Fiber Fun


Fridays are usually relaxed here at the "School in the Park" (which is having class in the kitchen today because it's 38 degrees and snowing in Western NY). Anyway, to relax I decided to get out the fiber and do some needle felting (for an upcoming swap, and because, well, it's fun!). What you see here are various pieces in various stages. I'm waiting for a shipment from Black Sheep Designs before I can do the detailing on the red guy. Who knows what the other two will be...

FO!


After eight Monday afternoons knitting in the "Mom Room" while the kids take homeschool classes, I've finally finished my Trekking socks. Love 'em! Unfortunately, the colors aren't great here (available light just isn't happening today in western NY). Anyway, the vital stats: Trekking XXL color #181.

Riding the bus to beautiful


So I'm in the shower for my five minutes of peace (okay, ten) and I grab the new bottle of shampoo. I'm a reader -- need I say more? I'm shampooing my hair and reading the bottle. Use to be the bottles had simple messages; "shampoo, rinse, repeat." Well, Suave has decided that's not enough. Now we've got a pep talk on a bottle for all the moms out there enjoying their ten minutes of peace in the shower. So, if I use Suave I can be "riding the bus to beautiful." So here you have it; me riding the bus to beautiful. Ha! (And no, I'm not turning around... Suave didn't do a thing for the other side. ;-)

Wow -- we finally have DSL so hopefully I'll be posting a bit more often. :) Not much to say tonight -- it's 9:07 and Hubby should be on his way home with dinner... He better be here quick, I'm fading fast...
