little books and other things [10 Oct 2002|05:16pm]
i am working on little books.
because i am getting these done so late, everyone will get extra EXTRA surprises
:)
so the wait will have been worth it for all!
people that i still owe
other things to:
EVERYTHING will be sent in the mail TOMORROW. ( except cookies and little
books *except pussy tv which IS going into the mail tomorrow* )
person who bought 1 pound box of surprises...your box is now about a 15 pound
box of surprises :) ( i add to it almost every day )
people i owe cookies
to ( emmett, gerhard):
i will make these this coming tuesday , then i will send them in the mail
the next day
knitting toys and 3 hats [10 Oct 2002|10:30pm]
i made 3 new hats in the last several days :)
i will take pictures later to show u!
i wish the cam could capture the intricatcies (sp? ) of the yarn and of the
hats themselves. so far, i haven't been able to capture it very well, i don't
think.
it's so delicate and intricate and tactile
i feel snuggly on my
couch making hats.
i think i will now attempt to figure out making a granny square
i bought a kenner knitting machine on ebay! i figure best to start with a toy. i also want to get a toy loom
my brain expanded to
the ends of the universe with everything that is fiber art. i thought i was
going to have to spend the rest of my life figuring out how to weave the fabric
that is in my head. plus 20,000 for a loom and go to college for it and learn
the computer prograame to run it.
then my brain finally snapped back in and i realized that i only do things
if they are 1) easy and 2) portable
even with music...i only would record ,by myself, on my tiny portable very easy to use 4 track. if it ever got more complex than that, i would abandon it.
so now i am just happy
to stick with a toy loom and a toy knitting machine and a few crochet hooks.
happy to stick with that for NOW :)
and i want to get one of those mattel knit-o-matics :)

i'm sick of them both.
(politians from minnesota running against each other)
i love jimmy carter :)
[12 Oct 2002|04:25am]
yay to jimmy carter! i love that guy :) he was my favourite president :)
when he was campaigning
to be president, my family and i happened to be in georgia so we stopped by
his peanut farm and in this farm type building were all the pamphlets and
there was only one person in there ( besides us )...a woman in a rocking chair
fanning herself. and it was jimmy carter's mother! i got her autograph. i
wonder if i still have that somwhere. that was such a cool moment, especially
in retrospect :)
she looked up and said, " ya'll look so nahhhhh-iice and cooool"
:)
it's nice to have this little peaceful gem of news in the midst of all this war talk.
GIVE PEACE A CHANCE

[ mood | hungry ]
i'm making spaghetti
and bidding on a knitting spool.
what are you doing?
then i am going to take a nap because i didn't get much sleep. i was up til
6am.
[13 Oct 2002|04:45pm]
today i went to aamodt's apple farm and got some apples. things i also bought
there that i am excited to try: pumpkin butter, plum butter, cranberry mustard,
and 2 apple dumplings that i can bake later :)
it was nice to see the sun today, even tho it was a cold sun (38 degrees).
when i came home i fell asleep. i am soooo sleepy these days i feel like a
bear that needs to hibernate.
the girl's who rang up my sale were so stuck up. this farm is near where i went to highschool and i can see that they are just as stuck up as when i went to high school there. it made me feel very hostile until , at the last minute, i saw a pekinese and that made me smile.
i also went to school with a boy who was the son on the man who owned aamodt's. and this boy, scott, was round and also red, like an apple and because of this he got teased a lot. then at the farm i saw a boy that looked just like him and i figured this was his son now. and i asked the boy if he knew scott aamodt and he had never heard of him. so i wonder if scott was so sick of being teased about the apple farm that he changed his name and went off to do different things. who knows? a mystery.
now i'm gonna fry up
some steaks and then watch the sopranos later.

little books [14 Oct
2002|12:58am]
if anyone still wants to order little books, you can still do it!HERE IS THE
INFO
[14 Oct 2002|01:02am]
do any of you still ruminate over the past?
i do.
i go over and over and over the event that still has no closure and then i
go over every possible scenario that could possibly happen in the future about
that event with the people i would like to say things to.
and i say it over and over in every way possible way and go over every possible
answer they could have to every possible thing i could say about it.
and this is exhausting.
i wish i didn't care.
i don't know if i will ever reach the point where i don't care.
think i should go to
a hypnotist and have these things "erased" from my mind or have
me reprogrammed to not care and get over it and move on.
