July Mystery Mittens

I finally finished the thumbs and blocked my July Mystery Mittens this past weekend.

I'm loving the weight and color of these mittens, and anticipate getting quite a bit of wear out of them this winter.

I've been doing quite a bit of posting from my phone, as I had a bit of a computer melt down, so the formatting has suffered.  

Now I'm back with a new MacBook, and all is well!

Many thanks to Paul, my in-house computer go-to-guy.

I'm a very spoiled girl...

Where's Wooldo?

The perfect sheepy t-shirt, on sale at Shirt.Woot today.

I've bought shirts for my kids here, but never one for myself.

Today may be the day.

We must be doing something to be happy

“To do any thing, to dig a hole in the ground, to plant a cabbage, to hit a mark, to move a shuttle, to work a pattern, –in a word, to attempt to produce any effect, and to succeed, has something in it that gratifies the love of power, and carries off the restless activity of the mind of man.  Indolence is a delightful but distressing state:  we must be doing something to be happy.”

–William Hazlitt, “On the Pleasure of Painting”

I've got some extended downtime, so I'm  very happily knitting!

Do your business here?

Why do I half expect to see a little pile of poop on this floor?
