one thing i'd buy if i could

TIME!

i hate to admit it, but i now have 3 projects going. i started a prayer shawl as a gift for my rcia sponsor. when our trip to ireland was getting closer, i started a gift for my "sister-in-law" (sorry to put it in quotes lindsay, but you know....) as a graduation present. i've just started a four week class @ the library working on a medium size felted purse & cell phone holder. so i guess the first two projects are on hold until the class is over. next i'd like to try my hand @ socks -nice xmas presents, i think. hats too. there are just so many projects i want to make & never enough time in the day!

and that's it for knitting. i have a shawl i'm crocheting with this beautiful ribbon. i can't quite get the instructions right so i keep ripping out to start anew. maybe if i had more than 10 minutes at a time to sit down, i might figure it out. hmmmm, maybe have to put that one on hold for the next few years! hahaha!

finally, i've got a fleece robe to sew. actually, i had started it for nikki! when she was younger but never finished b/c school absorbed most of my time -free or otherwise. weeeeeeeell, i've been out of school for 4 years now! and the robe will fit maddie very nicely -when i finish it. of course, if i wait long enough it'll fit fiona or lib hehehehe.
