Just stuff....

Haven't posted for two weeks..have not been able to crochet until just a few days ago. My arm/elbow is feeling much better since I've been resting it. I started working on what I call "sink mats" I have a bathroom sink with a small vanity area and I can't stand it when it gets water laying around from wet hands, etc. It's gotten worse since I started Flying with FlyLady.net So I was putting a washcloth folded in half longways and setting the soap dispenser, etc. on it. Duh, I can use cotton thread and make something prettier than a wash cloth, so I did. Used the varigated yarn from Peaches and Cream and make a few 5" x 9" and a couple smaller ones. Anyway, I've been doing a little and the ole arm isn't hurting too bad, so I hope to be able to finish the poncho I started for Jess and my wimple.

I took that Nerd quiz I saw on Compulsive Hooker's blog. I'm not a complete nerd, but I'm not hip either. I knew that, my DD tells me I'm not hip all the time. In fact she tells me I'm "really old" Huh, she'll get here one day.




I really need to put some pictures on this thing, but I'm not so good with all the fancy, schmancy stuff like Kari and some others are. I've got to figure out how to do that stuff. I'm just lucky I can get the blog to show up.

Well, it's getting past my bedtime...so I guess I'll shut up and go to bed.

"It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood"

I really did enjoy Mr. Rogers. Oh well.

It's gorgeous out today. Sunshiny and bright blue skies.

My computer has been acting stupid lately and I've had no patience to deal with it so I haven't blogged for a couple of weeks (I don't always have time at work like I'm doing now). Coupled with the fact that my arm is killing me I have not done any crocheting for two weeks until last night and then I only whipped out a lip balm tote for DD. I have been giving my elbow a rest and it appears that along with the fact that I re-arranged my desk at work and home so that my right arm is laying on the desktop, my elbow is feeling much better, tho not completely pain free.

I have so many projects in the works that I'm starting to feel frustrated. I don't know what's more frustrating the computer issues or not being able to crochet. I have been getting more chores done though and my husband hasn't complained about me sitting "playing with my yarn all night" - he's only joking of course, but I know it irrates him.

My IT person here at work told me another thing that I could do to see if the computer starts acting proper - so maybe tonight I can check it out and blog some more.

Last week my DD, sister and I went shopping and I got some of that crazy yarn you make socks out of that turns into a pattern or whatever. Well, I'm not a sock person, too complicated, but I think I'll try a skinny scarf or something for DD. I also bought more of Sugar & Cream cotton yarn for dishcloths, etc. I love that stuff - it's so durable. I make a lot of the lip balm totes out of it, doesn't get fuzzy or anything.

Gotta get back to work before the boss lady gets made to me.....later
