BIT BY BIT
Finished the first of the posse socks. And even more amazing I got the toe done on the second.




















Last night I started a new project. The Button Wrap from the Louis Harding Accessories Collection.
I am using pink/purple color way. So far so good. That Sari Ribbon is a challenge to wind up.




Tomorrow I have to finish a difficult project at work. So today I am going to spend the day knitting and watching the Midsommer Murder mysteries on the Biography channel.

Have pleasant day - Libraryminion

LAZY MORNING

A Saturday off! And I got to sleep in. Instead of getting up at 5 a.m. I rolled out a a quarter to 9. The Cat of cats was not pleased - her breakfast was shamefully late.
I have been popular this a.m. The Blood drive people called ( I go in on Monday evening) and a good friend rang. Unfortunately it was to make sure I was okay. The title of my last entry worried her. As a librarian I should have referenced it. It was a shorten quote from a song from Disney's Alice in Wonderland - not a cry of unrest. I am bad.
My sister's birthday is coming up and my Dad & I might go in together with a gift. So today we will put our heads together and try to think of something wonderful. It is very hard to choose a gift for a legal eagle.

On the knitting side I have also been bad. I got the HP socks & bag wraped up but forgot it Friday morning - so delivery will be Monday. And the posse socks are mocking me. Missed the party and the 2nd sock is still a only a yarn dream.
I am at the point that my mind has started to plan out another all together different project.

That's about it for now. A day of utter laziness awaits.

P.S. Here is a pic of the poor hungry (HAHA) cat.

Hello - Goodbye
I am very pleased with myself. Yesterday I got the 2nd of the 5 packages off to my SP8 yesterday. Just 3 more (or rather 2 since someone else is sending one of them).

Tonight I will get the HP socks together for turning over.

Work has been a pain. I got a few things done but there are still evil jobs laying in wait for me.
I got a real clue to the whole of it when I was called into the President's office this morning.
Very much the weak knee moment.

This is just a quick note - I am off to merge into traffic.

Show and Tell Time

Here are the pictures from yesterday.


The package is carefully put together.










What do you think?


But wait it has to be inspected.



It passed!









As to the current project the pose socks are very slowly coming along. These are my first toes up socks.














Glad I finally got the images up.
At lunch today I am sending off the next package to my SP8. The 'theme' is touch. It has six balls of Plymouth Bamboo and a pattern for a camisole/ shrug combo. I also made some stitch makers and popped in a few clover knitting notions.

Bye for now - Libraryminion

Monday Off!

Well I had Saturday duty at the library so Monday is mine. I am off to the UPS store. Yes I really did get a package put together for my SP8. It is the Taste of the 5 Senses series I am sending off. It has a tortilla soup mix, dried blueberries, biscotti, lavender chocolate, a fruit & nut bar, dipping spice (for adding to olive oil), and a large bag of See's sugar sticks. I was carefully supervised while packing it up.

The best news to day is that the flowers actually got to my SP8 only one day after her birthday. Hurrah!

I am making some progress on my posse socks but it is slow going.
Well I am off to deal with shipping - maybe later the pics.

Some time later ......

Well, I have sent off the package run several errands & still can not load pics to this entry. So I will post as is and add them Tuesday.

Here we go. A bit of a time delay - but purlpaw all the same.Now appearing the amazing techno cat!

PLAYTIME

I have been playing with a new toy!

The bright new treasure is a Creative Zen Nano Plus mp3 player.* And itÂ’s RED!

I enjoy listen to audiobooks from the library and in order to play them I needed something other than my little Disney Mix Stick player. I can download the books from Netlibray through the public library's site. The only problem is my home machine is a Mac and so I have to use a computer else where to get started.(I bet you all can guess where).

Back to the player; it is great so far. My only challenge is the controls are much smaller and the digital view screen for the menu has very tiny type. What is really neat is I can import directly from a CD player as well.

On the knitting front I have been a lazy lazy girl. Ah well, tonight I go to get my hair done so I will be able to knit on the LYS sock pose project.

I am trying to sort out a way to send my SP8 spoilee some flowers for her birthday. British florists speak a different jargon on their sites. And it seems that no matter which site I try it will arrive after her BDay. I am trying to use Flora2000.com ; so cross your fingers & wiggle your toes.

Have a pleasant day - Libraryminion

*Really the woman can barely use her work phone - purlpaw (There was to be a cleaver iof me. Unfortunately for you it is playing hide & seek. / purlpaw)

Feeling Hot - Hot - Melted

Houston weather seems to have settled into 3 categories - unpleasant, uncomfortable, and unbearable. Oh, it looks wonderful from the indoor side of the window. But the moment you step outside your underwear is bonded to your body. This climate does not encourage much activity. So I am going to use it as my excuse for no recent blogs. Okay it is a lame one but it is the one I am sticking with. Besides as I have mentioned in Houston you stick to just about everything.
I have been doing a few things in the realm of SP8. The last week of July I sent off email cards to both my spoiler & my spoilee. I found some neat “virtual vacation” cards so we all could take non-reality trips at our respective work spaces. My wonderful spoiler was quite surprised. From her message she has been leading an interesting (read challenging)life. I also arranged for a years subscription to a knitting magazine for my spoilee. I did a bit of research and found one that promises regular bonus gifts through out the year. I just got the email saying that my spoilee has received her announcement from the magazine about the subscription. I am also collecting goodies for the grand finale. Since the package has to travel across the pond I need to mail it out soon.
I finally finished the Harry Potter socks. I also knitted up a small draw string bag to put some extra yarn in. I just have to print out the sock sleeve and turn it over. The baby blanket has hit a speed bump. Heck, it has fallen and can’t get up.
Hope everyone has a good week.
