Because this is just too funny

March 7th, 2005 — 2:29pm

I just got this email from Joelene

“Allison, I just got my scarf squares. Which I am planning to sew up into something fun. And I amost died of laughter, seriously, I almost peed my pants right there in the living room. When I took out my squares out fell some KIX! You freakin crack me up. Poor Vito was looking at me like, what the heck is wrong. Anyway thanks for the laugh, if it was intentional or not, it made my day.”

(It was not intentional, that’s just how my life is, Kix everywhere.)

Ikea and I mailed out the scarves

March 7th, 2005 — 11:47am

Jim made it to L.A. ok. I think he’s having a good time, as good as 3 days of training can be. I’m trying to talk him into making a trip to Ikea. There’s so much stuff that I’ve been drooling over that I WANT IT ALL!!!!! I do have to get a new desk though, Jim took mine to the office because it matched the desks they had down there. I think I just want something like this but with different legs.

I also want two of these arm chairs and this dining table set in the clear lacquered pine. I want two of the half rounds and one of the rectangles. Here are some cool chairs and so cheap! I also like these shelves. Oh and I’ve got to have lighting. How about these?

All of that would only be 740 bucks. Not bad huh? I heart Ikea!!!

Ok, now onto something that’s of interest to you. The scarf swap! I send out everyones packages on Saturday.

Here they are all lined up.

and here’s what I did with my squares. I made a knitting bag.

and as soon as I feel it’s safe to get my sewing machine down (safe from Honor that is) to sew a liner, I’ll add these two squares to the inside as pockets.

Also, my friend Sarah is now TWO weeks over due with her second son. Keep your fingers crossed for her, she will be induced tomorrow if nothing happens beforehand. I can’t imagine how crazy she’s got to be going!
