MARCH 11, 2010--I actually " shop-vac'd" the greenhouse today, moving plants around, re-potting, too--it was 60 degrees! Then I wrestled three rottweilers in my bathtub--they needed baths, pedicures and didn't seem to appreciate the "pampering." And no, it wasn't all at once, but if you had seen the bathroom following their "spa-day"," well you would have wondered. I received some beautiful squares today from Bev in Colorado--and yes, Bev, we're still knitting! Ruth thanks for the blankets--and Jody, if you read this, thank you and your group of knitters and crocheters in Yspsilanti.
Anyone who doesn't knit or crochet but wants to help our efforts--we need yarn (any color) and space bags--we appreciate all who read, look and consider! We accept yarn remnants--that is the ends of skeins and knitting and crocheting projects--as they can make a square. Often we have people who want to help, but they're short on funds. Your donations of yarn go to them. . . . And these yarn donation often--if there's a lot of one color--go to putting the blankets together. We're making do, using up and sending along!
MARCH 8, 2010--So it's sunny and has been for days in Northern Michigan; everyone is pinching themselves and suffering from "seed catalogue" fever, knowing full well we have a few snowstorms left in the future. My now-grown sons' fondest memories are of snow days in April, spent shoveling us out of the house and watching the snow fall all day rather than dealing with math! I have a lot of need-to-dos this week--need to start taking pictures of blankets, need to get tax work together, need to put together blankets faster, and so on. . . Hope all reading this are well. . . I am hoping for some new episodes of favorite-to-knit-by television shows: American Pickers, any ghost hunting shows though some are definitely better than others, Saving Grace and The Closer (When do the new episodes begin????), Nurse Jackie, United States of Tara, Dancing with the Stars and some new movies. . . . .after the Oscars. . . I need to see some movies. By the way, my son and a dear friend saw Alice in Wonderland and both confirmed--WOW!
MARCH 4, 2010--Hey, we're making progress on our goal. Not too much to report except that we're glad to hear people are remembering the Haitians are still in dire circumstances despite not hearing regular news reports about Haiti anymore. Rainy season begins soon, and most people are still outdoors in temporary tents. Now's the time the relief needs to continue, prevail and provide sustenance for the people.
MARCH 3, 2010--Diane and Canyon Villa, the boxes arrived yesterday--thank you! Also thanks to Jody and the women in Ypsilanti who are now helping with our project. Not much going on here except for a thaw. . .should be 40 degrees this weekend. I am going through seed catalogues, and I have lemons on my lemon tree in the greenhouse! Been putting blankets together, sorting squares (some great new ones), and reading a bit. I am hooked on James Rollins. . . .Between grading papers and reading the course assignments, he lets my mind escape!
