At least until November when I'll try and make some of my other Christmas crafts I have stuffed in my closet.


Now to work on something with a different theme.

The position anyway, especially with only the hint of legs. Hehe. I'm getting close to the end of one of my summer courses. Then I have that blasted 15 page paper to write. Topic is "Women in action/adventure". If anyone would like to fill out a survey I created to help me, please feel free.  This is the link to the survey. Other than that my life is pretty quiet.

I seem to be a bit all over the place this week. Let me walk you through it. Sunday, I have declared this day to be for 'insanity'. I shall try and keep this up.

I also started making half circles on top. It's been so long I forget if I did the original one with a 4.00 or 4.25 hook. I'm using 4.25 this time around but think I may go down. I'm also using two strands so I don't know if it'll really make that much of a difference. We'll see when I pick it up next. I finished my second whirl lapghan. Frogged the outer part as I realized the pattern was written incorrectly and the corners were placed wrong. I finished two pages of Fantasy Triptych, minus special stitches, over ones, and beads.  I picked up Insanity again. A...
