I&#39;ll feel better once we get to 8 years however; it&#39;ll mean not only did we beat the national average, but we&#39;ll have lasted longer than he did with wife #1. Yes, everything is a competition with me. But I suppose it is a good sign we talk all the time about what we&#39;ll do party/trip-wise for our 10 year anniversary. <em>Maybe</em> wife #1 will stop using his last name by then!</p><p>Hubster has now fulfilled his dream of becoming a model (well not really a dream, but something on his to-do list). My pal Shannon -- who had me model and do a painting project in her book <a href="http://alternationbook.com/">AlterNation</a> -- has a new book out called <a href="http://www.amazon.com/How-Knit-Woods-Projects-Outdoors/dp/1594850887">How To Knit In The Woods</a>. And looky who shows off his rockin&#39; sideburns for a shot?</p> <div at:enclosure="asset" at:xid="6a00cdf39c957dcb8f00e398f6adb20004" at:format="large" at:align="center" class="enclosure enclosure-center enclosure-large photo-enclosure" style="text-align: center;"> <div class="enclosure-inner" style="padding: 9px; border: 1px solid; width: px; margin: 10px auto;" > <div class="enclosure-list"> <div class="enclosure-item photo-asset last"> <div class="enclosure-image"> <a href="http://artyfarty.vox.com/library/photo/6a00cdf39c957dcb8f00e398f6adb20004.html"><img src="http://a2.vox.com/6a00cdf39c957dcb8f00e398f6adb20004-320pi" alt="BenBook" title="BenBook" /></a> </div> <div class="enclosure-meta"> <div class="enclosure-asset-name"><a href="http://artyfarty.vox.com/library/photo/6a00cdf39c957dcb8f00e398f6adb20004.html" title="BenBook">BenBook</a></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div><!-- end enclosure --> <p><br />He actually had his hair cut since, but still, I think it is pretty funny. No, he didn&#39;t get to keep the hat. Maybe this will lead for more gigs for him? He is after all, super skinny, which makes anything look good on him (calling Merc and Ben Sherman!). Maybe I should be his agent.</p><p>UPDATE: Speaking of models, I&#39;ve just been told I&#39;m somewhere around page 68 of Craft Magazine. Doing what, I do not know, but I&#39;m sure I was snapped with no make-up and unwashed hair. <br /></p> <p style="clear:both;"> <a href="http://artyfarty.vox.com/library/post/i-married-a-model---jealous.html?_c=feed-rss-full#comments">Read and post comments</a> | <a href="http://www.vox.com/share/6a00cdf39c957dcb8f00e398f6bec10005?_c=feed-rss-full">Send to a friend</a> </p> woods knitting models may 5th http://artyfarty.vox.com/library/post/cheap-art-swiss-ohio-and-yarn.html?_c=feed-rss-full nobody@vox.com(ArtyFarty) http://artyfarty.vox.com/library/post/cheap-art-swiss-ohio-and-yarn.html?_c=feed-rss-full http://artyfarty.vox.com/library/post/cheap-art-swiss-ohio-and-yarn.html?_c=feed-rss-full Sun, 19 Aug 2007 09:18:54 -0700 <p>So yes, the $1 Monday art sale will be on tomorrow at <strong>3pm EST</strong>. <br />I&#39;ll be putting up a whole bunch of things this time around, as I may be in the Swiss countryside of Ohio next week Monday...<br /><img src="http://www.sugarcreekohio.org/images/welcome.jpg" /></p><p>In the meantime, have a look at some <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=6765418">hand dyed yarn named after <strong>me</strong></a>.<br /><img src="http://images.etsy.com/all_images/d/da9/bc0/il_430xN.10470019.jpg" /></p><p>If you are into knitting and fiber arts at all really, check out the new <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5154600">Etsy shop</a> <strong>Stitch Cleveland</strong> has going for sure.<br /><em>Stitch Cleveland is a workshop space in Cleveland, Ohio where fiber and fabric come to play!
