For anyone who may be wondering, I have been working on my scarf quite a bit.
I’m now not sure that I am as crazy about the color as I was when I started, but I’ll finish it and then bestow it upon some one who loves me. I’ve actually been enjoying it and it has helped me to learn to relax. You simply cannot knit if you are bouncing off of walls. I mean, you can, but it isn’t pretty in the end.
The knitting has come to school board meetings with me, town meetings and has been keeping my hands occupied when I watch TV and just when I need to sit down and zen out. I use it as a total de-stress tool. Sometimes I pick it up and just do a row.
What do you do to de-stress when life is pulling you down?

In other news, I managed to get 5 loads of laundry done, after ignoring it most of the week, and I made a triple batch of chili, which we will have for dinner tonight, and then I will freeze several meals worth for Hubby. You see I decided to breed Anneliese again and so when she goes into heat in May, I will be going to Germany!
I will spend time with my Uschi, and we will enjoy the sights, sounds and foods of Germany in the spring. Anneliese will spend two days with her “husband” Isegrim, and hopefully come home pregnant.
So, I have been cooking and freezing meals for my wonderful husband, so he doesn’t have to eat at McDonald’s every night.
After all, Anneliese could surprise us all and go into heat at any time.

Monday is the big day. I am pulling down my curtains and washing them. I’m in spring mode and all of the household curtains need to be taken down, washed, dried and put back up! Then I can take a deep breath and enjoy the smell of clean!

I watched the movie Babe today. What a precious story that is. I liked that so much more than yesterday’s movie, “Crazy Heart”. I like simple stories with characters I can relate to.
Love your scarf’s color!! I am ready to pack warm things away, though 🙂
You sound busy as always and full of projects, good for you!
I love the color! It’s beautiful! I Love to knit, but I love Crocheting even more! It really helps my stress level. Love YOU, Mel
I like your scarf too. You´ve done so much already! My little pot holder is only about half done. 🙂
When I do my curtains, I hang them up wet and they dry on the rod. Makes the house smell so good and you don´t need to iron them.
I am impressed by your knitting skills! (I wish I was close enough to you to put a bid in on that scarf!) I was taught to knit by my Granny as a child but never mastered it. I always ended up with WAY more stitches than I started with! My de-stresser of choice is logic problems – I find that I need something that takes up my whole concentration to stop me fretting about other stuff. Husband thinks I am mad.
Take care of yourself, too! Wolf has spring fever…he is in a crazy mood, trying to get fresh with my leg! I had to put him in his crate for a bit.
I like the color of your scarf ! but if you continue it will be as long as from you to me ! I have no patience for knitting !
I need to take my curtains down too and clean them too! Why’d you SAY that?
Your scarf IS coming along! Wow! I’m impressed! I think you should KEEP it! At least until you make another one that you DO like! 🙂
I knEW you’d be announcing a hopeful new litter soon! You can’t BE without puppies for long! And since Greta isn’t having anymore… I suspect you’ll be keeping a female here shortly so that you’ll be back to having TWO breeders again soon too! Uh-huh! I bet!
LOVIN the scarf…
How much do you charge out for doing laundry??
