I actually have very little to whine about for once. Yesterday was pretty darn good.
I bought a few more accessories for my guest bath at Ikea. The kelly green bath mat, a bath towel, and a couple of frames. Last time I bought washcloths in the green for countertop towel stand (the ‘hand towels’ were way too big), a new shower curtain, and a set little baskets. I have one piece embroidered in baragello that is in one frame (a little crooked..need to fix that) and I think I will make another for the 2nd frame. Now the guest bath yellow is not the yellow of the living room..it is crazy bright you blind you yellow. The natural color of the frames doesn’t look so great on that so I am thinking of maybe painting a green rectangle on the wall as a ‘frame’ for the frames. And yes, I am too lazy to just repaint the whole bathroom like I want to.
Maybe later.
So on to the good day! So after Ikea I went to the yarn shop. Lots of people there which was nice and I also took a class about the Cat Bordhi Moebius Cast On. Terry at TYF taught the class and it went very well. As part of the class we tried on different moebius shawls, hoods, and scarves to see what we wanted to make for our first project and then calculate what size diameter would work for us and the amount to cast on. Moebius is that loop shape that has a half turn in the middle of it. Very cool. Also in class Terry gave me a ton of ideas to improve the glitter shrug from hell. I just may wind up being able to wear it without feeling like I borrowed something form a 10 year old.
Man I’m being detailed today! I’m just glad it was a good day so I want to capture it all me thinks. Anywho, while at the yarn shop I got a surprise call from a friend in Portland. YAY! It was very unexpected and really awesome. I totally suck talking on the phone. I mumble at the best of times in person so on the phone it is all mumbles and ‘uhhhh’ hehehe. This can have hilarious consequences I found. I told Megan that I was at ‘le yarn store’….if came out and was heard in Portland as ‘Le Orange Door’.
We’ve decided it is a supah fancy French cafe. Oh yes, I am part of the jetset and ph so exclusive knitting in my fancy cafes. I’m such a dork being so estatic and shocked that someone would call me. Heehee.
After the yarn shop I went over to a yarn shop pal’s house (again…I have a friend…in person…omg!) to play Spore. OMG have you played this? We talked and hung out (she is working on some amazing Blythe clothes) and I wound up on that game for 7 hours!!!! Dude it was like 1.5 hours, 2 hours tops I swear! Oh no…it is available as a direct download…I’m in trouble. I haven’t even played WoW in a week so how can I add another game? Eeek! Maybe the cats can play WoW for me and finish leveling my character.
So yep, it was a good day and I’m really grateful for that.
