Absolutely nothing much to note. Really so few things of interest are going on these days it would just bore you to read about it.
We had an unbelievable storm during Tuesday’s stitch n bitch. Driving back up Greigos from Rio Grande Blvd the street was so flooded we weren’t sure the car was going to make it at some points. Good thing we have a tall baby suv type car. Later we saw there were watermarks up to the bottoms of the doors though. Skeery.
I went to get my glasses fixed at the optomotrist who reminded me that I haven’t been there since March 2004 so it’s time to get my eyeballs checked again. And we’re almost finished paying off the criminal dentist.
In knitting I’m about to finish the sixth scarf for the Think Pink charity. They’re all fuzzy and acrylic because I’d used up my wool pink yarn for the warming grace squares. I think that’s all I’m going to do. I’m impatient to start new socks.
For lack of anything else to write about I’m going to make up some lists.
How I feel right now:
lazy
tired
sleepy
ambitious
nauseated
hungry
hopeful

The Skeleton Key
Books I’ve read the last few weeks:

Things I’m going to go do when I finish this post:
eat
watch something on the Tivo
take my medicine
sleep (wish me luck)
Cody may or may not get one or more of the following things for my birthday on Sunday:
Needles
The new KnitPicks needle sets with all the additional options looks good. They’re backordered for a few weeks though.
I’ve been lusting after these handmade wooden needles for months. Aren’t they pretty?
Or maybe a set of needles with lights inside?
If these stretchy circular needles came in sizes other than 2 I’d want them too.
Bags
I’ve been eyeing this lemonade bag at Discount Yarn Sale for about a year.
But I love the new designs on the Lexie Barnes bowler bags
Or maybe I should get a Jordana Paige bag, like this cute black and pink tweed
I like this imitation Jordana bag too.
Although I’d be really happy with a cute matching set of an Acadia Backpack or Empire bag in black sushi material with a matching Denise needle set cover from Boogie!
Or maybe this cute sushi purse?
The Usual Etsy Suspects
The Morrigan Necklace
Assorted cute handmade hedgehog stuff
Fibery goodness
Maybe something from my favorite handspun fiber shops?
Hello
Material
Luxe


I’ve been MISSING you! I woke up this morning thinking “Noelle’s b’day must be soon” and so it is! So can you e-mail a friend your addy??
I started my first “Think Pink” scarf yesterday in Louisa Harding yarn…so soft.
Hey, it’s my birthday on Saturday! We’re the same sign! I just watched Skeleton Key too and thought it was really dumb. Although I have to admit I didn’t expect the ending.
I bought the light up needles. They are pretty cool. They look like lightsabers. However, they are plastic and stick like plastic needles, so I’m not crazy about them. I also bought the size 6 and one of them broke. However, the company was super nice about replacing them with a larger size for me.
Hey, I’m going to watch “Stage Beauty” tonight! My sister gave it to me in May and I totally forgot about it… because I haven’t unpacked from my trip yet. Yeah, my trip in May.
Virtual retail therapy I love it. Thanks for sharing…Have a great birthday on Saturday!
