all the while she keeps insisting

November 20, 2008 | Filed Under inspired 

i really need good boots!  and new glasses!  this girl, mia, has been haunting me (must be because she’s inspired by witches) lately.  i love her massive scarf.  one year, for christmas, my mother made me a scarf that was about six feet long and was crocheted with two strands of yarn.  it was the color of oatmeal, yummy oatmeal, and it was very warm.  i tried to wear it, i really did.  it made me hot.  it was like wrapping up in a woolen rug.  i don’t know what i did with it.  where did you go, longest scarf in the world?

the dishes are done, ernie is reading to the boys, lola, who crawled in after them as i sat here clicking through the looks of helsinki.  annie brought some kind of chocolate devilry over last night and now i can’t stop thinking of it.  secret stash of m&ms does not do the trick, i promise you.

    those boots are awesome. i keep finding great ones at anthropologie, but i don’t have even $50 for boots, let alone $400. urbanoutfitters.com has affordable boots and h&m has some chunky scarves last time i checked, probably not 6 ft long though :)

    So six feet isn’t THAT long…I think I make all my scarves 6 feet long, except for the one I made for Ernie a few years ago when I had just discovered the Gilmore Girls. I just kept on crocheting and watching season one and his scarf was about 10 feet long, perfect for a tall man, I think!!!

    Oh, Sandi, they really are! I keep a gaggle of them for days like today and sometimes even wear one in the house when it feels a bit chilly. Of course, Mollie would wear on in my house in the middle of July because of the air!
