sunday forest stroll socks

these socks remind me of a lovely stroll in a forest... all of the colours of trees, dirt, babbling brooks.

i'm working away on a pair of socks for mom. pictures coming soon.

kiva!

I made my first loan at kiva.org today! I am so excited to begin what I hope is the first of many.

The fantastic thing about this is that it is not a charity. It's a small amount to pay but makes a huge difference to the borrower. Once the loan is repaid you can re-loan to a new borrower. And the cycle goes.

i dare you to check it out and not be compelled to join: http://www.kiva.org/app.php

monday night soccer club

knitting content to arrive in a short while...

but in the meantime, i scored my first goal at indoor soccer monday night. we played a double header, and i scored during the second game - which is amazing since i was unable to take any breaks (other than half time) and i was pooped!

the other team said it had be about the best celebration they'd ever seen - like i had won the lotto or something. and i felt like i had.

home improvement

right now we are in the middle of reorganizing some rooms. we're moving the office into what is now the craft room. the old office will become the guest bedroom and a pared down version of the craft room.

on a whim we decided to pain the old craft room which was painted in an awful minty-green colour. off we headed to home depot and out we came with a gallon of primer and a gallon of paint in "horizon blue" from C.I.L.

so far the room is taped and primed. today we'll focus on both coats of paint.

so much for a quick change!
