Life is returning to managable

Work is slowing down - the external auditors signed off on the financials yesterday which means we can - for the most part - put 2006 behind us. I was starting to feel guilty about not spending my weekends at work - but had reached the point where I needed to be focusing on other things - family and knitting come to mind.

Easter weekend was fun. B and T came home from college which always makes for a lot of fun. My three children have so much fun when they are together - P misses having his brother and sister around. It looks as though neither will be coming home for the summer. T has found a summer job in Portland and B has applied for a position. They are hoping to find an apt together. P is not looking forward to a summer where his parents watchful eyes are focused on him. The market square bag is nearing completion. I am working on the last strap. I have to weave in all the ends then felt and am getting excited to see the final product. Here are a few pictures showing the progress. I just love the colors.

I should have plenty of leftover yarn to make something else - a smaller bag or even a few felted bowls. I will have to look for some patterns.

I need to decide what my next project will be - I am thinking a sweater. It has been awhile because the last sweater I made was with cotton and I should have known better. It is to saggy - I will have to make sure it is wool. I know there is cotton out there that makes for a perfectly good sweater - I just haven't found it yet.

Well time to start my day. I think the forecast is fairly nice (but snow again tomorrow - will it ever act like spring) so I am hoping to run outside today. I am a wimp when it comes to black ice on the roadway. It hurts more now when I slip and fall - must be an age thing.

Enjoy your day everyone.
