That Felt Good!

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.

I got around to felting some bars of soap this weekend. Oh what fun! Lots of soap groping involved but that' okay 'cuz I love my soap! Here's the tutorial I found in case you're into giving this a whirl. It's very addictive I should warn. Was tempting to slip ET some kind of magic pill to buy me some more "mommy time" to felt up a few more! That would have been naughty.

As mentioned, Make 1 Yarns wants to talk soap stuff so I thought I'd present them this week with the lovechild of my two passions, soaping and knitting (fiber anyways) to see how that goes over. As soon as Craigy's done his granola I'll have him guinea pig this in the shower to see if it's all I hyped it up to be or just a gooey mass of wet sheep (ooo, how's this for a tagline - "I Always Wanted to take a Shower with Ewe" ? Perhaps Mommy should work on that one a bit more. Here's a handy dandy shot:

I hope you had a glorious weekend. I know I did! We had a great family excursion to the main library, welcomed a friend's baby to the world at a babyshower, had Herb Mama and family over for potluck and bonfire Saturday night and, last but not least (actually it was first), Friday night's Chick Flick 'n Knit was so fabulous. We watched Love, Actually (you know, Hugh Grant, your typical British Prime MInister)and I got tonnes of knitting done. Tonnes, of course, in relation to how much I can normally get done with the munchkin around when we're trying to watch a movie.

It was almost a religous experience with the perfect movie lighting in the store, Emma Thompson's droll, stoic mutterings backdropping the soft click, click, clicking of about twelve lovey ladies stitching their love into their handywork. So enjoyable and looking forward to the next one (I believe it will be Zombie movie night though - zombie droning will be just as dramatic a backdrop I'm sure)!
