Wanderlust

My need to travel is in high gear right now and it is driving me a bit nuts. I suspect it is a combo of too much homework and too much rain and not enough outlets. Because of the pup, mostly I dream about road trips, but then there was this "Spring in Crete" post. Sigh. I bet Nim would do well in Greece.

We are in for rain and cold this weekend. I will take what little color I can get, like these flowers outside my door.

The pellet stove went back on high yesterday as did the "negotiating."

I did stay up too late Thursday night starting my Mad Lunch Lady project. I have committed to attempting to make a Simple Rug Snuggle for the Snuggles Project. Every once in a while I wish I could crochet, and this is one of those times. Crochet simply does better in creating a nice round rug.

To make this work I am incorporating fabric strips from my mystery bag:

That I am zig-zagging together:

And rolling into a fabric ball:

I would be much further along except I unfortunately had to pull a bunch on Friday and I really don't have many blocks of knitting time. But this is attempt number 2:

On Brittany's site she is proposing a spring cleaning challenge and this next week is supposed to be closets. Two things:

1. I don't need a challenge to clean, I love to clean, especially if I would rather not be doing my homework.

2. I don't tend to keep a lot of stuff to throw away in the first place.

I do however love participating in challenges and there is always room for cleaning improvements. :)

We are supposed to take photos of our work, which I may or may not do...I did however take a photo of my closet plant. Sigh. We have about a one year relationship in which it sneaks in the closet and I cut it back out. Emile loves it.

I hope everyone has a productive Saturday if you need it (like me) or a relaxing Saturday if you don't.
