did you know you have a piece of black string stuck to you?

doing double duty around here tonight.

baking another batch of cookies while making a paper-chain and carrying the jet-black knitting around with me.

i used to love to make paper-chains when i was little. you know those pre-cut, lick and stick kits. don't remember what i did with the chains when i was done with them. just loved making them i guess.  about a month ago one of the Garnett Hill catalogs came in the mail and on the cover was a simple but beautiful paper and ribbon chain. (it had nothing to do with the items in the catalog for ordering, just simply a beautiful cover). ever since i saw that cover i've wanted to make one. so i bought some scrapbooking papers in amazing colors, used the paper cutter in the art room at work, and tonight while the cookies baked i constructed a chain. fun stuff!

and i'm weary....of the black yarn....so close.....want to be done....does carrying a project around with you help you get it done?........NO!  how do i know this? because i've tried it for a few days now. in my purse, thinking i might have some "waiting" moments and none come. i even carried it to the kitchen tonight to make the cookies, along with the paper chaining stuff. what won? the paper chains. i tried knitting a bit on something else last night to see if that would help.....it did a bit. even tried renting some DVDs.

4 days!!! it's getting exciting!
