assorted thoughts
Jan. 19th, 2006 10:28 ammr. flea and I both are in sore need of haircuts. Maybe Casper too - her front parts still are not as long as her back parts, although it's not truly mullety anymore.
My favorite Christmas present is the mittens my mother knitted me out of Debbie Bliss 'baby cashmerino' - they are true red and so soft and make me happy.
Casper punished me for going out to The Federal with the Park Mommies last night by crying "I want my mommy" from 9-9:45 when I got home, then nursing for 10 minutes until I cut her off, then crying "I want more nursie" for 45 minutes. Oh was it a fun night. AND the Federal had run out of desserts by the time I could order.
I ordered some quilting fabric last weekend to make a quilt for the armadillo. I am thinking of some 9-patch variation - maybe in multiple sizes - with white (I found some patterned whites) alternationg with bright cobalts and fuschias in dottish patterns from Kaffe Fassett.
I am currently in the middle of 3 books: Jared Diamond 'Collapse' (in the home stretch), my intermittent perusal of Katharine White's gardening book, and I, Claudius. Just ran across Anne Garrels' Naked in Baghdad in the stacks, so I've nabbed that.
