Selina's craft world

I have been pretty busy the last few days since we’re house sitting, so there’s lots to do. Combined with me not having slept well for the last few days, life is … different I could not stitch due to the lack of sleep, but I did some spinning and finished the singles for my dad’s XMAS gift today. Snoopy decided to be the quality supervisor and checked them out. I think he has not too pleased with the evenness, but he let it pass.

Speaking of that cute, little sunshine … he has no his own blog. He thought it’d be nice if his life was better documented in some way. So please hop over to the Life of Snoopy and leave him some lovely comments I am sure he’ll be thrilled.

Today’s doggy ..

.. progress. I finished the head and can now move to the body and ball of yarn.

I am feeling very very bad, so not much chatting/talking/anything But today, I got something to make me smile. Our own Snoopy is now officially a disapproving bunny. Not that we did not know that yet

Even more doggy …

.. on my lovely Traveler. Still undecided if it’s going to be 2 or 3 plied. Some parts of it are thin enough to make a lovely three plied yarn and other pats are thick enough for a beautiful two plied yarn. I guess I will have to spin it all and then see what I’d like more.

More Doggy with knitting

I could have stitched more today, but it’s getting dark and I have some eye problems. I will start stitching earlier tomorrow, so I can do more …

More stitching ..

I did not get to stitch as much today, as I had to clean, wash lots of clothes and cook. Add a headache to it and the mix is complete. Anyway, here’s the photo.

I also did some spinning, but it’s not worth mentioning as it was only a few yards.

Blue Jeans Merino

I started spinning this a few days ago, but only spin a little a day. I had planned to spin it into a three plied sock yarn for my dad for XMAS, but my first singles seems to be too thick and too uneven to make sock yarn. It does not feel like sock yarn either. I might only do a two ply yarn …

Dog RR progress

It’s coming along alright, even though I am horribly late and feel even more horrible for it

No kidding. I am serious. See:

My job search is going bad, alas my mood is pretty lousy ….. Nothing better to cure a sadness than a shopping therapy, right? Right. I got yet another new cell phone. No, I do not need more than one, but a certain father was unable to operate his new cell phone and then took mine. My new one is a Nokia N82. I especially like the built-in Maps which I can also download for free to the phone, the GPS built-in and the camera. Oh, and it can do the telephone thingy, too.

I have been RAKed ..

.. with beautiful blue Alpaca yarn, some Kool Aid for dying/drinking and a knitting needle measure thingy. Thanks so much, dear Lisa. You sure made my day after four rejections in my job search.
