Mr. Interrupted made a Costco run today and brought me back a gigantic box of orange juice. Doozer loves boxes.

It’s Good Friday
Zombie Jesus day is just around the corner!
Furthermore, if you haven’t already, check out the Brooklyn Bunny Cam. It’s exactly like the Truman Show, only with a bunny.
Well Then, That Was Interesting
I wish I could say that it was a lovely day to be at the beach today, but it wasn’t. Although we did have a fun time, it was far too windy and cold to say that it was “nice”. I think the temperature might’ve gotten up above 60 but the funny (and I don’t mean funny “ha-ha”) thing is that the wind probably did too. There’s nothing like sitting on the beach getting sand blasted. Not only did I not take my knitting out, I didn’t take my camera out either. Which is fine, because when we got home I found sand in places I thought would have been safe from the wind. Like the inside of my ear. Still, the kids (it was my 2 and my friend’s 4) all dug holes in the sand and sat in them, which looked like it could’ve been kind of fun. And at least we weren’t sitting at home, doing laundry. I’m pretty sure watching the kids dig holes in the sand and sit in them is rather a bit more fun than doing laundry. Any day.
I has PJ pants now!
I had a great day today, hanging out with my friend Weaver who surged my PJ pants for me. Now I have two new pairs of PJ pants made from t-shirt stretch knit. (Thanks again Weaver!) They are going to be SO comfy this summer! I9 and E5 both have a pair too. Yay! While we were doing that, the kids played, and she showed off her new floppy sun hats and her chubby super heroes. Awesome! Now I am getting ready for this week’s trip to the beach where it will be a whopping 60 degrees. I’m bringing a sweater this time. And wearing long pants. But hey, at least we’ll be cold at the beach! Everything is more awesome when you’re at the beach. Even freezing your ass off.
Happy Skynet Day!
Yup, that’s right! At 8:11pm Skynet became self aware. The attack on humanity is due to begin on Thursday. Luckily for me I will be freezing my butt off at the beach, working on my dishrag. Because everyone knows you need to have your knitting in order should the apocalypse begin while you are out and about.
Drive By Blog Post
I’m just popping in here (you know, because of that daily obligation thing) to say that after a typical day of running errands, folding laundry, unloading and loading the dishwasher, making dinner, and unloading and loading the dishwasher again, I’ve decided to go ahead and get off the computer now and do some knitting. Have a wonderful evening/night/morning (depending on what time it is when this post reaches you)! <3
Also, here is a picture of an octopus. Have more than one octopus in your tank? Surprise, it’s not a tangle of octopi.
It Was a Sewing Kind of Day
As much as I am loving my chicken purse, and I am LOVING it, it was so difficult to find anything within its vast inner cavern. So, I picked up some coordinating fabrics at Joann’s and dug out my sewing machine. First I made a wallet, riffing (as I tend to do) on this tutorial from Babyangel. (I used her alternate zipper instructions, found here.)

(completed wallet, unfolded)
(completed wallet folded and in better light)
It just needs a snap or some other form of closure. I am so thrilled with how it came out!
Then I got some fabric bits leftover from making knitting project bags and made something else.
(I love that fabric.)
What is it you ask?
It’s one of these, of course!
And it works smashingly!

Whew! A wonderful and productive sewing day!
A Plan
Thing the first: I need to have some travel knitting, something small and mindless for knitting abroad. Right now, that’s a dishcloth.
Thing the second: I need to actually work on my sister’s Blue Blossom Shawl so I can finally finish it already. It’s my evening knitting from now until it’s done.
Thing the third: The strangest sensation has taken me over and I have an intense desire to do some sewing. Tomorrow I will make a drawstring bag (or two), a hand bag organizer thingy, and some PJ pants for myself and the boys.
Thing the fourth: I have a couple of library books (The Lathe of Heaven and Lilith’s Brood) which I have on inter-library loan. If I am ever to finish reading them before I have to return them, I need to spend less time on the Internets. Well…. You know, I’ll TRY to do that.
No Knitting Here
I’ve been doing an astonishingly little amount of knitting lately. I mean, I fiddled around a little with the yarns I got at the yarn tasting and, in so doing, learned that I do not care at all for those tape yarns but that the CEY Seedling yarn is actually quite nice. Then I got out a ball of leftover cotton and knitted about half a little baby hat, but when they didn’t have the same colorway at Joann’s today, I came home and ripped it out. I realize now that I could have just finished it off with a coordinating color, but I just didn’t care enough. It’s not like I don’t have a shawl on the needles, and one that I really should be working on. It’s not that I don’t have plans for other stuff. I’m just, I dunno, taking a little break I guess. It’s like that sometimes, I suppose. But it doesn’t make for very interesting knit blogging.
Anyway, to that end, here are some things which amused me on the Internets this week:
Funny British Animal voice overs=LOL.
This is highly funny to me on many levels.
Happy Friday everyone!
Twofer Thursday
1. Last summer I cut open an apple to find that the seeds had sprouted so I threw them out into one of the pots of dirt I keep on the deck. At the end of the fall, Mr. Interrupted brought them up to his office. He kept them up there all winter long and brought them down tonight to go back outside. I was surprised to see what they look like now!
Baby apple trees!
2. Today we took advantage of the sunny day and hit the beach. It was too cold to play in the water, but the kids all had a grand time playing in the sand and catching crabs.
Hooray for spring!
