Hello all, just wanted to say hey, and that I am still here. we have been very busy here, been upnorth, working. just busy, busy, busy. tomorrow we are going to great america theme park. our son is going to love it. I hope we have nice weather. my new job is busy been doing alot of overtime. I would be at work right now but my husband had to be at his work today. He rather have me go and do overtime because I get paid hourly he doesn't. I am grabbing any overtime that I can, need it for our 2nd mortgage upnorth. We got another dog, that is right, another dog!!!!
this one is much calmer then Bud was, I will be starting training with him next sat morning. We got this one from a breeder that my husband's co-worker got hers from. I had to tell my crafty yahoogroups that I will not be doing much crafting because of work. But when I get a chance, I will be doing something with one of my unfinished projects. I have not been working on the log cabin square because I went back to work. I got some of that RedHeart Strata yarn, I DON'T LIKE IT AT ALL!!!! I have started the scarf on the wrapper in crocheting and then started one in knitting, I DON'T LIKE IT AT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!! Yep, they self stripe alright, that is the only one good thing about it. I don't like the roughness it has. I have taken them both apart and just did one skein granny squares with them. I have 4 skeins of this stuff. The squares come out about 14"-15" or so. I am using a size I crochet hook. I will just put them in my granny square box(granny squares of all different sizes).
Well, time to get going here, need to get the dry clothes out of the dryer and the wet ones into the dryer and then start a new load.
until next time.
oh by the way, our new dog's name is Moose, and it is a yellow lab.

Hello all,
just wanted to let you know that I have been busy working lately that is why I have not been blogging.
A few things I need to get off my chest, I WOULD PREFER that if you are going to leave a note, please leave your name. I don't like people just leaving replies and not signing their name to it.
My family and I are doing great. We have been up north at our summer home alot this summer. Our son will be starting PreK-4 in a few weeks. I am going to be starting a 2nd shift job here soon. I am in training right now.
In my earlier post, I told you about our dog Bud, well we have made a decision and we are going to put him in a shelter. WE ARE NOT JUST THROWING HIM AWAY OR ASIDE!!!!!!!!!!!! We feel that he is going to be kept in a cage all day long and that is not fair to him. With our son in school full time and my husband and I working from sun-up to sun-down, the dog would be locked up. I don't mind people giving me their opinions but hey this is our choice not yours. We feel bad the way it is. Besides, someone else can have him and train him or maybe have him as a hunting dog, who knows.
He is a pure breed lab so someone will take him.
I just wanted to get that off my chest.
We all live different lives, and our lives don't always go as we picture it. times change and so do we. Unfortunately we can't all have it. If you know what I mean. If not, oh well.
Well, that is all for now, oh by the way, I am half way done with my girlfriend's scarf, need to order 2 more skeins of yarn for it. I am going to get 4 sets of size 10 circular knitting needles and redo the log cabin square that I have started. I found out that I don't need to bind off the edges, I can leave them alive just have to instead of binding off, put the live stitches on the circular needles. I will show a picture of it when I get back to it.
Right now, need to get a full time job here.
Thanks

Hello all,
just wanted to let you know that the log cabin afghan is coming along. My batteries in my camera are being charged. So I can't take a picture of the afghan.
I am on the 5th stripe.
My son's afghan is coming along too. I am not doing what I said in my other post on May 18th, I am just knitting and when I feel like a change, then I purl some rows.
We are going out of town for the week of the 4th of July. Just up north by our summer home.
The weather that I say was for rain, rain, rain, that sucks because then we can't get out and fish. I don't know if my in laws are coming or not.
I am going to be taking my girlfriend's scarf, my son's afghan, and my log cabin afghan up with us so that I can get some done.
By the way, the dog Bud, is doing great. His ear infection is gone.
I have a job interview this Thursday morning. I also have a job starting on July 9th. If I get the job from Thursday's interview, then I will cancel the other job that starts on July 9th.
well, time to get knitting here.
Trying to figure out what color I want next on my son's afghan.
take care and hope all have a happy 4th of July.

