WIP and a contest.

Where have I been? Mostly just home or at work, but SO BUSY that my computer time has been zilch. I'm checking emails and keeping up with my google calendar, but I wasn't even downloading my photos. I just had to get this up. There's a contest over at Scout's Swag. And she wants to know what your WIP is. I'm working with some of her yarn...and LOVING IT...so I had to post this.

I was taking photos of my kids in the yard when my yarn arrived. I took photos of the skein, and then when I saw them in the viewer...right next to the Bird of Paradise...I gasped. The yarn was a perfect match. These are now my BoP socks. I can't wait to wear them. Now, this wasn't what Scout had in mind when she dyed the yarn, but I'm sure she'll love the collage.

And I have 6 posts in draft. They just need photos or text. I never seem to get both going on the same day. I'm going to get back to regular posting real soon. I miss this outlet...and I might go crazy during the holiday season if I can't let some of it out.
