Creepy Crawler

Actually it is more like a happy crawler. Eyes is now officially a crawler and moving around on her hands and knees. She sometimes flips over onto her back (which startles or scares her - especially if she hits her head on the floor) and she is even trying to pull herself up on things. Which means give her a few months? or so and she'll be walking. Yikes! She loves strawberries and boy does it show. I usually have to strip her naked at meal time if I do give her some just so I only have to wash her and the highchair. I have even tried giving her some toast - didn't go over so well.

Other than that I had a good time at my Mom and Dad's this weekend. I got three items completed. My half and half hood or maybe I should call it my Two Toned Hood! It is half red and half blue after all. Hehehe. Also I got a red wool bog coat done and a red wool lined cloak done. I am not sure I want to trim the bog coat. The more I think about it the more I like it as is. It is big and whoomfy. I did screw up the neckline so the hood doesn't sit as nicely as I would like but it is still workable and I like it. Raven thinks I need a more homespun trim for it because the wool is so coarse looking (and feeling) but yeah I think I like the coat as is.

One strange thing that I also determined this weekend is that even though I am allergic to wool and it makes me very itchy and red and raw (especially if I work with it all day) I still like working with it! There is something about the wool that satisfies me when the job is done. Some would say I am just a masochist (they point at my husband when they say that) but I think I am just weird. And I like it that way. Hahahaha.

So here's a poem for the road.

Cloaked and Cowled
the nomad roams
Hidden from the wind
but only the fowl
know where he shows
the place he makes home.

That was a weird poem! Maybe I should go to bed soon. Heh Night Night!
