Project Spectrum

Still feeling like crap so I thought I’d take some pictures for Project Spectrum to brighten up my mood. When you live in New Mexico it’s pretty easy to get shots of things that are blue. Just look up. I love the picture of the little birdfeeder Supergirl made at preschool. Do you see the buds on the tree? That makes me happy. I’m ready for the warm weather.

ps

I also added a new colorway to the Gallery that I dyed last week for a friend to knit with’s daughter. It’s a perfect colorway for Project Spectrum April/May isn’t it? It’s called Prepster. Maybe I should call it Project Spectrum Prepster? I’m going to dye some roving for Bev’s birthday present later today. I can’t wait to see what it looks like in roving.

I really wanted to go to Stitch ‘n’ Bitch tonight but I’m not sure if I feel good enough to go. I think I need another night just hanging out and watching American Idol with the kids and T. I didn’t sleep very well last night and am feeling it right now. Maybe it’s time for a triple shot of something? Which one should I go for? Espresso? Nyquil? Vodka? It’s a toss up. I’m cracking up at people’s comments about mixing them all together. How about we call it a Vodkaspressquil? Nyquitini? I can’t imagine what that would do to a person’s system. I guess the the Nyquil and vodka would overpower the caffeine? Maybe I need to wait until another adult is in the house…..too funny. I’m so tired this is completely making me laugh.

    I’m with you, I pretty much feel like crap today too. I think I’m going to leave work early in a bit and go home to crash on the couch. Ugh.

    And I think you should mix up a triple shot of all 3, that just might do the trick ;)

    gorgeous sky, drool-worthy yarn! I’d vote for some plain old black tea with a liberal shot of something alcoholic and lots of lemon and honey. with a chaser of chicken soup. Sometimes these old remedies are just the ticket. Sending you feel-better vibes…

    I loooooove Prepster. My bedroom when I was a kid was hot pink and lime green with a little bit of black and white. =)

    Hope you’re feeling better soon!

    The color is beautiful! Man, I am having some major yarn yearning right now. I’m sorry you don’t feel well. I hope rest and fluids will help.

    Take care.

    Yarn pretty. Sky pretty. Feel sick thinking of Nyquil/espresso/tequila shot.

    yeah you’d need another adult in the house. if you took a shot of that stuff, you’d wake
    up next tuesday. you’d need someone to dust you and make sure you were still breathing.
    my BIL calls Nyquil the “how’d I end up on the kitchen floor” medicine.
    hope you are feeling better soon and can get some rest.

    Go for Nyquil, that stuff should probably be illegal.

    My grandpa always said a shot of Jägermeister cures everything. So I’m going to vote for the Vodka. Or you could have a screwdriver- there’s the OJ which has vitamin C & the vodka to make you feel better. It’s borderline healthy!

    You MUST be sick if your brain didn’t even think of the cure-all….MARTINI!!!!

    Can you get a neighbor to come over and keep an eye on you till T comes home? *L* I hope you feel better soon, sweetie. Have you tried ginger tea yet? That stuff cures everything.

    Love that new colorway!

    Hi, Scout! I just got the prize yarn from the Red Scarf project donation you made. Thank you so much, it’s gorgeous! I needed a lift today, and you gave me one!

    Prepster is gorgeous. But then, can you dye anything ugly? Apparently not! As for your Nyquitini idea, patent it now or you’ll see it at all the trendy bars in a month! LOL!

    I love the new prepster colorway. It’s the stuff of my dreams. I guess that’s what happens when preppie is in when you’re in high school… the formative years.

    nyquitini…maybe one of those would help me actually sleep through the night. or maybe i should give a double nyquitini to el hubster to quiet the snoring beast?

    my princess gives two very sticky (jam and croissants for breakfast) thumbs up to the prepster colorway.

    I hear dark rum and Dr. Pepper are magic…I usually just slug down some NyQuil and blank out for about 10 hours. Usually works for me. Maybe tuck some of that yummy yarn under your pillow for sweet dreams?

    Perhaps the Nyquil and Vodka would overtake the caffeine or you will be a wide awake drunk!!

    Love Supergirl’s birdhouse–and the buds on the tree make me long for warmer weather. I’m freezing my something or other off here in the Midwest.

    Feel better . . .

    Emergen-C and tequila!Feel better soon!

    the Nyquil and espresso would be redundant for me–if I take (yes, the nighttime) Nyquil, I am WIRED and do not sleep a drop…so how about a triple cosmo?
