I got the sweetest package in the mail yesterday from the lovely cia, of cia's palette. She knitted this wee sweater, which she hoped would fit a dolly in the house. . . and look at it on Madeline! It's like it was made for her. Or me, I love the color and the collar, I really want one for myself! Thanks so much Cia! The deer are staying out-at least until spring, because it's still winter and I can't put them away.
Hooray, it's Friday! I got through the first week at home with the girls since Pete went to work downtown, and it's been just fine. There was an incident at Costco where I forgot the pin number on my debit card, had no cash or checks, called the bank on the phone (and no, they won't give out the pin), was almost in tears, the girls were fine, but really, I couldn't stop sweating when they really starting fussing, and so I left , temped to just run out the door, but instead had them hold the grocery cart full of weird stuff in the freezer (yes, the socks and cheese got frozen) and then we all went back later when dad got home. Sweet.
Okay-mailorder is in the works, so look for updates here on the blog for now. I am trying to get a mailing list set up that is a 3rd party thing, because I can't really handle sending them all out in batches-so, if you have signed up on my kingpod mail-list, you may get a 3rd party asking if you want to stay on it-I'm not sure who I am using, free would be nice, but notify.com hasn't gotten back to me yet about integrating a existing list. . .and I don't totally understand how yahoo groups does this-need to explore more.
thanks again for all the enthusiasm this week! and if I can get the sweater pattern out of cia's genius brain, I will post it for sure!
