Days fly by, filled with lots to do that just get repeated the very next day starting when my toes touch the floor. Seems redundant to share the daily events. But, there are some new things.
1. My camera memory is filled. This means I need to download pics to the computer.
2. The home computer works very, very slow. I avoid task #1.
3. I knit a "yarn ball", thanks to Just Jessica. Mine was all different colors left over from various projects. In the works is a second yarn ball in red-black-white, for the Bulls. All in the house love it and can be found tossing it around at various times. It is perfect for the over the door basketball hoop.
4. Thanks to Grandma G, I will be making a Tiny Mouse House for Norah's Easter basket. And perhaps one for Simon. I do like my sewing projects to be small and quick! Hopefully "easy" is included in this project.
5. I have decided to crochet me a green newsboy slouchy hat, have the pattern and the yarn ready to go. This yarn is supposed to be an easy shrug. But, a green hat will be more visible at the St. Patty's day parade.
6. I, in the next few weeks, will be testing a pattern. YES, me, testing a crochet designer's and writer's hat pattern. I really, really, liked the hat below, but didn't want to spend $30 on something I could make. I asked if a pattern was available for purchase, a conversation followed, and that's how I became a tester! So excited. She has to yet write it out.
7. AND, in talking with someone at my church's women's retreat, I am now reading "Half the Sky:Turning Oppression Into Opportunity for Women Worldwide". It is a tough book to read. Her church/book club group is now knitting shawls/afghans for this hospital. This woman and I are partnering in making one. She will buy the yarn, and I will make it. I have my ideas as to get her more involved. (She did say that she used to knit and still has some supplies:) If you are interested in joining "Half the Sky Knitting", I am able to provide details.
8. It seems to continue that we cannot enjoy more than 4 days to a week after an antibiotic without getting sick again. This time, Eric has had a fever since Monday with aches, chills, discomfort and now a sore throat. He is on an antibiotic. Kids are fine. I am trying to stay away and quarantine the kids from Daddy. I came home with a level 10 migraine yesterday. Why does the head have to hurt so bad that it convinces the stomach to join in the pain party? It is tough when both parents are under the weather. I was unavailable for a couple of hours, Eric was probably at 50%. Somehow the kids were fed, read to, homework done, and a bit of play before bed. Teeth were brushed and prayers were said. Amazing!
9. It is IEP season, and that being said, more work is to be done than during a typical week. Paperwork is the addition!

What a cute hat you'll be testing!
I'd say small and easy for sure on the mouse house. 'Quick' may depend on your definition... it took longer than I thought it would, but that may be just me... seems I always say that. ;) It took a few hours, anyway.
Sorry to hear about more sickness. Hope the rest of you don't catch it. Migraines are not fun, either! :(
That mouse house is quite possibly the cutest thing ever. I love it.
