Feeling better

Well other than my asthma I am feeling lots better. Went out today to do a little shopping. That wore me out but there were some things I had to get done. Have started packing for Desert Mesa,but haven't figured out my 10 or found a baby photo yet.

Crude

The Gremlin gave me her cold and I am not happy. My nose is running, my chest hurts, my throat is sore and I have coughing fits. This better be gone by next week as I am planning to be at the spinning retreat and I have things to do and places to go before I leave. Haven't done any knitting, spinning or sewing as my brain isn't functioning very well.

Today really is Saturday

Went to Jackies to do some quilting but we didn't get very much done other than visit and catch up on things. I did cut out the smashing for some star blocks I have had done for ages. (Ages is a term for ........ It has been so long I can't remember when I did them.)

Priscilla

We have a new dog. She is a Yorkie/Maltese cross who is called Silly for short.

Dogs

Yesterday Bizeth and I went to Heathers so she could take Priscilla's stitches out. Elizabeth did a lot of giggling as she loved all the dogs at Heathers. She is down to six at the moment.

This past weekend I went to Canby,Oregon with Gail and Lynne. Despite the almost constant wind and rain, I had a great time. There was as pinning/knitting circle, a gallery with fabulous displays and a multitude of wen doors. Some of the poor vendors were out on the lawn and almost got blown away. In fact some didn't come and some left early the weather was so bad. Lynne said that for the first time in 15years the vendors were allowed to leave early. I actually did do some spinning, filled one bobbin,(or almost). Bought some lovely fibre and found a bargain on some books. Have to have coffee before I write any more Lynne.

So many, many things to do.

Well I am off the crutches for a week now and rarely use my cane.  I am still waiting for the steri- strips to drop off.  I keep trimming the edges as they become loose. have to see the surgeon next week so will see what he has to say.My knee is great, sore if I over do    It but oh how far modern medicine has come.  I will have two little scars not the 6-8 inch or bigger scar that people used to have after this type of surgery.  Fibre optics have made an amazing change for surgery.

I have finally put one of my patterns into a semi-proper formate and one of my friends is test knitting it for me.   I think I have redone the pattern about 5 times and I think it is right now.  Poor Tammy has received at least four revisions.  I need to re-knit this pattern myself.  I tried it with some variegated yarn to see if the pattern would show up but that was a bust so now I am doing it in a Teal colour called Snow Cone, Sock- ease from Lion Brand yarn.

I now have ideas for other patterns to write up, some I have already done and others are still in my head. I do need to find a better program for charting.   I really want to do a stole but haven't yet got past the wanting to do one.  I really need to finish some of my WIPs before I start doing this.

I have to go as The girls are here and Elizabeth wants to play "The Cleaning Game".
