Oh Friday...

All week I have been dealing with what appears to be the laziest cold ever. One day I have a sore throat, another day its a dry cough, yesterday evening it was a little stuffy in my sinuses, this morning, well we've kissed my voice goodbye.

I'm used to more of a cold that body slams me with everything at once and takes me down for a day then I'm on the mend the following days.

With all these changing symptoms day to day I'm like a squirrel at a rave trying to figure out which medicine to take for which ailment.

So far it's tylenol for pain, delsym for the cough days, and chewing gum for sore throats. Honestly you know I'm in bad shape if you see me pop a halls cough drop I hate them, I hate everything about them ever since I bought a variety that numbs your throat as you suck on them, I was drooling all over the place, my whole mouth was numb. Peppermint chewing gum is my throat soother and if I'm a bit nauseous the peppermint helps with that as well... just keep my supply well stacked. Before bed it's sliced ginger steeped in hot water and my bucky wrapped microwaved for 8 minutes and doused with eucalyptus oil and lavender laying on my chest. Then airborne all day every day at work.

Needless to say, I haven't knit a stitch all week. I get home, I eat my spicy ramen, and crawl into bed.

Next week we will have a little more structure on the blog as I get back into the swing of it...

I'm not going to lay it out yet but we'll see how it goes week to week. I have a planner and a calendar to use... Friday will be reserved for photos. Hopefully my favorites of the week.

Seeing how I have been a slow train on flu virus express I haven't taken any photos this week so I'll give you this, a picture of me and Mr. Brown last summer. I miss him every day and this picture makes me happy when I see it on my phone.


I'm off to Florida next week for a quick visit with mom to celebrate her birthday! I'm looking forward to soaking up some sun and mom time for a few days.

Have a good weekend

The 'To-Do' list...

and by 'to-do' list I mean 'to-knit' list. I'm really really trying to get on track with this list and stay deeply focused. It has helped that I have successfully removed all yarn from the living room and into Mr. Brown's Yarn shop on the second floor. Except for the fact that I went in there the other day with a shopping bag and loaded up. Currently in the sidelines to be finished 1. Ledge Trail Vest 2. Twiggy for me 3. 70 Yard Mitt for my other hand Finished those bad boys last night! this is what happens when you use the 10s burst hands free option on your iphone and you're holding said phone with your chinny chin chin. On the List: 1. Twiggy for a Christmas gift 2. Iris the Gourmet Monster but since it's for a boy I'm calling it Orvil. 3. Great White Shart Shark 4. Bosco - for me 5. Stillhouse Vest - for me 6. Woodsy - for me 7. Three Seahawk themed hats as gifts. 8. Gifts for friends... and on and on and on If you...

SSYC... My First Official Yarn Crawl...

It's true... I've never actually participated in a yarn crawl or LYS tour. When I worked at So Much Yarn I had the pleasure of working the weekend of the LYS Tour but I've never done it. Well, the SSYC, South Sound Yarn Crawl covers 9 shops that aren't included for whatever reason in the Seattle LYS Tour that covers around 25 shops in the area. Maybe they're too far off the beaten path. It's not because they aren't in Seattle because there are shops way way way out of town that are included in the Seattle LYS tour. Whatever the reason, it's not important. What is important is that Mary and I both took Friday off and hit the road. I caught the 7:15 Ferry to Kingston, Arrived at Mary's about 8:00. Mary and I have the same china. Mine came from my Grandmother, her's came from her mom. Tried making friends with her fluffy dog Mae. Someday she'll come to love me, for now I'll respect her tenative personality and love her fro...

I knit this sweater for Bump and had the buttons custom madefor it by Buttons by Robin, a wonderful shop on Etsy... She used a photo of Rupert that I emailed her...Rupert is their (Bump, C & M's) family dog... I couldn't post a photo until they had received the sweater which arrived on their doorstep last night... Oh how I wish I could have been there when they got it! It turned out amazing! Pattern: Baby Sophisticate Yarn: Big tweedy Cashmere (lucky boy) Please check out Robin's shop on Etsy I know you'll find buttons you love and she does amazing work!
