Hello all. Last weekend I was at my LYS and I found something that my secret pal was looking for. So, I got pretty excited, bought it and then packaged it up to mail on Tuesday. I am also working on a birthday gift for her at this same time. I made something on Saturday, but wasn't totally pleased with the results so have started something else today and hopefully I will be able to mail it on Friday so that it will arrive for her birthday. I have been having so much fun mixing and matching different yarns and colors lately. I am trying to prepare myself for a class and so I am wanting to have a few samples to show. I do have to get back to my felted slippers. They are just sitting on the table waiting to be felted. Now most of you would say what's the hang up. Well, I have a front load washing machine and items do not felt well in front load machines plus you cannot open the door at a whim to pull the project out to look at it. So, I have to go to my Mom's which is not a big deal except that they have their water heater turned down so low. Yes I can turn it up to do my project, but what if I forget to turn it back down again? Yikes!!! That is really why I like to have more than one item to felt at a time. Jennifer (she works for me) has learned to knit also. It is one of the job requirements here. Anyway, maybe Jen and I will have a felting day together. She had like seven items ready to felt and was terrified to felt them. Finally she got brave and now I don't think I can stop her. She is currently working on making a dog sweater for her dalmation. Her name is Princess and she gets cold in the winter time, so this will be very appropriate for her. My dogs have so much hair that if I put a sweater on them they would melt. It is a beautiful day where I live. I am going to say it is in the 80's and just downright pleasant. My office is located on the same property as our home. So, I look out my office window at a beautiful view. Sometimes I feel a little guilty because it is so lovely here. But, not for long. Tomorrow I will be taking my husband to the doctor so that he can have his second cataract surgery. Wow is he excited. He has had to wear contact lenses his entire life from the age of 13 so for the first eye to now be 20-25 vision, he is excited. If the second one turns out that well, I will have one happy camper in my camp. We do live about two hours away from where this procedure will take place, so we will be on the road a bit tomorrow. Then I take him back on Friday to have the patch removed and they will look at it and he will be able to see the results. So, that is pretty exciting for us. I look forward to the time he is in surgery to be knitting. Maybe tonight I will have some energy left and try to post some of my pictures.
