Trish's World

These last couple of weeks have been sort of crazy. Work has been really busy, and in my off hours I’ve been getting ready for the show and working on some custom orders. I also met up with my friend Laura last Thursday, and she helped me decide on prices for the show, and she also taught me how to needle felt. It is so much fun, I can’t even tell you! I needlefelted a heart onto a knit purse and it was awesomely fun. Pics as soon as I have time, and as soon as the show is over I will be working on perfecting my needle felting skillz. I am going to needle felt everything!! I also got to have dinner with my friend Becky on Tuesday night. It was so great to see her! She moved to Florida a few months ago, so it had been a while and it was awesome to catch up with her.

The weekend was kind of a haze of shopping and hanging with friends. Friday afternoon our friends Garnett and Pat stopped by and brought tiny little Aspen with them. She is so cute. She has this tiny little munchkin voice that is just adorable. She really liked Nemo, and she even got to pet Buffy! Buffy wasn’t overly excited about the small fry, but she didn’t run away, so thanks again Kitty Prozac! Saturday I shopped with my mom & sis. We also had the litte monster, Noah, with us. He cracks me up. He talks like he’s 40 years old, and it is so funny. He was telling me a story and I told him I thought it was funny, and he said “I must admit, I thought it was funny, too, Aunt Kitty”. I must admit?? Who even says that? Definitely not too many 6 year olds! Saturday night we caught up with Becky again, and had another wonderful time hanging out with her. She left for Florida this morning and I miss her already!! She and my BFF-OMG Amber are coming at Christmas and I can’t wait. Amber is going to cooking school and she promised to teach me to bake cherry scones! Also on Saturday night, we ran into an old friend, Clovis. It turns out that he lives right down the street from us! Hopefully we will be seeing more of Clovis now that we are aware of his proximity.

Sunday evening, Mike & I headed out to the Best Buy private sale event. Mike got a new computer that he has had his eye on, and I got a new netbook. We also scored several Christmas presents, and earned triple reward points on everything. Plus, they had free soda!

I love my Palm Pre. I think it is so cool and fun and easy to use and awesome. But then it turned jinky. The screen keeps going out.  Fiurst it will flicker and weird lines show up, and then it goes black, and turns into a useless lump. This lasts anywhere from a few hours to a day at a time. Then it will snap back to life and work great for a while – but I never know for how long. There is nothing more frustrating than holding your phone while you hear it ringing, but not even being able to answer it. It sucks. Like bigtime. I took it in for service last week, but they told me it’s totally busted and I need a new one. So I had to wait several days for it to come in, and now it is, and I am picking it up tonight. I am so freaking excited I can’t even tell you! While I was at the service joint, I noticed they have PINK Pre cases, which I’ve never seen before. And you know I’ve looked. So I think I am going to score one of those too.

Ok, let’s talk TV. I sort of gave up on Dancing with the Stars, I haven’t watched it in 2 weeks! I am rooting for Kelly Osbourne, though. However, I think Mya will win. I’ve also been watching V with the boys. I’m liking it so far. I haven’t seen last night’s, so unless it royally sucked, I am saying thumbs up on V. Community continues to rock my face off, as does Glee. I watched last week’s Glee last night, and I loved loved loved Defying Gravity. Kurt is so awesome, I wanna smoosh him. That’s one of my favorite songs anyway, so I loved it. I am so behind on Vampire Diaries! I still haven’t seen last week’s yet, and I need my vampire fix. I might get to watch it tonight, but I have a zillion things to do before the show this weekend, so it might not happen.

Here are a few new knits. I’m trying to get photos taken of everything I don’t already have photos of. There will be more to come. The Emily Shawl is made from a wool/alpaca blend and 100% wool. Very soft and feminine. Next up, the How Now Brown Cowl? is a chucky and warm wool/acrylic blend with 2 button closure. Very elegant and exceedingly warm. The Isadora cowl is super soft, blue and white, and has a single button closure. Big ups if you actually get why I called it Isadora. Comment if you think you know the answer. And last (for now!), the Bonfire scarf. Very soft and has a lovely drape. I wasn’t crazy about this scarf when I first finished it, but the more I touch it, the more I have grown to love it. It has an amazing texture, and drapes so beautifully.

TTFN, kiddies. Hope you are having a great week!
