Saturday? Again?
Sky. Not gorgeous today.
It changed all day, sunny one minute, cloudy the next. But I thought I'd show you the clouds, just to prove that we do have cloudy Saturdays here in Sydney.
Busy, but very little knitting.
I finished Ene!
She is still waiting to be blocked, though.
I also finished my first ever dishcloth.
Well, I finished the knitting. As you can see, haven't even woven the ends in yet.
And that's the grand total of the knitting I managed all week.
I've started to panic about the dance costumes I'm supposed to be sewing. I don't enjoy doing it anymore, but the money helps pay for Em's dancing. However, I've been shirking my responsibilities, and I'd hoped I'd be done by the end of September, yet I have 13 only half done, and 21 not even started yet. In fact, for 6 of those, I need to create a freakin' pattern. Yay, me.
Procrastination ought to be my middle name.
This of course, means that the knitting must be shoved aside, or at least lessened until the damned costumes are done.
None of this was helped by the fact that I got whumped by a virus through the week and spent Wednesday night and most of Thursday in bed with Sawyer.
Well, Lost Season One on DVD anyway.
Horrendous sinus headaches, dizzy heads, the works, but I was mostly better yesterday, which was a good thing, because we went to see Cirque du Soleil perform Varekai.
In a word, Amazing.
This afternoon, I missed Stitch n Bitch, because Em had a group dance comp, (They came third) and we're home briefly before I head off for my nephew's 17th birthday party. (When did that happen??) Emily is far too excited about this party for my liking!
Then tomorrow morning we're off to the dance comp again.
Does that all sound jumbled, haphazard, random and totally confusing?
Good, I'm glad its not just me.

Posted by: pooch at August 27, 2006 10:42 AMEne is beautiful. Sorry you've not been feeling well, hope you feel better soon.
Posted by: wanda at August 27, 2006 10:51 AMhope you feel better soon!
Posted by: Nat at August 27, 2006 04:50 PM1.I'm looking forward to seeing Ene blocked.. I hope you can make time for that in with all those costumes. How long on average is each one going to take you?
2. As a fellow sinus sufferer you have my utmost sympathy [ and pollen season has just started ... erk ]
3. Tell me more about Cirque du Soleil... we have tickets for the Melbourne season next year ... too long to wait till April :[ I need a vicarious cirque fix now
I think you have been VERY busy! Can't wait to see Ene blocked - it will inspire me to finish the one thing in my knitting pile that I MUST finish BEFORE I start my Ene.
Posted by: Rose Red at August 28, 2006 08:55 AMIm thinking maybe Em will have to learn how to sew costumes soon so you can do your knitting. Sounds as though the virus has effected you in everything, knitting, sewing and socialising. Hope you are better now, and good luck with all the cosutmes too.

Posted by: the stripey tiger at August 28, 2006 11:10 PMOh, I can't wait to see Ene blocked! I am on row 17, so far behind you!! Now to figure out if I need 1 or 2 more skeins to make it with the yarn I started with. Maybe I should have thought of that before starting?
Posted by: Chris at August 29, 2006 12:21 AMoh love ene and the dishcloth! I am still on my first and love them! they are so quick and easy and bigger than I thought!!! wow so many costumes to make how do you find the time!
Posted by: corrie at August 29, 2006 03:05 PMEne looks great unblocked ... she will be beautiful once you get her blocked. WOW. I don't have to tell you, but that's a lot of costumes. Wow. You'll get it done though. You're focused and devoted. I have faith. :)
Posted by: Samantha at August 29, 2006 11:03 PMThanks for the code Donna - I'm up and running again. Phew!

Oh Ene's Scarf is so lovely!! You really have been knitting. I like knitting dishcloths - they are so small you can have such a feeling of satisfaction from a finished item in a short time.
Posted by: 2paw at August 26, 2006 08:11 PMWow!! You are a costume wonder!! You are worth your weight in gold!!!
