Sweater Grrrl
It’s all rainy and dreary outside. But I am tucked up at my little desk with both sugar-free hot chocolate AND Candy Cane Lane Tea (I stocked up at Trader Joe’s, and it is yummmmmmmy.) Too bad I actually have to do work! There’s actually so much paper piled on my desk, I don’t know where to even start. So I am procrastinating by posting to my blog. What else is new? ;)
Stayed up late last night finishing the scarf for hubby, and am hoping to get the measurements for the dog sweater tonight. In the meantime, I am working on a final garter-stitch scarf for myself to kill some time in between projects…and then I need to get ahold of some nice cotton string for my sister’s yoga mat bag. I think I already have some great yarn to make the scarf she is wanting, so that should be no sweat. If time allows, I might even make a matching hat and put some cuffs on a pair of gloves (this would be where I hope to get a grip on any latent crochet skills that I might have- so far, all my attempts have been pretty snarly lookin’.)
I also absolutely have to go through all of my wedding pictures- it’s been TWO YEARS, and I still haven’t done it. I have to make an album and get pix blown up for the bridesmaids and everything. Mom wants an album of pictures for Christmas.
My “craft room” (/spare room/guest room, etc.) is in a shambles. Knitting needles everywhere, books on every kind of project imaginable scattered far and wide, material and ribbons draped all over my sewing table, yarn snarled and snaked all over the futon. But when am I going to get to it? Not before the first of the year, that’s for sure! I also absolutely have to go through the garage with Alan. Now would be the perfect time, since the car is in the shop getting fixed. So we could get things all cleaned up and do the job right. There are still boxes and bags in there that have remained unopened since we moved in over a year ago. And the Halloween decorations haven’t made it up to the attic yet.
Tonight, Alan is talking about putting up our Christmas lights, and I am going to get the house interior decorated, the front bushes swathed with lights, and wrap the front pillar with the traditional garland and ribbon. Then we’re going to hit Christmas Tree Lane (http://www.fresno.gov/holidayseason.asp) for the walk-through, weather permitting. I am making my best attempt to get into the holiday spirit.
Whew! Just looking at all this makes me want to curl up and take a serious nap.
