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.

I cleaned the house today
No, nothing really special, just a bit proud of myself for actually doing a good, move the furniture kind of cleaning. Yes, it did deserve to be a title. I really hate to clean. People that know me may think the title needs to be even bigger.
This first bit is just pure bragging. I can't help it. In my little living room, one wall, 7+ feet high and about 10 feet long, blank. I've often thought of painting a mural or hanging some lovely art. I still may but for right now there is a better use. 
Click! If you look carefully you can see the light switch to the right of the game. Yup, that's 6 feet of game. At times if you stand next to it, it feels as though you can reach out and kiss them. Yes, I've always had a thing for hockey, earning me the fond nickname of "puck slut". Only as a joke though because I happen to be very chaste. It was a sad game 7. I love my Bruins but they are out of the series. I may just have to cheer on the Avs with Marta.
Go Colorado! 
I finished M's sweater in a hurry. Cute. No? I'm still thinking it may be too short. This child is growing like a weed. The next item I'm making for her will be a tank top and that will be just fine if it shows a little belly. In fact its the style. I'll still make it long but I guarantee by the end of summer it will look like a crop top.
Any recommendations? I can't decide on a good top for my little bug
So, what made me finish her sweater in a hurry? This.....
The minute that M's sweater was off my needles, I put on Kate and knit away. I didn't get far but I feel better just having started it. Oh, if you click on the pic you will see the other sweaters from this magazine I want to make. Which happens to be half the magazine. In case you haven't gotten it yet, this may toss you over the edge. There, that's my warning and that's all you get. I know you will look anyway, its a compulsion, you have to. I've found myself clicking even when I don't care. Why? Its knitting stuff, its yarn, I'm in a trance and I have no choice. 
Just so you can see I've been doing other things. I have other artsy pieces in the works. I love making pottery. I love making pottery for a living. This piece is heading out to a charity auction.
