Happy Ostara

Well the weather here changed overnight and the toads are singing with the sun shining bright. Temps have been in the 70ā€™s, (thatā€™s Fahrenheit) and the girls have been busy in the garden.
I finished my Invisible Hood from Faerie Knitting just in time not to need it at allšŸ˜„
Hubby gave me a DNA test kit for Yule and Iā€™ve been laughing at the results ever since. My family is racist, mother and grandfathers, mostly. My mom tries not to be, but ... anyway, it turns out thereā€™s African on her side of the family. And the Native American that her family long claimed, isnā€™t showing up, in her tests or mine. Someone may have made up a story šŸ˜‰ lā€™m glad I find it humorous, Iā€™ve seen too many YouTube vids of people being distraught over their results.

Doll pattern progress

The doll pattern project is coming together. Weā€™ve got the size but there are some details that could stand to be tweaked. I still need to figure out how to insert the pipe cleaners that will be optional. I donā€™t have seams where theyā€™ll need to go, so that means poking holes in the right places and figuring out at what stage they need to be inserted. I wish I could start photographing the assembly process but itā€™s too soon and I donā€™t have the lights for it. Iā€™m just impatient to see this one finished.

Struggling to focus

I donā€™t know if itā€™s chemical exposure or something else, but Iā€™ve been all over the place the last two days with a complete lack of focus. Baked some cookies and took a few pics today in spite of it šŸ˜

Stairs

Weā€™ve got stairs inside! Theyā€™re steep and they definitely need a hand rail, but itā€™s so nice to be able to run upstairs for things with out going outside and around. Radar was supervising the whole process.

And we put in a small part of the flooring at the base of the stairs.

Reusing yarn

Iā€™ve taken apart a sweater vest I was never really happy with and I plan to combine the different yarns to use as a chunky yarn. Thereā€™s a pattern in Faerie Knitting for a hood that I may try. šŸ˜„
