Lace woes

I decided to scrap the Mediterranean Lace shawl in the Jaggerspun Zephyr yarn--way too heavy a yarn for that delicate pattern! I will order this yarn as opposed to this yarn because:
1) it will only cost me $50 instead of $120
2) it comes in cones instead of hanks (fewer ends to deal with!)
3) wpi are very very similar (30wpi versus 32wpi). The Zephyr is 22wpi.
4) color! I am leaning towards getting the pink.

I went through my lace books and earmarked patterns for my laceweight yarn stash. I will make the "Half-Square in Trinity Stitch" from Victorian Lace Today (p 126) with my purple/green/white variegated; the "Sampler Shawl-1840 heirloom" from VLT (p 58) with the white Zephyr; and the "Frost Flowers and Leaves" from A Gathering of Lace (p 59) with the fawn laceweight. I'm going to start the sampler now and work on it until I can restart Mediterranean Lace.

It's been a lazy weekend here...errands yesterday, sitting around today. I was going to finish cleaning the downstairs today (read: pack up and get rid of junk that we haven't used since we moved in and vacuum up cobwebs), but I just. don't. feel. like. it. Plus Sir B was supposed to dig up the flowers in the front yard that WON'T DIE and are interfering with our new landscaping, but he has a flare-up of gout and has been hobbling around since Friday, so that's being put off until sometime during the week. I'm surprised ANYTHING gets done around here, we are both such procrastinators!!
