let me tell you a story about a little tea cozy.....
after ripping out joy's tea cozy 3 times, i finished it and it looked AWESOME. i was VERY happy with it. UNFORTUNATELY, it didn't felt properly. everything except the green felted. THANKFULLY even though it didn't felt, it did strink so it looks ok. REGARDLESS, it broke my heart. i was SO SO SO upset with myself for not doing it correctly. it looks beautiful, but it could have and was SUPPOSED to look WAY better. i moped and mourned my latest creation, knowing that once i accepted the disappointment that it would be ok. however, MOST IMPORTANTLY... joy LOVED it. and said most sincerely that she didn't care that the green didn't felt, she said it just added more texture. by the time i went home i was coming to terms with the disappointment, but it'll always be a sore spot in my knitting heart.

i'd also like to take this opportunity to introduce those in the blogosphere to the lovely melissa tebrake's new blog: s.i.m.p.l.i.c.i.t.y. add her to your bloglines, google readers, bookmarks, whatever. let's make her feel welcome. that teabag... she's FANTASTIC!

when you're sick, do you ever feel hungry and not at the same time? it's this darn cold. yuck. i'm so congested that i feel top-heavy.

move across the night like a separate wind.
