My Peeps!

Time to show off the new glasses!
I am really loving the brainy-specs.  It didn't even take long for coworkers to notice them on Saturday!  Oh, last working Saturday for a few weeks, another reason to be happy!  My new sunglasses haven't arrived yet, but they should soon enough.

The house is looking better than ever.  I'm boxing up loads of stuff so it'll be easy for the guys to put in my new flooring.  Wood floors in kitchen, living room, and hall.  It should look very unified by the time it's done.  And hopefully be easier to remove Saffron's hair!  I'll get an area rug to keep my tootsies warm near my chair, but other than that I should have an easily-sweepable surface.

I still have to pick a travel project for my next journey.  Something for the movie swap?  Something for me?  The shrug still isn't done, and the to-be-felted bag needs finishing but involves four big balls of yarn... maybe Mystery Projects 2 and 3 need to get started... just a bit of a hint, they're a hand item and a neck item.

Then there's the Whoops! project.  That requires some explanation, I suppose.  I should have gone to work at noon last Saturday.  I arrived at 9 am.  Whoops!  So, I went over to the yarn shop to shoot the breeze while I waited.  Of course, Bex convinced me to join the Mobius scarf class, even though I'd already made one mobius!  It's not hard for her to convince me, really.  I bought some lovely merino and yet more needles and got to work.  It'll be a present for one of my aunts, since I'm not wild about pinks and fuschia, and have loads of scarves already.  We'll see how basket-weave translates to mobius knitting!

Home and hearth... okay, so calling my knitting my "hearth" is a little bit of a stretch, but it is quite a cozy thing, don't you think?  And both are things I'm gaining more pride in.  A beautiful house and creative endeavors, there's the dream.  Well, the part of the dream that involves things, anyway.
