Happy New Year! Happy various holidays since the new year started.
I admit this blog has been left unattended for quite some time (embarassingly). I’ve been meditating and ruminating over what to do with it, what I want it to be, and how I want to focus it. I’ve decided to make LittleBerryStudio my web site for all things creative and hands-on, in a crafty sort of way. But also in an artsy sort of way, and maybe even a digital sort of way. I like making things. And trying out new things to make. I’d like to share the things I make (my projects) and how I make them (patterns and tutorials) with you in the craft world. LittleBerryStudio will be my place to share these things with you.
Currently, I’m working on a new design for this site. I was going to wait to post anything until the new design is completed. But it isn’t going as fast as I would like. Keep an eye out for the new look. I’m aiming for the end of the month to have it done.
Best wishes to all and may the worst of this year better than the best of last year.

Summer is pretty much here for me. Kiddo is done with preschool and my spring quarter is over in less than two weeks. We have a couple of trips planned for this summer and in addition to those, I’ve created a list of things I want to do/accomplish before September:
- Do fun things with Kiddo. He will turn 4 this summer and can do so much more this summer. I’m excited about the possibilities. I expect us to spend a lot of time in our bathing suits.
- Participate in Pattern Review.com’s 2008 Stash Reduction Contest. Big motivator to use up the fabric I already have. I hope I will be able to get a lot done with this.
- Bring some love and attention to this site: post more, update the design, promote the site.
- Develop our emergency plan. This is something I’ve been planning to work on for some time. Now that I’ve written it down, I really plan to focus on it.
- Keep up with the vegetable garden. Maybe actually do crop rotation. First to go into the planter: grape tomatoes, basil, carrots (2 kinds), green beans, sweet peppers, and sugar baby watermelon. The watermelon will take some thinking: I’m hoping to grow them vertically which itself isn’t a problem. Heavy fruits are a problem so I’ll need to design some watermelon bras and figure out some way to suspend them. Should be interesting.
That’s it for now. I’m never short of projects so I’m sure I’ll think of something else. Oh yeah, did I mention we’re heading out to Yellowstone for a week?

I decided it’s time to catch up with what’s new with ActionScript 3.0. It’s a little depressing–I barely got to know ActionScript 2.0. But a grrl’s got to keep up with the times. I picked Gary Rosenzweig’s ActionScript 3.0 Game Programming University as a good place to start. I’ve used some of his books in the past and find he makes game programming for small-to-medium sized games fairly accessible. And these are just the sort of games I like to noodle around with. When Macromedia first introduced ActionScript 1.0, I created this tile puzzle game as an effort to wrap my brain around the new scripting language. I hope to do the same for ActionScript 3.0. I’ll update this post with a more in depth review once I’ve finished with the book.

This site is having a new theme developed for it. Please excuse the dust and mess and general confusion while I’m redecorating. Check back as often as you like to view the progress.
