Honest, I tried posting earlier this week and I clicked "publish" and poof! my post was lost!! I got fed up and went on with my day but now, I'm feeling a little guilty so I'll post today. I don't really remember what the post was about so...shrug. Last week, I was feeling a little discouraged and blue. I had scheduled a coffee meet with a friend for Monday but she called to cancel and reschedule for Tuesday. Cool. I can do that and later I had a dinner event in Orange County so that's doable. Then I texted a customer/acquaintance about products then followed it up with a let's meet up for lunch soon. She texted back right away that she was off today (Tuesday) and could meet. I thought sure...it's on the way to OC. So I met my friend, V for breakfast and coffee at Kings Hawaiian in the morning. I didn't want to eat too much so I noshed on her chicken and waffles. That was yummy. Got an errand done and then I was off to Huntington Beach to meet L. I've never met her in person so this was going to be interesting. I had so much fun with L and so glad I made that little extra effort to squeeze it in my schedule. Next I was off to OC to meet up with J and N. I was inspired to really work my biz and I can't treat it like a hobby anymore. J made a great dinner of chicken curry, pork miso and brown rice. She made an ambrosia salad, Filipino style and I really enjoyed it. I brought along my Fireball mini-cupcakes and during the long day, the icing melted a bit but still very tasty. So the lesson of the day was to say yes because you never know what will happen. I need to take more opportunities and see where it takes me.
Hi again! Popping in again to see how much you missed me because I miss blogging/vlogging but there are not enough time in the day for all that. As you probably noticed I'm not the most focused person since I have way too much side projects so I'm learning to narrow it down and find the ones that give me joy. Life is too short. So on to the fun stuff...my LA Kings have been knocked out of the playoffs so on to my side projects. Our cats get to go outside occasionally and with the warmer weather, Shadow the black cat has been bringing me dazed & confused lizards into the house. Luckily, I've seen them so I can round them up and put them back outside minus their tails (also outside).
I've been knitting which is always nice. A pair of hand warmers for a teenage boy and another planned for his brother. No, they're not my boys but it'll make nice presents this Christmas.
I haven't knit socks in a very long time since my feet only like hand knit socks for lounging at home during winter so I was intrigued by my friend's Tanya designs. She asked for test knitters so I volunteered. I have a month to finish them so it works to add a little time crunch for me.
Here are the socks that are short socks and will hopefully fit a family member for Christmas. Now I'm on to my next project which is mindless knitting that I've casually joined another friend in our Noro knitting. Noro is a Japanese yarn that many have a love/hate relationship. Love the long color ways and many hate the rustic feel with little twigs/sticks and knots. I love the Noro for certain projects and I almost always keep the finished items for myself. Stay tuned on my latest project. Striped Baktus.
