egads!
I’ve been sucked off the face of teh interwebs again.
It happens.
I’ve been bogged down with my list of things to do, just when I think I’m getting a grip on things… Some new and exciting things come into my realm. It forces me to juggle even faster.. The only danger with that, is the prospect of dropped balls increases.
Being the highly uncoordinated person I am, dropping balls is second nature. Organizational skilz would help.
This is what I’m up against: myself.
these are my notes.
This my friends, is a sad state of affairs.
Chicken scratch on construction paper.
Yup. It pretty much sums up the happenings around here.
I’m not moving forward until i get that little pile of papers written in such a manner that another human can read them. The fact that *I* am unable to decipher them, doesn’t help matters.

Moms has been here all week. And no matter how much a person is family; having people ‘visit’ throws me off my game.
I feel as if I should be entertaining, or at least engaging; instead of doing my work.
I have a bunch of sock yarn that I should be dyeing, at this very moment. But Bell’s open house is tonight, and going in with dyed hands would just make me feel, well, self conscious. (And, I don’t need any help in that department)
Chaos is really starting to erupt here.
But, I wanted to quickly mention the new (ok! not so new now) issue of knitty & knittyspin. The whole (4th BIRTHDAY) issue is busting at the seams with goodness. I feel like a doofus for not mentioning it earlier. (Plus, there is an article in knittyspin that I did with Amy Boogie.) Check it out; feedback is welcome (there is a link over on my sidebar as well).

Speaking of Amy Boogie; go over and wish her a ‘happy birthin day!’ The youngest Boogie Babe is one years old!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU BOTH! We love you!
♥
I was JUST thinking about you and dropped by.

I’ve been sporting some lovely dyed hands lately. Bleach removes the colors fast, but I have some rash from a new latex allergy (hence the newly dyed hands) and bleach is owie on them. The moms have been very cool around me, the kids look at me like I’m an alien though. haha.
Thank you for all the birthin’ happies. We love you all tons and tons too. xoxox

That was a great article. I’ve got piles of roving to be dyed, just never got around to it. Thanks for the tip about agitating with the synthropol.

I’ve been meaning to say something about the Knittyspin article. It is a great idea and very well done. I love that you started with the dyeing so it shows dyeing style differences AND spinning style differences. Good work!

That’s a cool article. I love how everyone brings their own brain to their work. Or something like that.
The not being able to read your writing thing reminds me of something that happened when I was a kid. My mom copied down a fudge recipe from a cousin, only later when she went to make fudge from the recipe she couldn’t read her writing. She thought she could — she read “butter” as “water.” The fudge didn’t really turn out right. We used it as ice cream topping though. It worked for that.
