Its all true, the boogie girl is real, and you've found her. She knits, sews, spins, does pottery and writes it all down in this blog.

Its not raining or pouring and the lady here wishes she was snoring
I’m exhausted. I could run through the list of why, but its boring. I’m tired but I feel as though I didn’t get much done. I had a ton of stuff on my sewing table that needed to be finished and I just didn’t have enough time to get the orders out and now I don’t have the energy to continue. Have I ever explained my theory of how kids get so much energy, no? They suck their energy from the adults around them, the more adults, the more energy they have. Although my girl seems to choose to cull her energy needs from me. Tomorrow is another day and I will hopefully get to work without too many interruptions. I spent a bit of time today with a neighbor who gave me some fab cloth 
The green is going to be a little sundress for me, and the pink is going to be made into totes and other knitting accessories. The rest of the items have not gotten a purpose yet but I couldn’t pass it up, Pretty pretty fabric, must be mine, must come home with me….. I also talked to my brother today which was nice as I don’t get to talk to him much. My sales rep for my pottery also called. I think I was a little less than enthused because she emailed questioning if I wanted her to sell for me. Hell yeah! I was so tired I guess I came off as a little poopie, hey it happens. She is planning on pushing my stuff to some big customers. I’m hoping to be very busy this year. Its hard because I used to work knowing I was going to have a ton of business, so I’d plan the minimal amount of shows knowing I would be busy. Since 911 I’ve been planning more shows and barely keeping ahead of the bills. I’m hoping everyone’s enthusiasm means its going to swing back the other way. I want to be busy. Go see my pottery. And now go see my ebay. I actually only started ebay because pottery had slowed down, I've sewed all my life but never intended to sell my original creations, I always gave it away. I need to set some more time aside for pottery. I’ve been working so much on the ebay items and I have such great ideas to incorporate knitting into my pottery. I need to get going on it. So right here and now, yes just this second, I am making a new goal, by Feb1 I will have some new pottery to show off if not to sell.
And last night I felt so disenchanted with the Sonnet sweater I started a new one. Don’t get me wrong, Sonnet is a nice sweater and a good design, I’m just tired of working on it. I did get a couple of rows done and the new one is from stitch and bitch, the skull sweater. I don’t have much done on anything. I need to keep my eyes open long enough to work on them. 
Impressed?
No?
Give me time and I will love it, knit it into something beautiful. And then wear the hell out of it.
Ruthann it was nice to have you commenting. Thank you for the story, I know it helps my gram to crochet, I have so many blankets I will remember her for years after she is gone just by keeping myself warm. Good luck with your knitting adventures and I hope you get a chance to get back to the computer someday :)
