No Stitch Wednesday yet. I think the way to get it started will be to hold it at my house and send invitations out. Real simple ones. Left in their doors. *chuckle. I am thinking along the lines of, "Craft Night. Bring your craft and some drinks to enjoy." Then the date, time, blah blah. I keep talking with the other girls , with them saying how we should be getting our nights going. What better way then to get it rolling, eh?
I need to update, for future reference "Chiblums". This refers to the three kids I am watching over the summer in addition to my own two. Odd though, they all even like the name. Almost makes them a club I think. So some weeks I have 5, others I have four. So I have been rather busy this summer. Most days I try to take them to a local swimming place, not really the coastline beach, though I still refer to it as such. It has a sandy area, swimming, picnic areas, and so on.... I pack a cooler and let the Chiblums exhaust themselves. *grin
I have managed many rows on a mini blanket for my daughter S. I bought this yarn at least a year ago because of the color (yup, purple, who knew!) and how soft it was. OOoooh so soft. The set back was that it has this sort of ripply texture to it. Not twisted, more of crinkled I think. Well, I had tried to get it started with no project in mind over and over again a few weeks, maybe months back. The knit monsters were definitely against me. Then I sat down the other day after the Chiblums left and started it. I wasn't getting all tangled in it or anything this time. So I rolled with it. My daughter came out admiring it and asking what I was making it into. Then I asked her if her Webkinz would like it. She giggled and said "Yes". I told her it will be simple, soft and homemade. She said her Webkinz like things that way.
The Chiblums have been gone two days now and I have had some alone time with the my son and daughter since Wednesday. They seem to be enjoying it. I have too. We visited my Mother-In-Law, Sister-In-Law and her two girls today. I haven't seen the baby since she was born. She's 9 months old now! Yikes!
Tomorrow the kids -B., S., and I will be off to see my Grammy. We plan to go out to have some seafood in Old Orchard. We already argued about who was paying. So I 'd better have all the money out and in my hand when we order.
Then on Saturday we go as a family to Funtown/Splashtown USA for hubby's employer's annual picnic. The year they decided to pay our way in, but we are on our own for food. Grrr. Better eat before we get there!
