I had such a great drive in to the office this morning. Bluebonnets are poking up along the highway and the pastures are rich brown and greening up. I love this time of year.

I’m still wondering why I got myself into this whole city council thing, but I’m starting to kind of get into it. I was never very popular or involved in high school and the thought of a bunch of glad handing and public speaking makes me squirm. ick, do people actually enjoy it?

I binded off my Huge Shawl last night and need to add fringe then block.The Henry’s Attic is so luscious.

Need to find the spider…..

I’ve been unearthing old boxes of stuff and came upon this flannel
board story I illustrated during my pre-school teaching years. I
must’ve been in my early twenties. I have not drawn or watercolored a
damn thing since . . . looks like it may have been fun.

I have yet to take a pic of my first attempt at spinning. It’s schlumpy but I like it anyway.

I have decided that I am no good at having multiple projects rolling at once. I have had a sweater, a shawl and some socks on the needles for some time and not one of them is close to finished. So, and I know this sounds CRAZY,  I frogged the socks, since I was so not loving the Lorna’s Laces yarn. There. . . now only 2 projects, which is ideal since one requires a bit of concentration and one I could knit in a coma.

I bought Cables Untangled by Melissa Leapman this weekend. I’ve been wanting it for a while and am looking forward to poring over it with a cup of coffee.

Okay, wanna hear something really funny? I somehow was talked into tossing my name in the ring as a write-in candidiate for city council in my small Texas town. Is this is great country or what?
