Totally Drawing A Blank Here

Daughter #1 just came into the office. "Are you having trouble thinking of something to write about Mom?"

I was staring off into space. There's actually lots to write about if you think of all the knitting I've been doing. The thing is, I'm not quite ready to show pictures of any of it yet. My scarf still needs trim work done.... my first shawl requires about ten more rows and I've run out of fibre so I have been spinning that in my relaxed hours. And the last shawl that I'm working on which is being made from a commercial yarn is about a half ball away from being finished and last but not least, I've got some lovely yarn dyed that I dyed last week but I really want to knit it up before I show that here too. So basically I'm hooped when it comes to writing about it.

Teapot and the Daughters were out being creative yesterday. It was freezing as it finally looks like winter weather  is near. The day was born grey and dull and as it moved along it got cold and windy too. If I actually could see the mountains from the house, then I would probably see that they are white with swirling clouds around the top of them. That is a sure indicator that we will get our  first dump of snow soon.  Teapot needs to finish the bottom step  to the new front veranda, which is coming along nicely but still requires about an afternoon of lifting the stones into position. The Daughters were painting their bedroom doors out on the deck yesterday. Daughter #1 is painting her door two shades of green, but she needs another coat of paint in both shades. Daughter #2 is painting her door two shades of purple and she needs to touch up a few spots where the dark purple dribbled over the light purple. Then we will put up the doors to their bedrooms and we will only have to do the trim in their rooms and we're finished there. But even that is not much to write about.

The wind has come up again this weekend (it has been a very windy autumn) and I expect that I will lose the power with the beetle kill trees swaying around and looking like they are going to fall over at any minute.... no doubt hitting a wire somewhere and causing me to sit in the cold and dark.... but then again maybe not. Still that's kind of depressing and who wants to hear about that.

I'm working on Christmas gifts and waiting patiently for my level 3 homework to come in the mail. I have heard from my instructor that she has put it in the mail so it is on the way to me.  I'm living if dread and fear. Hopefully I've done well but it doesn't bare thinking! What if I haven't..... oh the shame..... oh the disappointment..... oh dear..... I just won't think about it. so that is nothing to write about either.

The Christmas gifts that I am working on are for my mother and my sister-in-law and I can't put pictures here because my s-i-l reads this blog. (Forget it girl... you're not getting any information out of me!) I am also working on my sister's Christmas gift and she sporadically reads here so I can't show pictures of that either. So even though I'm not talking about the things that I am working on, there are things being done around here.

The gist of this whole blog post though is that I really don't have anything interesting to write about.
No wonder I'm drawing a blank.

So I will end off here and say to you all, I hope your day is not as grey, not as windy, not as dull, as mine is looking like it will be. Hope you're getting lots done and feeling very productive.

Murphy's law has struck again.....I'm experiencing a dull Monday and I don't even go out to work!!!.....
Hmmm.... wish I were off to SOAR... like someone else I know....
