Horse of course

Here is that wonderful picture of a horse I was telling you about. My aunt (Bobbie) took it.

Employment!

I am now employed!!! It feels really good to say that. It feels really good to know that I be having some money coming to help offset the bills.

I am knitting and crocheting. Not much spinning though. No pictures lately. Two of my classmates are pregnant, so I am busy making baby blankets for that. I am also working on a quilt for R's mom. It is a pinwheel alternated with solid squares. All the different fabrics are cats or dogs. It is really cute. It is to the point now in the piecing of the top that it is getting very large! Some of the points are not coming out right, so that is frustrating. It is in the corner while I decide what to do with it.

My aunt just sent me some very cool pictures. One of them is a horse dusted with snow. I will have to ask her if I can put that one up here.

Talk to you later, and happy knitting (and quilting!)

I have NEWS!!!

I have wonderful news, I have a JOB!!! Well, I am just waiting on the urine test and the background test to come back ok, but other than that, I have employment!

I have been knitting. Most of the projects are on my Ravelry page. I have also been spinning, both on my wheel and I tried spindling again, and I love it. I currently have a subcription to tisjewelart fiber club. She has sent me the most wonderful batches of fiber! I have been spinning those on my wheel. I koolaid dyed some fiber and silk and have been having fun spinning those up. The "light fire" on my Raverly stash page is my dye job.


Since I have a job in the medical field, I needed some scrubs. I don't know where all my other scrubs are that I packed about a year ago are, so I made some scrub tops today.

I have been working on some lace from "A Gathering of Lace" It is called "A beginner's triangle". I am using Bernat's Soy Natural Blends. It is so soft! I had to go back and three more because I only got three, and they were on clearance at Michael's. The whole shawl is only going to cost me $12. SWEET! I love it when I can make something that large for that cheap.

Hello!

I am still here! Not doing much, don't feel like doing much. Some knitting, some quilting, some homework, etc. I guess that you could call it the blahs. I get them everyonce in awhile. I hope that everyone out there is doing ok. Until next time, happy knitting!

A new baby!!!

I got my Christmas present early! His name is Toby. The vet says that he is a Doxie and Corgi mix. The pound said Doxie and Beagal mix. I believe the vet, as I have a Beagal mix and they don't look anything alike! Ditto (Blue collar) is being the "mom" with him also. Katie (black coat with green collar) is so big now. She is 40-45lbs now! So, much for my lapdog. Well, Toby is only 10lbs now and he is 6months already, so hopefully he will only get to maybe 20lbs. Still lap size then.
























Here is just a cute pic of all the girls trying to sleep on the same cushion that I put on the floor for them to use as a bed.






Still knitting. And crocheting. R's Christmas present is almost done. Uncle C's isn't started yet, but I am thinking a beanine hat. Easy but warm! Started crocheting Toby a coat to wear. Will post pics of everything after Christmas with who got what.

Happy Knitting and Merry Christmas!

p.s. Have a safe and happy trip Anne!

Hello

Well, I have most of my Christmas knitting done, just R's left to do. I know, the man that I love and adore is left to last. But really it is because I can't decide what to make him. I decided to make a scarf and he picked out the yarn. I think that I have started that project so many time that I will have to cut off the first few yards because it is unraveling. I still have to think of something for one of my uncles as he lives in the desert like me and really doesn't need any handknits but it supposed to be low 50's to high 40's tonight. I know, I know, it is snowing in other parts of the country right now, but when the rest of the year is 90 - 120 degrees here, 50 is cold!

Final is tomorrow so I am supposedly studying! I feel confident in myself though.

A lady that I met on Ravelry and I met for our first knitting group. It was so cool! Apparently, there is another lady in town that would like to knit with us. This is way cool! I haven't ever gone to a knit group before.

Oh! I may have an interview for a job that I really, really want!!!! Please keep your fingers crossed for me. Thank you, but I don't want to say anything more until after the interview!

Have a Question for you

Good Morning!

I have a question for you that read this. I have been haunting Etsy lately and have seen some wonderful things! I started thinking, I am crafty and such, so why not start an Etsy store? Ok, this is where I would like your input, what are you looking for when you go to Etsy? Now, I am talking knitting and spinnning things. Here are some of the things that I know how to do:

Spinning
Dying fiber
Knitting
Beading (Jewelry)
Sewing
Quilting
Wire wrapping
Crochet

So, what do you think? I would really appricate any comments.

Happy Knitting!
