Hey y'all..

Not much to say today. Cleaning up this and that in the house and a few small draws and cupboards so that the house looks great when my sweetie man gets home next week. Plus the more I get done...the more I can just relax with him. Tho he keeps telling me I'm going too far...I need to rest. But I do...not to worry.
But I do have one question for everyone. How do you all get so many projects done so fast? I feel like I take forever to finish something. I wondered that about reading books also. I love to read, but it seems like it takes me forever to read a book. The book listed on my blog, I am still reading. So, what I want to know is whether you only crochet/knit at home...(or read if you do)...or if you do it whenever....like do you take it with you everywhere in a separate bag and carry it with you so you can crochet or knit while waiting for someone or the kids or waiting at the mall? How do you guys/gals get your projects done so fast. I really envy you. I would love some hints and tips. It seems, for example, one day someone shows a project started on their blog...next day it's done! How do you do it? I have so many projects I want to do but it seems like I'm just slow...or am I not taking good opportunities to work on my project. I'd love to hear from you all. Being as I'm getting close to or just about done with my kitchen and cleaning up things...I really want to invest my spare time in my yarn projects.
So, with that...I'm going to head to bed....looking forward to your answers...till tomorrow!

The return of Goose and Duck...

Goose and Duck were actually meant to appear as a Mother's Day picture on Sunday. But seeing as my lovely lap top computer was not functioning up to snuff....they are appearing for your enjoyment a few days late.

The picture isn't all that great as the weather has been rainy...rainy...did I say, rainy!!!! We actually did see a bright light in the sky today in the afternoon.....someone said that it is called...the SUN? mmmm...interesting! Hope we get to see it again....it was nice!Anyway, as before, Goose's attire is from the Month of May section of Annie's Attic Goose and Gander Parade Crochet. Duck on the other hand is a creation of my own. Yeah...really...I did that one all by myself. That's really not like me as I'm a die-hard pattern person...gotta have the pattern in front of me. But I created the bee outfit. I put Duck in front of me and just kept measuring the outfit as I was crocheting. Cool eh?
Okay...that's it for now.....let's hope we see that bright light in the sky soon....I miss my porch swing (I've actually had the furnace on today...brrrrr) Till tomorrow.....stay warm (if you live in PA anyway!)

It's prom time!

Well, my computer connection to the internet is getting better. Unfortunately the weather is not. It's cold, it's damp.....and it's MAY??? Oh, well, leaves me more time to sit inside and post a couple of prom pictures that I promised you last week.
This is my son and his lovely lovely date (not to be confused with the gal pal.....which is literally what the name inplies....Pal who happens to be a Gal) So I guess you can say that his date for the prom is also his "gal pal" but not the "gal pal" I usually speak of. Anyway this is them before the prom...
Aren't they just the cutest? But what prom couple isn't? They are all so darn cute!!!!
Okay...next pic is Mom (me) and the Aunt (my sister) posing with "the man" (my son). Not as cute as the first pic...but I thought I would throw it in as a bonus! (it's not one of my better pics as I was unprepared and had just come from cutting the grass).....
Now my son's date is a senior in high school and as you know my son just finished his first year in college. So that was sorta cool that he got to go and visit with some of the kids he knew when he was a senior. They did it a little different. Used to be the prom was an all nighter but this time the kids were bussed to Pittsburgh's Hard Rock Cafe till midnight. They were bussed back and most just went out to breakfast and headed home. Seems like everyone had a safe and fun night!
Well, that's it for tonight. I'm off work tomorrow for election day, so after I vote, I think I'll just chill, crochet, knit, and rearrange some stuff in the Kitchen which is coming along really really nice. Can't show you any pics though until sweetie man sees it in a little less than two weeks...cause he reads my blog and I told him it was a BIG surprise.
So, till tomorrow...tootles!

Happy Mom's Day....

HAPPY HAPPY MOM'S DAY
TO EVERYONE!!

I'm just wanted to be sure I told you all that. My computer is not being nice and I'm being very cautious with it right now. For the last couple of days it was on and off with it. I wanted to download some pics of the prom and a special Mom's Day picture but I can't take the chance right yet till I know this is working back to normal. Especially since my main computer is on the blink and I'm on the laptop.
So, please understand...hopefully all will be back to normal tomorrow and this snafu is caused by all the Mom's who are getting wonderful messages online from their children.....commonly referred to as "online overload"!
Keep your fingers crossed and hope you had a Mom's Day as great as I did!!!! Till tomorrow....

I'm a pepper, you're a pepper...

