hand eye crafts

This will one day soon be this. (This is the how-much-more-Kim-could-a-puzzle-be puzzle I spoke of earlier.) From left to right, these will be a new pair of socks and a Finished Book.

Another desk day here.  Writing postcards, balancing my checkbook, doing other "paperwork."  I'm sure this has been said here before, but I love writing, working, just sitting at a desk.  Always have. I got going on the second bootie sock today. The heel is more a little pocket, which is spiffy.  I'd tell you the brand of the yarn, but the identifying band is long gone. Purple tea on tap today: That's Blue Raspberry from  Bird and Blend , a wonderful online shop with delicious teas. Also on the drink front, did you know there is orange milk? Yes, it does taste like a Creamsicle.  It's delicious and it comes in a glass bottle, so I am all in.

Did you guess little bootie socks? The roll-top always makes me happy. Despite the craziness going on in parts of Georgia (including the county next door to this one), I'm still staying in.  If Tap and I take a walk of any length, I wear a mask. How are things with you?  Staying safe and sane?

Care to hazard a guess as to what this is going to be? How does he breathe when he sits like this? Can you have bed head all over your face?

The finished shawl.  I'm really happy that it started and ended on the same wine/aubergine color.

Really, I've no idea why I'm such a snob about how tea looks in a cup.  But here we are. Like many, many people, the end of quarantine can't come soon enough haircut-wise.  Some days all the hair I still have minds what I do while drying it, though. There was nothing in my mail today except catalogs.  Nothing.  Due to Mother's Day coming up? Wound a ball of Ancient Arts Yarn worsted in Amethyst this afternoon.  My knees are my swift.  I'm not sure what this yarn will become yet, but it's at the ready when a decision is made.

Started my day with some blue tea. Blue tea and a tin of crayons, to be exact. This Malabrigo has refused to be anything yet.  Fingers crossed for the  One Row Wonder Shawl . I worked on it while watching There was a cup of crimson red tea. Other colors, too, through the day --- this was just especially photo-worthy .
