Whew! I was worried that Eileen wouldn't get them or that she wouldn't like them. But she did and she did. Mom kept asking "What's not to like?" and Scott threatened to ask me to make some for his grandkids. lol
I guess they were ok after all!
YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
The Christmas stockings are finally finished. I trust no one would mind if I vow at this moment never to do these stockings again.
I finally finished the stockings. Last night I sewed one together. Tonight I'll sew the other and block both. Tomorrow I can send them through campus mail. If I'm very, very lucky they will arrive to Eileen on Wednesday.
If I'm not so lucky they will arrive on Monday. If I'm totally SOL they'll get lost in interoffice mail.
Yesterday I had to go to the dr. to see about my wrist (still to be decided and tests to be done). I get out and the car won't start. No click; no sound. The running lights and the inside lights come on. So does a "check engine" light. Very not good.
I call Geico and Geico calls Tennis Towing. The Tennis driver said he was pretty sure it was just the battery so he jumped it. The car started and then I had to go to Saturn. I now have a new battery and an appointment to have the on-board computer replaced plus inspection done on Black Friday.
This is so not what I wanted to do with $500.
A'ndrea and I have decided we are going to pull together to help each other - sometime. We both have stashes in desperate need of organization. She and I have decided to get together and help each other do just that. I want to put mine in the "stash" section of Ravelry as well as in a spread sheet so maybe - just maybe - I can figure out what I have and what projects are squirreled around.
I need to turn some WIPs and UFOs into FOs, dammit!
One stocking is finished except for the name and sewing it together. The other one has been started.
In the meantime I am reading. I guess I should not be taking the time to read instead of knit or warping but I've been waiting for "Remember Me?" to come out in paperback and it finally has. I'm not quite 1/2 way through but there's enough to keep me reading.
At the same time I also got "The Audacity of Hope." I'm reading that as well but I don't drop that in my purse and take it with me. It's more of a sit down and read chapters at a time. It's not like Kinsella's books where I can read a page or two and pick it up later.
I really liked "Undomestic Goddess." Even though the premise was a little out there - ok, a lot out there - it was a fun read. The first of the Shopaholics books was like that.
I need see if there are more by the woman who wrote "The Little Lady Agency." Those were a blast to read.
All I can say is thank goodness for the AAUW. Now when I'm finished with a book that isn't meant to be put in my library, I toss it in my trunk and stop at the drop-off on my way past.
