I'm still feeling a bit frantic over imposed and unimposed responsibilities. I have a huge deadline on Notable Children's Books coming up on Monday. I really want to finish the baseball sweater for my fil's birthday. The house needs a good cleaning and refreshing before my mother comes to visit. And our furnace is slightly kaput. I am going to keep chipping away at each task - both that I have to do and want to do. Here is a close-up of the baseball sleeve. My first ever cable (though it feels a bit like a jr. cable).



The high point of this frenzy was coming home last night to a big box from http://garnethill.com. I pulled everything out and put it right on our bed. Lovely, smushy warm German flannel. Nothing is better on a bed. I think even kitty kitty slept more soundly on it. I've wanted these pretty sheets for over a year now. I matched them with chocolate brown flannel shams. Heaven. If only the cafe misto machine fit in the basket next to my bed.

Sigh. Back to Notables.
