A Time to Laugh

I’m doing better at finishing the projects than I am at photographing them. If you think you might be on my Christmas gift list, then stop reading. Or if you want to put in a request, read on! 

I have a nice set of knitted confections, and I memorized the look of the plastic food at Target today so that I can imitate it. I’ve got to try to do a DQ cone! I finished a felted purse, but it needs a button, I think. I knitted the necklace and bracelet and a random leaf out of copper wire. Grant just laughs at the leaf. There’s got to be something I can do with that.

I want to:

• finish the scarf I just started.
• knit more food.
• knit another bag.
• bead a few bookmarks.
• knit some more wire jewelry. Might start crocheting.
• do this. And I think I can with stuff from here.
• a couple key chains.
• finish the Dollies‘ electricity.

And then my dear friend Mollie introduced me to this. Ah . . . . I want to do this too!

Another old friend is back in my life. Good ol’ Maya. I have a real love-hate relationship with her. I love the fact that she varies the workout, that she asks me how I’m doing every morning, that she slips in yoga without me noticing, and that I feel noticeably stronger pretty quick. I hate that she gets a dig in every so often if I don’t show up (”I was sick, you tyrant!”), that she looks perfect, and that she won’t let me in to certain venues yet. Grrrrr. I started a whole new profile because if I used the old one, there’d be no end to her comments. “Where have you been?” I talk back to her just like I do to the car’s GPS system.

The last time I exercised with Maya, Gavin was just a twinkle. We didn’t have Little Miss Terrierist. This morning was much more lively. Isaac rolling on the exercise ball, Gavin stepping with the weights, and Sugar tugging on my shoelaces. Who needs a workout, right?
