Calico Socks

Wow... it's been awhile. Anyways, life has been fun lately, though not as busy as I would like, just time consuming, dose that make sense? Well, above is the sock I'm making for dad. Don't worry, he's getting two! It reminds me of our cat Milly Purr that is MIA for quite some time now and presumed dead because she was very old as well. The yarn he originally sent for me to use is far to thin for socks, and since I'm still learning I've decided to go up a yarn size, or two. Still made of wool. Plus I got it from the yarn shop downtown! Support locals!!!

Ballet

Miss Lauren starts ballet class next week!

I would love to have the job of blogging... would anyone pay for a blogger? Seriously, I would perfect my writing skills and come up with as many interesting topics if I could just get a paying job. Ugh, jobs. Con is coming up and I'm hoping Trinket (hint hint) will find me more things to do since it's becoming crunch time. And since Con *IS* coming up, I've been using this opportunity to build up my stamina (with my leg/back).

How can someone learn to put their foot in their mouth more often? I just think it and before I can think about it, it escapes my lips and enters the air, forever hanging there, unable to take it back.

Also, NYRP #17 was a pair of Megan's pants that needed to be mended... I know it's splitting hairs but I've never done it on jeans AND on a seam, my first seam really, *and* I used yellow and pink, like, NEON yellow and pink. I'm counting it so there!

Droid

Not only am I in love with the new phone, but so is Neil. Yes, my Neil has a cell phone! The man who says he hates them and doesn't want anything to do with them has a high-tech state-of-the-art smart/cell phone. Yup, he's hooked like you wouldn't believe. He loves all those amazing features (unlike me that LOVES that gmail hooks up with the phone so I just have to update my calendar on the internet or cell and it replaces the GBoD!).

Here is my latest project that seems to be taking for-ev-er! Sadly I think I'll have to play major catch-up with my New Years Resolution Projects this month because everything's just been happening during February month, Hopefully this coming month will be better for crafts! NYRP #16 is taking far longer then I am hoping.

New Cell Phone

If there are any opinions on what kind of cell phone you prefer, please let me know. I'm searching for a cell phone that will replace my green book of doom. Kinda liking this Samsung Rouge, but then there are many who are complementing the Droid.

Time to give my mind a rest and just knit and watch a movie Lisa checked out from the library. Debating if I even want to go to craft night at the library. Too worn out from yesterday and today's research.

We'll see. Getting ready to get my hair cut and thinned tomorrow!

Yah! Below is a picture of the giant sushi plates we had last night with Trinket and Phil. 

Screams

AHHH!!! So much drama in our house hold! I cannot wait till we move out so we can just not deal with everything in the way we're forced to. It's part of being human I suppose, to deal with drama. Many people love it, but soap operas all the time without comercial brakes is too much. Plus I don't deal with stress well at all.

The kids and I saw "Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief" last night. The local library had an awesome thing going on where if you show your library card you get $1 off your ticket! We had soda, candy, popcorn, and fun times. The kids did meet many kids they know. Those librarians are so amazing, awesome, fantastic, and so fun! I love going there if not just to visit them!

Watching this amazing anime Vito lent me "Heroic Age" which is something I recommended for all anime lovers, or just people who love to try new things, don't be scared just because it's a "cartoon". It's animated, hence being shortened into anime. Fun facts, learn something knew everyday.

Jello

New Year Resolution Project #15. Jello molds with hearts! Only four came out half decent out of six. Also, this website is awesome: link if you love poking jello then it's the site for you, there is sound effects!

V-Day

 For Valentines Day we made sugar-free brownies and cut them into heart shaped (cookie cutters), dipped them in melted chocolate, and then covered them with sprinkles. SO GOOD! Mine is below.

  

  

Next we used foam stickers for the little paper tab thingy on teabags.  Just for fun!

  

We stuffed them in the freezer to harden up for the delivery! Covered them with seran-wrap. The envelopes have Valentines and teabags in them.

 

The girls had fun with the other project, a giant chocolate chip cookie with pink frosting!

So the sugar-free brownies are NYRP#12, the teabags #13, and the giant cookie #14! I'm working on #11, it's another bag! #15 will be giant jello molds!

NYRP#10

YES! Done with number 10!!!  It's a bag...
 

Life

What more can you say when life seems to get you down? There are NO jobs avalabile, especially to me it seems. I want to get on with life!

My honey seems to think I should start a business selling my knittings and crafts online. For one, where is the market? And two, they're not good enough to be put up there! Esty sounds like a great place, but would there be any buyers? Sure I would absolutely LOVE to work at home, knitting (watching anime and various TV shows and other movies), and other crafty things, but would that be enough to make a living?

I wish this migraine would go away, but then again, what do I have to do that's so important in order for it to leave?

Wish there was a way to get my book up and running as well. Ugh! We need to get out of here before I kill something (rather someONE).
