So guess what? Yesterday after writing, I took a yarn break and then I yanked all the camera/video gear out of the kitchen. I didn't like it in there. Actually, that's a lie. I HATED it in there.
Hated it.
Now, I love my kitchen again. I still have stuff to move back into place and then fix one of the walls and that's okay. Gonna be a cold overcast weekend. Perfect for indoor projects. Unless I score some new yarn then all bets are off.
In other news, the book writing is going well. It's wonderful to be pointed at something. Each morning before the sun comes up, I zombie crawl myself from coffin to writing desk and I'm over the moon that I've not talked myself out of this project.
And in other, other news, I'm meeting up with a girlfriend for lunch and then stop at the yarn store to take a little spin. Ya' know just a little spin. Just to see.
Just in case there's new yarn arrivals. Because well, you know, I gotzta.
And that my Boogerbutts is all that's fit to print. Bring on the weekend. I'm ready!
Hmmm. I have a good feeling that you might end up bringing home a few more spools of yarn. So, maybe the project for the weekend will end up being full of yarn projects. Excited to read your finished project...Happy Friday to you...enjoy the lunch.
ReplyDeleteThose yarns might jump into my hot little hands. Wishing you a Happy Friday too.
DeleteThis sounds like a great day!
ReplyDeleteYou'll have to show us what you end up buying in the yarn store. Enjoy your lunch!
Thank you, Mari. I was there the other day and the sales were still on the stinky side. I'm hoping today they might be better and if so, I'm gonna grab me some fun yarns. Muwhahahahaha.
Deletehave fun, wish I could be out to lunch with you too, we could do a lot of laughing... hope you find yarn worthy of I MUST HAVE THIS
ReplyDeleteSo much laughing we would do. That would be FUN!
DeleteZombie crawl -- hahahahaha! Enjoy lunch and the yarn store!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Debra. Just doing some tidy work before we meet up. Happy Weekend!
DeleteHappy Weekend!
ReplyDeleteHappy Weekend right back atcha!
DeleteWhat is your book about? Do you have before and after pics of your kitchen? I hope you find lots of pretty yarn!
ReplyDeleteBake book. Some Cooking. Some fermentation. I don't have pictures of the before or after. I wish I'd thought of that. Thanks about the yarn. I ended up with not one thing. I was shocked but ... so far, nothing worth buying. Maybe next week. Right now it's still only 25% off at JF and Hobby Lobby does better than that every other week with their 30%.
DeleteSounds fun!
ReplyDeleteWas fun. Happy Weekend.
DeleteGood for you sticking with the book writing. You'll have that finished in no time. Lunch with a friend is always fun and even better stopping at the yarn shop afterwards.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ann. I normally write daily only the great thing now is, I'm pointed at something. There's a goal. A project to dig into. Being pointed at something is such a groovy thing. Lunch was very nice. Glad I went.
DeleteThat's great, sounds like you've been/are having a great time. Love the fact that you are book writing. Enjoy everything you do this week.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Feels good to be pointed at something.
DeleteGlad you are still writing! Enjoy your weekend.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Alex. Feels good to be pointed at something.
DeleteYou a busy and happy whisk:). Hope you find some new yarns. Working on getting two afghans done here - for twin grands headed off to college in the fall. Hope they are done before they graduate:)
ReplyDeleteI found a pretty purple/lilac that looks fun to play with only was too expensive given the type of yarn, etc. Exciting on your afghans. That's a fun project, two projects. Great gift to give to the kiddos in the fall. Love that.
DeleteA stop at the yarn store is always a great plan!
ReplyDeleteI could and have spent hours looking at yarn.
DeleteThose walk through yarn stores are dangerous, at least for me. I hope you have fun. And I wouldn't like all the camera gear in my kitchen either. But then I like to cook for fun and business and that makes a difference. I'm glad you're happy to yank it out, and I hope you have fun in the kitchen or playing with yarn this weekend.
ReplyDeleteHey Erika. Yeah, it was video camera gear that I've tried twice to keep up all the time and I just don't like it. Video isn't at this time, more important than a fully functional kitchen. I love to cook and bake for fun, I don't want video gear all about when I'm writing a new formula and playing mad scientist baker. Hope your weekend was fun.