....wouldn't you like to be a pepper too!! Okay, please tell me someone out there remembers that song??????? Oh, well, even if you don't, you will certainly like the little gems I received in the mail today from two of my favorite people. Actually they are for my sweetie man and me and our newly painted kitchen.
First, a surprise I received in the mail today was an awesome pepper potholder crocheted by my online little sis, Courtney from Candel in the Wind. Thank you soooooo much LG!
Now I have to say I had made a similar one but wanted another (or more) cause I really liked this potholder as did my sweetie man. So without lifting a finger, I got one. Her's is much brighter than mine which I really like and actually crocheted much neater than mine. But she's got them thar youngin fingers so that's probably the reason!!! Love ya , Court....thank you again! You are the best ever!!! And sooooooooo Sweet!
Next....another one of my favorite people is my darling niece who, on the same day I received my pepper potholder, sent me and my sweetie man, a great array of pepper this and that's for our kitchen. I love them ALL!
Everything was so cute from the pepper chinese lantern to the little salt dishes for margaritas....mmmmm.....as well as a pepper tray and some little dishes and a trivet. We will use all of this I can tell you that for sure! She also send a few little gardening do-dads for ME..ME...ME! I plan on using them on the front porch as that is sorta my space with regards to gardening....sweetie man got the back yard. The tins off to the side, she sent for me as well and I will use them in some other crafts (which you may be seeing on our upcoming website in which we will sell some stuff!) So, thank you Alexis.....I love ya bunches....you are the best niece ever.....and Happy Birthday on Monday!!!! (thought I didn't know that...didn't ya!!)
Okay....off I go to do whatever.....it's the weekend and I'm hoping to catch up on all my emails and blogs I've neglected for awhile. Things are getting back to normal and I'm starting to get organized again....so I'm glad about that one! Okay...till tomorrow....and hopefully some prom pics of my son!!!! Tootles!

The sock...almost!

I think this is one of the first days that I haven't picked up a paintbrush. I do have a little bit more to paint and I may have my sweetie man do a couple of areas when he comes home since he'll have a little vacation......like behind the fridge and stove.....let me tell you though...my house does not have normal straight walls like the more modern houses. Any of you that have a house that is very old....we're thinking mine is over 80 years old....you will know what I'm talking about. So if you are thinking...heck, if I were painting that kitchen, it would have been done in one day....I'd like to know your trick!

Anyway, I did manage to work on my sock a bit on my front porch cause the evening was so warm and beautiful. I'm working on the instep now. Here's what it looks like at this point. (check out that beautiful heel!)




I think my sock swap partner will get something else since this color isn't too exciting. But now that I know how basic sock knitting works...I think the next one will go alot quicker. I'll probably finish off this one sock and start her pair then finish the match to this one after that. I learned alot with this sock. So it's not perfect but I did learn out to fix things like dropped stitches and why I somehow picked up another stitch from somewhere. I also learned new stitches where when I started I knew only knit and purl and couldn't do them in the same row. But I gotta tell ya....I'm really hooked on this....it's fun! If you are patient and can pace yourself and teach yourself things (which I've done with most crafts if not all that I know) then definately go slow and try sock knitting! It's awesome! I don't know why...maybe it releases some special happy brain cells....but it is addicting!

Okay...off to bed and maybe ......shhhhh....a couple more rows of the sock before I turn in!

Till tomorrow!

even shorter post...

hey...didn't forget yunz guys!!! Just got busy last night and was too pooped to post!!! Catch me later for a pic of my sock...HONEST!!!

I'm here...

Short post...I'm here...I'm tired...I'm going to bed. Worked really hard on my Kitchen today cause I was a bit frustrated over some parent/son situation. Don't worry, my son and I made up and myKitchen is just about done aside from the decorating I plan on doing. It's good sometimes when I get mad about something....cause I get a ton done! When I'm happy I'm lazier. Anyway, the only othere thing is that my main computer is unconsious right now...we think the fan died causing the mother board to burn out. Meanwhile I'm on an old laptop luckily. Hopefully I won't lose all my stuff in there cause I put the pictures of the BEFORE kitchen......I really wanted to show you all the difference in it. Sorry about all the Kitchen talk...but I'm just so excited that it's finally getting done. I love it!!! Okay...I'm falling asleep here...so till tomorrow and I promise I'll show you my sock...hey, I got past the heel and survived....couple of little boo-boos but I think I may have fixed them. It's really starting to look like a sock! Okay.....check ya all out tomorrow.

Nothing new to me...