Hello there, just wanted to let you know that I have attempted to do the Log Cabin Afghan. I love it. I have met someone online which is in a town near my house. She teaches at a LYS. I went into this shop and just fell in love with it. I met some very nice ladies. I am still working on my girlfriend's scarf and my son's afghan. I am really enjoying doing this Log Cabin Afghan. I am going to take allllll of my yarn and put it in color piles. I am going to have my son help me out. Since I have to take it from the basement to the 2nd floor bedroom.
When I get it all done, then I can see what colors I have.
Well, time to get off the computer and get knitting.

thursday morning
Went to the vet's yesterday and Bud, the dog has a yeast infection in his ear.
Got the meds and started to give them to him. He is just laying around now.
Went to Kro-Sha's last night and Beth showed me how to pick up stitches on a bind-off row. tricky
I need to know how to do this on the log cabin afghan that I am doing. I am on the second ball of yarn for my girlfriend's scarf. I think I will need another 2 balls. I got the yarn from Kro-sha's but she don't have anymore. I found the exact yarn at Herrschners for $2.97 a ball. I am going to get them. I might just drive up there and get it. I don't know.
I worked alittle on my son's afghan.
I am looking through all of my yarn and start thinking about the colors for the log cabin afghan.
I saw a feather and fan afghan in a book that I have. I want to do everything but don't have the time.
oh well, time to get to the laundry.

Tuesday Morning
Ok, I have not posted anything lately because I have been busy. Last weekend well, really Wednesday night we went up north to our cabin. We stayed until Sunday. Lovely 4 days. Well, I took my knitting alone, and my girlfriend's scarf. Well I only did 4 rows on my son's afghan and 1 row on my girlfriend's scarf.
I just went downstairs in the basement and looked at allllll of my yarn, this stuff is not moving anywhere. So, as of now, I am going to start making granny squares with size h hook. I don't know what size of the square right now but hey, I just make them.
I have to take our dog Bud in to the vet this morning. I don't want to but my hubby tried to clean his one ear and didn't get much out. My hubby says that bud's ear is really red. We have a yellow Lab male. Lately he has become somewhat aggressive toward other dogs and people. My hubby wants me to put bud in the human society place for animals. I told him if we do this WE WILL NOT GET ANOTHER DOG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We put down his other dog and that was soooo said. I have buried my mother and father and a dog and I just can't do it again.
I called the trainer whom we had for when bud was a puppy and she kind of told me that we just need to work with the dog.
I told my hubby and he just looked at me.

Hello all,
just wanted to let you know that I am getting bored with my son's afghan. I have decided to take on another UFO project. Well, I just started it. I bought the book "Mason-Dixon Knitting" book. I love the book. It has the pattern Log Cabin Afghan. I highly recommended this book to any knitter.
As you look at my blog, you will see the first attempt to knitting this afghan. I will take pictures every 20 stripes or so. Please let me know what you think.
We will be on our way upnorth tomorrow night, again, driving at night time. Up for 24 hours or so. I hate it some times but hey, we have a place on the lake and I love it. I just hope that we can keep it.
I am looking for a job right now, and it is so darn hard because there just aren't any jobs for a stay at home mom.
oh well, until next time.

Hello all, just wanted to say hi and I hope all are having fun crafting.
Just wanted to let you know that this past weekend, I bought a fishing boat for my hubby. Well, I was saving up for my new kitchen but the $ was right for this boat. Now, I can get what ever I want. Because I made him happy. As well as our son and the dog. Got to love them all. I sure do.
I have been working on my friend's scarf and she keeps asking me about it, she also reminds me that her birthday is coming up here, like in January. But don't worry, I will have 2 scarves for her. Then I would like to make her a afghan of her colors.
Since the lady whom I go to on Wed nights is closing her yarn shop, I am in need of finding a another place to hang out at and with other knitters/crocheters/crafters.
Oh well, time to get off the computer because it is like raining really hard here and lighting. I don't like lighting.
until next time.

Hello all, just wanted to say that purling is going faster or should I say purl one row, knit one row.
I am feeling alittle better with my allegyies. I have taken my medicine for it. The cooler weather helps alittle too.
Back to my son's afghan. I feel like I am making progress with it now that I am purl one, knit one row.
I went to the library the other day and picked out two books. One is The Knitting Circle, and the other is The Friday Night Knitting Club. I started reading the The Knitting Circle and I like it. But the problem is that I have to return the books in 2 weeks. I can't read that fast. I am still at home with our son. Trying to find a full time job. When I get a job, I am going on Amazon.com and getting The Knitting Circle.
Went to McD's on Sunday night with my son and the other ladies were not there. But we stayed until about 8:00pm. I worked on my girlfriends scarf.
Well, time to get knitting, trying to get our son's afghan done.
Well, until next time I check in.

