The “Startitis” is getting worse, not better!

I was just browsing in KR and noticed the thread about knitting holiay gifts . . . I haven’t even come up with a list yet . . . but then I started thinking . . . wouldn’t it be fun to make matching sweaters (and hats and mittens) for my two neices? And that lead to thinking about what to make Mimmo for winter . . . and what to knit for DH for Christmas this year . . . I’m sure he’d love a sweater . . . and . . .and .. . .and . . .

Too many ideas, not enough time.

We are at the count-down till the big birthday bash on Saturday and I have a ton of stuff to do still. I made sauce last night (still need a 2nd pot though) and there is a bunch of cleaning (window washing, scrubbing the bathroom, and dusting!) and the patio needs to be really cleaned again . . . I’ve also got to get pictures together for a little project I want to have done.

I’m starting a scrap book that will someday be DS’s. I plan to put together several pages with things from his first year and then temporarily attach them to a big piece of foam board to display during the party. I can then put them into page protectors and into a book to be added to over the years and that will some day be given to him to keep. Perhaps I’ll hang on to it and give it to hime when he has his first child someday . . . talk about long term planning right?

Well, he’s up from his nap and I’ve got to get the pictures together . . .

Oh, I’ve been working more on the sock (late at night when I’m too tired to clean any more) I’ve gotten most of the way through the heel gusset and should be working on the foot by sometime tonight I hope. I’ll take a picture later today or sometime tomorrow if I can.
