Stitch markers, fishsticks, and jello
I managed to give myself a friction burn right in the middle of my right hand ring finger when I was turning yesterday, which has got to qualify as one of the worst places to get a nice swollen blister. Luckily I’m left handed so it doesn’t impede all of my activities, but I am taking some time off of turning to let it heal up.
I made wire and chip bead stitch markers for myself, and they are pretty– so I made some extras. I’m out of wire now and it took the life of an aluminum knitting needle, but terribly proud of myself.
The kidlets and I had fish fillet and tater-tots for dinner because Lexi likes to mix things, and I needed a few minutes to wash dishes, and darnit when you have tater-tots and fish fillet you really need to have some tartar sauce with it. Lexi loves to mix things, so my little tartar sauce mixer was occupied long enough for me to wash, dry and put away dishes– that has to be some kind of record.
Besides isn’t it fun to be a little naughty and have lunch food for dinner?
Then we had jello, or rather “Artificially Flavored Gelatin Dessert Mix”, it’s orange flavored. It’s usually disgusting stuff, but under the influence of cold medicine I’m game. I did top it with apricots in the hopes of making it a bit healthier and the apricots definitely improved the flavor and texture. I think I might have actually liked it.
Cough syrup rocks.
Sounds like that cough syrup sure is smoothing out all the bumps on your road tonight!
Those stitch markers are really pretty!
Thanks, yes– cough syrup is good stuff. I switched to Buckley’s (it’s the awful tasting stuff) though because I had to get some work done.
