The car, she is back. The mechanic did not charge me for the fix, which was a cracked spark plug. However, it is STILL stuttering, particularly when the air conditioning is on and it is in drive, especially when accelerating from a stop or idling with my foot on the brake. Grr.<\/p>\n

My mother has offered a knitting-for-shoes trade, wherein she will supply the money so that I can buy a good pair of shoes and I will knit her something, probably a handbag.<\/p>\n

<\/center>
\nI made her this small purse in 2004, allegedly for her birthday which is in June, but it actually didn’t get delivered until Christmas. Note also lining sewn in inside-out. Linings are not my strong suit.<\/p>\n

It also has the button pictured to the right, which I tried like heck to find out about, but I never really learned more – just that I really liked it and it seemed perfect for the bag. As with all gifts I make for people I love, I dithered over it for hours. Fortunately, the staff at The Sewing Bird<\/a> knows me and is patient.

\nThe yarn is a little darker and more subtle than it looks here, so it’s more of a winter bag, and we’re into warmer weather now. I threatened to eBay the remaining Noro Daria<\/a>, which was difficult on the needles, but still have it in my stash. It may have been a pain to work with, but it sure turned out pretty, and I’d use it again for the right person. Noro, I wish I could quit you!<\/p>\n

My mother has also graciously offered to watch our daughter tomorrow afternoon. The hubby and I get a day together! Yay! So we’re going to get lunch somewhere nice and go see X-Men 3. I haven’t heard the best reviews from our local critic, but who cares? It’s a grownup movie and we’ll be together. Life is good.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
