Here I am...
Just some randomness for today.
We are still recovering from the supreme irritation otherwise known to us all as "spring forward". Talk about throwing everyone for a loop particularly this morning. Dragged ourselves out of bed late and barely got William to school on time at exactly 8:15. Even Thomas who generally springs up at an ungodly time in the morning had to be roused this a.m. This change coupled with the fact that we didn't get to bed until super late, not your best combo. We had to discuss that latest developments. We bought a house. :) Finally. Thirty-three years old, my first house. I waited a long time, we waited a long time. Bouncing from one city to the next following this crazy educational pursuit. Finally permanence (well in three months). Anyway, will tell you more about it when things are finalized (don't want to jinx anything). If you want to see some photos, send me an email.
Other stuff, loved all your recommendations for the tea. You guys are awesome. Now if I may request one more flash of brilliance from you all. I want some new "running shoes" (but not for running, I have some Avias for that), casual ones, stylish you know. I have searched and haven't found anything I like. Just to wear around. Any suggestions?
I finished the sweater I posted about a little while ago. Turned out surprisingly well. Still need some practise setting in sleeves, sewing together being my great nemesis. Will take some photos of it soon. Started in on a kind of ballet wrap sweater now, but I'm not sure I'm loving the blue-ish colour yarn (Medium Blue) I chose. It's a cotton cashmere blend, feels super in any case. Now I'm contemplating my next sweater which I'm going to order from Kim Hargreaves . Ack, if you don't knit, you might be inclined to give it a go after you see her sweaters. She used to design for Rowan, my favourite. Anyway, her site is in the UK, but they ship to North America, and I've heard the service is super. Everything is included, and it's all Rowan yarns. Sigh. I think I'm going to order Ruby in Scarlet (just like the photo).
Happy week!
