Relaxing day today.
Today for the first time in nearly two years, I slept past 9:30am. The Mr. got up with the Girly (he does that at least once or twice on his days off so that isn't new) and I actually slept in really late. I feel so decadent.
I finished off the first ball of brown right at the end of a row. I think if I knit the majority of this ball, I'll be able to felt it and still have a decent sized bag. I did a smaller brown repeat at the beginning so I can end with a few rows of brown and sew those ends together, then I'll have vertical stripes for the body. I still have about 3/4 of the blue ball, but I think I'll have to phone Caryll's and see if she'll drop another ball in the post for me. I hope she will, because I would like handles and a edging for the top in blue, with a blue and brown base. I don't think I'll put stripes on the base though. I'm looking through some of the books and magazines I bought at the library sale for inspiration. I love how this bag is looking and I can't seem to get interested in knitting anything else.
There were butterflies at Grandma and Grampa's house.

Isn't it lovely to be able to sleep in and not have to worry about the kids. You're a lucky gal!

Ahhh, sleeping in, these are the little joys of life! Your bag is coming along really pretty, looking forward to seeing it once it's all finished!
