I just could not take it anymore, I had to get out of the house and I dragged the kids and the husband with me. I decided we were going to the mall, the kids would play in the play area and then we would get some mall food and come home and veg out, well, the husband thought it would be great to get some video games while we were there, so I agreed. I got two games. LOTR Third age, and Two Worlds – go me (I am such a geek). Then he got Pirates of the Caribbean for Pink and Eragon for Bugs. We had a lot of fun, I got hit on (Which was kind of creepy) and then we came home relaxed and they all went to bed. Now it’s my turn. G’night.
and a Bizillion to go. 
My baby brother just turned 24 years old!! That means I am going to be 30 this year!! Wait, did I say 30, I meant 20, yeah, 20 that’s it.
I started Bug’s poncho, basically it’s the same as her sisters, so I am still in the planning stage, but I will keep you updated on both of them.
well, I started the broomstick lace poncho for Pink. Let’s hope I can get it done for spring – though I might cheat and do a few rows in lace, kit a bunch on the bond ISM and then do a few more rows in BSL to finish it out. We’ll see, though I could make a really interesting trim with BSL and do the body on the Bond. I’ll have to think about it.
Sorry, I have been busy. Today is my sister-in-law’s birthday. I have no idea what I am supposed to do for her, other than call and wish her happy b-day. That’s it for today, nothing special.
The kids have decided the dog need me – apparently at some point in the last two years I gave birth to a puppy because they said I am his mother - to make him a blanket. Luckily my grandmother-in-law just gave me her stash of knitting a crochet tools with a boat-load of cheap yarn. So I have plenty of yarn to make him is easy crochet blanket – which I will post pictures of later.
Last night was a lovely family dinner at my mother's house. Mom was in a good mood, Dad was in a good mood yet somehow there was still tension. Why do you ask? Well, it's simple, my BIL is a drug addict. I say is and not was because he's less than a month out of Rehab and I don't think it worked very well. He's still got the same drug attitude and still treats my sister like crap. So dinner was strained, they had to eat in a hurry so BIL could get to his NA meeting, and I wanted to ask him what the point was. It's not that I don't believe be can stay clean and become a productive member of society - my husband and my brother are living proof that it can happen, but with the BIL, he's not ready yet and until he is, Sunday dinner is going to crap.
It pays to go snooping around my mother's house. You never know what treasures you might find. I found an old Hairpin Crochet loom and a pair of size 35 knitting needles - now I don't have to buy anything to do them! Hehe, I feel so clever today. Anyway, this is the stuff I made to learn how to do it - well, mostly anyway, I still have to figure out how to attach hairpin Lace strips, but that will come when I have time. X-mas 2008 projects have already started, which means Mom and I will be in planning stages next Tuesday.
Okay, I like The King just as much as anyone else does, but last night while I was at my mother's house, we watched two of the most bizarre movies ever created. The first was called Live Little, Love Little and the other was Walk Away, Joe. Now, both movies seemed to have no plot. I guess in the 1960's they'd put anything on film. Anyway, I know it's not much of a post, but I am kind of busy today.
Well, we got a something from the vet in the mail today, and it was made to look like a birthday card for the dog. So both my daughters, Pink and Bugs, just had to get him birthday presents and cards, then, since it was a 60 degrees outside, the had to throw him a party out there. It wasn't much, they the girls and the dog had fun.
It’s the name of my daughter, Pink’s, cat. He is the most loving, tolerant animal I know. The hubby attributes it to brain damage caused by Pink hitting his head on door jambs too much as she carried them around when they were both little. He could be right, or he could be wrong. All I know is the cat gets majorly ticked off when Pink spends the night at Nana’s house and he gets angry (Claws out kind of angry) when Pink gets in trouble. It’s an interesting relationship I think only a child and an animal can form, the kind of relationship formed before the magic is gone.
This is what I made today. It’s a pouch for my camera with a slot for extra batteries. Now I just put it in my purse and not have to carry the camera bag with me. And if I am lucky, the hubby will keep his paws off my camera now that he has his own.
I used a size I crochet hook, Caron Simply Soft in Lemonade and Limelight – one strand of each, and then I just kind of worked my rows and rounds until it fit the camera the way I wanted it to. Then I did the same thing for two AA batteries. I think it came out pretty cute. I work some more on my scarf tomorrow. The hat, Scarf and glove set I am making for me will probably be something I won’t ware until next fall, but it will be one less thing I have to make this summer, so go me!
I may or may not post the pattern for this. But this is my current yarn project. I think it’s going well after two false starts. I am knitting it on my Yellow Long Loom Knifty Knitter with Caron’s Simply soft yarn in Violet and Off White. I plan on making a hat and once my mother gets those Wonderlooms, I will make two sets of matching gloves. Anyway, I’ll keep ya updated on my progress.
Well, he did it, The Hubby finally got the new Xbox 360 up and running. We only have two games, but at least now I can play video games again. And he got me a pink controller to go with it, hehe. Me liking the pink controller is kind of funny thing because I used to hate pink, but after have two girls – one who loves pink, I find myself getting more and more pink items. Who knows why, but it’s true.
Anyway, now that I’ve been off on a tangent, it’s installed and working, so that’s one thing of the ever growing to do’s list. Now if I could just get him to throw out the boxes to all the stuff we got for Christmas, we’d be doing good.
This is my cat Icarus. He is the funniest cat and the biggest sissy. He likes the sit on the back of my computer chair while I am working. The only problem with that is he’s not the most graceful of cats, nor does he have the best balance, so he often falls off and slide between my back and the back of the chair. This whole event usually causes him trauma, with means I have to contort myself around to save him without getting cat claws in my flesh. Then he’ll cry for five to ten minutes with this constant pathetic meow until I’ve talked and petted him enough for him to feel better. Then he expects me to put him back on the back of my chair so in thirty minutes we can start the whole process again. So my husband had deemed him Trauma Kitty.
Well, the holidays are over, the Christmas tree is packed, and the children are starting to settle down. All signs that the winter dull-drums are coming, but I hope to have a cure for that. It’s called The Organize The House Project. It starts today in full force. Wish me luck.
Happy New Year
PostedThis is a new year with a brand new start.
There have been many changes though out the all of 2007, so it’s time to make all the good things that need to start to happen in my life, start to happen. I have a few New Year’s resolutions, and this year, I am going to stick to them.
Happy New Year!!
