Just Feel Like Chatting!!!!

I know it has been to long between posts!!

I have pics to post and will do them tomorrow, after all tomorrow is my first day off since June 5th, yes school starts 8/18 for our southern babies!!!! No I'm to gitty, am I???

YOU BET I AM!!

I will miss my son just a little!!

Big Reminder:

NO GENERAL HELP CLASS THURSDAY NIGHT FOR THIS WEEK ONLY

I have been working on my Ravelympics Shawl quite regularly. I will be posting a picture of that tomorrow also.

Just Feel Like Chatting!!!!

Yes, this is another addition of my love for chatting!! I have had a productive week. I started my sock but had to put it to the side for now, why you ask, because of Ravolymics 08!! I am doing the Dayflower Daydream shawl with Harmony here are the pics:











I admit, I did not get to do much knitting last night but I fully intend to make some headway this weekend, I chose to do 2 Circulars because it is easier to manipulate with the fine yarn over dpns!! I think I will be putting markers on this project (i usually prefer to count as I knit) because after the 40th round I will have to restart this pattern and inject a new pattern in between the repeats, and that will happen 4 times!!

I can't wait to get my fingers on this today!!

I will be posting my progress here and on Ravelry. Just keep checking back to see it grow!!

Finally Got My Camera!!!

I finally got my camera, yeah!!! I am going to have a new label called my WIPS. This is where everyone who wants to see all the projects I do for myself and others will be tagged. Any yes, you will get to see how much I get (or don't get) done for myself!!

I am going to start with my sock yarn from Shannon. She gave this to me for my birthday.
I am going to do a cabled sock, not sure if I will write the pattern or follow one already written!!

I will be posting as I go now that I have my camera!!!

I would like to take this time to thank everyone for the birthday celebration!!!

THANK YOU!!

Thanks to Chris & Kelly for baking yummy cakes, Thanks to Sloane and Bailey for the flowers and it is my guess coordination of the celebration!!! Yes we all know Sloane is a "hub", Thanks to Shannon for the fabulous sock yarn by Juliespins on Etsy, fantatic smelling hand milled soap and the encouragement to buy my first spinning wheel. Thanks to Chris not only for the cake but the beautiful cross stitch/beaded roll and book. Thanks to Kim, Doni and Beth for the gifts, each one was very thoughtful and personal, now I get to pamper my skin and hair all while having my latte!!!

And last but not least, Thank you to all who celebrated with me!!

On Saturday, my day off and my actual birthday, I did just what I wanted, My family and I had lunch at Sweet Tomatoes, I shopped for appliances and browsed Home Goods!! Those who know me well know that lunching, shopping and being left alone to knit for myself are all luxuries!!! Oh yeah and I cut most of my hair off, I wasn't sure at first about cutting all the length off but Olesia at Salon Zion in a whiz and flat ironed or curly I am officially happy!!!

I am almost done with a baby blanket for our boyscout troops Asst. Scoutmaster's first grandchild!! I will be posting that pic by Friday.

I will have my August Schedule out by Friday as well!!

Just Feel Like Chatting!!!!

Just felt like recapping my whirlwind of a week.

As some of you know my son was in band camp, and last week was his last week of camp. Well... of coarse they had to have the evening recital on July 2nd due to July 4th festivities that begin on July 3rd at Cranes Roost, Red Hot and Boom and July 4th everywhere else. The concert was ok but those bleachers were not made for my size butt!!! It was held at one of the middle schools and I guess the bleachers were built for a middle school butt!!

July 3rd was a great show of Red Hot and Boom. We were by the tower at Cranes Roost so I ask this question, Why couldn't we hear a note of music? The fireworks were so loud but yet we could talk to each other without straining, last year we felt like we were at a rock concert!!! (which I prefer to experience while watching fireworks!!!) It was over by 10pm and it took us until 11:45 to get home, we only live 4 miles away!!! We had a great time but we don't know if we will go next year.

July 4th - as some of you know my son is a boyscout. Our troop parked cars for the Rotary Club in Sanford by the water. We had a blast and the RC made the best food for us. Thank you!! We came back home and my son and nephews and husband and brother in law lit off fireworks!!!
All I can say is, IT WAS LOUD!!

July 5th - went something like this--- I'm bored, lets shoot off fireworks, when are we going to do something fun, we never do anything fun. Can you guess who I am?? I'll bet you can!!!

July 6th - Thank goodness it is time to go teach at LYS ahh some relaxation finally!!!

I know I was very tired and tense on Sunday, so to all who had to endure me I say thank you for all of your patience!!

The best news of all: My husband started his new job!!!
My hubby has worked so hard for the past 10yrs and he found a job that placed the proper value on that experience...his first day went well, he gets a fabulous vibe from the place and he says the people are so great. He looks forward to a long and fruitful employment. I am so proud of him!!


Here are pics of my pups

This one is Dixie the Staffordshire Bullterrier. She is trained to go wait for people to greet her in her basket. As you can tell by the face she is trying her best to contain herself as she waits for acknowledgment. Staffies adore people, they prefer people over anything even food!! Dixie is 81/2 and is 40lbs.

This is a pic of Vivian the Chihuahua. She is up on the arm of the couch making sure she gets top billing from everyone. Chihuahuas love to be on top. And I mean it in every sense of the word!! Dixie lets her think so but every now and again she overshadows Vivian just to keep her on her toes!! Vivian is 2 1/2 and 5lbs
