On the run!

The Portland Purls will be gathering here on Saturday at 10 AM (And if I haven't gotten to you yet, and you want to come, please give me a call!) and I am working all day Friday, so today is the clean house, do the baking, set the table day. I was going to make gingerbread, but I'm out of molasses, so it's also shopping day. AND, it's the day when I am taking my first book, Sanna, Sorceress Apprentice, to read to a grade school class. So I'm flying low right now. Should I stuff the deviled eggs on Friday night, or wait till Saturday morning?

The suggestions for the "Discarded Flowers" yarn have been very helpful. A lace shawl is a lovely thought. I am, however, lace impaired. On the other hand, to quote Lucia (soundslikefuschia) I am bisticktual, so perhaps I should crochet something . . .

  1. Don't you love the Discarded Flowers? I have not been disappointed once by her color sense!

    I tagged you for an award. :)

    Kim and I won't be able to come this time, she's still sick, though probably not contagious, it's just better to stay home. Take care!

  2. Oohh... a crochet mesh scarf...(I forget what that technique is called...the one where you make pictures using the spaces... filet crochet--that's it! Do a filet crochet picture--you'll love it!)

    Anyway--enjoy reading your book out loud...you'll get such a rush!

    I read the first two Sanna books just after Christmas (absolutely loved them), and you've said you're working on the fourth book... when can I get the third? *taps foot* I'm impatient :)

  4. I think you should try my basic diamond/triangle lace pattern. Which is really, really basic. Really.

    I'd definitely go for tomorrow morning on the deviled eggs. I wouldn't want to leave eggs sitting around outside their shells for any length of time.
