Yup, that's me, and AssHat Extraordinaire. Ever have one of those days where you just slighty can't stand yourself?? I'm having one of those days. I'm not going to get into why I feel rather like a prick today, it's a little too personal but that about sums up my day. I'm sure I can clear things up, make them better but right now it sucks....
I'm knitting. Bought some yarn yesterday at Wal-Mart for a buck (regular $6.00, proud of that one) and now I'm knitting yet another scarf. I'm starting to become convinced that they're the only thing I can knit. I know the difference but I've been knitting them steadily for about a year now. Christmas gifts. Everyone seems to like something hand made that has a purpose such as keeping you warm. Maybe I should start knitting sweaters or socks or mittens too. That could be a good idea.
I'm starting a sewing project tonight. I'm practicing sewing a teddy bear before I start making this year's Christmas presents for my sisters. See, I have some old clothes that belonged to my parents and I'm going to use the fabric to make Memory Bears. I think it is a much better idea to have a nicely sewn teddy bear made with your loved ones clothes to remember them by than to just have their clothes sitting in a box packed away in a basement or closet. Maybe this is another reason I feel shitty today, I'm missing my Mom and Dad.
On that note, I'm going to try to get over the feeling of being Top Shit Head, make some supper for my girls and start sewing....wish me luck.
Go with socks or, better yet, mittens. They're super easy, dead useful and nowhere near as boring to knit as scarves.
ReplyDeleteI like the Briggs and Little patters, but that's just me.
