Chaos Part II

It's the final Friday before the big feed next week and I am frantically, franctically trying to tie up loose ends before wrapping myself in family, food, and yarn (not necessarily in that order)

It's like I'm waiting for the gunshot that signals 'GO!'

A gunshot would definitely get me going.

I'm taking all of next week off and I can't wait. I realized a couple days ago that the taking care of me part has fallen to the bottom of the turnip basket, underneath work, husband, dogs, dogs, dogs, dogs...

I need some time to rejuvenate and refocus on me.

I've put on about 10 pounds
I'm breaking out in weird spots on my face.
You could store potatoes in the bags under my eyes.

I need my mama :)

I always love making proclimations of getting healthy right before a day that's dedicated to feasting.
I think it makes all the delicious dishes taste even more delicious.

Turkey is turkey.
I love the side dishes and if you follow me on Pinterest you know what I'm going for this Thanksgiving...

Brussell Sprouts.

All the glorious ways of making them from breakfast to dinner to side salads and brussell sprout chips.

I finished new project using the Psychobarbie yarn... I'm teasing you with two photos now but will post more about it later once I've washed it and loosened it up to slouch a bit more...


I'll say this,

I love this yarn color.

Happy Weekend!! I'll check in next week!!

I love the color! and the pattern. Good Job. Yes, you need to take care of you first sometimes. It is easy to not do that. When I worked I took off the day before Turkey day and the day after. The group I worked with worked on that Fri. Sat. and Sun. that week. I would get everybody primed and assigned and be gone, and still get a phone call or two. But oh the gloriousness of having the time. But the whole week would be a luxury. My daughter a school teacher gets the whole week and she loves every minute of it. So enjoy and do something for yourself.

Knitter Down...I Repeat, We Have a Knitter Down...

It's probably not that dramatic, well maybe it is, who can say for sure....but I can say this, right now from my elbow to my wrist is some gnarly pain that was flared last night after knitting 6 rows of the Shawl...SIX ROWS and then WHAMMO! so much pain. This isn't the first day I've had this, I've actually been ignoring for a few days ...okay, I've been ignoring it for a couple weeks but this is the worst it's been...So, I've made inquiries as to which doctor to see and am waiting to hear back to make an appointment...while I wait ice packs, and copious amounts of pain meds (don't worry by copius I really mean, recommended daily dose) are being taken with the shedding of a few tears while I fondle my knitting... stay tuned...this can't possibly last forever xoxoxo c. p.s. Fati...don't worry I have a plan if this whole wrist issues blows out of control...

Oh Balls!

I'm halfway thru the second to last short row repeat... Just in time to get used to trailing three balls around with me and my Color Affection. Needless to say I'm pretty excited to be finished with this and wear it! Happy Sunday!

Life in the Time of Covid

I have officially been working from home. Staying home.  Self-Isolating.  Safe Distancing.  For three four months.  My last day at my office was March 12.  If I look back and track how this transition has gone it's roller coaster.  But if you really want an accurate accounting of how my time has been spent These pictures sum it all up Thank you Anna Hrochavec for your amazing inspiring patterns Happy End of June. May the odds be ever in our favor for July. Naked Gnome, Tiny Island, Unicorn tiny cat octopus. one of my favorites fried eggs. Seriously how can you not be in love with these guys Ragnar by special request of my husband who is watching Vikings Tiny Parrot.
