Jewel tones

I like all colors, I really don't think there are any that I don't care for. Among my favorites are the warm tones of fall. The reds, golds, and yellows that are starting to show up here in Alaska. I also love the cool blues and greens of our oceans, lakes, rivers, and seas. The bright pinks and purples of little girl clothes make me smile. But my all time favorites have got to be jewel tones. 

I've been making things for other people for so long that I decided I wanted to make a new throw for me based off the larksfoot stitch. It's working up so fast and I'm loving the way the colors are coming together. I've received a lot of compliments and even have a potential order to make an afghan for someone else.

On a side note, I had another order for little girl maryjane slippers which have been finished and delivered. I love that she keeps ordering more, but the color combinations she chooses really hurt my eyes!

Meltdown Mayhem

There's really nothing like being at the library with the kids and one of them deciding to throw a screaming, raging fit! Yesterday it was my son, today it was my youngest. Can you say "headache"? I've got a massive one, the kind you can feel every time you change expression. The kind that wraps around the top of your head and down the neck into the shoulders.

Lol, if I could afford it I'd go spend a day at the spa and let someone else do all the work for the day. Sadly, it's not going to happen anytime soon.
