Time to catch up

Today I put a place on the sidebar to keep track of the articles that I have made this year. I think it will be fun to keep track of them. So far everything I have made is from stash *S*.

This past weekend we went to my Aunt and Uncle's in Boissevain for a visit and supper. It had been quite awhile since we had seen them so that was nice. The weather co-operated and we had a good trip both there and home. In the past it always seems like we have driven home from their house in a storm.

Gary has been tossing around the idea of getting a laptop computer. His computer really has been giving him some trouble for awhile now. He loaded his tax program on it the other day and he can only do a couple of things, then it freezes and he has to reboot and start again so very frustrating. So last night he bit the bullet and ordered one from Dell and now to wait for it to get here.

Today I am putting a money order in the mail to order two sock knitting books. There has been much talk about them on a yahoo group I belong to and I finally had to give in and order. The title is Friendly Socks 1 & 2, and one thing that is kind of neat about them is that there will be patterns published in them of people that I have gotten to know through the list.

Last night I got my Mystery Felted Purse knit up to the end of the last instructions we have so I am waiting on the next installment. I am pretty happy with the way it is turning out. I have a pattern for Mystery Socks that I want to start too, but do have to cast on Gary's Christmas socks first I think.

I am really enjoying this feeling of not having a deadline for things that I am making and just being able to thumb through magazines or patterns I have printed and make the things that I have been wanting to try for quite some time.

This weekend Gary and I take our massage class at the local college. I am looking forward to it.*S* It will be Friday night & all day Saturday.
