Ok, so today did not start too well. I got up with the baby and had one of those terrible, skull crushing sinus headaches that was so bad I could not keep my eyes open. I ended up putting baby in her rolling chair with come cheerios to munch on, putting one hand on the chair and peeking at her intermittently through squinty eyes while I waited for either the excedrine, the caffeine and or the sinus pressure medicine to kick in. Throughout this, there was a guy right outside with a chainsaw trimming a GIANT tree we have in front of the house. The noise was not helping, but the tree looks really good now, and potentially we could build a 2 story treehouse in it.
I was rescued by my mother in law who had just come in from her knitting class, and she sent me up to bed with ice packs to put on my sinuses. It worked! I'd never done that before. Anyway, I was able to get back up after 2 hours, drive to get my older child and start watching the baby again. Crisis averted.
Spent this evening watching
The King's Speech, which is essentially a story about courage. It was very good. I sat through the entire movie, stringing some very tricky little ribbon through the Michaela scarf that I keep talking about. The project is now at about 90% completion and I have a sneak peak photo.
It's hard to see the sparkle of the moonlight mohair yarn in this pic and it does not show the laciness of the ribbon well, but gives an idea of the stage we are in the process. :)
Hope you all are out there happily crafting, or sleeping at this hour.
