I managed to accomplish three things with my weekend off:

1. Buy a new red shirt to wear to the FCC Chinese New Year banquet. (Pictures here, if you’re interested.)
2. Finish knitting a sock.
3. Get really, really sick.

Clever, non?

Last weekend, however, ushered in an explosion of creativity, and hyperbole. On Sunday I finished the toddler dress I was making in the Learn to Sew class I was taking with the lovely and talented Denise. Et, voilà!

Note the groovy googly-eyed cat button. It may have been the result of a Project Runway overdose. I can’t say for certain.

Today I went out and bought fabric to make a second toddler dress, an apron (really, it will be cute. honest.), and a pair of pj pants for DH. Oh, and a magnetic pin thingie to pick up all of the pins I keep dropping on the floor. Pins are not so very good for Corgis, vacuum cleaners or two-year-olds.

And to top off the excitement…today my first Rockin’ Sock Club sock kit from Blue Moon Fiber Arts arrived in the mail. Yipee!!!!

Poor DH. He may not be seeing too much of me for a little while. But he will be getting a nice pair of coffee bean print pj’s as a lovely consolation prize…
