Catching up
Well work is slow so I thought I would catch up my journal a little. I wanted to share this cool picture of a web that was outside my window. It took me a little to figure out how to get my digital camera off automatic but I thought the results were worth it.
Life here is good. Had a garage sale a couple of weeks ago, didn't make much money but got rid of some stuff. I'm thinking when my contract ends in Dec. I'll sell some stuff on ebay.
Been doing some sewing in addition to knitting. I'm learning how to make bags and really enjoying it. My aunt who has moved down here is big into quilting so we are always visiting quilting shops. I'd much rather visit knitting shops but I go with the flow and there are way more fabric shops in this area then there are yarn shops so I just go along. There is some very cool fabric around and some of it calls to me so I've decided to start making some bags. Think I might try to sell some of them on etsy.com Not sure if they are good enough but it is worth a shot.
I'm headed to California this weekend to visit Bre. Can hardly wait to see her!!! She got us tickets to see the Bonnie Hunt show and we are going to go bike riding on the beach and visit her work as well as some places in downtown LA which carry purse hardware. I'm really looking forward to it. I'm sure she'll find time to do some triathalon training while I'm there.
The weather here is awesome. Sunny and cool. My favorite time of year and now that I'm eating local honey my allergies don't seem to be bothering me too much.
I'm not looking at my stock portfolio since I'm sure it will make me crazy. But I'm assuming I'm going to have to keep working for a while more. I'm hoping I can get another contract when mine ends in Dec.
TV is interesting this year. Like Chuck, and Pushing Daisies, and Bones, and Eureka, and the Big Bang Theory (this is a show all nerdy people should watch), and of course Dr. Who and Torchwood. I think I might like The Mentalist. I know I like the lead actor. What a cutie.
Still knitting up a storm and right now am working on a sweater for my mom. I'm even going to be teaching a beginning knitting class starting Oct. 7. Hope to meet some nice people that way. I really enjoy the women I've met at the knitting group in Springfield.
