Today I created my very first schematic using Marnie's fantastic tutorial. Yesterday I worked on a new section for pixiepurls.com (not live yet, just did some rough compositions in fireworks). I also am only 1/2 an inch from being done with the top for BG's Halloween costume. Lots of knitting related things going on here. I even have fantastic final photos of the Fruit Loop pattern but I am not allowed to post them until you guys can get the pattern. Right now I am just waiting on my very wonderful tech editor who has been very patient with my "new to pattern writting" crazy self!

This summer has seen lots of rain here in Georgia. This is a good thing but the heat these storms bring before them has been pretty rough. Our poor little air conditioner can't keep up. Oh that reminds me, today I hosted a "sewing" party at my house. Guess who showed up? The president of the Peacthree Handspinners Guild (Jen!). How lucky did I get? She taught me how to sew and create gathering for a really cute apron pattern I had stashed. All sorts of other lovely ladies showed up (Tammy, Amanda, Ann) a few of us sewed while the rest knit. The husbeast even took BG for 2 hours so I was free to *really* sew.

This weekend is really turning out fantastic. Tomorrow we go to see Batman (first movie with my husband in nearly a year!) while BG stays at her first ever "babysitter" (a friend I've known a long time who has 6 month old twins and loads of toys for her to play with). I'll have an "11 months" entry not to many days from now, and I really hope a finished Fruit Loop for sale! Here comes the thunder, I better put the computer up.
