pack them already!!!

i've not posted my soldier socks.. i am a poor contributor this year - b this time last year i'd sent in 4 pairs! I am going to make that the work of the day tomorrow.. mark my words...

i've spent the last few days trying to cull through stash yarn, donate what is acceptable, trash what is ugly and lump together birds of a feather. I have a ton of feltable yarn and need to make some of the bags i have drooled over a reality.. ya think?? I love a good knitted bag. something about toting your ... um.. stuff around in something you've made...

I've also worked on the "hoarding site" that is my basement. getting there .. yes .. getting there..

I posted three more hats to the hairless one... i am guessing that by today she's received them. I found a rayon/cotton blend in my stash today that i probably would not make a garment out of, but i would make a hat... LOL

i also found some drop dead gorgeous specimens of yarn and WHAT am i waiting for you might ask??? well there you go.. i love it so much i can't decide on making something. Although i will tell you i have enough to make some outstanding shawls if i would only put my head to it..

speaking of.. Jared Flood aka BrooklynTweed has a lovely kerchief/shawlette on his blog HERE that you should might want to see.. i know it is simple, but it is just simply lovely... i am not savvy enough with increases to chance that i can do this without instruction, but will post this on a back burner and work on it some day.

The whole "cull and trash" business has me in a sixes and sevens mood.... there are always surprises in boxes that are tucked away.... and what you throw away is not the person.. just the things.. but it is hard none-the-less.

New Music? Ahh probably not new to anyone but me, but i have taken a liking to this by Colbie Calliat - some folks are not so much fans... but then don't click okay? I miss everything about you... after all the things we've been through ... i miss everything about you... as someone said about me.. there she goes the "sad song queen"...

i am waiting patiently (not) for Strike Back.. which is so not like something i would normally choose - action hero be damned.. i like the idea of the "flawed hero..." but then ... again... aren't they all?

someday all this writing will go somewhere.. this.. the longhand writing with the fountain pen... all flawed heroes and villains in stories ...

ah... we need a quote don't we..... obscure or obvious? let's do obvious...

...I understand you completely!...
