Dear Kerstin,

Wednesday, 31 March 2004 10:12 A GMT-06
In regards to you comments posted March 30, 2004How could you let my secret out? Now I will have to dodge the media to keep my "drug" addiction from going mainstream. Or maybe you are just trying to force me into a drug rehab program at one

Not much to report

Due to medication that puts my lights out I did not accomplish much yesterday. As soon as Elder was up and fed I went back to sleep. Then once Younger was up, fed and driven to school, I went back to sleep. Then they got home and I had to wake up, ma

Just a sleeve to go

Monday, 29 March 2004 3:40 P GMT-06
Sunsette Baby is coming close to the finish. On the first sleeve's cuff (top down) and then one more sleeve to go. It's been a pleasant knit with little problems. The worst problem was converting the sleeve to circulars, didn't want to seam with this

The Sunsette always rises

Sunday, 28 March 2004 12:49 P GMT-06
But I guess it's really a sunrise. Well, my Sunsette is rising higher and higher. I have the front and back joined and I am knitting the first pattern repeat. It's a basic Feather and Fan style pattern. Spent time knitting on it while waiting for my

Take the poll, get on the roll, just do a scroll, down

OK, give me a vote on how you handle those knitting deadlines, time frames or goals. Let's see how neurotic, laid back or pressed for time we are. And check out the comment someone left in regards to the previous post!! "New goal recommendation:

Guess who won the battle

Friday, 26 March 2004 11:20 A GMT-06
Why Self of course! But there was good reason. I had a Dr. appointment yesterday and needed something not quite so big to lug around. So I took Sunsette Baby Sweater with me. And boy did I get far with it. Well, actually I had only been able to cast

What will I a-muse you with today?

Goals. I know, it's not very A-musing. But it is on my mind. In going around the blogs I see many people who have clear defined goals in working on their projects. I also see people who don't. I try so hard sometimes to set goals for finishing things

I'm back from my adventures!

Wednesday, 24 March 2004 9:03 P GMT-06
Quick recap. Sewed valances, packed car, met sis for lunch, drove home, unpacked CAR and YARN, don't ask about the other stuff. Here's the stash enhancement: Cascade 220 for various projects, Debbie Bliss for Elder's knitting project, Manos Stria for

I'm behind schedule!

Wednesday, 24 March 2004 8:05 A GMT-06
Well, I am not getting things done here as quickly as I wanted. Do you know how much of a pain it is to iron fabric to a roller shade? So the last 2 will be done at a Dry Cleaner, they have much bigger presses than my sister's little ole iron. But al

Third Times a Charm!

Monday, 22 March 2004 11:59 P GMT-06
This is the third attempt to post this. 1st time my Youngest took it out by leaning over the keyboard. The second time I took it out after doing a Window's upgrade on my sister's system. I had hit the publish link and before it finished posting I h

I finally gave in

Monday, 22 March 2004 9:32 A GMT-06
My eldest has been begging for a website of her own. I have been putting her off. Not really sure what she could do with one at this point, or why she wants one. But I finally am giving in. I agreed to allow her to have a blog so she can do whatever

Just what happened to the weather?

Sunday, 21 March 2004 1:57 P GMT-06
Just look what I had to do today! Not work on Sophie, although I am ready to finish it in moments. I had to put on wool socks! Wait, yesterday I had on thin socks, short sleeves and a light denim shirt. Today I have on wool socks, turtleneck and if I

My lovely morning!

Saturday, 20 March 2004 4:39 P GMT-06
It started very early with my youngest hitting me with her arms and kicking me with her legs, so she was put back in HER bed. I went back to sleep! Then I got up later to get ready for knitting! We meet once a month on Saturday at the Wadi Cafe and t

Can the warm weather be lurking around the corner?

Friday, 19 March 2004 1:42 P GMT-06
Good News!!!!! The Green Sweater has returned! It was at my cousin's house, we were there in Feb for a birthday party, DH brought girls home so I am sure that's why it got left.It feels like it, it looks like it, with the bright sunshine, just maybe

No slump today!

Thursday, 18 March 2004 4:06 P GMT-06
Not the blog functions, they are still iffy(they are getting close to being capable). I mean my knitting. It's a good thing I didn't have a big project going, I found some inspiration. Yesterday, when I went to tutor, the teacher of my second grade s

Not much to say

Wednesday, 17 March 2004 11:59 P GMT-06
I have some un-felted goodies to show. First is the Plymouth felted bag I am doing for a shop sample. This is the small version. I think I could have gotten the large version out of the skein I have enough left over. And then onto Fuzzy Feet for my

I am getting tired of this!

Tuesday, 16 March 2004 11:59 P GMT-06
Update: Got the skinny about why the photo album has changed to it's less than wonderful new version. So bloggers can have "comment competitions"? I guess I am just not into the hip blogging world because I haven't a clue what it is or why

What a weekend!

Monday, 15 March 2004 2:04 P GMT-06
It was fun, but tiring. I got 2 valances and 1 pillow sewn. The last valance is cut and 2 pillows are cut and waiting to be sewn and 3 shades didn't even get cut or ironed! So I am going back up next week during Spring Break for the rest. The girls l

Help!

Saturday, 13 March 2004 11:59 P GMT-06
I am being held hostage in a house without high speed internet!!! Do you realize how slow stuff loads in a place like this? Well I guess it's good that I am not able to surf easily, I will get more sewing done that way. I am making new valances for m
