Just so You Know

I started my theatre gig for the spring, which is why there have been no new posts. I've been waking up at the crack of dawn and then I'm off to the theatre, then returning to my home at about 11 at night.

Tomorrow is my day off I will post something, and hopfully with pictures.

Finished!

Finished! I am finished with my lace. It's giant. These are the photos I took while it was blocking.


I love it. The shawl is long enough to wrap around and cover my arms.

Home is Where the Heart Is

Home, I love my apartment. I say this only because last night I stayed over to watch the boys I nanny as dad is on a bussiness trip. I like staying at my parents place when I visit, and Camp in the summer is my second home, but other than that I love my apartment.

This said I don't stay in my apartment and never go out. Although when it's cold out I would much rather stay in and cook and bake and of course knit. I sometimes think I am overly domestic. Simon does do the dishes and the laundry as those are two thinks I hate doing.

I start at a theatre gig in a few days, I can't wait. Techs are a lot of hurry up and do nothing, so I should be able to get a good chunk of my knitting for the spring done. I have a little over a month ot get my items made and photographed. My deadline for release is fast approaching, March 27th, but I should have lots of down time here and there up in the cat walks and in the green room. Perfect for knitting!

Aussie!

Simon and I went to breakfast at our favorite spot today and our conversation turned to Australia. This happens a lot since Simon is from Oz. We are trying to figure out our trip to Australia. Simon has to leave next January and I have to decide if I'm going over with him or coming a month after and how long am I staying? Not to mention the decision to get a partner visa or not.

The trip is a year away, but there is so much to think about and plan. I can't wait, although a 14 hour plan ride is not the perk of this trip. I have to decide how long I plan on staying and then get a visa or not get a visa. If i stay for 90 days or less I don't need a visa, but if I want to stay longer than 90 days I have to look into getting a partner visa or a longer visiter visa. Two decisions have been made. One, I am going to Australia in the spring and two, I am staying for at least four weeks.

I have a little time to make this decicion as I don't qualify for the partner visa till June, but I have to have my trip plans ready and set by August that means flight, and visa or no visa all in order. Along with setting up how my Etsy will run while I'm in the outback.

Oh and breakfast was awesome!

Spring Line

Things seemed to be going as planed with my spring items. I have my tote bags all finished and I've started my bamboo tams, and soon I will be knitting banana silk scarves. Soon I will be ordering buttons and mini cards and hopefully do a small amount of screen printing. Just maybe on the screen printing, as I may save that till the fall.

With this all said I will be ready to release and list my new items on March 27th.

Spinning!

I've Been spinning lately. I remembered how much I love it. Soon I hope to have some photos of some finished yarn.

My lace is almost done. I have another lace project lined up, but I want to make a bolaro jacked so i'm not sure which to make first. I wish I could knit all day long.

Lady of Leisure

I am a lady of leisure today. It is a day off for me. I slept in to almost noon, watched the end of Pride and Prejudice, knit on my lace (which is huge!) and now I'm going to actually do some errends and work.

Tonight Simon and I are going to a brithday party at our favorite watering hole the Nodding Head.

I designed a new scarf and my replace the knit mesh scarf with the on I just made. The new one is easier to create and way more interesting than the first one. I haven't started on my scarves so it will be easy to replace the old ones with the new design.
