Lace Panic

Yikes I planned to be done with Clue 3 by today before Clue 6 came out but I am still plugging along on it..The heat , serious house cleaning and today not feeling well has put me further behind. I know it is not a race but I really really want to have this shawl done so I can't start another one. Slow Bee 2 has started along with Goddess Knit free one. I am trying to look at each pattern and follow all the discussions so when I can start I will understand .
Tomorrow is Knit in Public Day at my local yarn shop in Narrowsburg Ny. I am looking forward to it. My spinning group is going to an alpaca farm to demonstrate . Unless I feel better -I am not going.

Too hot/ Bridal Shower

My D' Liz's Bridal Shower this past Sunday
Liz and I are on the left.

The Brides Maids I am hiding in the bedroom with Molly as I type this. This is the only room that has a make shift AC in it. Thanks goodness for the wireless router put in a few weeks ago so there is something to actually do in the bedroom along with knitting. But- the heat has made the Slow Bee Lace even slower. Hard to concentrate in this heat.



I actually cleaned all morning as the thought of the wedding being here in 2 months as started to hit me. 2 bathrooms took all morning long. The curtains, the walls, drawers etc were cleaned thoroughly. Then we replaced a screen that the dogs had ripped with pet screen. That took forever as I was the helper to DH. Now I am staying in this AC room for next few hours to recover and dry up.



Speaking of weddings. I went back to WW last night so the dress fits. I feel like I gained a lot but according to them only a pound so gotta get back on track. Not doing so good though as I bought one of their snack boxes last night and ate the whole thing already ( 12 points is 2 meals!) This heat makes salads look blah and chocolate tempting.



My D's bridal shower with her Albany friends was last Sunday. She was so beautiful that day. It is unbelievable how fast she has grown up into a mature and responsible women. To me- me is the perfect daughter and friend whom I love more than I could ever imagine possible.
