a small disappointment

We're supposed to be packing tonight. But our flight to Chattanooga was canceled due to the first Nor'easter to hit us in '08. Lousy timing. The kids were really excited about the trip. We were supposed to go here. And here. And here. If we're lucky, we'll be able to leave on Sunday morning.

That is the second disappointment of the week. The first came late Tuesday evening when it was clear my choice in candidate wouldn't be winning Ohio's primary. I was much happier on Sunday, when Jason and I got to shake hands with him. Later, a friend of a friend quoted us in this article about the election.

In the two to three seconds I spent not obsessing about the upcoming election, I did manage to plan out a few new crafting projects. I ordered some new fabric from phatfabrics (pictured above), and am planning on doing something with this in the new master bedroom.

I also took a trip with Lynne to a yarn shop and picked out some nice wool for a sweater I'm going to be starting. Yep, you heard me right. I've been knitting for five weeks and she has me starting a sweater. I love that girl's optimism.

Finally, I found out this week that I'll be participating in my first quilt swap! I'm really excited and have been thinking about what kind of design to work up. I promise leave American politics out of it.
