Back at the beginning of this month, I marveled at having managed to forget my own birthday was coming. Now at the end of the month, I marvel that it's over. Swoosh, gone. Sigh.

Here are some cool things I've come by of late:

• Carol Ventura has started a blog, and it's awesome.
• Crochet Me is on the list of Ten Best Craft Sites over at DIY Life. Holy humbling group of sites, Batman! (And, um, I left a comment about our awful archive browser; browsing the site is totally revamped in Crochet Me 3.2.)
• Here's a fabulous beaded crochet bracelet tutorial, with perfect photos [via Craftzine].
• Speaking of great tutorials, here's another fab one about how to hand-wind a hank of yarn into a centre-pull skein [via Craftzine]

Aaand, I think that's all I've got. We're going on holiday in two weeks; if I don't come back more energetic, I might have to, like, start drinking more coffee, or something.
