Honestly, since I left the theater, I don’t think I’ve understood this phrase as much as I do right now. Somehow I have forgotten how many hours there are in a day and have just taken on a bit too much. I guess that is the downfall of finally having a handle on my MDD for the first time in quite a few years. Guess I will have to learn about restraint again. ;^) So much to do!
On top of the WiPs I had already going on, a few weeks ago my sister~in~law called to say there would be a baby show for our niece on the 9th (last weekend). That’s right, do the math, I’m going to be a great aunt. Our niece’s mother is Doug’s older sister from his father’s first marriage, so I don’t feel quite as old, but it is still a bit of an odd feeling. Then again, I have an uncle who is 5 months younger then me, so I guess I should just chill a bit.
Erin’s upcoming arrival did finally give me the excuse to create a knit chart I have been wanting to make for quite a bit. I even found the time to pdf it so I can share it with you. You can find it on Craftsy or Ravelry.
Isn’t the bow adorable? It is the Pin Up Girl Bow by Heather Pierce. I’m going to have to make a few with some other yarns for hair clips for the girls.
I recently found this forgotten bit in a box. It will stay in it’s sleeveless state until after Halloween. There just isn’t enough time.
Before Halloween arrives there are faerie wings and things to make.
There are bi~monthly Yarrn Club meeting to attend.
There are walks in the park, library story times, and friends at the playground who want to play. Even new friends for Mommy, who enjoy watching their littles play train down the slide with my littles.
Yup, it’s fall. The weather has no consistency. We went off to the warehouse club on the 3rd and it was rather cold!
Just to freak me out even more about how much needs to be done soon, the store was nice enough to have Christmas out.
The nicest part about long trips to the warehouse club is it really wipes out the girls…
…Which gives me a few moments to relax.
Even with everything that I need to get done, the girls and I still do our best to find quality time together.
And sometimes a little something happens to take me away, even for just a small time. The other day a box arrived from Germany (where Mom & Dad are currently stationed).
It was full of goodies!
Cute hair clips the girls and I have already worn a few times. Bookmarks I’m sure came from when they were stationed in Japan. A bag of chocolate Euros! How fun is that? I was so amused by the Euros, especially the cute rectangular guys. Some hazelnut wafers, and some jelly cow fruit snacks. The girls love the cows, but they only get one at a time, as I am sure they are very bad for teeth and full of sugar.
Then of course there are still so many bits an pieces of the flower faerie costumes. As I think I have told you before, I would love it if all the pieces are wearable outside of being a costume. With the exception of the wings, obviously.
OK, back to work for me.
Have a wonderful weekend, my friends. I hope we all find a bit of time to relax.
