🧶 Well, I’m not finishing this sweater.

Hello! How is it already Friday again!?! This week has been a whirlwind! My third kid graduated high school, my in-laws came to town to celebrate, and we went to a book signing that was a four-hour round trip in a day. It’s been wild! I did find a little time to work on the mesh sweater that is never going to be. I can’t express how terrible this yarn is to work with. If you have an idea for what I can make with splitty bamboo yarn, that won’t cause me to quit crafting altogether, please reply and save me!!!! I really want to make something to wear because it matches my hair so well. My mom let me take some beads home and I’ve been practicing making a knotted necklace with them. Bruno isn’t thrilled because his favorite spot is my lap. He doesn’t always blend well with learning a new skill. I’m curious what kind of lessons you’ve taken away from your crafting. When you reply with splitty bamboo ideas, throw some wisdom in there for me, too! I’ll talk to you next week! Thanks for being here!

Hello! How has your week been? My week has been... how should I say it... eventful. 😬 To start with, Bruno had a botfly under his skin! It was disgusting and so sad. And it took some time for the vet to figure out what it was, so lots of cone time. I don't know if you can tell from photos, but Bruno has the neck of a giraffe. We tried a cone that was tiny enough to fit around his neck and he could reach right around it. Then we tried combining a stuffed donut with the little cone. No luck....
Hey there! How are you!?! I’m feeling invigorated this week! I took last week off for a staycation. After a long, lazy summer, I had some housekeeping to do. Fall is my favorite season, and September through December are my busiest/funnest months of the year. I like to head into this time prepared, so I can really enjoy it. Chris and I spent the week cleaning, hanging art, setting up the bones of my art studio, and getting out Halloween decorations. And we topped it off with a concert! We saw...
Hello! Friday again! How was your week? I have one more ear to put on my Cat Hat! Wait ‘til you see what I did. 🫣 When I took it out to finally finish, there were 3 sizes of needles in the project bag. And I, of all people, didn’t have a project sheet in there with the details! But I did remember taking a picture to show you my progress previously. So I got out the picture and all the needles in my project bag, and compared them! It actually worked!!! So then I started picking up the stitches...
