Monday, Mondays

The weather around here is iffy. Some days we're in the 30's and other days we're in the 60's. All this wishy-washy weather makes me want to stay inside my warm house and craft. I've had lots of time to piddle around here and think. Here a couple of my random thoughts...indulge me, please.

• As you know, I'm on a sock knitting binge. Ever since I learned how to this them past summer, I've been knitting nothing but. They're fun, addictive and (if you know how the knit and purl stitch) relatively easy. I think next on my list, I'd like to learn how to make these fun felted slippers. They pattern calls for recycling a sweater, so you save on the materials- bonus. :) Sadly, they call for crocheting, so I'll have to hit up my creative sister for a quick lesson.

• Wednesday at 10am I'm getting all four of my wisdom teeth removed. I'm terrified. I've never been 'put under' before. They're prescribing some sort of sedative to take before I come in. I'm also hoping they give me some gas before they insert the IV. I hate needles. I know I'll survive, but the anticipation is killing me. I'd appreciate some prayers to calm my nerves.

• Sometime in between my surgery and Christmas I've got to sew up a pillow. Each year Southern Hubby and I all exchange names with my three sisters for gifts. It started a few years ago when 3 out of 4 of us were in college and without dough. We discovered how much love go into homemade gifts when we each get to use our talents and the tradition stuck. This year I got my youngest sister. I'm making her a pillow. Somehow I'm going to teach myself the 'dresden plate' quilting pattern. Yeah, we'll see how that goes. I'd appreciate some prayers for that one, too.
