Amalie and I went to the library today while her dad and Theresa went to go pick up a friend to spend the night with us. I got Amy Tan's book The Bonesetter's Daughter and Sense & Sensibility by Jane Austen on tape. And we rented Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I find those little oompah-loompah men scary, but I'll try not to influence her when we watch it. They were not, I repeat, not green in the book which was one of my favorites. Oh, and did you know that Roald Dahl's parents were Norwegian? Now you do.

I also picked up some yarn, 3 balls of worsted weight stuff for the blanket I've got stashed away somewhere. I'm making little dishcloth size squares out of stash yarn to put together to make a wrapping up on the couch blanket. And I bought some Gjestal 1/2 wool, 1/2 alpaca yarn called Alpakka in a light gray color to try Kool Aid dyeing! I'm so excited! Clara mailed the Kool Aid to me and I have : Cherry, Lemon-Lime, Solar Strawberry Starfruit and Grape. :o) This is how it should come out. We'll see !
In progress with the Lemon-Lime... looks like green spaghetti to me...
