Home Safe

Howdy! We made it home safe and sound and now just need to unpack, do laundry and then move. Wow that makes me tired to just type it out. We had a very good time on our trip and I will have pictures very soon. This will be a short blog because I don't have time to download pictures and rant...LOL I will be back tomorrow though so look for more then. I worked on my purse that I will feature here. That may come in this week.

Best Wishes for a great week ahead and Happy New Year!!!!!

See Ya Saturday!!!

I just got home and I am now waiting on Ed to get here to leave on our trip. Lexy had her hair done and other unpleasant things done to her so she is ready to roll. The blog will probably be quiet for a week but I shall return with new pictures and hopefully a lot of crafting done. I stopped in to the shop to say hi and the girls were there crocheting and as always was good to see them. Pretty projects are in the works from them so we shall see! Good work ladies!
*soapbox* Stupid drivers......UGH can I say UGH UGH? Why is everyone in such a hurry? If I am doing 45 in a 40 or gawd forbid a 35, why do people fly by me as if I took away their birthday? This country needs a time out. Everyone needs to go home and just stop. JUST STOP!!! Thursday night on my way home people were by passing the armature at a train track. Mind you it was cold and rainy and DUH it usually means a TRAIN! I cannot visualize world peace until we find some right here in our own back yards. Glenda the good witch was right "There's NO place like home!" I am off to visit the land of my birth. While I am riding, driving and crafting, I think I will take my own time out and just find some good chi. *soapbox*
I hope all of you have a happy New Year and visualize USA Peace and the end of stupid drivers! LOL
Be Well

Friday & Flabulous!

Well I woke up around 430 am. What was I thinking??? MY body kept getting drowning messages from the combination of sinus problems and my CPAP. I gave up around 430 and just got up. OK so what do you do that time of day? You KNIT or CROCHET! I did both! I started on a sock because I got my ebay needles. I got to the second needle of the first row and had to rip it all out. My yarn was trapped in the middle of the circle. I know that is not right so I started over!
Around 830 or so UPS knocked on the door. I was not dressed so he got me at the door wrapped in a blanket and my jambones...LOL It was the package from my sister. That is now the picture of the day! I dont know if I did all her gifts justice, but I hope to have captured all of it nicely. She went way beyond what I expected! I cannot wait to try the knitting needles. They are the adjustable ones for in the round. The Santa face is on a tree skirt since she noticed my poor tree has no clothes on...LOL I dont know about you but I see a purse in the future of that yarn woooo wooooo!
Today is packing day and I dont mean a weapon....unless you count my wit...LOL I need to get packed and get my DL and get the house cleaned up. If I get it all done today, I can go knit tomorrow! If I dont get finished, I may have to stay home and work and that is NO fun!
As I progress with my socks, I will take pix so you can cheer me on. Please cheer me on. hahahahahahaha
OK I need to get dressed for the DMV...dang those folks for requiring clothing...LMAO Be well!!!

Wednesday Woes

The pictures today are of the finished product Alex's scarf & hat set. My BF said no fringe because boys don't do fringe so there is no fringe. I doubled it over and crocheted it into a tube. I hope this makes it very warm without it being too big for his neck and face. Alex is 6 and my little man. I hope he likes this set. I will get it mailed off as soon as I can get it packed O;)
OK so today I feel like crap. I could be gentle and say something nice, but I just don't feel that good...LOL Last night Ed & I went to see the Chipmunks movie. I LOVED it!!! OMG I laughed and laughed. I remember watching them on TV as a kid and having their albums. They updated the Witch Doctor song and that made me sad....I prefer the old version.
OK so last night I found something new to bitch about annoying me. Shocked aren't you??? There were some small kids there last night with squeakers in their shoes. Now maybe their parents see this as cute and they always know where their kids are....but MY LORD! Not only was the squeak annoying as He!!.....they were late going in to their movie and I can only imagine what the people in there thought of the darn squeaks coming in and disrupting the movie. I think I would have booooooed!!! LOL
They could have picked up the kids & carried them in but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I am glad I was not in the same movie with them. Whew saved by the grace of God there!
OK that is off my chest!!! I need to finish up some work on my purses I have in the works and then I am writing a pattern for one I am doing! Give me time to make it up...LOL & then I hope you like it!

Merry Christmas

Well the big day is here!!! Was Santa good to you??? It is a beautiful day here. My family is safe and happy and all are well. This is the best gift I can get. Today's photos are of my Christmas tree (pretty huh??) 2007 and my best baby girl Miss Lexy. She has her duckie (her puppy) and looks so cute doesn't she??? Life has been blessed by having her in my life. I will always think of her as my heart song.
What is on the hook now??? I have finished the scarf and hat set for Alex and will post a picture next time. I am starting a bag that I hope to post the pattern soon as well. I have slowed down the new projects so I can finish some things up. I made new sections for Warm up America. I have my wrap on the knitting needles. I won an ebay auction for some needles (dp needles of many sizes). I will need them for socks next year. Speaking of next year, I will be on vacation for a few days to SC. I will be spending time with Ed's Mother and my Parents. I will get a lot of road crafting done. I am throughly excited. Christmas supper is almost done so I will say bye for now. I wish you all many blessings and a Happy year ahead!!!

The Day after Wine, Women & Wool

OK so yesterday I was too busy to blog. I was making weenies in a blanket and trying to get things together for my night at the knit shop. OMG it was a blast and so many of my friends were there making it a great night to one of those days! It was a great pot luck and the goodies were delicious. Thank you to everyone who contributed to the grub. I worked on my crochet purse and made some head way on it. I gave my 3 girls their meager little gift but I tell you it was the joy in knowing them to give them something that made me feel good.
Today's picture is for my son-in-law Roy. It is a scarf. I found it is tough to photograph a scarf...LOL but there it is. It is soft and warm and I hope he likes it! It gets cold in Spokane so I know they can use them. Today has been laundry day and I hate laundry. I love to fold and iron but hate the loading & unloading of the machines.
OK off to do some housework and work on craft projects....ooops as I type that the dryer has buzzed ....well poo...guess I have to unload it LOL
Have a great weekend if I dont get back to you!!! Be well!!!

Wowser Wednesday

Sheeshhhhhh where did this week go??? I have been sickly but trying to keep going. Today I will be transplanting plants from the old house to the new. It is nearly 70 degrees here so I am in shorts and will be using the shovel. How sexy is that??? I have on my red Wells Fargo hat, purple tank, purple flower shorts and orange shoes.....you cant get much better than that can you?
I have a bitch for today. If you can explain this to me, I would love to hear it. I have been annoyed lately about a restaurant with beautiful flat screen TVs in them and the sound off. On top of that, they have horrible music playing so loud you cannot chat with your dinner partner. If I get interested in what is on TV, I cannot hear what is being said. I think it is very rude to watch TV while dining with a friend anyway. The music playing overhead is too loud and it is usually some screaming sound a cat would run from. Maybe it is younger managers selecting the station but it is annoying. An instrumental would be better. I do not want to listen to words while I am trying to talk. OK restaurant owners, do something about this!!! It is annoying.
OK that is off my chest! LOL
I have no new pictures. WHAT you say??? How can that be? I think it is the time of the year. I am busy doing so many things I cannot concentrate on just one. I am behind on my projects and pictures but you just wait until the new year!!!
OK I am off to move plants! Be well, Be happy and be yourself as no one else has time to master you!
Chao!
