151 Days...13 Hours...and 37 Minutes

last week thursday i received mum's yarn for her christmas present in a form of a nice cake...thanks to ashabee almost yummy enough to eat...i always notice her wearing very neutral colors so i figured this would be pretty...the other picture is of marks hat...yeah buddy...almost done.

frogged...

so i had almost completed mark's x.mas hat and noticed i messed up...i've pulled it apart and i'm going to start it all over again...i'm thinking that if i have enough yarn left over i'll make ben a matching one...they wore matching outfits as children why not have something that matches as adults...hehehe...

i've also sent my mum out to her local yarn shop in blairsville, ga to find some sock yarn...she would like me to knit her up a pair especially after seeing dani's...i figure she'll enjoy them more if she picks out the color...plus it'll get her out of the house...

i've been lazy in writing...i guess there just hasn't been much to write about...so...with that said...until...

someone will soon have mail...


i knitted kelly a coffee cozie for her starbucks hot coco...only it's been sitting in my kitchen for about 2 months...much use it's been receiving.
so...yesterday i decided to recycle a starbucks bag into an envelope...sometime within the next few day's she'll have mail :)

do you see what i see....


i got mark's yarn in the mail yesterday and the photo doesn't do it any justice...i think he's going to love the hat i'm going to knit him up...however i'm told that i'm not allowed to start it until i finish knitting up my mother inlaw's socks...so with that said i'll keep on knitting...

but who's counting?

so i've decided that everyone this year will be getting something handmade...so i've been on the net looking/ordering yarns so that i can get started...saving patterns...i have lots of ideas...and i'm going to try to keep on top of things...i have 162 days...but then again...who's counting?

yarrrn...


awaiting some killer yarrrrrn...for mark's christmas hat...thanks to union center knits...


awww...no hair...

so...i finally allowed ricky to give dami a haircut...it looked pretty good...then i noticed a few spots that needed a little tweeking/improvement...so i grab the clippers thinking that i'd fix it...but ended up messing/shaving it all off...end result...no hair...it'll eventually grow back...oh how i miss his locks...

back home...

well i'm back home and starting to get back into the swing of things again...or at least trying too...

sooo...i'm feeling depressed...ricky has decided that we won't be relocating back north...i noticed while i was back north that i miss home more now that i'm older...i miss seeing the seasons change...i'm concerned about mami's health and i very much want the boys to make memories with her...i'm forced to sign yet another lease here and i'm not so happy in doing so...i'm pouting like a little girl...i guess to make me feel better i'll break out some paint and hang a few new pantings...

i'm guess i'm destined to start looking for a job at night...i want to knit more...and in order to do so i'll have to find some extra cash for some yarrrrrrn...
