Last train to Clarksville...
Today is Brian's last 'day off' of his mini vacation..we're mostly watching football, doing house chores (grocery shopping, anyone?) and I'm working on my new felted tote...its growing exponentially...I see why people knit with wool during the winter months - it really does keep your lap warm while you knit...I've finally finished the base of the tote and am now getting to the more interesting striped portion...which means lots of changing colors, but its more fun and seems to go more quickly when you only do 2 rows of a color instead of 45...Technically, I've already knitted enough to meet the measurement requirement of the pattern (23 1/2"), but that wouldn't give me NEARLY enough tote to tote around...so I'm going bonkers and making this thing plenty big enough...I mean, the bigger the tote, the more stuff you can haul in it, am I right?
Bendy beads seem pretty popular, so I do believe when I go back to work tomorrow I shall be making bendy beads...and I'll post the beads I have on hand...its supposed to rain tomorrow, so I'll do my best to find a dry spot to shoot...speaking of shooting, we spotted some new friends in our 'garden' and I've shot some pics to share...I'll post them tomorrow...we are excited to see them...
I've been having a GREAT time with my new phone, taking pics with it is super easy and mailing them to my various email addresses is quick and painless...I've ordered a BlueTooth headset to wear when I'm driving because I cannot drive a stick and talk on the phone at the same time...and a car charger because I like to keep it plugged in when on the road...and for fun - a 1gb memory card to store a few tunes on...I have no Ipod, I'm not COOL enough for that, so my groovy phone will have to be my pseudo-entertainment center...and for now, its doing a great job...!
