And here I thought I was a boring and practical dresser!

Glamorous Soul 59% Tastefulness, 53% Originality, 50% Deliberateness, 65% Sexiness

[Tasteful Original Deliberate Sexy] You choose your outfits carefully according to many criteria. You don’t like looking cheap, dull or random and you go to great lengths to avoid this. You are successful, too. People admire your taste and sex appeal. Many try to imitate you but not many can recreate your unique style. Sometimes, however, they find you too intimidating to approach. If you don’t wear retro style yet, perhaps you should consider it. It would become greatly your sexy, mysterious self. The opposite style from yours is Fashion Enemy [Flamboyant Conventional Random Prissy].

Some things you really don’t need to be told, but for those who’ve never been in a small, poor Southern town, here’s my old hometown in a nutshell: Harrisburg, AR Houses, Apartments, Cars, and Residents Info. I found this with Google image search as part of a meme (found at Reecie’s) where you post the first (or favorite) result for each. Can you guess what my answers are?
* The name of the town where you were born – okay, already answered that one.
* The name of the town where you live now
* Your name
* Your grandmother’s name (just pick one), second image
* Your favorite food, this page is sooooo cool
* Your favorite drink
* Your favorite song
* Your favorite smell
It’s good to know that with “Moderate SafeSearch” on, you truly don’t get any freaky pictures!

First, my dear old Sonnet.

Made in Cotton-Ease, with Fun Fur trim (a horror to some, but I like it), with a lace pattern called ‘Small Diamonds’ that I found in my vintage McCall’s Needlework for the patterned panels. It’s not really asymmetrical, it just hasn’t been blocked and it’s been on my couch for a week now. It’s insanely comfortable, including the furry bits, and exactly the weight I wanted for a general-use cardi.

Then, there’s my little naptime project, the “Inspired by Tatting” set.

The pictures I took of me wearing the set are awful, so you just have to look at them one at a time. Anyway, they’re made with hematite-finish 11/0 seed beads and Czech fire-polish beads, and large faceted hematite drops on size D Nymo. Oh, and sterling findings: leverback earrings and a cool circular hook clasp. The pattern is adapted from a project in the February 2003 Bead and Button, with some daisy chain thrown in. It took only 5 hours to make, which is way less than my usual beadwork!

How amusing is this? Of course I think I’m smarter than other people, but this proves it. Or maybe, just particularly smarter than OK Cupid subscribers… Dunno why I have such a hard time passing up these little tests.

Very Well-Rounded You have: 62% SCIENTIFIC INTUITION and 70% EMOTIONAL INTUITION

The graph on the right represents your place in Intuition 2-Space. As you can see, you scored above average on emotional intuition and above average on scientific intuition. (Weirdly, your emotional and scientific intuitions are equally strong.) Your Emotional Intuition score is a measure of how well you understand people, especially their unspoken needs and sympathies. A high score score usually indicates social grace and persuasiveness. A low score usually means you’re good at Quake. Your Scientific Intuition score tells you how in tune you are with the world around you; how well you understand your physical and intellectual environment. People with high scores here are apt to succeed in business and, of course, the sciences.

The munchkin and I actually got some sleep, and the daddy got to play on his XBox. But that baby is still kinda crabby, so I’ve been wandering aimlessly on the web, ’cause it’s the easiest thing to do while holding a little wigglypants.

Let’s start with Stuff On My Cat, via semaphoria. We sit odd things on our cats, but nothing like these people!

From spinning-jenny (at Reusablog) who is participating in a blogathon for charity this weekend, Green Gift Guide. Californiacentric, but interesting. Jennie’s cause is Project Linus.

I’ve already forgotten how I got here: Dr. Carol Ventura, an art professor with quite an interest in tapestry crochet (among other fascinating things). Anyway, her site led me to Black Purl Magazine and this rather nifty bead crochet bracelet.

My normal blog visits landed me at Yarn Harlot, where she has posted this gorgeous Snowdrop Shawl. I should pick my Evening in Eden shawl back up, I’ve been eyeing all the pretty lace being knitted on the internet!

Good for hours of fun, the Optical Illusions and Visual Phenomena site has all sorts of nifty eye-boggling things!
