"A"--------Ahhhhhhhhhhh

Today, the first day of school for many in Wisconsin, brings back many memories. Smells mostly for me, oh yeah, the new school supplies, I still love to get a new pen, or begin a new notebook, and now new craft supplies and tools also give me the calm feeling-- Ahhhhh-- that the fresh new beginning of the new school year brings.


I have a few Ahhhhs today, I finished up some projects and feel Ahhhh that they are no longer looming in my craft room, (or dining room) or in my mind, as I begin my project for the OWL SWAP hosted by the ever talented Missy Balance at Crafty Carnival. Also Christmas projects in the works as well as a few gifts, and a number of other obligations.

What a weekend it was!

So, my little girls are silly tired, and I feel a bit tired also. We got home last night from a visit with Grandma for two nights and it will take a week to straighten everyone out. But we'll manage. The photo on the bottom is Jurnee with her favorite cousin Ali. Even with a 2.5 year age difference they seem to play so nicely together. It was great fun to watch them giggle, and who would have thought my 4.5 year old would stay up later than me on a Friday night?

Also, I guess I am indeed rippling along. I needed something to do with my hands on Friday morning, and I took it with me, and just didn't want to put the thing down. I found the pattern here, and decided to use some of the yarn I inherited from my no-longer crocheting Grandma. It is the 4ply worsted acrylic, but I cannot wait to get my hands on some really soft stuff for the next one, listen to me, I have only a million things going on here. I plan to paint my kitchen before Rusty gets home too, so yes, I better get to bed early.
