I’d love to show you my progress of the February Lady Sweater. But I’m at work so I can’t get to Flickr. So like go to my stream and stuff and see. I just past my 2nd buttonhole so it is going well. I have two other gift projects to work on as well so I’m going to have to alternate projects. That and I want more hats done for the shop.

Once upon a time my friend C had a Mini Cooper. Sugar was its name and it was a fine little car even it she was a bit of a lemon. Life changed and Sugar went on to a new home but C still pined for the Mini life. Another piece of the universe fell back into place last Friday when C drove off with her new Mini Clubman. I had the pleasure of riding in the new car to the Pavilions on Saturday night to meet up with other Minis and on a ride to Show Low and Payson on Sunday. Most of my February Lady Sweater progress was done on the run.

Other than that life is much the same as when I last left off. I’m still trying to get the house clean and the animals are still ruling said household. It still isn’t May (for reals, what’s up with that?! haha) so I haven’t left for my vacation yet.

I’m knitting and sewing and playing Mafia Wars on Facebook and chatting and smiling and working and exercising and thinking and cleaning and falling hard and crocheting and catching up and pondering and well…living

I’m loading up my plate again so that may or may not be a good thing. I have the feeling that it is about time for a to do list and an assessment of priorities. From time to time I need to sit down and really focus on what I need to get done, and in what order. And answer questions like: why do I need to do this thing? is this important to me to get this done? realistically when do I have to get this done? I’m one of those people who try and do everything all at once then beat myself up for being lazy and not getting it done. Gotta take stock of what is really important to me and learn that it is a-ok to let the other stuff slip sometimes.

Still do do are some custom bags for a fantabulous person, clean the house, do laundry, work out a bunch, buy groceries, finish a pair of socks, bind a quilt, buy new dressers at Ikea, paint my room, finish the painting in the hallway, do my taxes, get the backyard landscaped, get the boys a vet appointment…eeps!