Yep...I figured I wasn't Type A. I'm far from Type A. Found this quiz at Debs Down Time. So I have to say, if you want to know me...read the Type B personality. I don't know about the guru part though! (okay, maybe not always calm and level headed either...is there a Type C????)

You Have A Type B Personality

You're as laid back as they come...
Your baseline mood is calm and level headed
Creativity and philosophy tend to be your forte

Like a natural sedative, you have a soothing effect on people
Friends and family often turn to you first with their problems
You have the personality to be a spiritual or psychological guru

I was going to show you a pic of my sock but I think I'm going get past the heel first and see how that goes...I'm not going to jinx this one! So stay chilled cause tomorrow is Monday and the start of another exciting week of work and playing with yarn! Till tomorrow...

I JUST WANNA "DYE"!

....Yarn, that is!!! And I did and had a alot of fun doing it cause it really was easy and quick. This is the first time I've done this but I think my little tutorial may entice you to try your hand at it.
First, this is a pic of newly untangled Knit Pick yarn...you know, the one that took me two hours to untangle?
I tied off sections with some cotton yarn to be sure I didn't have another mess.
Then I soaked the yarn in a bowl of warm water and a glug of vinegar...and that' exactly how the instructions said to do it...."Glug"! (mmm....for some reason I feel like spaghettti for dinner)
Next I got my kool aid ready using lemonade, orange, and cherry watermelon. Next time I think I'll go for a little more difference in colors....they did tend to run into each other more than I thought.
The amount is one package to 1/4 cup of warm water...I ended up using 5 packages of each. Then I donned my handy-dandy plastic glove so I wouldn't have kool aid colored hands.
Sorta stupid for a person who is pretty much letting herself be covered in paint from painting the Kitchen.
Then the fun began. I used a baster for the application of kool aid but the instructions said you can use anything from a sponge brush to whatever!
Then it was ready for 2 minutes on high in the microwave...rest 2 minutes...then 2 more minutes.
It was pretty warm when it came out so I let it cool a bit on my porch outside.
I rinsed it in the temperature of water that it was at the time after being cooled till the water ran clear then hung it outside to dry for the afternoon.
Here is a closeup of the yarn hanging. I sorta moved it every so often as it was hanging thinking it may dry faster and it did.
So that's it. Not too bad for a first try. Now I think I'm gonna make me some socks with it. The more I do sock knitting the easier it's becoming....I really like it. And making a sock with yarn I dyed myself will be really cool. Let's see....maybe I could get me some sheep in my back yard.....spin my own wool.....mmmmm! Okay, okay....till tomorrow....and a sneak peek at my next attempt at sock knitting....take care ya'll!

Friday, May 05, 2006

Well, I don't know how many hits I'll get on my blog today or this weekend cause it seems like alot of the blogs I read, everyone and their brother are going to the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival (or is that Wool and Sheep). This is the first time I've ever heard of it but it seems pretty cool by the website. I'm actually only 4 hours away from that....but I'm not much of a distance driver....I'm a distance passenger....or as my sweetie man calls it, his "nag-avator"! Hey, I'm first to admit I'm a bit of a back seat driver...just a bit.
Anyway, been working on the kitchen still. You probably won't see pics of the finished product for at least a week or two. The weather in PA is perfect for painting. 60-70 degrees during the day and 40-50 at night. With the windows open those nasty fumes go right outside.
I did spent a good two hours tho untangling dye your own yarn from Knit Picks. I don't know what the heck I did...but I did it Good! It was so tangled! I thought I would open the package and it would unfold into this perfect hank that I would just straighten out a bit....but it didn't...or I didn't do it right. Anyway....after I untangled it and rolled it into a ball...I wrapped it around a chair top for a perfectly formed hank ready for dying in the kool aid tomorrow! (in between starting the other half of my Kitchen painting) So I'll take pics of that project and you can see the results. Hey, maybe it's not as exciting as the Maryland Festival....but what do ya want for a small town blogger in PA! Okay...I'm heading off to dreamland....catch ya on the flip-flop!

Get this!!!

Okay, remember that cute little sock that I showed you a picture of yesterday....the one that I spent 3 days doing 8 rows, or whatever,....that sock I was going to use for a swap....the sock that I was so proud of cause I got so far???? IT'S GONE!!!!! ZIP!!! ZILCH.....GONE!!!! And you know why it is gone? Because I thought I didn't have to give 100% to paying attention to every stitch I was doing....I said to myself, "gosh, I'm getting the hang of this...I can let my mind wonder a bit!" WRONG!!!! Next thing I knew I had TWO EMPTY NEEDLES IN MY HAND...NOT ONE...TWO!!! I can't tell you what came out of my mouth...okay....I said, "OH, CRAP!" I convinced myself that it just wasn't meant to be cause thanks to Sydney's comment on yesterday's blog, I think I may have been using the wrong size needles for the weight of my yarn. But never fear....I happened to have some nice gray wool yarn that I think will work on these # 3 needles...and I've already started on the new pair! So, hopefully I'll show you my progress in an upcoming blog.
On a happier note.....I just had to show you a picture of the cutest little cookie....that's what I said COOKIE!


