Merry After Christmas!

I survived!

At least I think I did! I had 16 people in my house for X-mas eve, but it went pretty well!~

The kids all had a good time!
They all made cookies to send home for Santa! and Joe and Lili helped make the Gingerbread house!

I Finally was able to give my sister Jodi her purse! My sister Lori made a Pie for dessert that was Awsome! Oh and Joe gave us a trumpet concert!

Just so you know there is no order to this blog, I swear someday I will organize all this and make it pretty!

The kids loved thier presents! Lili was a tad crabby! but since she had such a long weekend I dont blame her!

OH! and on the knitting side of things! I got some yarn from Adam! (Plus some fabric and buttons!) ALSO my NIRVANA dvd!!!!!!!!! I also got a gc to knit picks from my parents! Oh and some more yarn from my sister Lori! LOTS TO DO!

Above all, I finally got Steph's scarf done! I felted it in the washing machine, and it actually turned out! I had to go to the store and get a new skein cause I was 9 rows short! Yeap! 9 rows and I was not about to let it go! But now it's done and all is well!

I also gave my mom her minipeds and her stripey socks! She called this morning to tell me again how much she loves them!

So It's off to more knitting, I have many a birthday coming up and no time to waist!
Hope you all had a great weekend and enjoy the count down to the new year!!!!

CHEERS!

Getting HIGH on yarn!

Sorry about the delay in days... Life has been a tad crazy!
lets see lets see......

I went to the yarn store the other day and got some new yarn! Oh and #2.75mm cause I lost one!


OH! Das Jeep starts! Just a little corosion! She's all better!

Oh and I have a DARE graduate! Joe graduated from DARE this week too!

It's been a little crazy so far! I have 4 days till xmas and just dont care anymore! If they get it they get it, if not.... they never knew it was coming anyhow! :)

Did I tell you how much I love Ravelry, Nirvana, The White Stripes, Yarn, and my Nikon! I dont think I would have gotten through my day without any of them! OH OH OH OH!
More cool news! I am upgrading my office machines to OS 10.5! So If I'm down awhile... It didn't go well!

(PAUSE IN BLOG - gotta go print something!)





This is Leathal George! He is my little buddy at work! - he doesn't bite too often!



Anyhow, It's been an interesting week and hopefully it will be a good weekend!
I'll try to post tomorrow and this weekend....
If not

HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO YOU ALL AND SAFE KNITTING!!!!!

Oh Canada!

How cool was my day yesterday! I got my yarn gift exchange from Canada!

Megan is way super cool! This is what I got!



I can't wait to co the socks in the pattern! I
really enjoyed doing this exchange this year! OH! cool factoid! Megan
lives close to the island Adam grew up on and where we hope to retire!
Of all the people that could have been chosen for me how cool is that!
Again! THANKS!

ok, so yesterday I had a Cluster Headache which completly knocked me out, I wish I could explain it all but it didn't feel good! Anyhow, I left work early because Joe had his open rehersal for band. He played a solo so I was proud! (I played trumpet for 7 years and my dad played in hs too!) went home, got my yarn, and crashed!!!

I did get some pics of the projects I'm workin on Dad's socks, Steph's scarf
and jodi'sgift which I can't put up now (prying eyes),

but I will add a cool pic I took in the parking lot of
my shop....Can you say cold? the drips from cars are freezing!

I can see again!!!!

ok, so I just put the new mirrors on the jeep! HISTORY: a few weeks ago, we got a jeep for the shop with a snow plow on it. It's a 1990 Jeep YJ, she has rock climber tires, suspension, and transmission! Oh and she's red! Anyhow, needless to say her former owners didn't love her as they should have so she needs a little work ie: rust, mirrors, no headlight lowbeams, no horn, etc. SHE GOT HER MIRRORS! both side and rearview which will make a difference, for she only had one on the driverside, and her rearview was a tad... you could say unusable.

She is what I have always wanted! I see her imperfections, but they only mean she needs a little extra love and I am willing to do that! At least she got a new windsheild just before she came home! I will be updating her progess as it goes!

As for knitting.... Jodi's gift is in a blocking process and should be done tonight/ tomorrow, finishing techniques so no worries! I went to start Dad's gift and came to realize I have no 6dpns! I have many others, but NO US6! GRRRRRR hopefully I will be able to get to get some this weekend! I have also found some not scary sock patterns that really excite me!

THANKS to all my rav. people! They have given me the greatest ideas! LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!!!!!


anyhow, I'll add some pics of Cherry (my baby (jeep)) once the camera comes back to the shop. It's at an abandoned resturant right now - very horror movie look!
