BAD ME


So, Idk if I posted it yet. But a few weeks ago, I received another package from my SP! It was so cool. Was I think 7 or 8 skeins of Mission Falls 1824 Cotton and a bottle of body cream/hand lotion from Bath and Body Work that was Enchanted Orchid. I LOVE IT! I haven't knitted with Cotton yet, but It will be GREAT for the #88 dish cloth I'm going to start! Its just the right color. I will try to get photos on here tonight, but since I'm at work, without my memory card, I hope Flickr will let me put them up here. I have gotten the order put in for the next package I will send to MY sp! Super Excited about that!! :)

















My Christmas Gift arrived a month late! On Saturday January 24th, We welcomed home Teegan. A Yorkshire Terrier puppy. She is ADORABLE! I'm on the prowl for a pattern for a sweater for her, because the day we brought her home, a freakin' cold front came through and the poor little girl freezes when she goes potty. She's only 8 weeks old, so it's seemingly impossible to find a pattern for a teeny pup, and I'm not a professional, nor near intermediate knitter yet. Kelly says, maybe having to modify a pattern for my first sweater attempt won't be a good experience. I kinda have to agree. Anyway....Just remembered that I hadn't blogged about my SP package and I was excited about it!!!

ramblings of a tired woman's mind

blah! Omg...things are CRAZY! My dad lost his job the week of Christmas..throwing my finances for a loop. HOLY COW! Our wedding plans are now changing..and Heaven knows where/how. We're moving to North Carolina sometime around May or so. I got the official go ahead to plan wedding for February 14th!! YAY! That would be awesome. Maybe I can pull it off. IDK though. money being tight I don't know what it will be like. I picked the dress, 100 bucks. that's awesome.
Kelly and I decided to do a KAL, and she's making a sweater/vest thing for her baby, and I'm making one for my kiddos teddy bear. So far I have about half the back done...but I don't seem to be getting anywhere on the arm holes...i just don't have the energy to do it tonight. Started a scarf for a friend, get about 1/3 done, and I'm like, Oh this is AWFUL...so I junked it. And I was knitting two colors together, and had tried 3 seperate patterns...No matter how I tried it I couldn't get the colors seperated, and had to throw the whole skein away. (2 skeins really...but it's okay. they were on sale for cheap...I'm not too heart broken.) I know that's yarn abuse, but there was no hope for it! LOL! TERRIBLE! Anyway...I super need to start shopping for my SPs next gift! woohoO! Hope I make a good choice... anyway...off I go, I better start working again
