'Procrastination is the thief of time'.If I didn't have the interwebs I would get so much more done. But then, I would be far less well-informed about all kinds of incidental oddments in the universe. But truly, for someone as nosy as me, the internet is an absolute timesucker, and as a choice, is a no-brainer when the other main option is cleaning out the morass of mingled muckheaps that is currently the children's bedrooms.
So while I've been waiting for my lye solution to cool down, I've checked out my friends' blogs, clicked on some of the blogs on their blog rolls, found the pattern I want to knit Mini Diva for Christmas (except I'll have to find out how to add a Fun Fur trim), matched the 6 balls of pink Sirdar Luxury Soft Cotton DK (picked up for 50p a ball in the Franklins sale) to a lacy bolero pattern, and am also on my third wash of the day.
So tired out by my exertions, I'm off for one of these:
Except that mine will not be so anaemic, as it'll be Assam, and in a much nicer - and more importantly - bigger, teacup.
Nice cardi - you're welcome to knit me one too ;)#
ReplyDeleteOh, and a cup of tea would be lovely too, though I prefer Keemun or Engish Afternoon at this time of day LOL
I might try Keemun; was thinking Darjeeling ....
ReplyDeleteLye solution? *ears perk up* Tell us about the soap!
ReplyDeleteThat was a great bargain on the DK cotton! Lacy boleros are so nice.
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever blog! LOVE IT! also think the "mini diva" as you call her will love the sweater you plan to make. what color? I think i'll go make a cup of tea now....
ReplyDeleteEnglish Breakfast for me.
ReplyDeleteThe intertubes is a total time-suck, but I doubt if I could survive a couple of days without it.
Can't remember who starred in the film in discussion? Look it up on the internet. Want to know how many hip replacements your aging rock star god has had, look it up on the internet.
Much as I love its instant access to Stuff, nothing will replace the religious experience I have opening a New Book....
Get on with the soap making btw.

Thanks for the nice comments :-)
ReplyDeleteThat cardi will be in that awful purple - she loves it :-)
SJ & Alison, what makes you think I'm making soap ? I could be deep-cleaning. << loud chortles >>
Yes, the internet is sucking my time as I write this...love it! C
ReplyDeleteDeep Cleaning? You'd better not be!

I found your blog via Ravelry's Comments Train, and I really like your Bereavement Spread, although I couldn't add a comment directly there.
ReplyDeleteI have very recently lost my mother and someone suggested to me starting a notebook to write down memories about her. I think I will add your idea to the book and have page for each of the things you suggest. Thanks.
