Getting ready for the big party...

prison work skirt

Ok not really, but it's from a burda pattern from the stack of magazines mom gave me last summer, and part of the new summer wardrobe. Yay! It has box pleats (I had to move the ones on the back) and I added a pocket on the side for my cellphone. Sorry, but I need pockets...

and here she is, lil miss "native garden"

whatever the hell that meant... again, don't ask.

She's cute though

Oh, and here she is onstage:
btw, she got to be, along with a few of the older kids, in the "first" group which meant she often knew what she was supposed to be doing, and did it! Her only regret? "I wish there were spotlights"

Ham for sale, cheap!

too many projects, too little time

I'm screnzy-ing, so knitting has taken a back seat. That, and I did ballet costumes. Thirteen.

But here, without ends woven in, is dd's Gryffendor book mark. She'll wake up tomorrow with it in her Goblet of Fire (book, not actual goblet)

My knitting group seems kaput. :=( That's another reason for the non-blogginess.

Anyway, here is one pink and purple sparkly scarf, guess who it's for?

Oh, and the ends are woven in now and fringe made, it looks very cute (bookmark, that is). I'll post pics if my digital camera survives tomorrow at the high school. Don't ask.

Oh look, I am so shocked

Kate Hepburn, who knew? Oh wait, everyone...

You scored 9% grit, 28% wit, 52% flair, and 14% class!

You are the fabulously quirky and independent woman of character. You go your own way, follow your own drummer, take your own lead. You stand head and shoulders next to your partner, but you are perfectly willing and able to stand alone. Others might be more classically beautiful or conventionally woman-like, but you possess a more fundamental common sense and off-kilter charm, making interesting men fall at your feet. You can pick them up or leave them there as you see fit. You share the screen with the likes of Spencer Tracy and Cary Grant, thinking men who like strong women.

Find out what kind of classic leading man you'd make by taking the Classic Leading Man Test.

My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:

You scored higher than 99% on grit

You scored higher than 99% on wit

You scored higher than 99% on flair

You scored higher than 99% on class

Finished new Felted Knitting Bag

I'm way behind in bloggyness.

Here it is pre-felting:

and with someone helping me demonstrate how big it is

And blocking (though I took it off this box because I was impatient and wanted to use it... and so it's a bit wrinkly and I really should re-block it)

This plastic box usually holds office files, just so you get an idea of what size it wound up as.
