Mellow Monday

Despite going to bed way too late last night, I had a wonderful Monday. I thought I'd crash and burn around 2 p.m., but I'm still going strong. One of my students even remarked at how relaxed I seemed, and I told her it was Mellow Monday. She gave me a funny look.

I'm making a version of this for dinner tonight, using what I have and leaving out what I don't. For one thing, I'm adding some potatoes to the onions, along with the other ingredients, hoping that tastes good. Can't imagine it wouldn't, can you?

I stopped for yarn and needles after work today, since I'm going to be teaching an after school knitting class again this year. It was kind of a last minute decision but I figured, what the heck. I'm trying to up the "cool" vibe by calling it Knit Cafe.

I bought about equal amounts of Debbie Stoller's Full O' Sheep yarn for some felted project options, like coasters and i-Pod cases, and Sugar 'n Cream cotton for a washcloth option. (Sorry about the 90 degree off normal photo, but either blogger or my computer is being cranky.) I think middle schoolers will like those colors, don't you?


I did get some of the finished projects washed this weekend, ready for gifting, including this little pink hat. I just love this pattern. And just for fun: Thank you, Ann & Kay, for the super-fantastic link!
