the knitted goddess is coming along nicely. her body is done and her arms are started. I am a little worried about the embellishments aspect as that’s not so much my thing.
my mom came over yesterday and helped us with Grae’s new sewing machine! it was kind of fun to sew a little. I made a tiny sachet of lavender to fit inside the goddess and we bought her a simple apron pattern made of “fat quarters.” a whole new language to learn. I’m hoping to get some use out of the machine too.
it’s been a nice relaxing long weekend so far.

I’ve been so busy this week! It’s crazy. I started two projects this week, well, started one and picked up an ancient WIP – 1) 2nd red scarf and 2) the purple off-to-class….sweater. Very exciting.
I signed up to do the Goddess doll swap and that has to be done this weekend!

I gave up on the crochet for now as the poor cotton yarn wasn’t going to be able to handle another frogging. So….I looked around and found the cutest pattern:
I did have to crochet around the neckline, so I did get a little practice in!

I’ve been pretty busy this year, but can’t say I’ve done anything special. I did finish a dishcloth and I have been teaching myself crochet.
The crochet is coming along s l o w l y.
I did finish one of Mr. Foster’s bathrobe sleeves. Totally screwed it up, but I’m going to have to ignore that and move on. I hope to have the robe done this weekend.
Other plans: Finish reading My Horizontal Life: A Collection of One-Night Stands
and The Unforgiving Minute: A Soldier’s Education
.
I’ve started both books. My Horizontal Life is not the kind of thing I would normally read. It really is Chelsea’s recount of one night stands and sexcapades. At least it’s funny. The Unforgiving minute is a bit more my speed – a book about a man who went West Point out of high school and his life thereafter as a military officer. I have to admit I am a bit jealous as I had wanted a career in the Air Force as a JAG and I wanted to go to the Air Force Academy for college. Ah well, nothing like living life vicariously through reading.
