Fat Mouse

I finished my first “make-up” project – Cheese of Chalk and Cheese from Simply Knitting issue 14.

The only thing is I’ve not “made-up”. I haven’t any stuffing, and really REALLY can’t sew. So the poor mouse if sitting in pieces in my knit box. I’m glad I haven’t made eyes and mouth yet, or it may break my heart to have to look at him lying around all decimated!

Now that’s done, I’m having to think of something else to occupy me. And by occupy I mean distract from the flaming strap of that bag below.

There is the new issue of Knitty, but I’m not overly interested in anything in it – although the socks without toes could be tres handy in the summer. Not that you know yet, but I can’t stand socks. Some sort of adverse reaction to the sound of them rubbing together… bleurgh.

Still attempting the free-form summer bag, but because I’ve not done any working out it’s now just a bit of a cylinder. Time to frog and rethink!

On a happy note, I’m very much looking forward to more of Season Seven of West Wing. Of course, not for the sad episode that deals with John Spencer’s death, but the Johs/Donna centric ones make me happy. J

On a sad note, my boss has told me it’s 85% likely that I’m going to be “laid off” in the near future. As I’ve only worked here 11 months, I won’t even get a package, just a pat on the back and (hopefully) a good reference.

Anyone looking to hire out there?? I’m very good at everything. Except maths. Obviously.