DeleteI'm sure you will enjoy lunch and the yarn store!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend, I'm looking forward to mine as I am seeing family ... can't wait :)
All the best Jan
Wonderful Jan. That sounds like a great weekend for you guys.
DeleteI actually gace away all the yarn I found when cleaning out a cupboard recently. i can't knit more than a few rows without my knuckles seizing up these days, so I gave it all to my daughters best friend with loves knitiing and crochet and is quite skilled at it.
ReplyDeleteI did the same in 2016, gave all yarn and needles away because I couldn't yarn anymore either. Is there anything you can do for your knuckles?
Delete*gave*
ReplyDeleteMy eye glazed right over gace and read gave. Funny how the eye does that at times.
DeleteWriting a book is a BIG commitment. Glad you are disciplined, sticking to it, and enjoying the process. Hope you enjoyed lunch and the yarn store.
ReplyDeleteIt's a fun project that I've walked away from before. This time feels different. Time will tell. Hope you're eating lots of yummy things this week.
DeleteYarn, been working on another scrap afghan. Almost done with it. It will be a Christmas gift for my adopted grandson, his wife, Evie and Beckman. Wow, what is your book about? I have always wanted to do write one, already have the name but I can't seem to get it going. Forgotten all I learned in school about writing a book, outlining it and so on and so forth. Best of luck on yours!
ReplyDeleteLove the scrap afghan. Very cool that you're almost done with it. What a great Christmas gift.
DeleteBake/cooking book from all the playing I do in the kitchen.
Love that you have a name. Have you tried ass in chair method to get yours started? It's when the writer puts ass in chair and just starts to vomit all over the page with words. Let is all out.
Have a wonderful weekend whatever you decide to do!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lori.
DeleteCatching up with The Happy Whisk - always a good time! I'm excited for your book writing :)
ReplyDeleteHey Abby - nice to see you. Thanks!
DeleteWell done for being brave and kicking stuff out of your kitchen that wasn't making you happy and also not buying more yarn. How good are you!! Hope you had a fun time with your friend.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week.
I tell you the truth. Kicking stuff out and/or changing things up to make them work is a normal thing around these them parts. If it doesn't work, I try to find a better solution. For me, video camera gear in the kitchen, that I've tried twice as a permanent thing, doesn't work. Just in the way when not filming. New solution on the way.
DeleteNot good enough sales on the yarn yet. I'll keep an eye out as they had a fun purple/lilac that looks fun to work with.
You have a fun time planned yarn and lunch!
ReplyDeleteCathy
Was really nice to see Kris last week. Fun stuff.
Delete"A little spin at the yarn store" yep, we all know how that's gonna end - enjoy!! I love the way you write, I'm sure your book will be a huge success 😊
ReplyDeleteHey Polly. Just a little spin, lol. Thank you for the kind words about my writing. Made me smile.
DeleteIt just sounds like you need some "me" time...Enjoy!
ReplyDeletehugs
Donna
Hey Donna. I didn't actually need me time. Just wanted to check out the sales of which, nonesville city. Well, they had them. 25% off. Other stores do better so I kept my dough for another day. I'll head back there another day this week to see if the sales are better.
DeleteYou are incredibly productive and it also sounds like you are making time for fun and other creative options too. Well done!
ReplyDeleteI love to made stuff, Jeanie. Great fun it is.
DeleteI love going into a yarn shop and getting lost, I don't mind if I don't find anything I just love to look.
ReplyDeleteSame, Judy. I love the looking and I don't mind getting lost without coming home with something. That was me last week. Sale prices still not where I'd like them to be so I passed. Still had fun though.
DeleteI had a lovely time in the fabric store this weekend..... Some fabric may have come home with me to be added to my rather large stash. Hope the yarn shop had some new yarn.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
So glad you scored good fabric. Last weekend when I went back, the yarn was high, even at 25% off, the other store does better every other week at 30% off so I passed. Still was fun to go. I love a nice walkabout. Happy sewing to you.
DeleteLove your sense of humor and how you get things done.
ReplyDeleteHope your yarn adventure was successful.
Overcast and cold days are perfect for projects..have at it !!!
Sue
Hey Sue! It was fun to get out and about. No new yarn yet. The sales weren't good enough. I'll go back again and look. Thanks for stopping in and have a groovy day. Cheers, Ivy.
