sortin' sequins

This really does calm and relax me. Just get a bag of assorted sequins and go about sorting them. The simple task helps me clear my mind and the colors, shininess and shapes of the sequins give me that “ooooo, preeetty” feeling.

I start a new job soon. New beginnings are always a hopeful time. A little bit scary, but mostly exciting.

Trying to finish up a couple of fun knitting projects before the new gig starts. Next, it’s on to getting more Kitschmas Trees done, and then a couple of scarves and hats. It’s a little difficult to think about cool-weather knitting when it’s been so hot out.

bowl-ed over

bowls

I couldn’t resist these little bowls that were by the checkout at the grocery store. They’re so cute, bright and only $2.50 for the set of four. Then I couldn’t resist my favorite candy bar (Violet Crumble) at the drugstore. Seems like color is my impulse buying trigger right now.

The toy food pattern I’ve been working on will be posted this weekend. Most of my free time has been devoted to working on it the past couple of weeks and it’s left my brain a bit fried. The design process took on a life of its own and has grown into multiple patterns. I think I’ll write up a head-clearing blog entry after the pattern is posted.

I’m going to need to take a knitting break (except for olives) once the pattern is posted. I want a bit of a recharge before I try to tackle the Lelah Top and before I get back on track with knitting more mini Kitschmas Trees. Recipe posts will fill in for knitting posts.
