Yep. I forgot to blog yesterday! I made that realization in the middle of the night, but I did not lose any sleep over it. Heh.

Yesterday was FULL!

I ran some errands in the morning, which included a little socializing with the local spinning/fiber group. And by a little, I mean around :45! It was on my route, though, and it worked out.

Then the kiddos came over so Mom & Dad could do a little kid-free shopping and they even grabbed a bite to eat together.

Ginny & Junah helped me with some new fall decor:

We played and had snacks and watched a movie.

Malina is sitting up so great that I thought I could try the booster seat high chair thingy, and she did great! What do you think, what is that face telling us… does she like avocado??

I gave all the kids their mukluks, but this is the only photo I got. I kept them all here, though, so I'll try again on Thursday! Bonus: 5-year-old Baby Leggings that I originally knit for Junah!

It's a sunny morning — the kind of morning that I love best in the studio — so off I go! I'll be back with the real "18" later… unless I forget!!

Since the kids are coming over tomorrow for a while around lunchtime…

Y'all might not have to wait until Thanksgiving for a modeled shot!! I don't think I'll be able to keep them to myself!

I knit a pair of these for Rusty in the past and lemme just say that these littles were WAY more fun!

Have a great weekend. I'll check in sometime tomorrow, of course!

3TT: Three Things on Thursday · NaBloPoMo 2018

3TT*

Thing 1 — I dropped a Wonder Clip the other night, heard it skitter on the floor, and got up to look for it — twice. I didn't come up with it, but I did find an earring that I'd lost weeks ago! I was beginning to think it was truly lost and had already bought a cheap (but rather nice) knock-off pair — because they're practically part of my uniform.

Thing 2 — There's only one pair of Mukluks left to sew up! They're the biggest, but between Knit Night & tonight's Packer game, I ought to be able to get them done today!

Thing 2b – What to knit next???

Thing 3 — Dyeing.

I spent Tuesday morning down there and it was glorious — the light on a sunny morning is so great! Looking forward to some dye time this weekend. It sure helps to brighten up a cold November day.

Speaking of found things, particularly money…

Spot the $20 bill!

I have a couple of tins in which I keep my traveling sewing supplies — various types of needles, thread, scissors, thimbles — and at the bottom of one is a $20 bill. It's been there for a long time — a few years — and I can't recall why I put it there in the first place, but I keep forgetting about it and am surprised when I find it again… every.single.time. I doubt I'd even remember it was there if I was ever so desperate!!

Oh, Alabama!! It was a year ago that Kym & I were at the Alabama Chanin 3-Day Workshop — I've been seeing FB reminders of that very fun trip. My "I Got Swamped" pin from Judy Hood's Swampette Tour is peeking from under some scissors in the top tin. I wish I was further along on my Car Jacket, but it's been out on my work table and I've definitely been thinking about it… even making a stitch now and then. *sigh*

One of the things I always have with me is tissue — usually those little packs that fit easily into a pocket or purse. So I really loved the very useful little gift that Kathy gave me YEARS ago, and I used it almost everyday… until I lost it!

But, last week, when I stuck my hand into the pocket of my winter coat for the first time this "winter," I found it! Oh happy day! It made me almost as happy as when I've done that and found $10 or $20!

Haha. Almost.   :)
