Listless

Still working on my list.  I am determined to cross most of the issues off today.The 355 has been coming along nicely.  I’m pleased to say I’ve amassed quite a collection of hand spun.

Back to the list.

Studio Visit

Gabi was at my studio yesterday.  Here is a small sampling of some truly lovely photos that she took while there.  Now she knows exactly how disorganized I am (and it appears she is not going to hold it against me)





Stop Thief

A visit yesterday to one of Steveston’s many coffee shop turned into a giant knit fest.  Kim, Jennifer, Nancy and I settled in for a nice long knitterly afternoon.

I did something unusual, I frogged the cowl I was knitting in a gorgeous purple Malibrigo.  I just couldn’t get the look I wanted from the thick and thin yarn.  Frack…While I was watching everyone else’s projects grow, my shrunk, then altogether disappeared.

One highlight in our afternoon though.  Check out this little 15 month old thief taking off with my new Jordana Paige bag…..so gorgeous even a child wants to steal it!

Back to my evil “to do” list.

Running Away from "TO DO"

How did this list get so long.  Really.  It’s unfair.  Grossly so.

  • Exchange of a hat to be sent out.
  • 3 felt hats
  • 2 ginseng hats
  • finish stack of pirate hats
  • agenda for VAC meeting
  • find questionnaire for WFM board
  • purchase and understand new accounting software
  • loads of laundry
  • clean house
  • buy groceries
  • tune a kromski mistral (return a sonata)
  • dye more yarn to finish jury piece
  • finish and submit jury pieces
  • print and mail application for other shows
  • clean house
  • buy more cat litter
  • banking
  • bathroom
  • clean studio
  • cancel Monday’s class due to over committing

I’m sure I could add more things to this list, but I’m thinking I really shouldn’t be blogging until I can say I’m caught up.  With the exception of the 355 Project which is the bright spot in my day.  I need clown pants yarn!

Production Fridays Begin Again!

I am thrilled. Claire and I are starting so much earlier this year….She’s picking me up in a few minutes and then off to Dressew and back to her place for an action packed afternoon….Crafting with others excites me.

Will post any great finds (I’m thinking buttons) and the results of our first “work day”.  Cheers.
