tinkling tuesday

no we are not in the bathroom

I mean the sound of the ice outside

a thin covering on everything

no photos though

because

well,

it's very very icy

and I'm not too swift on my feet when it's dry

so not going to risk falling on my

sit upon

I got up very very early this morning

5.15 am

to be precise

that's what happens when you conk out on the sofa at

oohh

9.30ish the night before

this knitting thing hypnotises me and I nodded off

:) :) :)

so I went on a blog hop

and boy can you run the gamut of emotions

reading the blogs

all in the scope of a few minutes

you can be laughing your face off

crying and getting tears in your coffee

getting miffed at who knows what or why

(don't remember)

and then there are the babies

or the little ones that share their mummies spaces

little ones coming out of some horrible operation

or a boo boo from falling down stairs

the kids are OK but the mums aren't

someone who writes about a divorce

parents ill or dying

kids doing things that make ones heart big and full

I tell you

it's a journey I don't take everyday

but today I did

and it's really something this peeking into each others lives

the sharing and the caring

sooo 21st century

!!!

....

then I decided to have a go at the knitting

changed needles to metal ones and a size smaller

bamboo needles don't have very pointy ends so it makes it hard to pick up stitches that are a little tight

because you are so very very conscience of tension

even sticking the tongue out doesn't help

!!!

made some bobbins by wrapping yarn around my fingers

got it all caught up in my rings

so

remove rings

tell your self off for not having bought the bobbins you saw the last time you were in the

useless craft store

they cost a total of

$1.89

worth it when the trip to an ER or the shrink

would cost so much more

 as you cut cardboard into bobbins

and nearly cut a finger off!!!

I didn't

but I could have!!

wrap said bobbins with yarn

find something to use as stitch markers

coz you don't have any of those either

and if you are going to add stitches

you have to know where the pattern starts and ends

so you don't "shift" the stitches

constantly and always

:{

find a post it note to follow the pattern

do not write things on it

as things get complicated trying to figure out what means what

and when it meant that

get everything ready

tidy the area you plan on working in

sweep the floors

make another cup of coffee

feed the cat

listen to the hubs tell you something and just nod

politely

decide what's for dinner

and if you want lunch now or later

futz about as long as you can

tell the hubs to eat the cake

 that's what its' there for

and

and

write a blog post

because you know you will be in no condition to

after the fact

of

starting over

for the

third time

it's this time

or its

never

.....

I'm going in

I'll see you when it's done

ohh............

maybe this time next week should do it!!!!!!!!

be good and don't do anything I wouldn't

xx
