I owe lots of emails and rav messages too. I&#8217;ve been feeling a little blah. I&#8217;m blaming the weather. I&#8217;m sick and tired of winter, I wish it were over already. I&#8217;m tired of being cold.<br \/>\nBundaberg was lovely and warm. I did come back, but we all had difficulty giving up the sunshine! (And the shower head which actually had water pressure)<br \/>\nAdding to my general malaise is the annual sewathon that takes place around this time of year. The sewing of costumes for Emily&#8217;s dance school&#8217;s annual concert. Somehow I always get myself roped into sewing piles of costumes.<br \/>\nThis pile is in the process of becoming princess dresses for a horde of 5 &#8211; 7 year olds.<br \/>\n<center><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"280808 016.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/280808%20016.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"338\" \/><\/center><br \/>\nAnother pile.<br \/>\n<center><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"280808 015.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/280808%20015.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"338\" \/><\/center><br \/>\nThis will turn the same girls into mad professors.

Which is probably also contributing to my case of blahs. But despair not, I&#8217;ve managed some!<br \/>\nI took the Firestarter sock to Bundaberg with me, and despite the stupid laws prohibiting knitting on Australian flights, I managed to get some knitting done. If I could&#8217;ve knit in the terminals and on the planes, I probably could have finished the sock!<br \/>\n<center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/280808%20011.html\" onclick=\"window.open('http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/280808%20011.html','popup','width=850,height=653,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/280808%20011-thumb.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"345\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/center><br \/>\nIt is coming along quite nicely though!
