Talk of Tuesday

This past weekend I seamed Boogie !!! I have to crochet the edges on the sleeves and around the neck and wala !!!! I am excited because I can actually wear this creation !!! GO ME !!!!!!!!!!! It fits !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am being diligent in cranking out these Wips.I'm doing well, though . Even hubby made comments... I want new projects on the needles for 2007 ! I'll post my 2007 knitting goals in a few days ...Stay tuned...

I have what I call my "work knit" that I can effortlessly work on at my desk while on the long techie phone calls ...I have the scarf that I am making with me today...
It is knit in basic stock. st. The plan is to sew soft, warm fleece on the wrong side so it lays straight ( no curling) and is extra warm and cozy . I am using Noro yarn , but am not sure what exactly because I do not have the label with me. It is snubly and variegates in a way that only Noro can. You know what I mean. I tried to ignore the Noro craze, but last Sp8 , my pal sent me two balls of this funky yarn and that was my intro into Yarn Snob Ville. I know will not buy any ugcrylic . Not because I am a yarn snob, but because I like quality and want lasting, natural knits ... I know there will be those days that I find a real fancy acrylic or a nice blend ..I am not a snob~ I may buy it ...but it must be special ....

CAUTION: proud mom moment :
Last night my son performed a rap song with two other classmates at the city council meeting and dinner.
My city, Bridgeport, was recently chosen as on of the top 100 communities for families. Schools across the city were asked to submit pieces to illustrate what students thought of their community and schools... My son and his 2 friends wrote a rap and entered it into a city contest.. Can I tell you how proud I was to learn that out of over 1200 entries they were finalist! To see my 11 year old getting busy on the mic in front of the city mayor and town officials was a Kodak moment...Talk about proud ...
My son has a great speaking voice and he is a good performer so it was nice to see him shine ....there will be more to come I know ...

Tonight we go to the Holiday concert. I get to each son on the stage with their classmates singing ,this will be great as well. I believe my son will be rapping again. I will try to get their early so I can take some really good pics. We are always the late family ...But I already told them all in 2007 We have to be the early birds....I hate being late .That is one of our family goals for double 07 ( 2007) .

I have been wearing heels lately and as Beyonce says, upgraded my wardrobe. It's really fun to be a girl again. I think I have successfully broke the mommy mode of wearing baggy jeans and hubby's sweats..( ok I still slip into his sweats when I can, they are just so comfy! ) But I have made a real effort of looking good and I do feel good about that .. but today a girl can't wait to get home and slide up out these heels... lol

walk in divine light ~
and happy knitting
