In the crafty blog world there are a lot of generous people. They offer free tutorials and patterns and occasionally they offer one of their handmade goodies. Wee Wonderfuls is one such generous soul. I entered the drawing to receive her sugarplum fairy and I won!

Check out the sweet bear that is holding up a sign that says Lily Bamboo. And if you go here you can see the sugarplum fairy that will climb the mountains and swim the lakes of Switzerland soon.

Yeah my poor Lily Bamboo…my even poorer Small Science ….what is up with me? well let’s see. I started my Online course at Drexel University. I’m obsessively checking the discussion boards every day. My work in the lab is finally progressing. After hitting a brick wall for the past weeks I seem to have finally found a door. The weather has improved tremendously which the biggest reason why I have neglected my poor blogs.

But I still manage a bit of sewing (my personal stress relief)…….

…….and a bit of reading (a stressful endeavor since I get so caught up in it).

This is a wordle. A word cloud generated by a program that can be found here.

I’m a bit down today …I’ll be back to my cheerful self soon I’m sure ….so I’m going to let TED inspire and awe you. I love TED. I could spend countless evenings watching these talks. Here are links to a few of my favs:

Arthur Ganson way cool especially the wishbone!

Freakonomics dude on the selling of crack.

Alan Russell on a new direction for medicine

I could really post a bunch more because there are some many…such as talks by Paul Collier as well Brain Cox. Great Ideas are being spread….

sorry but this is yet another test:

YEahhhhhhhhh Finally finally finally computers are sooooo frustrating sometimes.

Seems that if I want to post a picture on wordpress I need to blog from Flickr. This is a bit annoying… I’m sure it is a problem with my settings but I haven’t figured it out yet.. Aghhhhhhhhhh
