Day Off

I took a day off.....sorta - I did go to the store and made a really nice dinner for us. Yesterday, I cleaned house, did laundry, cut grass etc, etc and decided I needed a very down day which I did. I knitted this evening and did a lot of research on the computer for art/knitting too. I really do need to paint tomorrow so we'll see. Ah.....sleep...

It ain't easy being green!

I can't seem to catch up on anything! We had a great weekend in columbus - one of the best shows on Friday Night. I got to give my friend Donna her Smoke Ring and Wrist Warmers and she loved them and so did everyone else. The smoke ring is so nice because when it is cold (soon, I hope) you can cover your head without messing up your hair like a hat does. Of course, I still love my hats. I don't have a photo yet but I finished the first felted dog leash! How cool it is! I found the little thingie hook at Michaels too to put on the end of the leash. It's so simple - an I-cord for any length you want it then felt it. I didn't felt it too much because I want it to be long but it's very strong (at least for Yorkie's). I went for my 3 month check at the Doc and everything is fine and got my flu shot. I will probably get another one later in the season but I don't want to take any chances right now. We are around so many people and they all want to hug and kiss you - while I'm all sweaty coming off stage - yuk. My arm is sore but I'm glad I got it. There is so much to do around the house and I need to paint and I want to knit - you get the picture - Duh - I'm beginning to sound like Christy!!! Except without the kid stuff - I could never handle all that. We did have just a tiny tiny "touch" of fall in the air this weekend. It's suposed to get hot and muggy again by the weekend but surely fall can't be far away. Last week Matilda decided this ole Kermit Frog was her best friend. It's been down in the studio forever and she brought it upstairs and has been cuddling with it everywhere! And Tatiana is still on her 2 am play time! Kenny cut grass in the back today and I guess it was a lttle wet because right now they both have little green feet! And of course, they are in my bed on my new sheets - of course, they are worth it. Hope for a little rest this week and get something accomplished at the same time!

Christmas in August????

Smoke Ring or Cowl

Wrist Warmers

I've been knitting all summer - well, it takes me a while and although I'm getting better I am still such a beginner. I have so much to post (going back to Kenny's birthday) - I only got to download my pictures today since I got my laptop back. But tonight I sewed up little Wrist Warmers and I haven't counted yet - around 10 pair so far. But now I've realized I have birthdays before Christmas!!! So I'm dropping back and working on those. I did finish one project for my friend Donna in columbus. She is a beautiful, spirited 68 year old lady who comes to see me EVERY time I perform. She loves clothes and is very classy so I hope she likes her "smoke ring" and wrist warmers. The thing about the wrist warmers is I hate gloves and they are great to drive in - and they do keep your hands warm even without the fingers! So, I've done the laundry, cooked dinner, cooked for tomorrow night, cooked for the babies, packed, ran errands and now it's 1 am and I need to wind down - that means playing scrabble for a bit, then read until the xanax kicks in around 3am. I will catch up on the post hopefully this weekend - what am I saying I never post on the weekend! Oh well, everyone have a great one.

PS> I'm so ready for it to be cold enough to wear this shit....

I'm back (sorta)

Just a note to say I finally got my laptop out of the "hospital" Geek Squad and it's all better now. But cost an arm and leg - I was so hoping to save for the Mini but now have to pay for this one first! I'll get back to blogging but too tired tonight after a few weeks of work, trip to Florida, back to work, home, work - drive to a wedding in the middle of the night - back to work and everything in between so I need a couple days rest then I will try and post. I could sleep for a week!
