I like Wednesday. It is the day I work 4 hours and leave. Yeah!!!
Driving down the driveway I saw an Opossum walking across the driveway. Right in my path. I slammed on the brakes and brought the Toyota Tundra to a halt. As I was probably right on top of the little ugly guy I put it in reverse to see if I had missed him. I laughed out loud. It was laying on it’s side as if it were dead! Too funny. Well I could tell it wasn’t going to go anywhere so I drove over the top of him. Checked the mirror to make sure I hadn’t run him over. He looked fine and I continued my way home.
Sunday I went with Natalie and made Glass beads. Warning possibalities of a new hobby. It was fun. I made 5 beads. My first one broke in half. I was too thin in the middle. I had flattened it out so that is was oval. But playing with fire and glass was a lot of fun. We were talking about buying some purple and pink glass for the next time everyone gets together to make beads again. Purple glass is rather expensive compared to the other colors.
The shapes are a little interesting and the edges need to be filed down a little. But they look like beads. I’ll have to take some pictures.
We went over to a very nice lady’s house in Albany, NY. I had made 3 beads on my first try and said I was fine and did not want to make any more. She let me know that I had to make a total of 4 beads or I couldn’t leave. That became my joke of the night. “You have to make at least 4 beads or she won’t let you go home.” I did have fun though. I’m going to have to see if the library has glass bead making books and check some out.
And we got to go to Starbucks on the way home. I’m glad I went with Nat, she really wanted to go and would have had to go alone. I missed seeing the Dayton 500 but it was well worth it. I had fun.
While there the bead making turned into knitting! I’m almost done with my cowl. I probably should be working on it now and just get it off the needles! And in the last couple of days I have done a couple of rows on the sweater. I have knit past all the yarn I had ripped back from so I am now progressing from where I left off! Progress is beautiful.
Well, that’s about it for now. I’m going to continue to munch chocolate, surf the net and nap. Did I mention I love Wednesdays? Because I do.
Happy Knitting! cj
I saw someone doing glass beads on some crafting channel a few years ago and it was all I could do to resist purchasing the bead fixin’s! Such fun!
Bead making sounds like fun!
For a minute, I thought you were reknitting Tom a seed stitch sweater, not cowl. That’s devotion.
