Playing catch up this summer


Elizabeth hams it up for the deli counter ladies.
It's been hectic these past few months. Elizabeth is just about 15 months old and, well, a handful. I've finally relocated her toys to her room so I don't spend an additional two hours every night trying to clean up the house. A few of my "normal" tasks are to check all the cabinets to make sure she hasn't stashed a sippy cup or two in them. Her new thing is to wedge herself between me and whatever I'm doing. Like any child her age, whatever I'm working on, she wants to get between me and it and relocate all the pieces. Working with yarn is especially difficult because I used to sit on the couch to work, but now she can climb up on the couch... so then I end up standing at the kitchen counter trying to work... well, as well I can with Elizabeth pushing me back from the counter.


This probably explains why I haven't been able to get new designs done. By the time she's gone to bed, I'm pretty much mentally & physically shot and end up on the couch in a somewhat vegetative state until I fall asleep. I've been in this house since April and I still haven't been able to set up my studio... but she is just so darn... huggable.
