Life’s too short for only one project!

That’s what I’ve decided.  I like my Korella just fine but, was absolutely dying to make Olive.

It’s been quite a week since my Memère died.  I honestly didn’t think it would affect me so much.  She was my last grandparent.  I feel her loss.

Wall all the stuff to do last week and working all weekend, I’m so tired I can hardly stand it.  I put on some tea, took some pictures, cleaned up a little, will write this post and then sit my arse down and watch a girl-y movie (Shopaholic).  I think I need to sleep for 36 years.  Maybe then, and only then, will I feel better.

I got to visit little Patrick on Friday.  Man, is that kid ever cute!  (Sorry about the phone pics… they don’t do him justice.)

I could eat him!!!!!!

The weather’s sort of been a little on the strange side too.  Last week, it was this:

It was quite beautiful to see.  I love the view here.  I love that this is what I’m looking at when I’m making my coffee in the morning.

It rained earlier and then the sun came out and looked like this:

The contrast between the grass and the sky is pretty neat I think. 

Bla, bla, bla… how boring ha?  Well, sorry…

I also took pictures of some dead flowers before I threw them out.

I used to take pictures all the time.  It was one of my favorite things to do.  Now, I take pictures of my knitting – which is fine but less creative.

This is what my Olive looks like so far:

Well, those are my colors anyway.  This yarn is like butter.  I didn’t want to get the Isager alpaca so I went on Knit Picks (’cause they were having a sale) and got this baby alpaca.  It’s lovely to work with and likely a fraction of the price.

I also have the new socks I’ve started.  They’re my Purse Project (hereafter referred to as my PP).

I finally started the sequel to Friday Night Knit Club.  Pretty good so far.  Don’t laugh… I carry a really big purse!

I’m tired and must knit now.
