When you follow a mosquito around the house, beating on it and chanting "Die die die you motherfucker die." I swear I hit that damn thing three times before it finally croaked.
Now my hand really hurts.

Backstory
- Julie
- Pennsylvania, United States
- I'm currently a stay at home mother, freelance writing on my off time, wondering how I became part of the ten thousand year old tradition of raising the kids while creating textiles. I grew up in NE Ohio dairy country, married a sailor, lived in Hawaii ten years, lived in SC for five years, then moved back to culture shock and confusion. Nothing but good times ahead.

Super pollen and mosquitoes in April. More good reasons to not live in the South! I hope your hand's not too bad.
I got my Bleeding Violet laceweight already!
I'm taking the kids to the movies this afternoon, so I'm going to use that time to swatch.
It's beautiful, thanks Julie!
Wait until the baby is old enough to shout "kill it! kill it! kill it!" in counterpoint!!! good times!
