The good, the bad & the chicken.

The students are still on break here, so weeding and reports rule the day.
I cheered up my indoor view with some glittering window flowers.

They are getting a lot of smiles from co-workers. Had special delivery today, an item I got on Ebay. I have increased my flock of milk glass chickens. Isn't she a beauty!









I also managed to send off my swap package. With one glitch - the card I had planned to enclose managed to leap out. I will send that on separately & include a bonus gift as well.Oh, here's what the mosaic socks are looking like:

I' m very glad the yarn is not a heavy as it has gotten rather warm. In fact the cat act like she wants to store her fur till fall.

That's all for now. Take care. P.S. The bad new is that I am now facing cataract surgery & getting a crown for a cracked tooth.

It's swapping time again.

It's the quarter break at the college where I work. That means the library is actually quiet.


I am catching up on reports and cataloging. But best part is that with fewer visitors, I can set my own pace.


So in between paper pushing, I'm clean up my office space. Tossing out dated materials, scrubbing down desk & computer surfaces, & hauling home some of the "stuff" that has piled up.The cat has been very entertained by the bags of strange things coming through the door.


I have just signed up for a new swap on Swapbot. This one involves hot beverages and paper napkins. Yes really. It should be fun. I know a great store for unique napkins.


On the needles right now is a pair of socks in a multi colored yarn of purples, greens, & blues. It is knitting up almost mosaic like.


Take Care.

Look what the cat dragged in!

No, I am not gone for good. Unfortunately my dedication to this blog has not been very good.

Since October last year:
I have a new apartment
Went back to WDW
Said farewell to 2 co-workers
Hired 2 new librarians
Presented 2 puppet workshops
Acquired a new computer
Attended 2 seminars
Survived a nasty birthday


All in all rather busy.
On the other hand I have also been very lazy on the knitting front. Only one or two projects finished, several floating in limbo, and others remain only a twinkle in the eye.

So with the steady nudging of the cat herself, I am gearing up again.