Don't you just want to eat them up!!!! And I did....they taste the same as the real size without the calories. Check them out if you are a weight watcher like me (yep, I watch my weight go UP....and I watch my weight go DOWN....unfortunately the UP is ahead of the DOWN....but I'm trying!)
Okay, enough for tonight....I'll talk to yunz all tomorrow....tootle-lu!

Shawls and Socks

With a title like that you know there's gonna be pics.
First...now that the shawl I made is safely in my swap buddy's arms, (with many thanks from her) I can show you the pic.


It was a lion brand pattern from their site...I believe it was the Easy Triangle Shawl. Crocheted with 2 strands of crochet thread held together, it was really easy. I did it in an off white. I was really pleased with the outcome.
Second, I'm going to show you a pic of my first sock and the book it came from.


I think I may have use the wrong type of yarn tho the gauge was right. So I'm just going to keep on keeping on with it. I made it with Knit Picks Dancing Yarn. I'm telling you that Knit Picks is the BEST! They are super cheap and quick in deliverying. I'm very pleased with them anyway.
Tell me what you think about the sock and be honest. I'm so afraid it's going to be too small tho there is this thin elastic thread that runs through it to make it very elastic.
I'd also like to know the difference in sock yarns. I understand they should be wool or have some wool in them but what is DK mean? And, what needles are best with what yarns....I've only seen the #3 DPNS....what sizes to these come in? Okay, that's it on socks. I do have to say that knitting these socks is really Addicting!!!!! And fun!
Last but not least, I want to give a big SHOUT OUT to my wonderful niece who reads my blog daily (what a trooper!) because she emailed me thinking that I went to that big CRAFT STORE in the sky cause I didn't blog one day. I told her I was just pooped from painting. I'm starting to pace myself on this painting project....a little each day....so don't worry....even if I talk about nothing, I'll blog!!! Oh, and before I forget...thanks to all yunz guys who told be how to kill the spam.
Okay, till tomorrow.....happy yarning!

Questions, questions, questions...

I just have to say this....I salute all of you knitters who make these fabulous looking socks....gorgeous designed socks.....beautiful colorful perfectly looking knitted socks!!!!!! I've done many kinds of crafts in the last 45 years of my life, but there are few that were so difficult that I couldn't manage them. Knitting socks is ONE of them!!! I've ripped out the pair I've started about 5 times already but I'm not giving up...this won't beat me!!! Just tell me if I'm going crazy, or did all of you sock knitters have a difficult time working with 4 needles at one time? I'm trying to concentrate on the needles I'm working on, but I seem to every once in awhile, and as careful as I am, to pick up stitches!!! I'm making the most basic sock from a learn to knit socks book.....I mean it's like the "Dick and Jane" of knitting....ya know...Puff and Spot!!!! This is nuts! If any of you know of a trick or secret tips to doing this....or maybe want to tell me your first time stories, I will most definately welcome the help. I'm not giving up at all.....it seems like the more I do it the more rows I'm getting through before I get frustrated and frog!
Also, another question....any of you that use blogger, do you know if there is something to prevent spam...I'm actually starting to get comments that direct me to a landscape site or some non-existent craft site......what's that about????? The only spam I wanna see on my blog comes from a can!!!!
And please be patient with me if I haven't been leaving comments on your blogs....I'm having a heck of time sometimes leaving comments.....must be just slow out there or something. But I'm reading you all and I'll let you know when the computer isn't being a poo-poo head!!!
Well, that's it for now. Just some questions I wanted to throw out there. Hope you can help cause I really really want to knit socks (among all the other zillions of things I want to do!)
Oh, and don't forget your daily trip to Mexico at The Funny Peppers! Till tomorrow...

Can you smell them?

