I'm knitting Rosemary Waits's Fair Isle Harry Potter Bag, I have been all day, but I thought to take a break.
My roommate and I have been watching moves all day long. I just watched Carla and Connie for the first time and I love it. It was so funny that I laughed almost the whole way through.
But the real reason that I'm here is because I've thought of names that I'd want to name my daughters. I don't expect that I'm going to really have children, but I spend quite some time think about their names. I will absolutely name my son Jude, maybe Jude Alexander. I like the gentle ring of the name Jude, I think the world needs a few more Judes around anyway.
As for my daughters: Penelope, Chrysanthemum, and Mohtley Truhe.
The Whys:
Penelope is classic. It's unassuming and beautiful. It' hits at strength and justice, good morals, sound upbringing. I like the ring of it and also two of my favourite heroines have been named Penelope. I wish it were my name.
Chrysanthemum is a name I was destined to name another. Ever since that darn children's book was read to me. About the small mouse with a big, beautiful name, that had to overcome the overwhelming dejection of being different. And she does with a flair, and such courage, and happiness. I know I should think long and hard about this, but I have been for years. I'm almost sure!
And Mohtley Truhe. Mohtley is the name of my heroine. She small and sweet and curious, but extremely clever and kind. It's a name for an Adventurer, for a girl who sees the sun shining on every new path, every old by-way or highway. Just another good time to explore. Mohtley would be her first name, and Truhe the middle. I can almost hear myself calling out in motherly anger: 'Mohtley Truhe! get your butt down here!'
Well I should get back to knitting since I have two other projects to finish by Monday....oh wait I have much more than that.
*Sigh.
Wish me happy crafting ;]
