Oh my!

It's almost done! My package for my pal! I just had to wait for a ride to the fabric store from my hubby as my right foot is currently incapacitated. I can drive with my left foot but I'm not confident enough to drive further than Starbucks or target. My right leg starts to cramp up from being tucked underneath my left foot. Anyway think about trying to drive your car left footed while your entire right leg is almost 3 times the normal size (in a boot thingy) and it's as hard as a rock.
I've been notified by my upstream pal that her owl has been sent so I'm eagerly awaiting with owl treats on hand. It's a balmy 100 + degree day outside so I'll make sure I don't send her home until after dark and keep her cool under the ceiling fan and air conditioner until then.
Fortunately for my downstream pal the delay in getting what I needed to finish her bag has resulted in quite a bit of extra time for me to pick up extras here and there and add them to the kit. Oh my I may need 2 owls to carry it to her! I've had tones of fun with this term and I can't wait to come back to Hogwarts next year. Though there is still some time left in this year I can feel the end coming and the encroaching return to muggledom!
I've finished a couple pairs of socks in the mean time and I'm finishing up a little pair of shoes for my niece and starting work on 2 dresses for my nieces. Since they are 6 years apart in age my sister can't find any matching little clothes for them and Auntie is getting a kick out of making them little dresses. Well my 6 year old niece isn't so little but she will still look very cute! And if I have enough fabric left I may try and make some of those little cloth shoes for the baby. We shall see. My knitting projects are uncharacteristically half done! I have about 4 or 5 half finished or barely started things right now. A little bit of startiitis I think. You shall see pictures of my package from my pal soon if the Owl delivery notification system is correct. :) I'm so excited! Off to eat some crapy frozen dinner for lunch as all this sitting on my butt has caused me to get fat.
