What’s Going On

I have dishclothes with matchey matchey tribbles (for some). I have figured out the smaller skeins of Sugar and Cream (2.5 oz) have enough for a cloth and a trib. The larger ‘super saver’ skeins have enough for 2 cloths, but no tribs. But they still need sewing up...

Alpaca fleece update. Done spinning! Done Plying! I have ‘wanna be’ yarn. Four and half more skeins, for a total of 10 and half. Yardage: approx.(still uncalculated) (and not all left as I have already knitted 2 pr of socks.) All that remains is the twist to be set. Not yet finished...

I have a quilt for Granbebe Girl Two waiting patiently for my fleece to be finished. (I am coming, Quilty Two….soon, I promise!) Upon Dearest Sister’s visit (This weekend! Sister is coming this weekend!!!!) there will be cutting on Quilt Three. Agh. Further and further behind she falls…

I have made graduation cards, a wedding card, birthday cards, and two ‘thinking of you card’ in the past couple of weeks. Checked out the price of cards lately? Ka-ching! More money for fiber. Which is good, because I zoned on the need for Mother’s Day cards…

A quick trip to one lys which is having their semi-annual sale this (birthday) weekend provided some sock yarn, and the Estes Park Wool Market is coming up in June. I know, I know…blah blah blah…goals, knitting/spinning up stash....

The yard in shape, finally, little by little after dragging home from work. Still transitioning, I guess. Progress has been made there, and I am ready for some sitting, visiting and sipping of cool drinks while Dearest Sister is here.

Anyway, now the yard clean up is complete, and lookin’ good. Tomatoes are planted!

Pots are planted!

Other than the yard, I have a whole lotta’ of’near dones’, and that is trying for me. I like accomplishment! I like seeing something for my time! I am trying to be patient and cut myself some slack as I ease into this new place, new job, new routine, but ya know…the older I get, the longer it takes.

Seriously! Then, Bam! Eldest Daughter shows up! What a great surprise, and what schedule breaker…she may have to help me vacuum…

We are having everyone over for dinner tonight...

This is my happy month and it’s going before my very eyes, too swiftly for me to enjoy nary a moment, hardly at all. Woe is me.

So the long and short of it…the unread posts in my Reader pile up, and my own posts are fewer and further between. One might hope there would be more substance in the latter instance. One would be warned to not hold one’s breath.

Have I covered all the bases…unfinished goals, progress on the yard, smooth sailing at work, and a raggedy edged transition…and upcoming excitement with Dearest Sister’s visit.

PS I was reminded by Grandbebe Girl’s people at Mother’s Day breakfast, that Dearest Sister is traveling with Galaxie Guy. I am looking forward to seeing him, too. And they are not coming to just visit me. They are visiting Wonderful Guy, as well.

PPS Yeah right.
