I just checked Windows Messenger and Yahoo Messenger to see if any of my friends or family are online, so I could have a chat, and looks like I am the only one sitting at my computer on this chilly winter morning.

I'm trying to get up the courage to go out for a morning walk. I will definitely be needing more clothes however. It's all too easy to shlump around in one's jammies on a morning like this. But I really want to get going. Besides, I hear it's supposed to rain today or tomorrow and I want to walk before that starts happening.

I was hoping to dye my remaining bits of wool yarn into some kind of usable color scheme to practice making another felted purse. This one will necessarily have to be a small version as the bits amount to about one skein altogether. They are in these shades: a small ball of yellow, four small balls of robins egg blue, one length of off white, and half a skein of orange/red. Doesn't sound too promising. My plan as of this moment is to dye the whole mess with some cherry kool aid and see what I end up with. . . . [I used to be a mad scientist in a former life.]

The clouds are moving in as we speak. I better put some of these plans into motion before things deteriorate any further.
