I didn't take any pictures so here is one of a little bowl I bought at the farmers market this summer.  It's a little clay dish that was being sold as a jewelry holder.  I think it looks like a spindle bowl for supported spindles.  Do I own a supported spindle?  Not really but I had to "rescue" it and I may buy more if they are there this summer.

I did play WOW and get some progress but not much.  I did get my hunter out of Hellfire peninsula and into Zengarmarsh.  I meant to watch Let's Eat today but I felt down and knew that podcasts would cheer me up.  I'm almost done with the shawl.  I have one more row then the cast off.  I'll try and remember to take pictures.

This morning was stressful.  I told the kids to get ready for school and if school was canceled  they could go back to bed.  Sadly my son either misheard or something because he was in bed and was waiting for me to tell him if there was school.  My daughter forgot some of her homework and was finishing it at the last minute.  Between checking the weather, if school was canceled and getting Amey to finish her homework I didn't notice he was in bed till late, I thought he was getting ready.   So I'm trying to get him dressed when he's supposed to be getting his coat on.   Then we discover his snow pants are missing.  I looked everywhere and I can't find them.  I don't think they are at school, they are good about things like that.  So I sent Amey to the bus and kept Mooky home to look for his snow pants.  It's just so cold I didn't feel comfortable having him wait outside without them, if I knew they were missing I would have had him put pajamas under his pants.  My husband came home really quickly and drove him to school.  Mommy is not happy.  I just can't figure out where they went.  My husband will get home and the pants will be right there, that's the way it usually works.

On a lighter note I may have seen the owl again.  I was in a rush so I couldn't be sure.  I was driving on the same stretch of road and saw a bigger bird sitting on a wire.  I would have thought it was a crow but it was rounder in shape than a crow.  I guess that's it for today.  Hopefully I'll have more pictures tomorrow.

See the ice cream cone is almost done.  This was my progress as of Monday.  I'm going to go look for the missing color today.  Do you like my pin stitch markers?

I made a bunch of swatches yesterday. I found out that to get gauge I need to use a size 6 (US) needle.  The problem with that is I'm using my 6 for the shawl.  Since they are interchangeable I can switch them but I think I may need to finish the shawl before I start the sweater.  Well I can start the sweater because it starts with ribbing on smaller needles.  The cabling wasn't really hard either but just "fiddly" for lack of a better word.  Today I will work probably work on the shawl unless I can get the color for Amey's ice cream.

I listened to podcasts yesterday.  I'm caught up on my regular ones and am working on Knitting in Circles.  The sound she adds at the end of "ing" words isn't bothering me so much now.  I love all her geeky shirts. I have some errands so if I have time I'll play WOW.

Tonight we are going back to the SCA.  In the effort to recreate the time periods they do fight. They armor themselves with aluminum, plastic and/or leather and hit each other with big sticks made of rattan (yes the stuff they make furniture out of).  I have been told that it feel like getting hit with a baseball bat, I have no desire to find out myself.  About a year ago the armor on my husband's elbow slipped and he got hit hard.  He is stubborn and didn't get it checked out for a long time so I'm not sure if it ever healed right or completely.   He didn't feel like going for a wile but now he wants to so it looks like we will be busy on Wednesdays again.

I saw and owl yesterday!  It's the first one I have ever seen outside of a zoo.  I wouldn't have seen it because I was driving but my passenger did.  I backed the car up since no one was behind and got a better look.  It was brown and white with a round face.  I though that maybe it was juvenile since it seemed small to me.  It was sitting on a pile of dirty snow next to the road and the brown and white blended in really well (more than you would think).  After I backed the car up it kind of gave an annoyed look and flew off.  When I got home I looked it up and is seemed to be a Barred owl. I hope I get to see more nature things as it gets warmer.

Ok that's all the news for now.  I'll try and write tomorrow.
