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 love you
Do you have any doubts?
I'm not sure what made me think of all you dial up users. But I did and I cringed. I remember what it was like, I have nightmares from the memories. So to prove I love you all, I've shrinky dinked all my pictures that are currently showing and I've made it so only the most recent 4 posts show. I am warning you that if you head into my archives I haven't changed a thing there. I'm really too lazy to continue shrinking every picture. Let me know if it helps.
So what have I been up to. I think I've been sitting here spacing out alot. I'm trying to finish up those Opal socks. Mother's Day is coming and I plan to give the momster those. I have no idea what to do for the momster in law. Get her a plant or some flowers? Maybe buy her a certificate for a piercing and tattoo. This will make husbeast laugh. I keep saying one day I'll corrupt his mom. All girls have a wild naughty side. Some just keep it closer to the surface than others.
I've sewn a couple of blankets for critter knitters. I have about 10 cut out for all sizes of animals. I hope to get a few more of those done today.
I'm still having that creative slump as far as knitting goes. I have designs sketched and some written. I also have a million books and all the new magazines, but no yarn I want to use and nothing is really catching my interest. I've also been cruising the blogs to try and get inspiration. I always want the sweater that someone else has. I have found some inspiration but for a few reasons I'm on a strict yarn diet. So for those of you that may be able to buy buy buy I remind you to check out Wendy who has been dancing around with her colinette stash. Knitlette almost got me to buy that teddy bear book. I resisted. I got to the point of only having to click "enter". I had to walk away from the computer and wipe my sweaty nervous brow after that one. Yes, new books are out of the diet right now too. Then of course there is the Audrey and the Kate knit alongs. I'm also strangely drawn to the Cardi raye along. Strange because I couldn't possibly wear all those colors, nor do I know anyone that would be able to wear it but I wouldn't mind knitting it up. Amy is making a sweater I love and she says its easy. Of course I have tha book and I have a WIP from that book that really isn't interesting me right now either. Finally we come to Rogue But I want to make it a cardi like Claudia did last month. I'm sure there are more but a girl can only do so much lusting in one day.
I'm going to "organize" my stash. It does sorely need some attention. I have maternity and office clothes stored there. I need to start to adjust the maternity wear to everyday clothing, but I'm pretty sure that I'm not going to work in an office again and if I do there is no way I will ever be a size 1/2 or 3/4 again. Anyone out there that tiny in need of office wear? If not I'll truck it all off to Goodwill this weekend. My yarn and cloth stash needs more room to breathe. Maybe if I play with it all I'll be struck by something and I don't mean struck by a box falling from the top shelf.
