But!  I have news!

Remember when I mentioned having my presentation selected for Podcasters Across Borders?  For the knitters out there, I probably should have put that in perspective, maybe by saying that for the podcasting world, that's a bit like a knitter getting a pattern accepted into Knitty.

But guess what?  I saw Amy Singer, editor of Knitty on Saturday, at the Downtown Knit Collective's Spring Frolic.  And she told me that a pattern I'd submitted had been accepted for the next issue -- Summer 2009.

So, podcasters?  That's a bit like getting your presentation selected at PAB.

Oh, hey, lookit me.  I've done *both* those things this year.

(insert huge silly grin here).

However, it doesn't mean that I don't have to clean the house.  This week is devoted to clearing up all the lose ends and un-dustifying the house, and then it's on to some serious work on that PAB presentation.

Oh, and the garden.  I'm late planting lettuces....

Congrats Katherine - that's Excellent news!! You may think those of us non-knitters wouldn't give a darn (I won't needle you with bad puns here) but the significance of this is clear! Well done!

Way to go Katherine!!

Based on this latest accomplishment, I'm looking forward to hearing some great yarns and purls of wisdom at PAB!

Thanks,everyone, for the kind words. It's been a good year so far, I think (knocking firmly on wood).

As for cleaning -- well, it is a PITA, but I do think the physical act of sweeping out the cobwebs has its metaphorical cousin. As I'm tossing stuff into the recycle and putting things back in a proper place and cleaning away the dust, I am finding myself preparing myself psychologically to move on to the next task.
