Life's a Stitch

And more recently life’s a creative adventure with some travel thrown in.

We had a record low number of trick or treaters this year – five in all. We live in a  very hilly community and the parents are known for driving their kids to where the houses are closer together and the roads are flat. I know of people who turn off their lights after 300 kids. Halloween started nicely, though, with a RAOK card from Liz.

I have caved and done the popular activity of googling my name followed by the word "needs:"

Li needs to read up on myths in education.

Li needs a lil edge.

Li needs to dip "his" hands into the painted element.

Li needs more kicking!

Li needs to give you a leftover throw update:

Giving in to the family’s threats of not going out in public with me if I wore my leftover shawl, I turned the project into a throw, necessitating the purchase of more yarn. Since this was supposed to be an economical project I put the following stipulation on the purchased part – it must be on sale. Those who know me know that I hate paying full price for anything and the hunt for the bargain is as fun as the purchase itself. So, between Michael’s coupons, last week’s sale at Hellen’s and a .99 basket at my LYS (that’s a first), the second photo shows the bought part of the project:
