Slowly Coming Back

So I am in PT for my elbow but I have been given the OK to knit for a small amount of time at night. Not being able to knit for a week really made me re-evaluate my projects and gave me the inspiration to finish what I have started.

I have 1 side of Josephine sewn and ready to tackle the other side tonight. I am going to try and remain faithful to one project at a time and get each of them finished up. After this...most likely the socks. I may cheat alittle and crochet some squares but don't tell anyone.

Unusual Morning

This was what I was so lucky to drive behind this morning...

Does Fiona know he rides without a helmet?

no surprise here

4 As a 1930s wife, I am Very Poor (Failure) Take the test!

Shocker! I swear, drink, gamble and gossip. Maybe I would be a better cigarette girl that a 1930's wife.

Here we go again...

So I bought a book on crochet a couple of days ago. More speccifically- Granny squares. I have had a secret dream to crochet a granny square blanket. I gave it a try last night and not only is it better on my elbow but it isn't really too hard. So guess what is in my car right now?

6 skeins of acrylic ready to become a blanket. I had planned to use scraps but decided on a more uniform color scheme. And acrylic?! Easy to wash and cheap for my first try. Another crafting hobby added to the list.

Tennis Elbow

Just as my mojo was getting into full swing, the Dr. tells me I have tennis elbow. It has been hurting off and on for about 3 weeks and I thought it was just a pulled muscle. I have to wear a brace now. Luckily it is my left elbow and I am right handed but kniiting is hard. Hubby thought this might be a good time to learn to crochet so tomorrow I am going to buy Happy Hooker and see how that goes. Necessity is the mother of invention so I fill figure out something.

Retro food for thought

Ok. I'll admit it. Last night I watched Swingtown. Swingers, 1970's, Drugs. It was all there but there are 2 things that really stood out to me.

1) Pudding Paks- I totally forgot about pudding in a can and even though they only showed that for 2 seconds, I talked to my hisband about them for the rest of the show. I had them in my lunches all the time. Funny how stuff like that just pops back into your memory.

2) I want this haircut!

...and I'm Back

it took me a few days to get readjusted to life after the VIP weekend. I slept for 11 hours on Sunday. I have been knitting and am nearly done with the Ballband bag. What a quick knit!

My sock mojo has found itself again and I have been knitting those alot this week.

Josephine is knit and waiting to be blocked. I can't decide whether or not to shell out the $80 for a board of it I should just make one.

This weekend I have a grade school reunion. I went to Catholic school and spent 1st -8th grade with basically the same 25 people. I have to say I am much more excited about seeing them again than anyone from high school. Teachers are going to be there too so it should be great!
