A HUGE ‘thank you’ to Mark who set this up for me.  I’m learning, so please bear with me.  So, you may be wondering what I have been up to since my last post.  Somehow, I have fallen WAY behind on my blogging.  In the worlds of Bugga and Jammer, they have started ‘camp’.  It’s three hours a day at the preschool.  This is Jammer’s first time being away from me and she’s having a tough time adjusting, but gets better every day.  In the world of knitting, I have actually been working fast and furious on some projects.  Here’s what I’ve accomplished since I last posted:

1.  Hubby’s socks – woo hoo!  I had the cutest little tiny ball of yarn when I was done.  I’m pretty happy that he has requested short socks for his next pair.  I’ll start those when he wears the first pair.

2.  Noni’s Harlequin Pillbox – I did this in Ohio while visiting my parents with the girls.  It is rather large for my taste (the size of a Maxwell House coffee can – the big one).  I like little evening bags. Big enough to carry lipstick and a tampon as my friend’s daughter put it.  This one will get gifted to my favorite LYS owner.  Maybe it can be a cute display for something at the store.

3.  Monkey Socks for me – 1 done and off the needles, 1 to go.

4.  Noni Adventure Bag – evening bag size.  For my mom – it came out nice, but I must still finish it.

Today, I have been working on sewing a zipper and plastic canvasing the noni harlequin.  It came out pretty good – I think Jo will like it.

Now for the interesting part of this week.  I found out that I have a little friend in my pantry at night.  He is of the rodent variety and he leaves his little droppings much to my chagrin.  I have put out traps for him, but last night he left his presents 2″ from the trap.  Smart little bugger.  I have issues with my uninvited guest.  I acutally don’t mind mice and don’t really want to hurt him, but the droppings and the eating of my food must stop!  I will keep you posted on how this situation evolves.
