I’m avoiding… the monster truck. In a big way.
I don’t know why I can’t just love this project. There are no pictures because I have been very unmotivated to photograph it. 😛
I haven’t touched any knitting/crocheting for at least the last 3 days. It’s probably because I’m mentally punishing myself for not having been finished the truck for little Pat’s 4th birthday party on April 22nd. I worked so hard before that. When I realized there was no chance in hell I would have it done on time, I kinda stuffed it in a bag and only work on it sometimes. I better put some good vibes in that piece before I hand it over to its little recipient. I don’t want it to be cursed! Yikes!
I did, however, manage to spin some. 🙂 A few of us, including my mom, went to the OHS vendor event on Friday evening. Even though I didn’t need more fiber, I had to get these braids because they were so absolutely yummy. It’s always about the color for me when it comes to fiber. I fall in love with the colors. Most of the time, I have no idea (or care) what the fiber is – alpaca, merino, pollworth, BFL, etc… As long as it’s pretty. So, I spun one bobin (of three) of this beautiful aqua merino (I think) while I sat on my deck late Sunday afternoon. The sun was out, the breeze was warm and the bugs weren’t out yet. Hahaha. Steve and I sat, chatted, had some drinks and I spun… It was heaven!
Here are other thing I wanted to take pictures of over the weekend.
I love coffee (and taking pictures of it). I also love going out for breakfast. I got to do that twice this weekend. There’s something romantic about going out for breakfast isn’t there? I don’t know. Am I crazy? I can make bacon, eggs, pancakes, french toast and coffee at home. But, for some reason, it’s always a million times better when I get to go out to do it. I’m sure the company I keep has something to do with it. 😉
Yes, my tulips are dead. I still find them strangely attractive. The color is darker and the way the petals have fallen makes them look like orchids.
White daisies are still my favorite.
Remember that website/blog I posted a link for the other day? Well, THEY HAVE AN APP!!!! And it’s FREE.
I installed it on my iPhone, signed in, picked out the recipies I wanted for tonight and hit the “shopping list” icon and voila! a list of stuff I needed to pick up at the grocery store. This app is the coolest thing I’ve seen for a phone since I discovered Shazam!
Then it crossed each item off my shopping list as I hit the little checkmark. How awesome is that??!!!
So, tonight I’m cooking. Chicken, spinnach and a fruit gazpacho. It’s going to be goooooood!
Tomorrow, I’m going to try to get some yard work done. The mower’s fixed as of yesterday. My mom’s going to come help me sort out my giant flower bed – not because I can’t do it alone but because I lack motivation. If I had the money, I would just build a garage over that flower bed so I wouldn’t have to weed it!
Then maybe we’ll hit the range for a little practice. If I’m going to compete at all this summer, I need to put some holes in some paper.
Have an awesome week everyone!