Hello all, just wanted to say that I feel yucky!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Allergies are killing me. I have a runny nose, watery eyes, itching eyes, sneezing, stuffy nose at times. I hate this time of year.
Just wanted to add that on my son's knitted afghan, I have decided to start purling as well as knit. Just doing the garter stitch(all knitted rows) is getting boring so I change the pattern somewhat. This is my own pattern.
The afghan is 200 stitches. I have knitted up to 172 rows. I then started to purl one, knit one row.
I have done that for 8 rows. Now I will be back to knitting. I am trying to decide what I want to do next.
172 one section (all knit rows)
8 of Knit 1 row, Purl 1 row
86 one section (all knit rows)
8 of Knit 1 row, Purl 1 row
43 one section (all knit rows)
8 of Knit 1 row, Purl 1 row
the total here is 325 rows total
Then I would start from bottom working up to the top
8 of Knit 1 row, Purl 1 row
43 one section (all knit rows)
8 of Knit 1 row, Purl 1 row
86 one section (all knit rows)
8 of Knit 1 row, Purl 1 row
172 one section (all knit rows)
This should be enough for a twin size bed for a toddler/growing child.
Well, time to get in the shower and go to bed since I took some medicine for my allergies.

Hello, all, just wanted to say I feel blah, I have a running nose, watery eyes, sore eyes, bleedshot eyes, I do believe that my allegies have kicked in for the summer. yuck.
so anyhow, besides that, I have started a new afghan for our son. It is the red heart ripple romance patter. This pattern is just like the normal ripple but much easier and instead of the points, it is rounded. I love this.
I am still working on his knitting afghan. that is getting heavier, and heavier. I can't take it anywhere now because it is getting bigger.
I have been still looking and only looking at all of my stash and stuff. I really need to get my butt in gear and get organized.
I had a great mother's day. I spent the weekend with my in-laws. Boy how much fun is that???? just kidding. My hubby put almost all of the new swingset together by her house. The weather was very nice alittle chilly in the morning but when you start working outside doing stuff, it was getting warmer.
Well, time to get either knitting or crocheting here.
but first, another cup of tea.

Hello again,
Just wanted to get typing here, yesterday, our neighbor had her grass cut by pros. Well, I started sneezing like crazy, my hubby started cutting our grass and then our 2 neighbors did, boy I did nothing but sneeze for like 2 hrs, I can't breath now, nose is stuffy.
I had a scare yesterday. I started working on my son's knitted afghan, well I am using my Denise Interchangeable knitting needles, well one came unscrewed I was able to pick up the few stitches that I dropped. Well, I picked up one from the row below. I had plans going to the lys where I hang out at, the lady there was sooooo helpful.
I am working on two kinds of afghans for my son. One is crocheted, it is from Red Heart called the Ripple Romance afghan it is like the ripple pointed but instead of the points you have curves. When I get done, I will post a picture of it. The other one like I said is knitted, just doing the garter stitch.
I found out that doing the ripple romance pattern, that I would make one for my girlfriend. I already have the colors picked out for her. I need to finish her 2 scarves. One is getting there.
I am going to make sure that I have her stuff done by her birthday. Which is in January.
Well, time to get doing my crafts. Since I don't feel the greatest today, I am going to just do my crocheting and knitting. Well, I am going to look for a job online first, then do my other stuff.
Until next time, which will be Monday.

Thursday Morning
Ok, I checked the car, nothing wrong with it. It was just sitting in the driveway with the nose of the car facing the garage door. which this part of the driveway is alittle bit of a hill, downward. So, I saved alot of money for hubby.
Still looking for a job. this is not fun. Called a temp agency that I had an assignment with and nobody called me back.
Was looking through my stash and was working on my son's afghan the crochet one, I have two of then started, one is crochet, and the other is knitted. the knitted one is getting big.
Last night went to Kro-sha (lys) and hung out with the ladies. Sure do have alot of fun with them. Just love to see what everyone is making. I saw a lady making a item with Caron Shadow yarn, just fell in love with this yarn. I JUST HAVE TO GET RID OF MY YARN STASH. I want new yarn. Another lady bought the "Mason*Dixon Knitting" book. I told her that I would love to do the log cabin pattern in the book. She told me she would too.
Sometime next week at night time, I am going to add in my favorite links to the site.
Found a pattern in the Red Heart archives and I think there is a mistake with the pattern. I am going to have a friend look at it today. I have to go back to the LYS for her to see it.
Well, time to give the little one a bath and get my butt in gear, ok, maybe just another cup of tea(2nd one) and start working on my friend's scarf. I would like to get it done before the summer starts, ok maybe not. I have another one I would like to start for her too but I can't because the needles that I am now using are the ones I need.
Ok, time to get off the computer.

