tons o' projects

Those who know me, know that my head swims with tons of ideas and thoughts on a daily basis. Things are finally slowing down in my personal life just enough so that I can try to make some of those ideas and long to do lists come into fruition.

Some of my recent productive endeavors:
  • I submitted a pattern to Knitty. If I get rejected, I guess I could also try MagKnits.
  • I finished knitting the hat for Jean, but I haven't gotten around to mailing it. I have a good excuse-- for some reason, I have had lots of problems loading pictures onto this blog and I want to document the had before I mail it.
  • I dyed cotton yarn successfully and this lady bought it from me while it was still wet!
  • I finally signed up for Etsy, but I haven't set up my store.
  • I wrote a new knitting pattern for a neckwarmer scarf.
  • I just wrote a new knitting pattern for a cool lacey gauntlets which I want to sell at a upcoming craft fair with my hand-painted yarns. I definitely will need to recruit some test knitters for this. Any volunteers?
  • I sewed and designed a purse for a friend.

Things that got shoved to the wayside:

  • My house is in dire need of a good cleaning.
  • My home improvements (bathrooms and family room) may never get done.
  • I have tons of dirty laundry
  • My plants are dying, if not dried and shriveled already. I did plant new ones, and they'd be dead, if it wasn't for the fact that Henry (who currently stays with us) actually waters my plants for me.
  • I haven't been paying attention to all the electronic and computer-related stuff piling up in various corners around the house. I better pay attention before hubby takes over the entire house with all the electronic stuff.
  • I have been a neglectful and bad mommy to the kitties. I haven't been playing with them and have not been keeping hubby in check -- he likes to chase the cats around until he catches one to snuggle with. He also makes them dance for people.

I'll test knit for you. Glad to see you have things coming together. Now, if only I could be so lucky.
