Bought this huge amount of mill end fibers at Yarnivoire after my spinning class and this was my big practice project. I normally wouldn’t have chosen the colors but hey, it will be great with blue jeans. I fell in love with the pattern and it was so fun to just go “spin” some more yarn when needed

ok day today. Started off stressed but it settled down some with 1/2 xanax. I’ve eaten too much yogurt with granola today, sigh…why do I get on these kicks! I did manage to get the furniture etc back into the bedroom. Got the carpet cleaned yesterday and it looks so nice. I also went through my yarn stash and have 3 bags to give away. the living room is still a wreck…but am trying a bit at a time. Finished spinning and plied the flawful fibers roving that I got…it turned out pretty good! Wonder if its enough for something for Hadley? will have to check…
Knit a bit on my anniversary shawl out of alpaca…but not much…did more spinning today.
Exercise: 50 minutes of the 10 minute yoga tape…all 5
Eating: not so hot
Meditation: still need to do

Hiding in the computer room from the kids…oh to wake up with so much energy…they have two cousins over and they wake up so happy and ready to play and so loud … ugh… like I said…looking to hide and have my ipod plugged into my ears listening to Sheknits podcast. Cooked pancakes and turkey bacon for breakfast and ran! Hoping to knit and finish my handspun shawl…I really love using some of my first handspun yarn…it is lumpy bumpy but it looks soooo good in this shawl, I can not wait to block it!
Saw the American girl Kit Kittredge movie yesterday with the kids…GO see it while you can, it is awesome…loved it!
going to hang out on the net for a bit , knit and take the kids swimming…

Your dominant hue is blue, making you a good friend who people love and trust. You’re good in social situations and want to fit in. Just be careful not to compromise who you are to make them happy. Your saturation level is very low - you have better things to do than jump headfirst into every little project. You make sure your actions are going to really accomplish something before you start because you hate wasting energy making everyone else think you’re working. Your outlook on life is bright. You see good things in situations where others may not be able to, and it frustrates you to see them get down on everything. |
