Keeping Up Apperances...

Gee... I really should break out of this habit of posting once a month. I have been busy... honestly!
We have a lot going on family wise, with my father-in-law planning to remarry, selling the house and moving to London. It's been pretty world wind as he will be moving into a smaller place, Peter trying to save our items and suitcases that are stored into the loft by the end of the September.... it's a good thing we just live down the road.

I'm currently in a art slump.... unable to create any art. I have been very busy with my knitting and I've become obsessed with Ravelry.

Oh and guess what... we are going to Rome November 26th-30th...

Should be fun... I've always wanted to go to Rome... other Italian locations are Florence and Venice.

I have so much to complete today, it's not even funny...

out from hiding

well I haven't been hiding really... just trying to cope with everything that life has been trowing our way as of late.... everything is fine now, it just got a little stressful around here... I've also been in some sort of artist rut... still working with it... oh well

So we've seen the 5th Potter film and finished the final book... didn't like the film but looooved the book! the book ended pretty much the way I thought.

Knitting has once again saved me with the on going stresses in life... I'm happily chugging along my Clapotis in Noro Cash Iroha, the Chevron Scarf in Lorna Laces Black Purl and a pair of Slytherin Socks....

...update...

I can't believe almost a month has gone by without me posting... we've been so busy with work and all... I've finished re-reading the 6 Potter books so I'm ready for book 7... I've started another knitting project... and i'm curretly fighting a terrible head/sinus cold... that's it really... oh and I found purple peppers in the supermarket...

caffeinated happiness

We bought our 2nd coffee maker yesterday... Something very simple with a timer and makes filtered coffee... (I couldn't be bothered with one of those pod thingies) So now I'm totally buzzing on my second double coffee....
Coffee makes me so happy... I am not looking forward to the crash though

knitalong

So I decided to make the Two Toned (one tone) Fitted Shrug, my first project Buffy Knit Along project... hopefully that will encourage me to finish it, since I started in March.

I'm such a slow knitter... or I've taken on a lot of projects to do with my busy schedule... what I really should be doing this week is clean out my studio and stock the etsy shop...

As for the Knitting the Classics knitalong I'm almost done reading The Inferno, and I'll probably cast on the project end of the week.
