Hallelujah! I can see the floor! Well, at least part of it, in my craft room. It helped a lot that I took out a bunch of stuff that literally just got shoved in there while we were cleaning out Carrie’s room, baby-proofing the living room, frantically tidying for company, and so on. There’s actually a lot more stuff that doesn’t belong in there, and once that’s out it might be possible to put away the things that do belong in there. The spinning wheel and wool, which used to live in the living room and which I will someday have the time and skill to use, are now going to live in the corner of my bedroom. I can’t stand the thought of them being in the basement. That’s where all the spiders are.
I’m also knitting a bit again. I’m past the halfway point on the baby poncho I started a couple of weeks before Carrie was born. I’ve been sneaking in a few rows whenever Carrie’s playing on the floor – I figure if she’s engrossed in exploring a toy, it’s not like I need to be constantly interacting with her, and I can do my own thing as long as I’m keeping an eye on her. Anyway, I only have about 75 more rows to go on the body of it, and then a collar and fringe. (I thought about leaving the fringe off, but I think Carrie will enjoy playing with it.)
