Progress

I’ve been whittling away at that book pile.

This week has felt like a jumble of books and boxes.  I’m not used to all of this business at one time!  But there’s good news.  The book pile is…

…nearly gone!  I just have to weigh this last batch, print the postage, and plop them down on the front steps for my poor, persecuted letter carrier to take.  I tell you, she was none too happy with me yesterday.  The kids and I even helped carry the boxes to her truck, but still – not a smile out of her.

Oh well.  At least this is the last batch, right?

Well, sort of.  These boxes are all from the weekend’s orders.  I still have to pack up Monday-Thursday orders… At least those are not going to be so heavy.

I’m sorry, Ms. Mailman. Please forgive me!

On another note…

Aidan’s sweater is coming along.  I finished the first sleeve last night – just one more sleeve and a hood left to go! I rewarded myself in the form of a little break from stockinette, and cast on for these Trenza Mitts.  I think I can finish them in time for my mother-in-law’s birthday in nine days.   I think they’ll go nicely with this neckwarmer I made her a few years ago.  Oh, it’s going to be nice to work with cables for a change!

P.S. Like that neckwarmer? In case you missed it, I wrote up a tutorial + video blog about it last week.

The kids have today and tomorrow off.  I’m hoping to get out from under books & boxes and do something fun with them soon.  Wish me luck!
