02/07/2005 Entry: "Crossing Off"

I used to make a schedule for myself when I was 14. It was ridiculously planned in the morning: shower: 15 minutes, lotion: 5 minutes, curl bangs: 20 minutes. On the other hand, my focus would peeter off as I scheduled the evening. 6 til I'm tired: homework. The list would be on my nightstand in the morning, and I would cross things off as they got completed. If I hit the snooze button and started 15 minutes too late, the list would get thrown away, abandoned to the whims of fortune.

Yesterday, I posted a list of things to do today. I said that I would post after noon. Two notes: That's noon CENTRAL time, and I didn't say HOW SOON after noon. :-) So it's 2:15 here and I can start crossing off some of the stuff I said I'd do yesterday.

1. Heather yesterday looked much as it did in the link below, which I will link again for easy reference. Today, well, Heather had massive surgery today. So in the spirit of The Surgery Channel, I present Heather with her guts lying out all over the table.

I swear! It's all in the spirit of blogland's February fixin' fixation! She'll be back and better than ever before the end of the month. Ok, so by next winter for sure. Promise.

2. Farmer's Market Bag is definitely in the home stretch. I do have a big problem with it though.
Please don't judge on the horrible photography. Should I undo the red or do the rest of the bag with the red "hi-lites?" That is the question before the committee.

My roommate likes the red just fine, but then she's nuts about red. I don't know, I just feel like it's not subtle enough for the rest of the bag. Man, I have a lot to learn about color.

3. Ok, this is all I can cross off in one day. See what I mean? I love lists, I just stink at keeping them.
One of the new projects in the hopper is the Magknits Sophie Bag. All of the seminary knitters are goin' apey over this bag. The VP of student affairs (one of those types who loves to organize social activities) found a bunch of remaindered/discounted Cascade 220 somewhere ( I KNOW, I'm jealous too) and is encouraging a massive seminary-wide knitalong. Cause I refuse to run with the pack, I got my own Peace Fleece in blue (and one in pink if this works out) for the project. I finally got it felted.

Never felt in front loading washers! It doesn't matter that I get to do my laundry here for free (great luxury!!), it took 5 hot loads and a half an hour of hand felting and I can still see the damned stitches. But it's good enough for gov-ment work. This has taught me to felt at HOME in the top-loader, even if I have to wait months to do it!

More crossing off of the "to-do" list tomorrow.
