A trip to Michaels

And once again, I didn't buy yarn.

I did get some beads, though. I got these blue teardrop-shaped glass beads with yellow-green accents in them, some small amber-coloured beads (I can't remember if they're glass or not), these cool metal charms - I think two of them were teapots, two were cups, and one was this cameo thing, and... I can't remember what the other one was - and a pack of findings and wire. I haven't started beading yet, but I'm gonna keep hitting the clearance racks and the sales.

I was going to get yarn, but Mom kinda steered us back to the beads :( Apparently, I can just knit from HER stash to make the punk fingerless gloves I want to make. Even though the pattern says to use Red Heart and Caron. Argh.

Eh... I'll just wait for when Red Heart Super Saver goes on sale. Or I can use the dark green and tan Red Heart that I have... blah... I think that the next time I make a birthday list for Grandpa, I'll put a Michaels gift card on it ;)

I went to Michaels and didn't buy yarn

But there were beads on sale, so I got a pair of large bird beads :)

I think I'll string one on some black satin cord I have leftover from a beaded key chain kit that Patti got me for Christmas once. Or maybe it was my birthday. I don't know. All I know is that it was a late gift, and my brother had to leave a message on her answering machine to actually get our presents.

After Michaels, we went to PetSmart because we had to get cat litter, and this dog with curly black fur (don't know what breed it was) came up to us and said hello. And a little dog saw Dad and started dancing happily. It was really cute. And another guy had a spaniel of some kind and was looking at the Kong toys, and Dad recommended these orange street hockey balls that we got for our dogs.

And then we went to Indigo. I didn't really get anything, but me and Mom are gonna share the 25 Cushions to Knit book that we got. Mom got a couple other books, too.

So, I reserved the book Home for the Holidays from the library. It's a book of short stories that has the one short story that the movie Home for the Holidays was based on.

I think I'm gonna read more of Blood and Chocolate today, and try and work on finishing it. And I have to read more of the GED book to keep Mom from bitching me out.
