Yarnification

Well, I haven’t felt like I’ve had much to say about my projects the past few days since I’ve been working on the wine & roses afghan to the exclusion of everything else since I finished the belt. I’m also woefully behind on my blog subscriptions. The new Crochetville board is such a joy to use that I’ve been spending most of my online time there since it opened up.

I’ve also been feeling a little run-down, sleeping more than usual and struggling to get my work done, so I’ve been feeling a little rushed and behind on things in general. (Well, more so than usual, that is.) I’m on the mend now, though, and with any luck my energy level will be back to normal before long.

But I thought I’d drop in here and post this. Check it out, I’ve won a Major Award! (Well, not that kind, but I couldn’t resist the link.)

I won this through some drawing I entered. It’s got all these adorably girly tools. When I started going through it I immediately squealed, “Oh, how cute!” to which Don replied, “Yeah, that’s the first thing I look for in a hammer.” There’s a tape measure, a hammer, a screwdriver (with two sizes of standard heads, two sizes of Phillips heads, and two nut driver sizes), a level with a detachable mini-level in it, a bag of assorted hardware (mostly of the picture-hanging variety), and an 84-page booklet on simple home repair for soft flowers such as myself. (Remind me to tell you all the “soft like a flower” story sometime. In retrospect it’s pretty funny, though at the time it was the closest I ever came to actually murdering a customer during all my years in retail.)

There’s also that cute little zippered bag, which I’m probably going to use to tote my smaller crochet projects around/keep the cats out my projects seeing as it’s a touch classier than a grocery sack.
