The Never Ending List

I have spent so much time being sick again this winter, that my January list has not even been started, I'm still working on this list from last year.

All the same, I am getting some organization done, and I am feeling really excited about the things I have got done.  Chrissy's quilt was a big hit on Sunday, the colors are so perfect for Miss Chriss.... now to get it finished!

I've started the dragon sweater, so named because the name of one of the yarns is "Dragon".  It is being knit on the diagonal in short row technique, and while I was not sure of the design, when it finally hit me how it was going to work, I was very excited to get moving on it.  I think I have almost half of the back done.... it is going to be wild and wonderful.  From the back, I'll have a better idea of how to draft the fronts, to avoid the shapeless look of the original pattern.  On huge needles, the  knitting is going fast.  I know I'll have to put it away for next year, but it will be one thing off list.

Tomorrow is my hand work day, and I plan on trying to finish the owl that was started long ago, and try to find a home for him.  I need to think about whether or not I want to start the Unicorn, knowing that the wool yarn has been damaged and may not be able to be worked with, I am guessing I could explore translating everything to floss, but it seem that would not at all be the look I am hoping for.

Wednesday will be back to finishing Ruby's dress and I hope, finishing some new bags for Etsy.  It'll be good to have some of my work up there, that is what the site was to be used for....

Thursday I hope to layer Chrissy's quilt and have it quilted out by Ruby's party on Sunday... and then maybe on Friday I'll explore a new skirt to go with my new jacket.  Or maybe new pants.  We'll see.  The week is shaping up to be a very busy one.  I wonder already how much of it I will be able to do around my rest and therepy schedule, but there is no sense is doing nothing.  Move forward.  You can never go home again.

DO SOMETHING CREATIVE WITH YOUR MONDAY.  WHEN YOU DO, THE REST OF THE WEEK IS SO MUCH EASIER TO FACE


With mercury retrograde, my friend reminded me that this is the time to "reclaim", "Re-do" and "Remind"... and so I am re -doing how I approach my work week, reclaiming much lost space and reminding myself that "this too shall pass".
