summertime, done come and gone, my oh my.
I didn’t get a chance to post on Wednesday, but, if I had been able to, my WTF Wednesday would have been all about the Mr. Clean Magic eraser. I’m not sure why they work, and I’m not too sure I want to know. There can’t bee Good Things in them. (surely not my usual brand cleaning solution~ vinegar and baking soda.) But I needed to pull out the heavy ammo against the dirt and grime that lives in my house. Now, maybe you are asking why on earth would I do such a thing and upset the natural balance of life here? Well, as with most of everything in my life, it was for the kids. Bell’s new pre-skool teacher was coming for a “home visit” on Thursday. (That went well, thankfully. The kids weren’t too crazy, and Bell’s got to meet her new teacher.) So, the house is now was cleaner than when we moved in. To not upset the laws that govern this house; it is back to trashed chaos.
I’ve been super occupied with preparing for September… and Poof, here it is!
I really love fall, and the cozy feeling it brings, I can start thinking more about knitting and cozy sweaters & fireside socks.
September means both the kids birthdays, and this year skool!
Izabella, in preparation for starting skool, decided to take a pair of scissors to her hair. good times.
September also means VTSW. They changed the dates this year, to the second weekend in Sept. (9 & 10). Hopefully, I’ll be going both days this year. Who else is making the trek up?
Summer came and went so quickly.
It zoomed by at lightening speed.
All of a sudden, it is time for my Bitchin Mittens to be done.
I have yet to start them. I blame too many ideas and not enough hands. I’m a great procrastinator. If there was an award for that, I’d win!
This is the yarn i plan to use for them
I just might finish them on time if I cast on Right Now!
Today also is Fiber Friday!
I haven’t been able to be participating as much as I would like to. (Mostly due to the fact that I’m perpetually thinking it is Tuesday.)
The topic was Inner-Space
echo
6+ oz
142 yards
bulky thick and thin.
~Because sometimes, at the end of the day, all that is left is an echo
… don’t think that one needs any further explanation. But it is summing up how I’m feeling about Stuff and Things, as of late.

Hee - glad I’m not the only one who is simultaneously in awe of and afraid of the Magic Eraser. It is a mysterious device indeed.

Formaldehyde. That’s what’s in the Magic Eraser. Try Colgate toothpaste instead. Love the Echo.

I’m on love with that Mr. Clean, too. I used his stuff to clean the refrigerator and some grimy mechanical stuff today.
And fall? Yeah. I plan on digging out the flannel shirts this weekend. It’s about time summer was over already.
Beautiful spinning!

We bow to the Magic Eraser here, too. I’m thinking it’s got some TSP in there. Terrible stuff, yet so effective!
See you at VTS & W.

No NO NO! That yellow must come to me! It makes me think of pink grapefruits.
Mr. Clean Magic Erasers never work for me. I end up with smeared stuff on my walls. I wonder if I’m doing something wrong?

PuppyMomma is a mindreader–the yellow IS grapefruit, yellow and ruby red (read pink).
And the echo is as lovely as it can be. Wow.

I know what you mean about the house returning to chaos…I always clean for days before company arrives. My house looks great, then after they leave it’s back to the same messy, comfortable chaos that we live in every day. Love the Echo by the way!
