ahh....the beginning of september....
s is for self portrait....
I gave boo the camera for the day and she photographed her world....I am making a flickr alblum of all the pictures....they are a hoot....
I especially love this one.....
hopefully a month full of blogging here and a bunch of S is for Septembers.....
progress....progress....
tonight I -
hemmed 3 pairs of school pants for boo
repaired two aprons
wrapped a present
made some soup
finished the laundry
and cut out a skirt to sew....
things I didn't do-
have the large hives on my hands magically disappear by putting some miracle ointment on them....(they really sting now)....
take a bath.....boo is in the tub now....
take pictures of my aprons....on my to do list for september, though...
and the list continues on...but atleast I did cross some things off...
look!
look!
construction on the sheep shed has begun!
It has been a week or two of ups and downs....employees leaving...new ones hired.....busy...busy...crazy.....soon the summer will be over....
knitting...um...got a row on a shawl that I am working on done....no spinning or dying for ever....ugh....
oh...and did I mention I got poison ivy and now my hands are feaking out from a degergent sensitivity (atleast this time I recognize it and the hospital won't be freaking saying it could be sheep anthrax like the last time)....stress related???nah....ya think so??????
we watched a video of our sheepies....I tried to stop it and save pictures but it would not allow me too.....(or I do not have the ability to figure out the technology to do it)....
but they are beautiful....I am getting excited! Housing for them starts this month.....and boo wanted the black girlie (I am quite fond of her myself).....
a wee project....okay...so I knit it instead of crochet.....
all in all I am happy with it but it gets the juices flowing....I want to knit and felt different little gnome houses....
I also am getting my stash out and lining up combinations to knit some hats for fall and for wee relatives....
hopefully in august I will get a moment or two to be more productive..
I also placed the stores Rowan, Gedifra, and Regia sock yarn orders for fall....I actually showed some restraint.....I am trying to figure out which direction to take this all in so in 3 years when my store space is built I have a clear idea of what I want.....(unfortunately, I want it all)....
Ugh...miss princess is hiding...
she has been a sick kitty lately who has lost weight.....yet, she is acting pretty normal. Her white blood cell count is up and we are trying antibiotics hoping she is just fighting an infection....cross your fingers....in a week we will know if she is progressing.
yep, it has been a week of ups and downs....some great packages arrived.....SP10...miss A......
and downs...princess being sick...not enough sleep....
and emotional nervousness ....Miss boo is having her first sleep over at Summer camp tonight....I miss her terribly...I am hoping it is as a fantastic experience as I had at summer camp as a child...tomorrow we will know the answer....
and on to the craziness of a summer weekend at the store....I long for fall and time for knitting, dyeing, spinning, and sewing....
