I am participating in a birthday swap. My buddy lives in Austrailia. She is a crocheter. I decide to take this opportunity to teach myself to felt my knitting.
So I knitted a simple 3 striped bag using Knitpicks Wool of the Andes. I also used a knobby knitter to make 2 six inch handles. I then seamed up the bag and securely placed the handles on. I then placed the knitting in a mesh laundry bag. I put my washer to hot/ cold, small load. I placed 3 pairs of pants. I let the washer fill up and then placed the mesh bag in the washer. I then check up on my knitting every 5 minutes. I had to fill up the washer once, it took about 30 minutes of aggitation to get it to perfection. I then stuffed a book into the bag that just stretched it a little. The bag is now about 1/2 the width, and 1/3 the length of the orginal knit bag. I took it outside and let it dry in the sun.
So my friend had a falling out with his girlfriend. His girlfriend was cheating on her husband with him. And he was told that she was only with him for his insurance....well that's another story. He sold me her leather gloves, and HJC small helmet, for half price $80. Both of which fit me perfectly. He also gifted me the small jacket for free. So I have been riding passanger on his motorcycle for the past week. May I say AWESOME. It is such a great mind release. The wind blowing past, and a experienced rider to make sure my inexperienced butt doesn't get hurt. He says I am very intuitive rider and not his worst rider.
MIL problems:
My MIL called and told me she wanted to pick up the girls for a walk and time at a park. I confronted her and said that I would not let her see the girls in that capacity until she apologized for calling me a "Bi***." Instead of apologizing, she told me that I was actig like one. She had refused to let me look through My husband and mine papers that were collected from my ex-husbands house. I need to find some papers to file my taxes. And instead of let me go through it she has reused to let me come and look. She says she is trying to help me but her help is not helping but causing me to have to file for an extension for my income taxes. She then stared to say that this was all my fault. I had stolen her son away and that it is my fault he is now in jail. She even went so far as to accuse me of cheating on him. I yelled I never cheated, and then hung up on her. It hurts me so much but I just think she is selfish and trying to blame anything on others.
Hot Apple Cider:
I have found a great new local place called the Yellow Deli. It is open 24/5 and my favorite thing on the menu is Hot Apple Cider. Kind of a kooky place but it still serves awesome food, has great atmosphere, and very polite service staff.
