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.

PMS and Humidity
I know what you are thinking. Amy, this is a knitting blog, let's stay on subject here. I am on subject. Well, if you subscribe to my theory of everything is related to knitting.We'll play the 7 degrees of knitting game.
1.It's been humid here. I think its been humid for a lot longer than I've noticed. I'm not very observant and I just noticed the humidity today. What leads me to believe that its been humid for a lot longer is that my pottery hasn't been drying. I needed to paint some stuff that took far too long to dry for impatient me. I did this task outside today. 2.I have PMS and its super hot. Sweating and uncomfortable I finished my task. I was dying for a cool breeze but nothing so nice happened and it was hotter inside the house. 3. Because of this PMS I think it felt more humid than it was. I'm not sure. All I know is that I was uncomfortable. 4. This PMS also makes me want to knit big bulky comfort clothing.
There, 4 degrees. Not bad, not my best, but not bad. Why do I even mention it? I have PMS, I cannot control myself. Also, I have cotton and cool items on the needles. Fitted and pretty items. Perfect for the weather. I want nothing to do with them. I want to knit some double knit bulky wool bathrobe type of sweater. I want to knit thick thick wool socks. I hope this passes before I actually go downstairs and get out the wool.
I've listed some of my yarns. I haven't planned on making anything specific for sale, just clearing out the babies I don't think I will use and I need the cash.
I still have a couple more to dig out.
Its been a busy week here. I've been trying to get some projects done. I've completed painting a tea set (today's outdoor project) but still need to get it glazed before I can show it off. I've also been in contact with a gallery/studio here in town. They want me to fill a good sized space with my pottery and I'm hoping they will take me on as a pottery teacher. Teaching is something I've always enjoyed doing and really hope they decide to do this.
I haven't had a chance to get any more spinning done, but I have been knitting. One item is a gift. I have a feeling this person might read this. I've noticed other bloggers out there put pictures in their blogs and tell certain people not to look. Let me tell you about my family. I'll give you 2 examples that represent most of them (husbeast is the only non-sneaky one). My Gram and my Mom are classic present peekers. Well, Gram isn't so sneaky these days. Her motto the past few years has been "I'm old and I can do what I want." My Mom on the other hand, likes to be sneaky, she likes the challenge of pulling back that tape on the gift wrap, take a quick peak and then close it up so no one is the wiser. Would you think these ladies would listen if I said "don't look at your present picture behind this link HERE"?
