So I survived my 3 day weekend in J-ville. It was good for the most part. I managed to see my whole family and since my mom & my sis were never together so there was no major fighting. I got a haircut, did some thrift sto' shopping and got to get a LOT of knitting done.

On the knitting front I finished the bottom of my skull bag. Hopefully I will cast on the handles tonight! I can't wait to felt it!!! Lisa posted about how odd it is to be beyond excitement to work so hard on something so big just to shrink it. My step mom was amazed at that fact as well. Maybe it is because I never got shrinky dinks as a kid. I was so deprived!!

On the thrift store front I got a painting for the thrift store revamp part II.


She is quite lovely and hopefully my partner will do something spectacular with her.

Channon received my "last supper" revamp & said she loves it!! YAY!! I am really glad!

I also bought 2 great crafty books this weekend. I got a copy of vogue knitting from 1972. It has pages & pages of stitches I have never seen & a ton of lace patterns. Amazingly the patterns for the sweaters, bags and bikinis are really cute & I may modify a couple to make them.

I also got the "McCall's big book of childrens art activities" from 1952. It has the COOLEST illustrations & some really awesome ideas! Over 1000 ideas for $.25 !!!

So I am on the fence about which project to start next. The spiderweb capelet from Sn'B nation or the Accidentally on Purpose vest from Sn'B. I have the yarn to make both but I am torn.....

Any thoughts?
