It seems that the harder I try to plan and always, always intend to sit down and blog at least a few lines about whatever is catching my attention, somehow, it never happens. I also know that one of the keys to blogging regularly is planning, which I’ve thrown aside for the last little while – stream of consciousness anyone??
Like I said in the title, lots of excitement here at Casa Coleman these past few weeks, here are a couple of the high points….
After a run of five little grandgirls in a row, Babymama, Babydaddy, Baby Diva and the Elf are set to welcome a new BABY BOY this summer! We’re all very very excited — think hitting the lottery or winning the Superbowl! At their last ultrasound, Baby Boy cooperated beautifully, allowing a good shot of (ahem) what little boys are made of. 🤗
Next, our Bangkok trip is pretty much upon us; we leave Wednesday – DAY AFTER TOMORROW!!! This is about the time that my anticipation usually gets the best of me and I become very scattered, trying to do too many things at once without really accomplishing anything. I’ve been mentally packing for days and tried on last summer’s shorts just to be sure they still fit (they do! Yay!), next to try – swimsuit – which isn’t something I ever look forward to. ☹️
As usual, I have several things on my needles, but only one WIP that I’ve made real progress on.
All this baby is lacking is the cowl neck and the second sleeve. I’m debating whether or not to carry it to Bangkok, 25-30 hours of flight (knitting) time would just about do it. It’s just a lot of sweater in what I’m afraid will be a small space. Maybe Mr. iknead and I will get lucky and the third seat will be unoccupied, providing me with more elbow room and a place to put all my knitting essentials. It’s happened before. 🤞🤞🤞
Spinning continues on the Summer Palette roving, but should be finished before we leave.
