A blog about my life, my fiber arts and pictures of my finished work. I will also throw in the very occasional recipe or shopping tip.

Whiney Mommy
Just because I am tired does not mean that I am going to stop organizing and trying to complete the Zenning project that I started yesterday. Yesterday I took all my weaving yarn and separated the warping and weft yarns to make it faster to start new projects.
Yes I am going to whine. Whine. Whine. Whine. Now off I go to clean for a while. Maybe not as long as planed, but I had really planned a movie day, so what does it matter.

Surprise!!!!
Today Eric has me up at 5:30am. What else was there to do but clean the craft room. So I finished winding so yarn and the went on to try to organize some craft bags. I put all the weaving projects together in on bag. Then it was time to organize the UFO’s of knitting projects. I found a lot of lace and sock weight yarn projects which were put in to a project bag together. I also found 2 more hats in progress, in separate knitting bags, which explains the shortage of 16 inch circular knitting needles earlier this year. The yarn has the equivalent of at least 5 more hats. So instead of sixty hats it looks like it’s going to be more like seventy hats or 6 dozen hats with the yarn currently in my hat knitting bags.
I really think that I need to trim that down to just one bag with hat knitting supplies instead of 3. In some cases I think 1 is better than 3. So the Zenning of the craft room continues.

Bits and Pieces
I was too tired to shop for clothes so I went grocery shopping instead. I managed to save about 30% of the total bill with coupons. The bad news is that I ran out of time to get everything out of the van and still eat lunch before I had to pick up Eric. So I put the perishables up front and everything else in the rear hatch area. Yes, the Popsicle's made it into the freezer before they melted. Eric was picked up on time.. Eric then supervised the unloading of the van. John got home just in time to help. As of now not everything is put away yet.
Eric had a bit of a rough day. We managed to catch everything before he went full eyrpy. He is ow on pedilyte and I will go to sleep when he gets to about 30 mls per hour. He will be home with me tomorrow. Hopefully he will be up to a car ride and my physical therapy secession. I know they say no kids allowed, but he is older than some of the staff so I am going to bring him along.

Purging and Shopping
I went through another section of my closet today and went through all my tank top. 4 made it to the Goodwill box and I put a few on probation. When the probationary one get to big they will go to goodwill too. I will go through other areas in coming days
This has lead to some areas of my closet with not enough selection for more than a few days between washing clothes. I have not lost enough inches to go to the next size down in my closet. That will take 2 to 4 more inches off my waistline. I have only managed to get 4 inches off my waistline since June 6th. So I went shopping today. I must have hit the sales just right. I got 1 long cotton skirt, 1 long sleeve top, 1 light cover up and 8 tank tops for $100. They also threw in all the hangers too. So all I need now are pants and skirts. My well deserved Ganga* for the day.also I did not have to go to the plus sizes for anything.
If you think. my day could not have gotten any better. Care stopped by and helped with my personal de stash. She left with 1 bag of yarn to make blankets for foster babies.. and another bag to make gifts for her “step kids”. John was very happy. I also finished hat number 48. Eric is asleep so it’s time for me to go to sleep. Night all.
*Ganga is Tucson speak for a great deal.
