Oh my goodness I'm skipping days!  I don't mean to and nothing weird is going on so I don't know what's wrong.  I plan to write and I plan it out in my head then never sit to write it.  Here is the finished niece hat.  I finished the toddler one too and feel kind of stuck now.  The plan was to make some flowers and other things that can be pinned to the hat and switched between the two hats.  The problem is I'm having trouble finding patterns I want to do.  The last thing I am supposed to do for my sister is a tea cosy (is that one word or two?). We are still trying to figure out what pattern so I can't start on that either.  The other thing I need to do is finish the totoros.   I grabbed the one I'm mostly finished with and was disappointed to find that I lost the eyes.  Not that they are hard to redo but it is frustrating.  I think I just kind of needed a break so I'm working on the sock yarn blanket square.  On Sunday, for charity knitting, I made some more baby mitts. All the experiments haven't been working so I was getting tired of working on things.  Wile the baby mitts may be boring I'm o.k. at it and it's better than nothing.  The mitts kind of energized me for more charity knitting.

Mostly on Saturday we sat around and watched TV shows. It was a little bit of everything, Jdrama, anime, and "reality" shows. Sunday I watched Yarnivore.  It was fun to see her soundtrack suggestions.  I'm up to November 2011.  Yesterday I played a little bit of WOW. I feel like I'm not making much progress but I guess I just have to pick at it a little at a time.

I took a short walk on Monday and was kind of sad that I couldn't do it better.  Hopefully it will get easier as I keep working on it.  The only other problem is that Mooky is not doing well in school.  We are going to have some meetings about it and see what we can do to help.  It's been such a cool, mild summer but now it's turning hot when the kids are in school and the buildings around here don't have air. The kids got out a little early on Monday and are now allowed to bring water bottles to school.  Nothing crazy but a bunch of inconvenient things.  I think that's it.  It seems a little short for skipping so many days.  Sorry.  See you next time.
