Meanwhile….I am sitting here typing and nearly alone. It’s just me and the babe for the next couple of hours (bless that husband of mine for taking on the back to back dentist’s appointments of three little boys), which is as close as you get to alone in a family of 6. Sewing somehow seems the thing to do. I’ve been out of the habit and need to get to it again. For some reason the starting is always the hardest part for me. The question is, do I work on Halloween costumes, which can be worked on out in the open any old time OR do I start in on some of the winter holiday sewing that I have to do on the sly. Logic (and the calendar) would dictate the Halloween costumes. First things first, right? But logic very rarely wins out for me in these situations…as I observed last night, when I stayed up late to work on a sweater for a February birthday, despite the fact that I’ve yet to so much as cast on for the projects that need to be complete 9 days from now. Yes, knitting work is required. Again. I am indeed, undeniably ridiculous. It’s true.
And there is always the possibility that I may just scoop up this baby girl of mine and spend the rest of the day playing with her. Of course, if I do that, there will be no dinner for the tired grumpy people when they come home expecting their dinner. So maybe that’s not the best option. It sure *sounds* like the best option though.
Well, whatever it ends up being, I better go do something!
Hopefully I’ll be able to figure things out and there will be a picture post in just a bit. Until then I hope that you enjoy whatever it is that *you* happen to be doing!
I know what you mean about the sewing thing. I had a dress just waiting for a zipper to be put in, for six weeks. When I sat down to do it, it felt odd, like I needed to get in the groove somehow. I have been only knitting for the past few weeks so sewing seemed a bit akward. The zipper is in. Back to the knitting.
I love your posts about making things and I will never cease to be impressed with your creativity and drive when it comes to knitting and sewing. You always inspire me and give me such good ideas…now if only my sewing machine worked!
