Dark mark scarf pictures

Pictures of the scarf. It is so very subtle. I hope the recipient can actually see it. :) I think he will really love it. I did explain how it works too, so he didn't think I just sent him a scarf. 



Still working on the lace stole. I haven't wanted to knit or do anything at all the past few days. I have been knitting, but my heart hasn't been in it. There is so much I want to get done! So many things I HAVE to get done. I'd rather sleep, or visit a couple of people I miss.

Toodles.

Busy Business

The keys to my new office are in my hands (or on my keyring). :) I should be able to start moving stuff in on June 17th. I'm hoping to be mostly ready to start seeing patients on June 25th. It might be more like the beginning of July, but getting a deadline for myself is probably a good thing.

I finished the Death Mark scarf. It turned out pretty well, though I did wash the super wash. It is wicked soft now, but a bit fuzzy. I think I'll see if taking my depiller (like my coined word?) to it will help. It is still drying after being blocked. Not the best blocking job ever, but not bad considering I didn't have wires, only a crapload of pins. I will get a picture up soon.

I also have been trying to see about creating a wine cozy, I think I have a picture already up, that I could sell. Trying to see how fast I can go so that I can make them affordable. There is a little wine place that might sell them, but I'll have to have my set up all ready to go. We'll see how it really goes. I am so tempted to make a bunch of baby socks too and try to find a place to sell them in town. No clue where. At least I could be doing something to make cash between patients and marketing/networking opportunities.

I have a whole list of things to do. I wish that I had someone to reliably bounce ideas off of, but I do not. :( Well, people do come along, just not always reliably. Everything will work out is my new mantra.

Toodles. Gotta head to an appointment. I hope that my landlord has our toilet fixed by the time I get home. Til then, I am at the mercy of other's toilets. :)

Toodles!

New office!?

Whee! I have a potential new office space! Terrifying really because I don't even have patients yet, but still thrilling. It seems the best option for the money and I am sure that it will work for what I need initially.

Got to pull together a better budget. Gosh, I hope I can remember everything!

I also need to STICK to my budget. :) Got some groceries today and am making a, hopefully amazing, lentil soup. It always smells delightful, but sometimes isn't as delightful in taste. I should get my housemate's girlfriend to make us Dahl and ship it. Her dahl is amazing and I would totally pay for that stuff! Got some other stuff too, which should last the week. I have a bad habit of going to the store and grabbing things as I need them, when I could actually start cooking again and save a lot of money. Oh cooking. The lentil soup isn't even hard to make.

Blah blah, I just felt like chatting with whoever actually reads this. I need to come up with some more blog posts for one of my other blogs and get content for my website as well. I decided no TV (which is pretty much only Netflix right now) during the day. I started watching a medical drama last night (oh what a huge, gigantic 28 week premie). It is tolerable, though I think I will be mocking them heartily, see parenthetical premie comment above. Considering that is why I watch medical dramas, this is a good thing.

I haven't been finishing that scarf. The edges are looking kind of funky and I am hoping that blocking will fix them. If not, well I'm not sure what I'll do. I'm just going to finish and see how I like it. Other than that, no handy crafts at all. Oy.

Now that I've taken my "break", I need to get back to that budget. Toodles!
