11;a work in progress
On the 11th, this was what I was working on. Willow in eggplant. It’s done now. It’s gorgeous. SO beautiful, my mom has requested she receive one of these in the same color, ASAP.
12;a crafty gift
a few things picked out by my son for his teacher. I wrapped them up for him.
13;inspiration indoors
Oh how I love the juxtaposition of metal, wood, and lace. This framed doily is one of my favorites. It’s got a hole in it I mended with some contrasting thread. I just couldn’t leave it alone. Also- I need to dust.
14;where I craft
I sit on that yellow chair to knit or crochet. This is my yarn corner. You can sort of make out my winder attached to the little table. It’s an orderly mess. I can get through it most days and I don’t see how it can be tidier. I go through the yarn pretty quick and then it just gets replaced.

“unfinished” by Mineral
The husband leaves for Las Vegas on Saturday, so I’m feeling the blues creeping up. I’m trying to distract myself with various projects, but it’s tough.
About the only thing I’m looking forward to while he’s gone is the evening routine. I KNOW. That sounds weird and awful to do alone, but my boys (especially the little one) listen to me more when dad’s away. I guess having daddy downstairs always tempts them to come down and run crazy all evening. While J is away, I will set them up in bed by 8 and have the evening to myself. I’m planning on cleaning, catching up on Supernatural*, organizing my yarn, and knitting/crocheting. Or maybe I’ll just sleep.
*The past two months, I’ve jetted through the first few seasons and am now kind of addicted. I stay up way too late and may or may not have sobbed for a good 15 minutes after one particularly grueling season finale. How lame do I feel admitting that? Not at all. This show is iiiiintense.

fever: My sweet little guy woke up around 12:30 am the other night– “there’s something in my rooooom!” I was asleep, but daddy was not, so Andrew ended up in bed with me. The next 5 hours were kind of a blur. See, earlier that night he had a fever. No other symptoms, really, but he was warm. I expected him to fall back asleep, but instead of a blissful slumber with a warm cuddly bear, we pretty much talked all night. Every little shadow he saw, he thought was SOMETHING–kitties, owls, scary ladies, and finally at 4am he declared the shadows were turning daddy GREEN. I assured him daddy was NOT green and that HE wouldn’t turn green if he fell asleep. I could see him drifting in and out, but he wouldn’t just STAY asleep. At least not until around 5:30. I promptly fell asleep after I was sure he was out only to be woken up an hour and a half later to get my oldest ready for school. After sending him and Jason off, I napped with Andy until about NOON. It definitely threw me off, but he was feeling better and there was no pesky fever. Whew!
style: He went out with my mom, this afternoon. He wanted to wear his “doctor shirt” (omgosh) and blue jeans. then, when we put on his brown boots and jacket, he noticed the brown hat hanging by the front door. Voila! We have an adorable outfit.
hat: $4 clearance at Kohl’s (score!) / shirt: Kohl’s / jacket: thrifted / pants (not shown): Nate’s old Levi’s blue jeans
