Storm


There is a storm in the village today and the school is closed. My son is sleeping like an angel but my daughter is up, planning cheerleader routines. She has always dreamed about being a cheerleader - but we don't really have that in Iceland. When she was seven or so my sister brought her a little cheer leading outfit from Kansas - and she loved that and wore it every chance she got. That outfit has now been passed on to a little cousin who loves it no less.

Last weekend we had this big cultural weekend - remember? One part of that was a marked I and a friend organised. In that marked three sister had a wonderful stall with all kinds of used things - and among them were five pairs of cheer leading pom- poms! They were only 200króna (1.5$) a pair so I bought them all. So now the plan is to start a small cheer leading squad.

On thing I was wandering about - the poms are rater heavy - I that usual?

On the knitting front: I'm up to the intarsia part and it's fun but kind of slow. I'm doing it on the round, and that is much easier than I thought.
