I know I'm behind on posting.  Rest assured I am still creating.  I am wrapping up one of classes in school and it's made keeping up with papers and PowerPoint presentations take priority over blog posts.  Class finished for a month this coming Saturday so I'm hoping to catch up on posts over the weekend.

I wanted to sketch, but was at a loss as to what to sketch.  So...here's toilet paper?  I just grabbed a random object and here it is.  It's not great; it's probably the most asymmetrical roll of toilet paper I've ever seen.  Leaning tower of TP?

Worked through the rest of the first skein of yarn.  I really like how this is working up.  Not much else to say.  I'm itching to sketch.  Maybe tomorrow.

I was in dire need of spring.  Here in Chicago the last couple of days it's been sunny, but still cold enough to need a winter coat.  I decided to go looking for flowers and do some photography.  Most of the daffodils and tulips are still coming up so enjoy some crocuses and a sunbathing cat.

Still laid up with a sinus infection.  Feeling a bit better.  Yesterday, and even this morning, any time I got my pulse up even a little it felt like a spike was being forced out of the top of my head.  Thankfully that has eased off.  I'm still exhausted unfortunately.  I managed to get about four or five new rows onto my knitting before I was too tired and laid back down on the couch.  Here's hoping for a speedy recovery.

Sadly I've been sidelined by a sinus infection.  If I wasn't asleep I was just staring at the TV.  Hoping some more sleep with kill this thing and I can get back to being creative tomorrow.

A new yarn shop opened up near work.  This is a dangerous thing.  If you're near Rogers Park in Chicago check out http://squigglysyarnshopandstudio.com/.I got this gorgeous yarn without having a purpose for it, so I picked a pattern from one of my books because I was anxious to work with it.  It's crocheting up really nicely, almost striped.  It's a single-ply acrylic that is much softer than I'm used to acrylic being.  It's shaping up to be a really pretty afghan when it's done.
