I've been looking forward to it being Saturday all week. Sadly for Mr W, I have a bunch of me-things to do and I'll need to haul him with me. I'm sure I can buy him off with a Bionicle (it's usually well worth the price of the bribe) but we'll see. Here's what I gots going on:
1. Fall Leaf Cleanup. Important, but I'm still in denial. We'll see if that happens.
2. Yarn Store. Need some needles to do some xmas gifts.
3. Goodwill. I'm looking to explore turning old sweaters into bags. See #5.
4. Christmas Swap. I need to get the yarn, needles, etc. to send off to Norway for my Christmas Swap. I've decided on everything but what story I want to send. Need to do that.
5. Projects. I have an old garage sale sweater that I'm going to felt and turn into a purse/bag. I saw the idea somewhere, and it looks pretty simple. I found a bunch of wool fabric in my basement (when I thought I might want to try rug braiding but it was too expensive) that I can use for a lining, so I'm hoping it will turn out fab. Also several gift projects to work on....
6. Sell the Thomas the Tank Engine stuff. I finally put an ad on Craig's List for the stuff, and it's been hauled up from the basement. Hopefully a couple of people will swing by today and take some of it off my hands. When I think about how much $ was spent on that stuff vs. how much it will reasonably sell for, tears well up in my eyes...
That's it. Life is good: the furnace works, my kid is healthy, my sweetie thinks I'm swell, and I still have a job.
Hi Linda! thanks for that wonderful post of all your knitted accomplishments! I really loved the pattern (and color) of the yellow-green socks you knitted!
ReplyDeleteHi Ida,
ReplyDeleteI feel sort of silly; I just read that the swap is set up so the person we give to is not the person we get something from. Oops! My package for you goes in the mail tomorrow!!
