I've only managed to get two blog posts done.
I've barely done any knitting, or painting, or much of anything.
Today has been the hardest, mentally, because an emotional scar got ripped open. And I was not in the best place to deal with it.
Right now I feel raw. Stripped to the bone.
So forgive me, but this is just going to be a short list post. I need to get my butt back in gear and put the effort back into this that it deserves.
1. I did manage to get a shawl done for August, but I haven't had the energy to write the post. But here's a little preview.
2. Jamie and I have been together for a year now. And this deserves so much more fanfare. But again, I haven't had the energy.
3. I finally managed to give Bethany birthday presents on time for the first time in about 5 years. She got a painting and a little knit cactus.
4. Al started high school. This is still terrifying.
5. Great Trail time is upon us again, and of course, I made my way to the spinning house and picked this up.
6. I FINALLY made myself some fingerless gloves after making some for like everyone else. I should have used different yarn and moved the owl pattern over a few stitches, but I was frantically trying to get them done to wear at Great Trail. And I'm glad, because it was effing cold.
Yarn is some random alpaca blend that I actually bought at Trail a few years ago.
7. I saw this at Joann's and need somebody to buy it for me as a birthday present.
8. And we found this guy shoved into the ivy in the floral department at Pat Catan's. I couldn't say no. It was too cute. So he's living in my library now.
9. Yes. I have a library. Yes, it's as awesome as you think. Yes, there will be a blog post about it in the future. But there are a couple of key components I'm waiting on before it's truly done.
10. Renee found this notebook for me and it's pretty much the best thing ever.
11. I harvested a bunch of herbs and now my hallway looks delightful.
12. This guy's pretty cute.
13. Ending on cat pictures because internet.
