Yesterday morning I battled this

Yesterday morning I battled this

To deliver my child, along with 179 others, to school to head off for their three day camp.

This is how she looked once we arrived. Totally distracted, couldn't muster up a smile for the camera or a kiss for her poor mother. She had friends to find and buses to board. Sigh.
I had to pester her for a goodbye kiss. She's been gone 26 hours, and I feel like a lost soul, LOL! I cleaned the house yesterday, and I knit a bit, and generally wandered around, waiting for DH to get home from work and keep me company. Even the bunny is feeling smothered. I'm so pathetic :)
She'll be home tomorrow afternoon, so it's not like she'll be gone long.
So to kill time, I went Internet window shopping. It's Easter Sunday this weekend, so that means Lent is over, and I can buy yarn!
Wendy's gift certificate is still burning a hole in my pocket, and I have been resisting temptation since I got it. Although, every morning I check Elann just to make sure theres still some Sock It To Me Esprit left ;)
If it looked as if it were selling out, I would have grabbed it! So this weekend, I will buy some, and I've been checking out everything else, too. I think I might grab some Peruvian Collection Baby Cashmere to make myself some nice, soft, pretty lacy gloves now that winter is coming to the Southern Hemisphere.
So here is the question. Does anyone know of a pretty lacy glove pattern for fingering weight yarn? I don't mind if it is a pattern in a book, as long as I can pick it up somewhere. Don't tell me of a gorgeous pattern that is out of print, okay? ;)
I'm looking forward to ordering my yarn and getting a package again, I miss my parcels! I haven't had one for ages, and I think the Post Office staff are getting lazy without my packages coming in. ;)

They grow up so fast! I don't have any kids but I'm living vicariously through you.

I haven't knit any lace gloves but I did a quick Google search for lace gloves and found this free pattern:

They look pretty. Maybe if you knit them you can let us know how tha pattern is? :-)

Make sure you rest up so you're strong for all the
the stinky washing she'll bring home. Young nephew went to a Year 7 Knox Grammar camp from Monday to late Friday last week. My poor brother just about needed a clothespeg for the nose when he emptied out a bag of smelly, wet, dirty clothes. And it's just started raining over here at Ashfield. Hope she stays dry.

Awww...you miss your baby! I don't know anything about that yet...I'm more like Em in that I'm just trying to leave and my mom wants to follow me out the door! I must say it looks gorgeous where you are though. I'm hoping for some sunshine soon. I can't go internet knit window shopping...I want it all!!! I just want yarn to have it to look at and pet....how pathetic!
