Craft-tastic!

Yesterday, I had painters scheduled to come to paint one of our bedrooms (incidently, the bedroom that will one day become the baby's room one day.  It's a wreck!).  I hate being at home when workers are in the house, so I escaped to my sisters for the day.  We had a big day planned of shopping, lunch, and crafting.

As always, I had a great time.  It is so wonderful to have someone who is always there for me and always makes me laugh.  We went to the craft stores and stocked up on supplies as well as vegetable seeds, went out for buffalo wings, and walked her loony dog before we settled down and made the cutest (in my opinion) Burlap Spring Wreaths.  So much fun!  Here is some photographic evidence for you...

Fun with Yarn

I've been sick for the past 5 days.  I'm still under the weather a bit, but I finally found the idea medicine cocktail today and felt like I was miraculously cured.  It was AMAZING the difference I felt in such a short amount of time.  All of a sudden, I was overwhelmed with energy - I could breathe and talk again, I felt like getting up off the couch, I wanted to go outside, I wanted to do everything.  It felt so good to feel better.

So, after my husband talked me out of doing anything crazy, and after my failed attempt to get a manicure (I need it so bad too, but who would think that the salon would be closed on Sunday?), I decided to get crazy and dig out some knitting projects that have been languishing for a year plus.  It was so much fun to dig out the sweater I've been making for over a year, and see how close I am to being finished.  I sat on the couch and knit for about an hour.  I forgot how enjoyable it is to knit.  Now I'm re-enthused to dig into my knitting projects again.  What fun!
