43T

My entries at 43things aren't showing up here for some reason. Perhaps it's the way the new site is? Does anyone have an idea how I can fix that?

Long time!

I'm going to have to try to do my posting better here (and at my livejournal). I've been busy at 43things and I'm generally pretty good about posting there every day.

The season is upon us and it's been crazy busy at work these days. I get more hours that way! But it's nice when I get a day off where I don't have to do anything. (That probably won't happen till next year again!)

I don't remember which day

But one of the things I meant to add is that my little rose bush, the minature one I have in my craft/sewing room, which is supposed to be a white rose bush, has a yellow one opening up! It’s so odd! All the others have been white and this one is definitely yellow.

Weirdness but it’s so great!

Pretty pattern

I found the free pattern at elann.com and joined a kal for making this at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/AranWeightVictorianLaceShawlKAL/?yguid=958484 which also has a picture of the shawl.

And! I found some yummy colored yarn to make it in. http://www.herrschners.com/products/sku-711008id-3588tab-.html It’s the one on the top of the page, although I ordered it through Joann’s since it was cheaper there.

Friday

1. Finalizing plans for our knitting circle at work! We got permission to meet at the store on the first and third saturdays an hour before the store opens. So far it’s definitely Debra, Dylan and myself, but we’ve got interest from Heidi, Tiffany, Jennifer, and quite possibly Tonya, too. Tonya is the store manager as of the first of the month. I’m so excited! We’re going to do t-shirts and have them say Chicks with Sticks. Dylan is an art major and she’s going to design them.

2. The new Vogue Knitting. There’s a CUTE purple dress/jumper in there I just HAVE to make.

3. Battlestar Galactica. It’s back!

Awesome lady!

You give so much of yourself to us and make us all feel good about ourselves. You have encouraging words and wise advice, happy feelings and comforting touches. I hope your day is at least half as great as you make the rest of us feel.

Wednesday

1. The Lost recap. I saved it on the tivo for Harlan, just in case he decides he wants to watch the new season along with me. Next week! It’s coming!

2. Having two months worth of selections chosen at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fantasyfavorites and both titles I have on my tbr!

3. Knowing my Virtual Villagers are still alive. I don’t check on them too often, and once they scared me by being down to something like 30 in population, but they’re back up there now. Whew! (for those who don’t know, this is a game I’ve been playing for ages)
