HelloYarn!


HelloYarn, originally uploaded by That Bohemian Chick.

This came in the mail today. It's sport weight merino 8oz worth.

I'm having project attention deficit disorder (PADD). I don't know if anyone has coined this term but if they haven't, I am.

PADD: the inability to finish a project due to new materials acquired.

I've got it bad!!

Sock Frenzy


Sock-Frenzy, originally uploaded by That Bohemian Chick.

I am on a sock frenzy this new year. I've just started some toe up socks in the wonderful Lorna's Laces (gold hills) I won in Chic Knits world series contest. I've never done toe up socks and I'm really liking it. It's going amazingly fast especially using the 'magic loop' method. I also just picked up some Cherry Tree Hill 'Birches' for my next pair. (shhh don't tell Troy)

And to think I could be doing other very productive things with my time....

I guess I'm it...

Mrs. B from Mrs. B in Paris meme'd me. She wants to know all my bad habits AND she wants me to share them with the world.... Well here you are:

1) When I brush my teeth I HAVE to keep the faucet running. The sound of someone (even myself) brushing their teeth makes me want to vomit. Sad I know.. But hey, I recycle...

2) I'm a bit of a procastinator, if you don't believe me, check my blog post record as of late.

3) When knitting, if I have an itch on my head, I use one the the needles I'm using to itch it.

4) I am a compulsive turn signal user (blinker to some of you). It bothers me when others don't use it and you'll have to break my arm to get me from using it.

5) I always keep my nails trimmed short. Since massage school, I can't stand if my nails reach beyond the finger tip. I find very long nails disgusting...stuff can live under there people!

6) Whenever opening a new container of peanut butter, sour cream, yogurt etc., I have to "marr" the surface even if I'm not planning on using it at that time.

7) I have a thing for high end comfort shoes: Dansko, Birkenstock, Keen's

8) I have a weakness for sweets and will blow a diet over a mini-cupcake.

9) I have long curly-ish thick hair and I only wash it 2x per week.

10) I have a tendancy to jump into things only to regret it soon after.

Well there you have it, 10 horrible habits.

And who will I tag.....Ali (Shadows and Light), Troy (Robotic Pancake), M'Ellen (the Good Life), & Stephanie (Random Ramblings), and Shmoo (Shmoo Blog)

Sorry I haven't blogged in a while. Being back in school, caring for the household, and homeschooling the kids has kept me aweful busy. Not really a good excuse but the truth. I will be posting again tomorrow...really....for real. I mean it!

p.s. Thanks Mrs. B for getting me to post

You are a Rose:

You are creative, sensual, passionate, and bold.
You pour your heart into everything that you
do. Alluring and gifted with strong sex appeal,
you very easily draw people in with your animal
magnetism.

Symbolsim: The rose has always been a flower
heavily loaded with symbolism. In general it
symbolizes desire, passion, beauty, and
enchantment.
