“I won a book! I won a book!!â€
Ok – my boys think I’m crazy now! Lol They are used to mom talking back to her mp3 player – but the dance might have been too much! 😉 I never win anything – but I won the book of my choice (from a field of a dozen or so?) from Kelli at the Unwound Podcast!
I chose Victorian Lace Today by Jane Sowerby – and I can take it off my Amazon wish list. And, I’m taking a beginning lace class in 4 days with my friend Ruth – 2007 will definitely be the year of lace!
Kelli featured another book that was a real contender – and was added to my Amazon wish list: Amazing Crochet Lace: New Fashions Inspired by Old-Fashioned Lace by Doris Chan But as I already know how to make lace in crochet – I chose the other. But I have not made any crochet lace garments – and I think I’m going to be looking for some nice patterns online.
What else was I going to tell you about? Oh – my poor baby! DH woke me up at 7am to tell me that J3 was crying again. He was not in his bed – so I followed the crying sound and found him in the bathroom. Poor guy was sitting there crying his eyes out. But he looks at me and says through the tears – “Good Morning Mommy” Awww He’s so sweet – but darn he is soo miserable! 🙁 I pray that he is through with this very soon!
Hey Mendy!! So great to hear from you! How are you and yours? Do you blog any where I can catch up with you? I’ve missed you!
Well, I’d better get dressed and start my day. Though due to the illness in the family (looks like J1 might have it too 🙁 ) I’m not sure my day will be much more than laundry and knitting. Hee hee – who am I kidding?!? I’ll love that!
Way cool! That is the book I was saying if I could only have one lace book! It has some really wonderful things in it! Sorry your little guy is so miserable. Does he have sores in his mouth? The doc I worked for always recommended taking Maalox or another med like that and adding one dose of liquid Tylenol (or probably Ibuprofen would work too) and mixing them together. Then you swish it in their mouth. The Maalox coats the mouth and so theoretically makes some of the pain reliever also go on directly. I have never personally tried this as we have not had Coxsackie yet. Disclaimer, I’m not a doctor. I’m not dispensing medical advice! LOL Just an idea if he is really miserable. Also suck on popsicles…cold will numb it a bit. Poor Baby!
