Saw Neko Case at the Park West last night and it was one of the best concerts I’ve been to. I knew that she had a great voice from her cd’s but it is pretty amazing in person, especially when harmonizing with her backup ladies…nobody missed a note. That woman can belt it out like nobody’s business…insane I tell you. The banjo was pretty great also, actually the whole thing was great. She played a lot off of Blacklisted which made me happy, favorites of the night included, Things that Scare Me, Deep Red Bells and John Saw That Number. Yea!
Just a few things I did today that aren’t completely dull. Very beautiful day out today, 80’s or something, I wish I had a porch or some reason to get out of the apartment besides going for a run.
1. Finished my Denyse Schmidt Heating Pad Cover (minus Velcro which I can’t find)…
2. Made granola snacks from the latest Martha Stewart Food Magazine…
3. Made a little bag for my lunch out of some dandelion fabric from Rowan…
This is what the cat did all day…
Last night I signed up for the Chicago Marathon, this will be my first marathon completed, though I did train for one I was unable to run due to mono. This marathon, however, is scheduled to go off without health incident. Plus the entry fee has risen to $110, ouch! That might hurt more than my muscles for the next few months. Anyway I have a lot of running ahead of me, luckily Beems and Dave have also signedup. Now who else can we get to join us? The three of us have started a really lame, almost never updated blog called The Thon, so maybe we’ll actually start posting on that. Ha ha ha I wouldn’t count on it.
Spring break is drawing to a close, and what do I have to show for it? Less than I had hoped, but still something. May I present my Leave Print Dress from Built by Wendy for Simplicity.
Pretty comfortable fit, I had to blend sizes as usual and I also added 2 inches to the bottom of the mini because it was going to be a bit too mini for me. Here’s a closeup of the sleeve tie…
I think this dress is going to come in handy this summer at the cottage when I really want to blend in.
This is what I really should be working on. I need a full 70″ scarf with pockets by Friday. Yikes.
Now I’m off to read a giant InStyle magazine I just found in the bathroom instead of knitting. Ha!
