The "PLAN"

The plan for today was
1) eat
2) shower
3) laundry
4) sit on the dwck reading

HOWEVER!!!

Mother Nature decided to water the lawn. Sometimes a gentle soaking rain & sometimes a Massive Downpour,  complete with THUNDER

So, now I sit in my room & read while laundry runs it's course

YIPPEE!!

yarn arrived so I can finish the bag
:-D

Too tired to knit
:-(

1 SKEIN

29 1/2 rows

BRONCHITIS

I think of bronchitis as a winter illness.
WRONG!
went to immediate care 'cause I felt like I was coughing my lungs out

I'm not barking as much today!

Progress on May Flowers bag

Row 20 of 55

Beads are strung for April Showers Bag

SUCCESS!!!

Now to finish. Add beads & zipper

another bag

i was working on this bag - i ran out of yarn
Michael's May or May NOT be able to get more
i need ONE skein to finish

i considered using a different color for the trim OR another yarn - not feeling either choice. PLUS there could be compatability issues with a different yarn
so now ... it's a waiting game until i can get ONE skein

UPDATE on the "OTHER" bag

trying to recreate this bag

so far, i haven't gotten vary far

 

FELTING AGAIN!!

I let the bag spin during felting.
 :(
i SHOULD have stopped it & started over. it BUGS me that i can see SSOO much stitch definition
NANCY said to soak it in the kitchen sink in cold water w 1/2 cup white cider vinegar. STRETCH it & then, felt it again!
HOPE IT WORKS!!
