Manic Bunny

The electricians have been here. It's been chaos, random rooms having electricity then the next day not.. And poor Loverbunny has been manic. He had to go on kitty pills for anxiety.

I'm slowly knitting on my Apres Surf Hoodie.

And I have to get on my soapbox a little. I'm frustrated about not being able to get certain yarns. I am working every single day, and I don't have time to check and check for updates (at work they don't let the nurses have access to the internet at all).  I keep missing out on Wollemeise and Sundara. The Wollemeise sold out on Loopy Ewe in 3 minutes! I guess I should just get over it, but I just had to vent my frustrations. I think I want it more now that I can't get it....


I don't need to be buying it anyway, because I plan on buying myself a spinning wheel soon. I am thinking about getting a Ladybug. I am a little worried I won't like it and be out lots of money, but I want a nice wheel to learn with. Originally, I was going to try and buy a cheap, used one, but the more I think about it, the more I think I'll be better off with a new wheel.

A quick before-work note

I'm not blogging as frequently now... this was supposed to be mostly a knitting blog, and the knitting isn't happening lately! I want to knit, I'm just busy with the house. I am thinking of making a new blog for the home restoration... I'm not sure.

Anyway, we opened up the back stairs... it had been enclosed by walls, and you entered another door to get to the outside door and stairs. It's gone now!  (I couldn't find a before picture so you could see what a dramatic change this is.)

Back Hall



The electricians have been here a week, and they are working upstairs. There is no power to the upstairs right now.

I wanted to wind some yarn to start some socks since it's so hot, but I couldn't get to my ball winder. It was upstairs in a pile of stuff that we moved for the electricians. *sigh* I have been working on my hoodie, but it's a slow go.

Another distraction is that I got Dance Dance Revolution for my Wii. I love it! I never knew I liked to dance so much.