Wednesday Morning
Hello there,
Being off from work is driving me nuts. Not use to being home with our son.(lately)
I do have to say that the start of this week is not been good. On Tuesday morning, my hubby had to come back inside and change his shirt. When he went into the garage, he was getting ready to leave for work when he pushed the button to open the garage door, well the rubber thingy broke. So our garage door is broke. When he tried to get around it, he bumped it with his shirt so that is why he had to change his shirt.
So, it is Wednesday morning and it is not good. My hubby came upstairs again, to give me the cell phone???? and to say that the car is not sounding good, it sounds like it wants to die. I don't need this!!!!!
So, I told him to just take the truck. I will call the auto shop and see if I can get it in this morning. So when I got up, I went to start it up and to see if I can move it to the other side of the driveway because if I need to have it towed, I need the nose out by the road. Well, I did that and it sounds like it didn't want to start. It could be the starter???? I am wondering if I should try and drive it over to the auto body shop???? With our 4 yr old son in the car????
Well, time to call the auto body shop and see what they say.
So until I write again.

When he went into the garage, he was getting ready to leave for work when he pushed the button to open the garage door, well the rubber thingy broke. So our garage door is broke. When he tried to get around it, he bumped it with his shirt so that is why he had to change his shirt.
So, it is Wednesday morning and it is not good. My hubby came upstairs again, to give me the cell phone???? and to say that the car is not sounding good, it sounds like it wants to die. I don't need this!!!!!
So, I told him to just take the truck. I will call the auto shop and see if I can get it in this morning. So when I got up, I went to start it up and to see if I can move it to the other side of the driveway because if I need to have it towed, I need the nose out by the road. Well, I did that and it sounds like it didn't want to start. It could be the starter???? I am wondering if I should try and drive it over to the auto body shop???? With our 4 yr old son in the car????
Well, time to call the auto body shop and see what they say.
So until I write again.

Monday Morning
Hello all, just wanted to say, I forgot what it was like not working during the day. I am thinking, yes, I am thinking here, what should I do first??????.
I think I am going through all of my books, papers, and notebooks and getting all of my knitting notes together.
Then I am going to start working on my yarn stash.
Last night, before bed, I found the pattern that I wrote for a baby blanket for my girlfriend. I am going to rewrite it and start working on it.
Later today or should I say this evening, I am going upstairs and start putting links on my blog. I would have to go to the slooooooow computer. Windows 98. We have a laptop now and it has windows media xp on it. I love this laptop.
Oh well, time to get a moving here.
yep, right after I get another(3rd) cup of tea.
talk to you later,

Sunday Night
hello to all again,
Just wanted to say hi and glad people are reading my blog.
Today we have made success!!! That is my hubby made the success. He got ALL of the post in for the new deck. All 14 of them in two days. Thanks for in-laws at time. This is one of those times. I got all 14 post in, plus I got my living room carpet shampooed.(free) I also got my mother-in-law to watch our son so that I can get most of the laundry done over the weekend.
My son and I went to McD's tonight to give hubby a little break from our son peace and quite for at least 2 hrs. My hubby loved that.
I got about 4 more rows done on my girlfriend's scarf.
I will be out of work for like acouple of weeks hopefully not too long but since I have this time, I am going to organize my yarn stash.
Well, time to get the little one to bed. Maybe I can or should I say we can sleep in tomorrow. Boy, until what 8:00am??? that would be so nice.
Again, until the next time I type away here.
Hope all a very nice, crafty week ahead.

My first blog May 5, 2007
Ok, my hubby is sleeping, my son is sleeping, my in-laws are sleeping, that is right, this weekend I have my in-laws here from Illionis. So since I am still up I am going to chat alittle here on my blog. The day went slow. This is the slowest Friday in a long time. The week sure did go by fast though.
I have been looking around the house here and wondering what I should really get done. NOTHING!!!! I don't feel like doing anything.
Then there I was, just staring out in the open air outside. I am going to start with my yarn stash. I am going to get that finally straighted up.
My in-laws are up here to help my hubby get the back deck done. I would like to be able to sit outside at night and knit/crochet. Watch the birds on the feeder. The dog chasing the birds. Our son rolling down the hill. Yep, it is summer time.
I was working for a temp service and today on the way home, they called me up and told me that the customer would like today to be my last day with them. Boy, what a way to start off your weekend. But I will be working soon again, since I do have to time off, I am going to get my yarn stash in order.
Sometimes I hate working for the temp services but when I do, I go to alot of different companies and I learn alot of stuff.
Well, I should be getting to bed now.
until the next time I write.
By the way, my blog will not be everyday but I will try. I am going to work on it from my upstairs computer because that one has all of my favorite links. I am using my husbands laptop.
So on that note, good night all of you crafters.