I love lilacs. Can you smell them? These are some of the flowers on a bush in my back yard. When I was a little girl we had two lilac bushes in this yard. When I moved back in this house that I grew up in, the lilac bushes were gone, but I managed to find a few sprigs sticking up near an area where one of the bushes were further down in the yard. Just for the heck of it, I dug up this sprig, which was not more than a stick, and replanted it were one of the bushes had been years ago. It bloomed and grew into this beautiful bush...like it was meant to be there.....I guess like I was meant to be here. I love this old house....I fought to get back in it after my divorce and I did. It was gutted and remodeled when my ex and I moved in here 15 years ago. Now it's getting a mini makeover that my sweetie man and I are doing....making it bright and beautiful the way it was when I was a little girl. We have more painting to do and it needs recarpeted....but we'll do it. I've started repainting the kitchen today....and I'm so excited about it. It's something I'm doing as a surprise for my sweetie whenever he returns. The kitchen is really his spot since he loves to cook....so it's all going to be done in a pepper motif. I took some before pics and I'll take "after" pics and definately put them on my blog. So keep an eye out.....cause it's gonna be something to see...I can't wait to finish it up.
Well, that's it for tonight.....trying to figure out knitting socks and crocheting a new purse all inbetween the painting. The busier I keep, the faster the time will go while my sweetie man is away. Of course, my son did tell me not to be sad cause he'll be around alot...which I thought was nice. He neglected to tell me that all his friends would be around too though....that's okay.....I love the noise! Till tomorrow.....later gator! Oh, before I forget...thanks for all your "zit" stories and advice.....mine is doing much better...the spiders haven't hatched yet but they don't hurt as much either!!!

Friday, April 28, 2006

urban legends...

Did anyone ever tell you the story about a kid they knew who knew a kid who had a cousin who had a spider bite that kept getting bigger and bigger and unbeknownst to them, it was actually a nest of spider eggs that one day broke open and let loose a flurry of baby spiders on his face???
Well, let me tell you.....I think that nest is on the left side of my face near my ear...and it hurts!!! At least it does when I touch it (any one of you say, "well then don't touch it"....I swear I'll never read your blog again!)
No in reality, I've got this zit that looks like a second ear.....it's actually just one of those "headless zits" and I'm almost 50!!!! Go figure!!!! Will they ever ever end!!!!! Maybe if I would grow up mentally, I wouldn't get them. It is a sore one though. I'm hoping anyway that's all it is.....I was just to the doc this week and had blood tests and all and he felt around my glands so I'm sure he would have felt something suspicious then...so don't all of you start to worry!!!! I'm nothing but a big 'ol zit head. And, if you are still a teenager, and your mom says, "oh, you'll outgrow it"......sorry, it just plain don't work that way. They may diminish....but they will always be there. But I do have a theory about zits....(don't I always)......if you have them, that means your face produces alot of nice oils which keep your skin nice and young looking....so that when you are 80 years old...you'll only look 60 cause you have such great oily skin.
Okay...that's all I have to say today! I didn't blog yesterday cause I really was so very very busy helping my sweetie get ready for his trip then I got to bed really really late since my son and I took him to the airport. So, before sweetie man returns, I plan on painting the entire kitchen (which I will show before and after pics) as well as losing a few pounds.....so please don't show cakes and cookies on your blogs till I accomplish my weight goal ( you know who you are!)
Just kidding...hope I made you smile today......going to try and attempt my first knited pair of socks......so, till tomorrow.....tootles.

Getting better...

Well, the sinus thing is getting better. Still there today a little but as the weather evens out so do my sinus. I love my homemade microwave pad that I use for the sinus problem. I have quite a few of them. I've made big ones with placemats, quick ones with long heavy sport socks, and just plain ol' flannel. They work up so quick with feed corn. I guess that the feed corn holds the heat better than rice...at least that is what I've been told. We have a feed and garden center directly across the street from where I work, so that is cool for me. The guy there told me to put the feed corn in the freezer tho for awhile before I use it to kill all the creepy crawlers that may be hiding in there. If any of you have never heard of these corn pillows, let me know and I'll give you directions to make them or you can just google homemade microwave packs. I have literally just taken a sock and filled it about half way with the corn and tied a knot in the end. I then popped it in the microwave for about two minutes, put it on my head, the back of my neck or in the case of cramps, on my stomach....and soon I was feeling better. I just love those things.....make super gifts too. I would make various sizes and put them in a basket or whatever. Everyone loved them.
Boy, I really didn't have much to say today but I managed to find something....not bad. I'm actually on the last rows of my Shawl Swap shawl which is why I don't have too much to show you tonight. My recepient probably thinks she's not getting anything....I think it will be worth the wait actually.....so I'm a bit of a procrastinator!
Well, that's it for tonight! I get to sleep in a bit tomorrow since I'm taking a personal day at work to help my sweetie man pack for a little trip he is taking. So, gang, till tomorrow.....tootles!
