COFFEE IS GOOD!

I just find it amazing what a little coffee in the morning does for my mood. It's only 10 o'clock and i'm happy and bubbly, instead of dead on my feet. Course, it might be the friends and the ravelry thrown in there as well, but I'm surprisingly chipper for a monday. Yay coffee!

Too many patterns, too little time

Summer is here, and all I want to do is knit. I've started the beautiful frost flowers and leaves shawl from a gathering of lace, but thats a stay at home project. I really love doing a few rows each night and seeing the pattern bloom!

I really really want to start a spiderman blanket, but I just don't have the time for two big projects. I have so many things I want to start, and I no longer want to finish my drop stitch lace tank because I spilled something on it. White yarn and orange stain won't go well together. Plus the yarn is not good to work with like I'd hoped.

I really want to buy a cotton blend or bamboo yarn to make the lotus blossom tank, but I have so much yarn already. I hate giving it away because I know as soon as I do then I'm going to think of something to make with it. I get too attached too easily.

I really have to think of things to do with my novelty yarn, but there are only so many rectangles you can knit with ultra fuzz before you want to pull your hair out. Camera cases maybe?

I really want to start focusing on some of my ideas for designs, but between work and my other projects, there just isn't much time.

Sometimes I feel like my life doesn't have enough time to get everything done. Between work and stuff around the house and two cats that want every second of my spare time for loving and groceries and laundry... the list goes on.

I guess I'll just have to give up sleep!
