I give up. I'll give you all a little measly update to what's been going on at casa kimble. Nothing.
Well, sort of. Let's see...we had the shop hop, which was a smashing success as always. Much fun was had driving around central Illinois, buying fabric as if there would never be any more. I really liked the shop in Morton this year, at least I think it was in Morton. They had some really neat wool items (not for quilting) that I fell in love with but for some reason didn't buy. I'm planning a trip back up that way for the week between Christmas and New Year's. I had a great time visiting with friends new and old in Bloomington (where The Treadle is always a highlight). Once again, my trust gps didn't fail me, and I saw some really pretty colors.
What else? I picked up my new Juki and have been playing with it (very little, actually). The frame is still set up, and I know it works, but right now I've been spending every free minute on the hat and scarf project for Feitshans. So far we've made at least 62 hat and scarf sets for the kids at FA, but it's still not enough. I'm hoping to hit 100 by the end of November, and then we'll reassess and see what we need more of. I've recently been asked to switch from hats to headbands for the boys, which should not only be faster, but use less fleece, too. We're getting really good feedback, and this is a project I foresee doing every year (though, hopefully not like this year, at the last minute!). There's a big fleece sale this coming weekend for Veterans Day, and I'm planning on making the most of it.
That's pretty much it...this weekend I went down to visit my mom, and we did the "holiday open house tour". This consisted of going to her local junior college to a craft fair, then hitting every open house between Hburg and Paducah, then to the mall and finally to Trees and Trends, and a Christmas Shop on the way back. I didn't make it to Hancocks (sniff, sniff) but after the shop hop I really didn't need anything anyway.
And my hair is red now. Well, more like burgandy. The Russian asked "so what, were they out of all the other colors?". Heehee! It matches our oak tree after the leaves turned. Next stop will be for white stripes in it, probably around Thanksgiving.
Oh! I almost forgot, the biggest news: Feroz came out with another riddle!!! We're at level 51 out of 60, go check it out! The Logix Riddle II
