"Oh the grass is green Everywhere but under me"

I haven't been feeling very chatty or very crafty lately.  I have been working on stuff for some friends and am either waiting for official photos or am waiting to ship the gifts off before I can share.  In fact this afternoon I have to put the finishing touches on a couple of things before I mail them tomorrow (I keep saying this so we'll see).

Tomorrow I also need to start another hedgehog.  I swore I would give this pattern a break (the loop stitch it uses eventually turns me into whiny knitting girl because it's a bit slow and odd), but it's too cute and it's been requested by JB as a gift for someone.  After that I'm back to trying to clear out my queue and backlog or WIPs (story of my life).

January was a bit of a book month which continued into this month.  Currently I'm a quarter of the way through the Complete Works of Sherlock Holmes and half way through The Golden Compass.  This had lead to a bit of a Sherlock kick and really hasn't helped my obsession with period fashion.  I'm already planning out summer sewing projects that in no way involve my poor unsewed winter wardrobe or the two summer refashions I started last year.

I think the biggest thing is the rekindling of my farm!love.  I can't stop thinking about spring and gardens, baby chicks and canning.  I keep catching myself staring at the ceiling grinning like an idiot.  It doesn't help I've recently picked my clarinet back up again.  I've missed it so much, but all the practicing seems to be bringing out my dreamier side. Oops.
