I need to be back in Florida…

RIGHT NOW!

Everything’s gone down hill since I’ve gotten home. I won’t bore you with details, but I will give you this little tidbit:

I’ve been taking pictures forever. I’ve been open for business for over a year. I’ve been using my camera for that long and have NEVER EVER had a problem.

Yesterday I had a job. I didn’t bring the new camera because I’m not comfortable with it yet – I haven’t tested the flash, shot with all the lenses, played with it – you know. So I leave it home. I get to the job, get everything set up, go to take pictures with my old camera, which I’ve NEVER EVER had a problem with – I hit the shutter and WHAMO, or I should say BLAMO – the damn thing dies.

ERROR 99

The death knell.

In the end, I ran home to get the new camera and everything went well, but still. My heart.

I’m tired and I’m cranky so I bought my yarn for The Flower Basket Bag. I’m using Cascade Magnum, which I found for a great price over at Hello Knitty. I need some big ass needles, but I’m on my way. I hope it’s fast and fun. I could use some of that.

On a brighter note, I received my Secret Pal‘s name. I’m excited to spoil someone from a far – I’ve never done one of these before, so I’m hoping it’s lots of fun.

Have a nice weekend everyone! Hope it’s full of brightness and cheer. We could use some.

Flower Basket

Picked up the new VK yesterday and this caught my eye….

And wouldn’t you know it, while I was surfing the blogs today I found this:

So I joined up! The Tahki is really expensive so I’m thinking I’m going to go with Cascade Magnum. I just love this bag. It’s so not me, but I think it would make a nice yarn bag or something as decoration, not necessarily as a bag per se.

School Daze is coming along better than I ever expected. It looks EXACTLY like I wanted it to. Neckband’s done. One armband is done, but needs to be ripped a couple of rows – I think it’s too wide, next armband, seams and …. expect a picture on Friday.

I’m ready. Are you?
