Fiber Fool

I’m a big chicken! I lost all my sewing momentum when we lost lighting in the basement. Now that we have lighting again I’m a bit, fat, chicken! I think it is because so much time has past since my victory with SIL3’s purse… I’m still planning on put the pattern into a PDF. I’ve made a few of the schematics, but there are several more diagrams to make. But eventually I’ll have a pattern for that for you!

A friend mentioned that the next trip to MN will be a fun one and that I could make it a nice show and tell time. That makes a lot of sense. However, instead of that motivating me to get cracking on the skirts I had been planning it has me thinking I should ball up the natural cottom I got from Textiles-A-Mano before Laura moved and get going on Bombshell from Big Girl Knits. I don’t think a two week turn around on a worsted weight t-shirt is that unrealistic, but I doubt I could get that *and* a skirt or two or three done before the return trip…

There is of course the inexplicable draw to my bed and the books too… Okay, not quite so inexplicable. I’m in the throes of one of the worst bouts of PMS I’ve ever had that has me with little to no energy, extremely high pain levels (higher than I have had in months and months, though it is normal for me to have a pain flare this time of the month), and my usual almost head cold as the hormone changes also cause my allergies act up beyond the capabilities of my allergy meds. *sigh*

Calgon, take me away… Then someone examine my head to make sure my brain as returned, okay? LOL!

P.S. If I find some energy I may add in some pics of the fabrics I’m planning on using for the skirts…
