The Olympics

I have been completely obsessed with the Olympics this year.  I have never been like this before.  Nothing around the house is getting done.  My son is pretty into it too, which doesn't help matters.  It's so funny; we have been sitting on the couch watching other people exercise.  

I've never really listened to the Olympics before, and I think that's the difference this time around.  The announcers make everything sound so exciting.  I realized I was hooked when I was watching cross country skiing, something I had always found incredibly boring.  Boy was I wrong!  Those announcers are shouting about this and that and I can't look away.   And Short Track, I can't begin to express my love for you.  My stomach is in knots as the skaters race around and around that small oval.  

So, thankfully, the Olympics will be over soon and I can turn off the TV and get back to things. My fingers have been itching to get something into production for my new niece or nephew due in a few weeks. Time is running short, and I haven't even decided what to make, much less found a pattern.  My sister-in-law is a quilter, so I don't think I should make a blanket, as I am sure she has made a beautiful one of her own.  But, maybe.  You really can't have too many blankets I don't think.  Looking to do something classy and timeless.  I will have to tear my eyes away from the Games and start perusing Pinterest and Ravelry and see what I can come up with.
