I continue to be an idiot

Sometimes I wonder how I am even able to function let alone be crafty. Seriously.

I've been working on a newborn set for my new neice who is set to make her appearance in the world in August. We just found out she will be a neice, so I'm using the yarns I got in the magic ball swap for her. A set from LTK, pilot cap, easy peasy cardigan & felted mocs. I did contrasting yarn for the mocs, finished them, threw them in the washer & was putting the final touches on the cardigan. Pulled them out & guess what...come on...you know what's coming...yes, I used leftover SUPERWASH wool yarn. Other than that they felted beautifully. URG!!!!!

I think I'll give them to the parents to be anyway & tell them the real mocs will come later. They are just thrilled to be having a girl so I have to take what I have this weekend. It's the soon to be big brother's 3rd birthday party this weekend. His birthday (today) is the day after mine. Love that!!!

But hey, I get to roll in European wares again soon. We're going Back To Bavaria Baby!!!! It's the Torres European Tour Part Deux!!!

Thrilled & STRESSED

So, guess what, seriously, could be headed back to Germany this summer. It's painfully obvious how much we'd like to be there if you've read other posts of mine (and it's not difficult to go through my archives, there aren't terribly many of them). HOWEVER, I may have to downsize my crafts...fabric, yarn, paper, etc., etc., etc. Oh the pain, oh the agony!! However could I choose what stays & what goes? Why, because most likely we'd be living in housing & it's very, very tiny. It's worth it, I just have to be brave. I just don't see storing it for 3 years.

Otoh, we could end up back in the D.C. area & then it wouldn't matter so much.

Back to downsizing (re: knitting). ;-P
