A Little Slow
So, I happen to be the victim of a serious lack of motivation lately. This has got to be one of the worst feelings in the world. I sit on the couch thinking about all the things I could be doing if I could just work up the drive to get started! In my mind I declared 2009 to be the year of Getting Things Done, much like I decided 2008 would be, but it hasn’t exactly worked out that way.
I took a break from dyeing yarn and fibre at the end of the year which turned into a longer hiatus than I meant it to! I did a couple of custom and wholesale orders but that’s it, and now I need to get myself back into it. I’ve been knitting a bit too, just little projects. I’m trying to spin more, but I need to clear off my bobbins and right now I’m in the middle of turning my house upside down looking for the final ounce of some lavender merino/tencel that I’m almost finished with!
Earlier this month we took a short trip to New Jersey to visit our friends, and I finally got a chance to visit The Craft Lounge, where some of my yarns are sold. What a beautiful place! It’s run by my friend Susie, her sister Kathy and their friend Jen. I wanted to buy everything but I restrained myself to some handmade cloth-covered magnets for my fridge. On our way there, Debbie and I stopped at Sweet Avenue Bake Shop where she picked up these to share with everyone there:
I see on their blog that if you can show them a cupcake tattoo, you get a free cupcake!
Over the past week, Alex has had exams at school and he found out his grades today. I must say I’m a very proud mom right now! He got the highest marks in his class for geography and English, and the second highest in science! Alex had a rough start this fall, getting used to the workload of high school, but he really pulled it together. Congratulations!
