There is a pleasant breeze blowing today, and though it is warm, it is not anywhere near hot.
I'm picking cherry tomatoes like crazy and cannot keep up with them. I just trotted a big bag of them to my neighbor who was as happy to have them as I was to be rid of them. She is hosting a bridal shower tomorrow and will put them out for the luncheon.
I am in a furniture moving frenzy these last couple of weeks. I don't know what has gotten into me. Just today I had the brainy idea to find a way to put a window seat in my kitchen. I just spent some time pouring over the IKEA catalog, looking for some likely things to put there. I'm on a quest. If I was not afraid of the table saw, I would make my own. But as it is, I will have to cobble something together. And true to my nature, the less money I spend, the happier I'll be.
I went for the first time last night to a meeting of the local knitting guild. It was a total hoot. There were about 40? (I should have counted) people there. All women, with one exception. An older man who was a regular. He was working on a knitted lace tablecloth on circular needles. He was from Australia.
Anyway, everyone was extremely welcoming and friendly. Each one shared what they were working on or had finished since the last month's meeting. I was in awe. Women were helping each other with their projects, and tricks of the trade were flying all over the place. I was just loving it.
The membership is only 15 dollars a year, so next meeting I am joining. I will start looking for a good cardigan pattern and throw myself on the mercy of the group to find a mentor to help me learn to read those patterns! Ack! They intimidate me to no end.
They also have four different charity knitting divisions to get involved in, so I am reading to dive into that also. It was a great boost to be with all these people of like interest. They even have one learning class a month, and they are planning a field trip to see some famous knitter give a seminar next month. I may not join that particular trip, but I would love to do that kind of thing with other people. Something I would never do alone, but in a group, heck yeah!
Anyhoo.... that's the latest.
Is anyone else not getting notifies????
Or is it just me?
