The Laundress Is On Strike

August 11, 2010

And the strange thing is, she doesn’t have any demands that need to be met before she agrees to return to work.  She just would rather play with soft, luscious yarn instead of dirty, smelly clothes.

She would rather work on an alpaca scarf (rav link) that she doesn’t need in mid-August.

Or she would rather work on a little pixie hat (rav link) for a friend who’s expecting a little girl next month.

Or she’d rather work on a new comfy cardi (rav link) for those cool California evenings.

She could “demand” more yarn, but the husband of the house would quickly agree and then our laundress would have to return to the stinky clothes.  There is lots of yarn to request.  Like some Sweet Georgia merino/silk dk, or some Classic Elite Ariosa for another yummy scarf (rav link).  Not that she’s been looking because just last month she said, “no more yarn!”  What to do, what to do…

I have a feeling that our laundress will return to work in the near future.  Like when she realizes she has no clean workout clothes for tomorrow.

About Me

Welcome to my spot on the web where I talk about needlework, crafts, and [many] other random things.

A few tidbits about me: I met my husband in college, flirting over tuba letters in the Penn Band. Our dog, CJ, and our cat, Sabrina, round out our family. I'm a sewist, knitter and needlepointer, and an occasional scrapbooker. I love organizing, reading, making jewelry, and hiking. A Chicago girl at heart, I am an avid follower the Cubs, Bears, and Blackhawks.

My Etsy Shop

A place for me to sell my handmade goods. My style? It's fun and funky with a hint of romance.
