Update...no pics camera's hiding again.

I really need to do something about that camera, it likes to play hide and seek. I wish I could blame the kitties, but they don't like to play with the camera. It's just me throwing putting the camera down somewhere and not remembering where I last saw it. Did I mention, I'm not very organized.

DH finally put my niddy noddy together this weekend, and even stained it a nice natural color for me. This is good because I filled my first spool yesterday, and I'm dying to take it off the spool. So I have a date with the spool of spun yarn and the niddy noddy when I get home from work today :). If I can find the camera, hopefully with a memory stick in it, so I don't have to hunt that down too, I'll have pics of my first real hand spun yarn :).

For some reason Saturday, I felt the need to crochet, and not just anything, it was lace I was craving to do. So I hunted down my tiniest crochet needles, not an easy feat, they were hiding in the back of the bottom of a drawer that no one ever uses in my house. Searched high and low for crochet thread, found that in the bottom of a box in the back corner of a closet (it's been a while since I've wanted to find that) and started hooking away at of all things a doily. I'd love to say it's half done, 18 rows out of 32 done, but it's more like 1/3 if that, since the darned rows keep getting longer, every time I finish one. I don't even know what I'm going to do with a doily, all my ideas are going on where.
end table - don't have any
  • End table - we don't have any
  • Coffee table - see end table
  • Dining room table - we have one, but it's under a mountain of stuff, including yarn, fabric and 1 of my 2 sewing machines.
  • Night stand - I'd have to find that under the hill of stuff on there

I can just see myself walking around my house for hours once this doily is done trying to figure out where to put it. Maybe I'll just find someone who wants to adopt my doily.

Oh, I did felt yet another bag, still didn't turn out big enough to be a tote, back to the drawing board, this time, I'll throw more yarn at it and less hot water. This last one hung to the grown from my shoulder before I felted it. Yet another reason I need to find my camera.

OTN

  • I'm still working on the surprise present, at the rate I'm going it will be done on time *knock on wood*
  • Dad's shirt is not getting anywhere quickly, I think I may be time to take some drastic action and actually work only on it (nononono, I really didn't say that).
  • Tank top from the spring issue of IK.
  • Felted case for my Denise needle set
  • A wrap around shrug from Wrap Style, it's green in the book and called Green something, I can't remember the something, but it uses the honeycomb stitch and I'm doing it in lavender.

Pictures, pictures, we want pictures... when you find that camera, put a leash on it, and teach it to heel! Oh yeah... I forgot... we have cats, don't we? Cats don't do heel!
