Books.

I love books.  I love the way they look, the way they smell… I’m a little strange.  I also love office supplies.  It’s a thing from when I was a little girl I think and my father used to take us to this office supply place that looked like it had shelves that could reach the sky.  When you’re 6, 10-foot shelves are gigantic.

So, this would explain why I lovegoing to the library.  I can walk out with as many books as I want and I know I won’t go home, look at my bank balance and feel guilty.  (And, it smells good in there.) I buy books too – the ones I really love.  I’ve also started getting books on CD.  I live a little ways out of town so, it passes the time.  I’ve read/listened to some really good ones like Life of Pi, some of the Harry Potter books, My Sister’s Keeper, Just Breathe, The Broker, The Kite Runner, A Thousand Splendid Suns,  The Sunflower, and a lot more that I can’t remember off the top of my head.  These were all really really good.

I dyed my hair really dark brown.  I love, love, love it.  I don’t have a picture to post though.

I made another pair of Bella’s Mitten’s for my sister’s friend Edyth.  I don’t know if she has them yet but, I’m finished with mittens for now.  My hairdresser ordered a pair so, I’m not totally finished.  Plus, I have to make a pair for ME right? 

My Korella’s coming along nicely.  I’m hoping to have the front finished this week sometime so that I can get the back finished next week, knit the neck and sleeves and be done with it.  I want to start my February Lady something awful.  Then, I ordered yarn for another project.  Shhh. Don’t tell anyone – they’ll give me shit for buying more yarn when I have 6 big bins in my “yarn closet”.  (I just didn’t have enough for this project – plus it called for alpaca and I don’t have any.)

Check it out – this is my next-next project:  it’s called OLIVE.

Then I want to make this:  it’s called PUCKER (I think).

It’s going to be a busy summer. 

Best start getting ready for work now.  What a bummer.  I bet if I didn’t have to go to work today, I could finish Korella’s front.
