It's done!!!

Woohoo, the pineapple shawl is done. It's not as big as some shawls, it's just a little shoulder shawl. J is trying to convince me to put fringe on it, but no thanks. It's cotton so I think that the fringe would constantly stick to itself and tangle and who the heck wants that?? I hope she likes it. Still haven't heard anything from her for a while.

J and I have a friend moving up to live with us, and he should be here by Friday. He's Scott's godfather (ok, one of them) and a really good friend. We'll be happy to have him here.

Lifestyle changes

I know I haven't blogged lately, and I'm sorry. J and I have been making some changes in our lifestyle and it's been playing havoc with my free time. Not to mention that I've started
a second job, where I actually get to take Scott with me. So between work, more work, and taking care of the family I have little time to do other things.I have been working like mad on a custom design for something. I have to keep it hush hush for now, because it's for my secret pal. I doubt she's going through all the blogs and looking for hints, but you never know. All I can say is it's an amazing pattern, custom made by me, and of course she's going to be getting the finished item too. I am making it from hand-spun cotton yarn of a fingering weight, and once it's done I'll be dying it. I decided not to dye it before it was made, because with having to spin up more yarn as I need it, I could never be sure of the yardage. Plus, it's lace and I don't want to have pooling in the pattern. I'll post pictures once it's done. I just hope she likes it. Haven't received any answers from her lately, and hope that everything is going ok over there. I know that she has a little baby girl, so I can understand lack of time.

Off to make teriyaki chicken sandwiches for dinner. Toasted with mozzarella cheese and than topped with pineapple and lettuces and tomato. How yummy does that sound?

Sorry

Sorry about the lack of posting lately. I've been working on something for my SP partner and also trying to get my company up and running, which involves working my rear end off on a website and also making product to post in it.

Hi SP swap partner, sorry I haven't done this lately. How's the baby?

I'm back

Yeah, so that was a waste of time there at the hospital. They told me exactly nothing, except what I already knew. Apparently I suffer from non-epileptic events. Well, DUH, I could have saved a week and not had to be there with things stuck to my head. Been having these things all my life, I think I know what they are by now.

On a fiber note, I have knit 2 mobuis scarfs (using the method where they are knit from the center line out, not knit the scarf and do the half twist) while I was in there. Planing on making more, but I need to get some REALLY long circs, because a 29 inch isn't cutting it. Maybe go buy some Options with a 60" cord.

Sending swap stuff out soon, so that'll be fun. Hoping that she'll like what I send, but that shouldn't be hard. Who doesn't love yarn and other stuff. :)

Scott's 10 months now, and he's so cute. Just learning how to walk while holding onto my fingers, so we spend half the day doing that while daddy's at work. Little brat still won't say mama much, once a week is the norm. And he's taken to screeching when he doesn't get his way, or is bored, or because he want's something, or because the sun is shining, or because he's breathing. Yeah, it's annoying, and wishing I had some hefty earplugs doesn't help much.

Off to eat the head of a chocolate rabbit now. *evil laugh*

Offline for a while

I'll be offline for a while starting next week. I'll be in the hospital having an extended Video EEG done for my seizures. I think of it as a vacation from the kid :)

So I have no idea if I'll have internet access but I promise to pop back on when I do.

Moving and other info

Hi everyone,

The move is going pretty well, almost all settled in now. Scott's loving the new place, so I am happy with that. On another note, I'll be vanishing off the face of the planet for a week or so starting on the 2nd of April. The doctors want to run some extended video EEG's to see if they can record a seizure, so I"ll be in the hospital for that. My sister and niece are coming out to watch Scott while I'm in there and J is at work, so I get to see my baby girl too, and they get a break from the mum and step-dad.

Best wishes to all, and if you're someplace warm think of me, cause it's still only about 35 here. :(
