knit a car


well, i'm completely freaking out. our home school charter program officially begins monday-as in day- after -tomorrow-NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! i'm not ready! school should not start till sometime after labor day! i'm having major anxiety. i just feel unready to tackle the new year.-i enter it with a sense of dread. i just want to unschool for a year and do nothing-except what we want! Liam is not the easiest child to home school-he's a redhead for crise sake-(BTY did you hear the NPR report of the rapid decline of redheads in world? something like 3% of redheads in the world-down from 10%-don't quote me on the fact!) anyway-carey was a piece o cake-i'm not comparing(well, i guess i really am-but carey is such an easy going kid!-liam is his own breed!) carey just started his sophomore year at bitney springs charter high school-his first shot at regular 5 day a week school(home schooled his whole life)-he seems to be sooo excited as he is super social-unlike the rest of us-just give us a rock to crawl under and we'll come out on the full moon-dance a jig and retreat for awhile. hermits unite!!
my new etsy shop has been fun-i've even sold a few things-halla-effin-luia!!!! i still have more to upload but just no time. my favorite merino roving sold-the one i was gonna save for me but thought-what the heck- no one is gonna love yellow as much as me-it won't sell, than i can use it when i have the time. the color just looked pretty in my shop. it was the first thing to sell-i sadly wrapped it up and kissed it goodbye-lesson learned. here's a pic:
inspired by my neighbors yard in spring. but i would like to give a big thanks to all that support my small wooly business-hugs to you all!

last night i had a slumber party with my dearest friends-J&S. beer, talk, boy george, tears, laughs galore, no sleep, cheese, bread-salami -that grossed me out. our schedules are so busy we get to do this maybe 4 times a year if we are lucky. i treasure these times-i love you guys! you help me endure life. we are like three happy hens when we are together.
i leave you with this image a friend sent me eons ago-meant to post sooner-thanks ken! it's a knitted car. click on link below. go gurl!

I have noticed this month that blogs seem to hinge on the academic year. What does that say about bloggers?!

I hear you on school starting. I mean not that I have kids but I work at the library and ours starts wed! So early! Right now I think I shelve for hours on end b/c everyone is returning their books before school starts.

I understand the school stress out thing. We started school on Thurs and I have been crazed ever since. Anxiety in my house is at an all time high during the first couple of weeks of school. You need to have a couple of those homebrews!
