the last month or so has been CRAZY

i had the Felted Flock

Gracie decided she liked the piggy

all four of them went back to Peru with the Kids

bought a book for a book swap

the same day i bought groceries

lost the book

a few days later, found the book in the

fridge with the groceries

some swap packages were in the trunk

some in the car

some got moved from one place to another

the bag for Spring Felted Exchange & ITE 4

were 80% assembled

the goodies & the unfinished bags were put

with the mailing envelope

the plan was to take them to Atlanta to finish

then to mail

since other envelopes were sealed to be mailed

they got sealed & mailed as well

Tiff came down from Chicago

and was an MAJOR help

from swaps

they got packed up as well

i still have bruises up & down my legs

i can finally (after a week) knit sox again
