Random Monday

Ever want to be lazy and use a cake mix but then KNOW that you and your family can't eat a whole cake? Well, while I was talking to a friend, she mentioned that she just would use 1/2 a cake mix and save the rest for later. What a great idea. So, Saturday afternoon, I did just that. I weighed 1/2 the mix and made the Pineapple Upside Down cake. We will probably have one later this week when Dad & Linda come for a visit.

I finished my second sock last night during the BORING Oscar Award Show. I personally wanted to watch Footballer's Wives but.........got overruled so it is on Tivo tonight.

This sock took 2/3 of the first ball so I will probably have enough for a pair of footies from two balls. This yarn has 250 yards per skein.

Finally, I HATE IT when I buy pants with slash pockets that fit in every other way but the pockets pooch out and draw attention to your saddle bags. I never understand this because I see the same thing happen in women that are quite slim....the pockets pooch out.
Yesterday, I sewed down the pockets on the 3 new pairs of pants I got last weekend. What a huge difference. Crazy thing? The pockets were so short you could not have put anything in them and expect the item to stay in your pocket.

I learned that little tip from the every annoying (thank goodness for Tivo so I can buzz through the bad parts) US television show "What Not to Wear".
