this has gone far enough

tomorrow is my last day working at the scene shop. and i think that i'm glad. i have really been missing my time alone in the morning, not to mention my free fridays. but just when i thought i could relax back into the old routine, someone in my office decides to take next week off. so i'm working full time once again. DAMN YOUSE!!!!!!!!!

since i am woefully behind in my blogging, i will simply say that you haven't missed much. i haven't done anything. except for this:



some lovely new pajamas for a little birthday girl. here she is:



well...that's a good representation of what we saw of her, anyway. what can i say...the girl loves to party.

other than that, i have been sleeping and dreaming up projects for the free time that i know is just around the corner. i have big plans for our new bedroom, and a fresh quilt to go with it. (after cutting 1800 silk shingles without stabbing someone in the throat, i am fairly certain that i have the patience to attempt a quilt)

also, an amazing little package found its way to my doorstep this week. check out the goods:



oh my! my lace swap pal must really love me! not one, but TWO 1260 yard balls of jaggerspun zephyr wool-silk from sarah's yarns in teal and lady slipper, PLUS a ton of sample cards and the pattern for a shawl! PLUS, there is still another package on its way, direct from my pal, who has still not revealed herself. i am beside myself. this is just so generous. so thank you, sweet pal, whoever you are!

that's all for now. i am so excited for the three-day weekend. i am hoping to have nothing to do on sunday and monday, and hopefully that will give me time to catch up on housework, knitting, cleaning, purging and planning the new bedroom. one can hope.
