I won a skein of yarn over at Jeanne's blog, from Wandering Cat yarns, which was very exciting. Jeanne has amazing taste in yarn, and anything she likes, I know I will too. I did have a bit of an whoopsy into the Rabbit Hole at Hedgehog Fibers....
FC painted the bedroom- an amazing shade of blue "November Sky" and this made me really happy. I also had a huge clear-out of all the clothes that I don't wear, and the things that don't fit- I honestly don't know why I hang onto some things, it's crazy.
My Fair Isle got to a certain point- and I'm still not happy with the charts- so I think it will be in time out until inspiration strikes- and I hope that it is sometime soon. The crowns make me laugh.
I dug out my Ice Fantasia shawl- and I'm adding tons of sparkly iridescent gray beads- this is magic. Sometimes you need to work on something just because it's pretty.
Other than that, my son has a job lined up for the summer, my daughter is doing great at college, and things are humming along.
Lots to be thankful for, for sure. Have a great week.

Nice looking colour. We too are doing blue.
Hang your knitting up somewhere -- on Fred or Ginger (did Ginger ever get her legs fixed?) and just look at ti when you go by -- something will eventually pop out to you to say either this is good or this is bad....you'll know.
Yeah to the bedroom painting -- we have to do that oo!
Congrats that the kids are doing so well -- you should be proud. (I know you are!)
Love the colour of your bedroom. I really must think about having a clear out too :) Hooray for things humming along and prizes
My room is Victorian Pewter and white..lol...
Hear you about holding on, I still have things from when I was 350+..why..I dunno...
LOVE the FI have been stalking for an update, lol....someday I will make them all.....hmmm..no not Now cheryl
Pretty blue for the bedroom! Serene.
I hope inspiration strikes you soon--it's too pretty a sweater to languish.
And I agree that knitting something just because it is pretty is often necessary!
I totally understand about the knitting something pretty just because you have to. I've decided to take my Serendipity Stole (the Mystery Stole #4 from 2008, I think) out of its mostly-hibernation and finish it. It's green and beaded and pretty. And I need it, you know?
But oh! Hedgehog Fibers? Why did you link that?... Now I must go visit!
And are you healthy now?? More details on the whoopsy, please. ;)
Love the blue! Nice to see someone is doing somethings... productive! Unlike myself :(
in a funk for sure!
I'm just excited to get to work on lace tonight, in fact I'm not sure that I may not implode with excitement.
Sometimes the simplest things can make us so happy.
Congrats on winning lovely yarn from Jeanne! She does have terrific taste.
Nice yarn win, and I do like that lace.

Wow, I don't know, but I really like how the new FI is turning out.
I'm so ashamed of my bedroom. I need a major, MAJOR overhaul in there, and a redecorate.
Very pretty blue - we are painting our bedroom too - so nice to have it be pretty again!
I can't wait to see what you picked for the yarn - you know I always like what you pick!
Beautiful fair isle - I hope it comes out of time out soon!
