Mother's Day present I bought for my self and wrapped for myself and put in husband's closet for the 4 weeks until I could open it Sunday. Shameful. Shhh. It makes my heart sing. I'm officially a bag hag and I hate myself for it. Isn't she pretty?
Some of the flowers I ordered for myself while I was ordering my mothers their flowers. I couldn't help it. Serves me right that I think the lilies, while absolutely gorgeous, smell like feet.
The yellow sweater. She is nearly finished. Sewn together and woven in. All that's left to do is pick up and knit the neckline. That's all. All that's left. And damn if I haven't done it 4 times, none to my satisfaction. Perhaps five is the charm...
So I let her sit while I cast on and knit the back and half of the front of a sweater out of this Sakura that I practically stole from Rachel. Too lazy to take a picture of the sweater, and I'm not even sure it will make it to the point where a picture will be worth it. While I love the yarn with an aching yearning pounding love, the pattern support is practically nil and I don't want to make a Clapotis right now... I want to make a sweater.
So I dropped everything and read a super trashy novel in 24 hours starting yesterday at 3 p.m. So trashy I can't even tell you the name of it...
I seriously need to accomplish something worthwhile and not selfish soon... Except that QVC has a TSV coming up in the next few days that needs my attention.
wow, that sweater is seriously beautiful! and also the yarn in the basket, swoooon! great to have you back.
best wishes from Iceland

Aw come on: title, PLEASE. I might need to read it! (assuming it's an actual pages-and-binding book and not one of your usual downloads. . . .)
Feet, NUTHIN. Lilies equals deelishus. I have a vaseful from my baby Daddy sitting in the kitchen window, knocking my socks off every time I enter the room. They intoxicate me. (but remove those durn anthers before they shed pollen all over your lovely white petals!)
Also, don't forget our Friday night food fight: Hummus wraps for the church bbq are supremely worthwhile and the very antithesis of selfish. Thou art absolved!

Bag is adorable! And the yellow sweater is absolutely stunning. I love it!
