time keeps on slipping...
ok, inspired by purly whites need to name her posts after song lyrics, i give you the anthem of my life right now (steve miller rocks). i think that my current state of chaos amplifies the matter even more (the "matter" being lack of hours in a day).
ok, ignoring the chaos, i will let you know that most of the goodie boxes were taken to the post office today. for those of you near me (washington), you may get them as early as tomorrow. i hope you enjoy. the 40 packages were a bit of an undertaking, but i managed just fine and enjoyed it. they are just wee tokens of appreciation for all my wonderful readers. seriously though, a year? there is that time thing again...
if you think that i managed to let all these days pass without some knitting, well then you don't know me very well :) i just finished the 2nd ball of yarn on my ruffles scarf (i have yet to photograph it). i also finished felting my very heavy flower basket bag. here it is un-adorned (flowers are in the works)
i am ok with it. it is a little big and a little heavy, but once i get the flowers done i think i will be entranced with it. even if i never carry it out in public.
i myself also received some lovely goodies from my parents. they hit wine country in california as i mentioned before. my mother was told to find yarn. unfortunately they had a tough time locating yarn stores. she did however, in the end, manage to find me a ball of this summery yarn
and the other goodies included ravenswood wine, scharffen berger chocolate (you can't get better than their chocolate, i have tried many, many fancy brands and this stuff rocks) and the yummiest garlic olive oil for bread dippin'.
i do believe the chocolate and wine will be reserved for a little 30th bday toast to myself (omg it is so very soon!).
time is really flying by, i did get the job i posted about before and i can't believe how fast my last weeks as a contractor are going. the adjustment will be hard, i lead a very LAZY life these days and get paid VERY well doing so. this will not be the case at the new gig. so recapping, i turn 30, i start a new job and i am searching for a condo. i guess it is actually kind of exciting. but my head is spinning.

congratulations! on the new job. turning 30. and finding a condo. condo shopping is fun. i love going to open houses. even when i'm not looking.
Wow, you do have a lot going on--congrats on the new job, and happy birthday! Good luck with finding a condo too--that is fun, but exhausting.
I think your flower basket is very cute, and I can't wait to see it with those adorable roses on it. I like that pattern.
Wow, 40 packages out in the mail? That is really an undertaking! I know that all of your readers will be so happy! That is such a generous gift!
Take care, Amy! :)

You are quite the busy bee these days. How sweet of you to mail out all of those packages while juggling everything else! Your Zen is lovely.
Have a wonderful day,
Amy
You know, you may not be able to stop time, but you're doing a wonderful job with the time you have! I can't wait to see the flowers for the flower basket bag!
The FBB looks great! Good luck in your new job.
Congrats- so many fun and exciting things happening. Love the goodies from mom and dad and can't wait to see the fully adorned Flower Basket bag!
You are such a crafty goddess to send out all of those packages.
I love Scharffen Berger Chocolate too! Bittersweet is my favorite. We are using the little squares in assorted flavors for our wedding favors. That's why I love reading your blog, we like a lot of the same things :)
YAY!!!!! Congrats on the new job! Ang told me last night. We'll have to have a toast at Knitters. :)
Will you be working directly with Alan? It'll be nice to have someone you know there when you start, won't it? :)
See you soon...

Good luck with the new job and the transition of being your own boss to have someone boss you! I saw you bought some DB cotton angora the other day..have you had a chance to use it yet? If you have how well do you like it? I'm thinking of ordering some and making my mom a sweater. Thanks Amy and have a great day!
Congrats on the new job! And score on the gifties from your parents! I'm envious!
Yay for the song lyrics!
Congratulations on your new job! The bag looks great so far.
Congrats on your new job Amy! What will you be doing? And happy almost birthday to you!!!
CHEERS!!!!!
The bag looks great so far! Congratulations on the new job and good luck with your condo search
The basket looks great. I love the way it came out - It actually inspired me to felt something. Great job. HAPPY 30th (soon?). Congrads on the new job! Post pics of the future possible condos...we'll help you shop!
congratulations on the new job and being a "grown up." looking for a place to live is a pain but once you find it, it will be all yours. and the bag looks great. i wish i had my own washer so i didn't have to plan felting with dirty laundry days. yay for you!
I got my package! Thank you so much. It's all soooooo cute. How did you make those stitch markers. Just adorable. You are so sweet to do this. Thanks!
Congratulations on your new job. I have made the Rose Trellis bag and I carry it in public all the time, and I always get compliments on it. Yours is looking fab so far.
