Oh yes I did!

I had to go back the Knittingsmith (by the way all links work now. I shouldn't try to blog with a screaming infant in my arms!) The store is still closing this weekend. Hmm, I wonder what happens to the unsold inventory? Here's what I got.

Got the books on the previous trip.




I've been working on small projects just to have some sense of accomplishment... I made 2 of these mice out of odd balls of Berrocco suede yarn.


I've almost completed a sweater for ms. Diva. I used Manos del Uruguay cotton that I had lying around for 4 yrs!


THAT'S IT!!! After many false starts, I have to concede defeat! I will not frustrate myself with attempt another sock until I can get myself into a class. Peruse the fruit of my labor.
what's up with the heel???
probably can't see the owl.

I kept knitting even though it didn't look right, hoping it would work out. Grrr, I wanted to snap those needles and throw the whole mess in the trash!

CASUALTIES OF WAR KIDS


ME: who broke the nose off of my head?
T1 & T2: I dunno, Mom. Maybe you forgot you broke it.

Why didn't I think of that myself, I grumble as I put it on the shelf in my closet.


ME: what happened to my puzzle? Why are the pieces missing (see bottom left corner)?

T1 & T2 ignored me and continued playing with their cars because I couldn't possibly be talking to them. I sigh and put away my poster size puzzle that took a month to complete and seconds to ruin.

ME: Why is this melted silly putty all in the back seat? I can't even get it out.

T1: Mom, the car just got too hot by the sun. When it gets cold again, you'll be able to get it out.

Apparently I hadn't been schooled in the matters of simple science. I sigh, this time adding the skunk eye.

I guess these are the days my mother couldn't wait for.

BABY TALK: ms. diva has started cooing and making motions to talk! Last week she started smiling. You go, girl!
