Jo Knits!

07.31

It's Brenda's birthday today, so please drop by her blog and leave her a note. I love birthdays and wish everyone enjoys them as much as I do! :) Here, grab a cupcake on your way to her blog!

Be careful what you wish for.... As annoying as that saying is, things that you wish do come true from time to time. LOL! So Brenda use your wish wisely! ;)

Yesterday I had a great time ending two projects! The handles for Daypack and Suki are done and both bags are ready to hop into the washing machine. :) The kids played all afternoon in the backyard and I was knitting with my two feet in the chilly water of their kiddie pool. LOL! They thought I was so funny. ;) Zoe insisted I needed to wear my bathing suit even just to put my feet in the pool but I won, I did promise her to wear my suit everyday on our holidays! At least I'll be wearing in front of people other than my neighbours! ;)

I've said this many times already but I am eager to check out the new Interweave Knits issue, sure I want to see what Veronik Avery's design will be about. Hey! It's always good to root for a new friend! :) I did find a sneek peak of the issue here: Fall 2003 Projects, don't you just love the Tipsy Sailor sweater and hat (at the very buttom of the page), pretty neat, hun? :) Of course I actually love those hats and could care less about hat hair in the winter, also the sweater is pretty cute, I'd go with blues or reds! ;) She also has another pattern in this issue but not my style. I'm too non-stylish to wear a Chinchilla Capelet. LOL! Just wouldn't go well with my old jeans and t-shirt! ;)

I'm starting to stress about what yarn to bring on our vacation, I don't know what project would go well with being knit on the beach. It will be my first on the road knitting project, never did vacation knitting before. Carl has been warned that he will be playng with the kids TONS and I will relax for once! Hey, it's a family camp, activities, crafting mornings and all that jazz, beach and big bon fires at night, those are our vacations. Very CHEAP vacations might I add, that's the oh so lucky bonus. We are only paying 10% of what this place costs, other people going there will pay the full price, we got a special deal with the kids daycare. The camp 'sponsors' a few organizations to make the place available to those who wouldn't never get to go. We were lucky enough to be one of the families to go this year. I'm on the daycare's administration board, I'm even the vice-president! WOOHOO! Nothing like having a title to your name to make a day brighter! LOL! So...... I'm nervous, excited, getting all busy trying to get everything done by the time we leave in 10 days. Thing is we need to have some things already 'shipped' there because our transportation to the camp will have minimal space for our stuff. So now I need to have to bulk of your clothes, sleeping gears, dry food ready by monday morning! ACK! I'm freaking out, Carl can't help he's either working, sleeping and by tomorrow out of the province! LOL!

Expect more and more flipping out entries until I leave! ;)

hugs, hey it's payday!!!
