... or maybe we've been protected by higher power. Dunno. We successively tried to watch a Tarantino movie, a Disney, a Twilight episode, Avatar, and finally a random psucho-horror-something called Esther and nothing worked. First it was the image, then the sound, then the image that were unbearable, then the computer froze on us, then the movie was just bad. The good thing about it is that it gave me plenty of time to work on my knitting. I've started on the sweater for my Dad for Christmas, and I almost have two sleeves ! I'm very proud of myself, and I'm started to think that maybe I could get this done in time (looking at my record of needing a year to complete a sweater, that'd be a first.
I also wore my Amulette sweater for the first time this weekend, and it's just perfect. I expect to spend a lot of time with it this winter.
The sewing has been put on hold somewhat while I was trying to work on my latest print or busy knitting or having family at our place - we celebrated Heimlich's first birthday a little late on saturday. I know it's horribly cliché, but I can't believe it's been a year. It's so close still and yet so far away already... Today we took a walk he and I, for the first time. Just a short one through the garden and to the next bench on the sidewalk, but it felt like a milestone. He was trying to sit on the (wet) grass, of course, and wanted to pick up more leaves than he could hold. He got tired after the bench, seemed a little scared to have gone that far, and then we had to run home anyway because it started pouring. A wonderful autumn Sunday !

-- Oh, and on a not so nice note, we got another call from CreepyMan at work. Wrote down the number and told him so, should he try again it's going to be the cops' business.
