Making room

I've been a busy little bee. I'm getting the house ready for my sweetie to come home. There is now half the closet and 2 drawers open for him to use. I've been rearranging the craft room to accomodate extra guests during the wedding festivities. I've found projects that I started and have no idea what they were to be.

I've also been hard at work finishing up wedding favors and things. The end total count of favors is 90 jars of Harvest Apple Spread. 'Cause it has honey in it and I can call it whatever I want.









And all the while wearing my wedding shoes while doing laundry.

Little bit at a time...

I'm working on things, a little bit at a time. That way it doesn't seem so overwhelming! Right?

Tonight I have addressed half of the invitation envelopes. Only 2 had to be rewritten, which I felt was good. They aren't all perfect, but neither am I. Minor flaws I blame on a fountain pen blob (which is caused by the scribe, but we won't tell people that).

I also made 20 jars of jelly over the weekend! A good start indeed! They are very nice looking. But I bought the only jars of that type to be had in town, so I ordered more in bulk from the maker. Oh, and I haven't tasted it yet....
And then I also plied 278 yards of Finn/Corridale mix. The colorway is Parkland and it is a nice purple/white. It's about a fingering weight. I haven't checked the WPI yet, as it's drying. I had mistakenly plied in the wrong direction. So I had to run it back through again, and faster to make it more twisty. I finally used the turbo setting on my wheel. It set up an impressive breeze...

So, parts have been done. A little bit at a time...

Busy

I'm busy. Work is crazy, house is crazy and extra-curricular are crazy. And I'm trying to plan a wedding. Who knew so much hassle went into to it? Making favors for the wedding... Guests are coming, the lawn needs maintenance, I need to make a dump run, my neighbor is cutting down a tree.

The cat needs to visit her new babysitter before my trip to Germany. O, and I have to plan for the trip to Germany too. Get the house ready for being a rental and slowly packing stuff away.

So many things to do on top of daily chores.

Screw it, I think I'll knit tonight.
