my poor brain
Posted on March 28th, 2007 at 8:17 amI awoke this morning already clutched by the desire to craft something. I keep thinking about quilts and softies and stitching. I want to applique something onto something and embroider something onto something.
When I reached my desk, I randomly sketched an owl on a postie note. (I’ve been doing that a lot lately, as I’m searching for just the right design to call my own.) Once I’d done that, I suddenly wanted to sew an owl, or stitch an owl, or applique an owl. Sigh.
I should probably act on one of these impulses today if I plan on keeping the title “crafter.”
Then when I finally signed online my mind, which had been utterly occupied by crafts, suddenly was filled with this: (If you don’t like spoilers, don’t look too close at these.)
I’m currently in an odd state where my mind is racing and frozen in place at the same time. Thankfully I have some mindless knitting that I can do while I wait for my brain to grind back into action. Behold, the very plain part of the Lacy Waves Top that goes on for quite awhile before you get to the parts that qualify it for Lace Style:
Yay for run-on sentences! Yay for the splash of cold water that is a new Harry Potter announcement! I need some coffee.

Oooooh. Those HP covers gave me a little shiver of delight. I can’t wait.
When I get them, I’ll have to forward you some pictures of the quilt squares I just appliqued for a friend’s baby quilt. I was pretty proud of them for a first attempt. And someday remind me to tell you about my new crafty area in my house. I’ve been all about the feeling crafty lately. :-)

You don’t need a pensieve to figure that scene out!! Heavy sigh, it will all be over too soon. Thank goodness for fanfic.

I just got home from class and Rick has tacked a giant poster of the US book cover to our bookcase! Woohoo!

WOW!!! Those covers tell a intriguing story! Love the UK one (why are they always more “artsy” than the US one?
I am so excited for this book and can’t wait for the 5th movie either!!! (Drive in anyone?)
With your little owl drawings, why not make an applique (did I spell that right?) on a hat for Cian? Just a thought?
