Frisian Frillies

Both piling up... ;)

Repetitive spinning injury? No, not yet! But thank you for all your great comments on my DIY antics ;) I have my dad to thank for that strange kink in my brain that 'makes me' make stuff and do things like this. Combine this with a creative crafts streak from my mom, and this is what happens! I wonder what my dad would say if he could see me spinning on home-made spindles! His mom did it all too, but then on a proper wheel. She had sheep and goats and did everything from sheering to carding, spinning and knitting herself. Such a shame they're not here anymore to enlighten and teach me! I miss them... But seriously, because my deadline (which one, you may ask, my life only seems to consist of deadlines these days...) is looming ever closer, I'm doing a bit more typing than is good for me. Steve has already compared my typing to a rollercoaster on the keys, and boy, am I feeling it. My elbows are raw (I am typing with two cushions underneath them), my wrists are sore and ...

You signed up on June 18, 2007. You are #9791 on the list. 567 people are ahead of you in line. 16451 people are behind you in line. 35% of the list has been invited so far. :-) Since yesterday, 150 people got added to Ravelry. According to my calculations, I should have my Ravelry invite by the end of the week. Unless they invite 150 people once a week on Friday, or once a month... Aaaarghhh! This obsession is getting the better of me. As if I've not got enough blogs, lists of blogs to read, things to do... Better do something else for a change, like cook for my family :-) Easy today, Heinz beans, eggs and nice cutlets, yum. I have also decided that tonight is a diaper making night, so hopefully some nice piccies of cutesies to show you tomorrow... I got some necessities for making diaper covers as well, so we'll see how productive I am after baby S has gone to bed. I already noticed that not having wee H for a few days (she's off gallivanting with her granny) has greatly ...

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Just had to get it out of my system... I've been editing a translation book on painting for the last two, no actually three, days now, and it's doing my nut in. It was supposed to be a one-day job, but as I have to make so many corrections, I've been glued to my seat and red pen for days... I'm neglecting all my favorite things, like knitting in front of the telly, and can't do what I was supposed to do: lengthen baby S's sleeping bags and adding straps (he's a roll-over these days...), knit big S's second sock, finish off wee H's cardigan and then START SOMETHING NICE FOR ME. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Good thing is, I got loads and loads of money for my birthday (which was on Saturday, but for some reason, Blogger still called it Friday...), so we're off to IKEA tomorrow to buy a suitable solution for our hallway, which is too cluttered an...
