New Toy!

Lookie, lookie, the cat got a cookie...

OMG - I just HAD to!  I've been so pining for a wheel and I got a great deal on this one.  The girl who sold it to me met me in the McD's parking lot after work.  I felt like I was awaiting a drug deal to go down.  I was so nervous/excited!  She whipped in with her 6 yo and 18 mo kids, pulled out the wheel and showed me how it works.  She threw in two bags of roving to get me started.  I did not get a chance to play with it last night - I'm trying to knock out a Chicago Bears stocking cap for DS.  Making myself wait gives me incentive to knock out the hat.

DH and I are working on curtains for DGB's room.  I've had the fabric sitting there and pulled a typical Marlana move.  I get wrapped up in the details and make it impossible to get the project off the ground.  I start worrying about the design --- working with red, yellow, green and checkered fabrics causes me to have spasms.  Then I was worried about what "type" of curtain rods to use.  When I got home from shopping on Sunday, DH had them cut out and pinned.  No, not the way I would've done it but his idea on the curtains is way cool.  I got all the pinned parts sewn (sewed?) and all we lack is finishing up (I love that saying --- God bless Mr. Carriker). 

Stupid cable internet is down at home - "they" have been working on it in our area.  I also had to call in to our home security system - looks like our backup battery is dying a slow death.  Of course, I have to be at home when I call.  Does it ever end?
