I was getting hot in here so it occurred to me to turn on this little fan I have sitting here near the computer. It's always such a pleasant surprise when a tiny little fan actually solves the problem. This never happened in Texas.

So I called my mom to ask her if she had any ideas for things I could make Taylor for her birthday. She suggested a purse but I wasn't sure she would really like it. So now Taylor, you will probably get a purse/backpack of some undetermined type, and the other thing I was formulating in my head, which my mom was actually enthusiastic about.

Everyone on my presents list has a birthday in October or November, in addition to that whole Christmas thing. Well, everyone except Elaine, and I'm not even sure I'm making her anything. I might just get her some yarn and a pattern and let her make herself something.

I should really try to clean up this apartment, but apparently my frenzied tackling of projects (such as sorting and resorting various collections of shit and knitting related stuff) does not extend to actually worthwhile endeavors. Pity.

I've always wanted to make a purse out of say hemp (really something more twine-y but OW!) and something fuzzy like recycled silk yarn held together. on the smaller side (going out bag maybe, larger than a clutch). square with an oval or rectangular like bottom. rounded wooden handles. garter or seed/moss stitch. that'd be cute. I'm so lazy.

That does sound cute! You should do it one day.
