Finally, photos! Stich marker madness:














As you can see, once I got started I couldn't stop. I think I have sufficient stitch markers for a while. They are too much fun to make.

I don't know why the last picture came out a bit blurry, maybe because I was standing on my toes with less than my first cup of coffee in me while taking them? Standing on my toes, you ask? Yes, I tried various places to get decent light - the first results in the living room were utterly horrendous - and ended up posing my little marker friends on the high "bar" area of my kitchen counter and the lid of a white plastic box. I'm in the kitchen at 5 a.m. in my pajamas, taking pictures of small beaded things on my kitchen counter, slightly afraid I'm losing my mind, but realizing that in knitblogger world this behavior is perfectly normal. If I'm losing my mind, I'm in very good company.

This weekend I must force myself to do yard work. I just have to. I have to at least weed and mulch the front landscaping, it's sooo ugly out there. I've asked my yard mowing guy to do it but he hasn't gotten around to it, or forgot, or something, and I'm not going to ask him again. I can fit enough bags of mulch in the trunk, I can do it myself. I hate yard work. If I didn't like my neighborhood so much I'd be thinking condo at this point, but I like where I am too much to move. So instead I will mulch. And call my Home Improvement Guy and figure out when he can get back here, now that most storm repairs are over, and take care of something trivial like repairing/replacing my sprinkler system so I can actually water the grass, so I can then spend more money on re-sodding the front yard. It's endless.
