Weekend Update

Things have settled down abit today.  Typically we have a large meal on Sunday evening but being oven-less I needed a new plan.  We could have gone to a restaurant but since I shelled out a large wad of cash yesturday that wasn't in the budget, I decided on burgers at home!

And Auntie has settled down a little today.  (Well - a little)   This morning she started with "What does it look like?  What if I don't like it?  I should have gone to look at it?"   Arrrrgh,  WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE.................Its a large white metal box that gets hot!  Geez  OK, we live in a 100 year old house on the wrong side of the tracks ------ Its a friggin stove!    (Yeah - you can imagine my comments went over like a lead balloon!)   LOL


Last evening, after the dust settled I wanted to get going on my angel rug.  I wanted to do her dress in a deep rose color with soft pink accent.  I knew I had several pieces of rose colored wool upstairs in my stash.  Once I brought it downstairs in the bright light of the kitchen I discovered it was more of a brick red than a rosey wine color.  Dang it - that won't work. 

I sent a message to Corinne so I could raid her studio.  The message was something like - Call me - Emergency.   No response.  The nerve of her to go out on Saturday night and have fun!!!!  hehehehe   So I had no choice but to put the hooking away and blog-stalk all evening.  This morning she messages me back "WHATS WRONG?"    Then I had to laugh and tell her no major emergency - but I need wool!  Its OK - she has a sense of humour.

After my wool raid I could finally get hooking.   Here is my tiny bit of progress.

I certainly felt better once I was able to pull some strips.  The week ahead is a busy one.  Tomorrow is my loooong day at work when I have to stay late for a meeting and then both Mom and I have  appointments later in the week.  Plus there is the meditation workshop!  Woohoo   I will keep you updated!
