Blah

It's raining and overcast today and of course I have 1001 chores to do and am totally NOT motivated! You know those days where you just want to sit on your duff and do nothing? That's me! LOL

I started another petal hat for my other preggers friend. I need to find some DPN (double pointed needles) so i can attempt my hand at booties. I haven't been able to find any so far here on post (suprise suprise) so perhaps I need to bite the bullet and order some online.

My little man has a cold and consequently developed an ear infection so we have to force-feed him the lovely pink amoxicilin 4 times a day. He doesn't care for it too much so coughing and spitting tends to spread it everywhere but his mouth. lol My oldest daughter is doing well with her preschool and we are almost done with it.

Well, speaking of school we just finished and now have to get ready for her ballet class....so ttyl!

This is the "Petal Hat" I made for my friend. I am making another for ANOTHER preggers lady that's due in like 2 weeks. I gave up on that cardigen...this yarn was originally for that but it was frogged and I made this instead. I like how it turned out....very girlie but not too girlie.  

Here are the stitch markers that my SP made for me....I LOVE the color blue!! 

Here is that awesome bracelet! My SP's friend makes these with semi-precious stones. It's so pretty I love it!! 

This is the latest present from my secret pal! Two skeins of some beautiful blue cotton yarn; a book called "abounding faith", some 'K' post-it notes (love them BTW!!!) some stitch holders and a "knit" bracelet which is beautiful! (I am wearing it as I type!!!!) Thankyou SOOOO much Secret Pal!!! 

Finally finished something!

I have been in a knitting FUNK lately! I haven't wanted to pick up the needles for a long time. But I have 2 friends that are due next month so I HAD to make something. So I found this pretty patter for a "Petal Hat" on www.knitnet.com and I actually FINISHED it!!! LOL It turned out really well and I wish I had a little girl to make one for....but alas my boy wouldn't wouldn't look good in pink. I want to knit him some slippers or something, but that will have to wait for the fall because it's getting dang hot here lately. When one has been used to 35 degree weather for so long, when it jumps to 65-70 it feels like a heat wave!

I am trying to knit my friend some mittens for her baby to match the hat. But the pattern I used was "jacked up" as my DH would say and it didn't turn out very well. So I have to find a new one...or if I was smart I would just make up my own pattern.

Anyway DH wants me to go spend some quality time with him on the couch watching "Small Ville" so i'd better go....can't wait for season 4!!!

Happy blogging

Back from the dead

Where have I been you might ask??? Nothing exciting, just mundane everyday work. It seems to have doubled since DH came home for some reason. So laundry and kiddos rule the roost at the moment!

And to my Secret Pal~~ Yes I did get the box and LOVE everything!!! I would post a pic for all to see but DH has built a new puter and that has the camera dock and program on there. I am using the ole stand by puter now so I can actually get online now and then. )Those of you married to computer geeks will understand this! LOL) But anyways, she sent me 2 skeins of this lovely blue cotton yarn! And I am itching to make something with it!! Blue is my fav. color! She also sent me some BLUE stitch markers and a BLUE bracelet; and a little book of faith. OH! and some post-it notes in the shape of a 'K' which is too cool!! Thank you secret pal!!!!!

I totally frogged that cardigen I was working on. I just am retarded or something cause I kept trying to get it right and nothing was working. SO , I have moved on to making a hat. It's called a "petal hat" and looks really pretty and feminine. Liek I said I WOULD post a pic, but.....

Everything else is going smoothly. DH and I are having a blast being back together. Now comes the fun part of moving back to the states. We are waiting for orders to ship everything, and trying to find a house to buy (scary!!!!). Having to take on a morgage is a scary thing!!! But I know God is there and will help us in finding one and eveything. Just have to stay on track with what He wants for us and not get clouded with what WE want.

I joined a knitting circle last month and am looking forward to going again. It was nice to sit and knit with people far more experienced than me. I am hoping some of their wisdom and knitting abilities will rub off on me! LOL

well, we are going swimming today at the local pool, so I must pry my hands away from the keyboard and get ready. LOL I hope to be posting pix soon. I need to get with my friend to figure out how to post more than 1 pic in a post.

God Bless
