Various Musings
Today I took my very first culinary class at a local college. I am trying to decide between a degree in Textiles or one in Culinary Arts. I decided to take some classes in both fields. It was very interesting. We even got an assignment! Who would have thought I’d ever get excited about having homework!
Well, I saw on a blog today a little list I found amusing. So I decided I should try this also. But I am too lazy busy to do 100, so I thought I’d go for 10. I know you all are holding your breath (ha ha), but here’s 10 little things about me….
1. I never thought I’d end up as “crunchy” as I’ve become as a mom. I’d have said “cloth diapers, YUCK!”
2. I almost never drink milk.
3. My angel baby, Madaline, will turn 3 heavenly years on the 27th.
4. I would have never been as active on the internet if it hadn’t been for her.
5. I love staying home with my kids, but I fear I’m losing my mind some days.
6. I used to have a pierced tongue and navel!
7. I haven’t had any alcoholic beverage in over 4 years. Being pregnant does that to you.
8. I am astonished everyday by how some moms treat their children.
9. I painted my toenails for the first time in 5 years when my ds got baptized in April.
10. I didn’t learn sew until I got married in 2000.
I also started my Knitting World Cup project! It is very interesting. Much better then the beginner scarf I’ve been working on

for the class I took at String Of Purls. Which I have started over for the second third time. But I am attempting the Tychus for DH’s birthday. I have never attempted short rows nor color changing before. I find it very very exciting.
This magazine to the left is one I ordered last week. I’m very anxious to recieve it. I feel in love with one pattern I saw reviewed on Pattern Review.

Don’t you just LOVE the curve on it. Boys clothing is so very boring, this piece is a welcome change. Can’t wait to try it!

Haha, I found my kids made me crunchier, too. It’s funny the kinds of changes these little guys provoke you to. I love that pattern you are planning to make for your son, it’s so cute.
I sew from Ottobre, you can see some bits and pieces on my blog from them (you can search the site for Ottobre in the sidebar).
I’ve had a subscription for 2 years now and have another year’s magazines that I bought from someone, after a while they seem to run out of ideas for boys but for girls you’re swamped with ideas!
There is a Yahoogroup called something like Ottobre English if you should need help, the directions are a little vague sometimes as they’re translated!
Happy sewing!
