Leg Warmth

In case you're reading this, I have a new blog address that is more interesting at: http://www.whiletangerinedreams.typepad.com/
this one will be kept as a back up but the other one is better. Trust me.

Et, tada! Voila, ici estan mon leg warmers (my apologies if you speak French or Spanish - I think I may have offended both camps). These are from the Last Minute Knitted Gifts book under the chapter entitled "Two to Four Hour Gifts". I'd like to offer they rename the chapter "My Ass". These took forever! Like, a month of steady Edie nap time. And she naps like a little baby sloth! Oh well, the joy is in the process.

Craig busted me trying to take pictures of my tube-intombed legs early this morning. I thought his eyes were going to roll right out of his cute head! He muttered something about being empathetic and offered to take a picture of me modeling these puppies. I'll spare you that scariness. Momma's got to get up mighty early to beat the Tangerine to precious morning alone time to get such things done as writing this right now.

Long story short, in the picture I'm sporting the maternity moomoo that I still find comfy and embracing a crack-ho after a late night a'crackin' appearance. I want to maintain my Calgary's Martha Stewart facade so here's a shot instead of me right by the Calgary Tower working on the legwarmers while waiting for our city's fine, clean n' green living LRT service on our big "walk" to the library on Sunday:

Oh, yes. Wondering minds want to know the deal with the felted soaps (I even got a phone call from merry ol' England about that - hello Natashia!). The deal is the wool acts as a built in wash cloth. I tried it and it is heavenly!!! Honestly, not too weird. If anything, weird in a cool way. Plus, it looks really pretty in the soap section of your shower (away from the spray, People!). And I'm thinking, once the soap's all gone, throw the leftover felt in the wash, take out, shape it, air dry and voila! Coaster! Bob's your uncle!
