With a little help from my friends...

the theme of the last few days!

on Sunday, a few of us helped Michelle put together a few things for her wedding.



We cut. We scored. We glued and tied, and re-tied... we got high and had a few glasses of wine. (have you ever worked with rubber cement for longer than 5 minutes w/o getting high?)

We had pre-arranged with Michelle's DH a sneaky way to get back into the house when we left for dinner, so that we could surprise her...



with her very own lantern moon 5 tier basket! I think she was truly surprised, and I loved that it was such a sneaky tricksy thing to do!

We spent all day Sunday with her, doing wedding stuff, and I don't think I knit one stitch all day. Such a shame to spend the entire day with knitters and not knit at all.

More help was to be had at home. I think I have accumulated enough boxes to move a small army. I have packed up my knitting books, and decided that my knick knacks (mostly candles) could be packed away. (Does anyone think that I have too many? I mean, I filled an entire box... with just candles. Shit. I think I like to horde things).

Look who came to help!



he sure is cute, but certainly NOT very helpful. The epitome of the phrase "bung dow mung" since I had to fight him tooth and nail for every piece of newspaper I wanted to use to wrap my candles in...
