School Days

Well school starts today so my knitting and crocheting will slow down. I am taking Macroeconomics, Sociology and Math 60 this semester all online.

I hope I can do the online thing and keep up. This will be a first for me. This will be a first for me.

I already checked into my Sociology class and read the first 19 pages of Chapter one.

I've already read the first chapter in my Macro book so hopefully I'll do ok.

Well off to work. No rest for the wicked!!!!

My Granddaughter

As some of you know I've been trying to get my granddaughter back after her being put into fostercare. I am going through the Kinship program and had my final inspection of the house and it's been approved.

Now we are waiting for the main social worker to do her job, so I can go get her.

We ripped out the spare bedroom that was an office complete with built in counters and I bought her this precious bedroom set.

Above is the bed and above that is the matching desk and dresser that goes with her bed. I fell in love with this set. I am so hoping she loves this.

I cannot wait to see her face when she sees this.

In Loving Memory

I inherted this beautiful cat 8 years ago from my mother when she passed away. I am sorry to say that Sweet Pea is now back with mom.


Mom take care of her. I love you both!!!!

Last week of school

Well I am behind on pictures and my blog. The only excuse I have is Finals.............. Trying hard not to procrastinate, but it's not working too well. Here I am posting on my blog when I should be writing a final essay and would rather be knitting.

I was on a roll and got interrupted and so I am now trying to figure out how to get back on track.

Oh well maybe in a few minutes. hehe

Members of my Family

Ok, so I had to live up to my name and put the rest of the pictures of my family on my blog. I have no mouse, but I do have 3 kitties who own me and allow me to feed them and pet them. Starting from The baby - Tu-ee has one blue eye and one brown eye. She thinks she's special because she's the baby. Next we have the middle child - Boo boo She thinks she's the queen of the world. Then we have the Matriarch - Sweet Pea she's approx 9 years old and I was elected to take care of her feeding and petting when my mother passed away in 2000. They all own me and I'm proud to be owned by them.

I am Sandi's human. The cats like to go around saying Cats rule and dogs drool, funny though, they run when chased. hmmm maybe Sandi is on to something.

The Gang

Let's see we have starting at the left, Leesa, Mel, Mindy, Jamies and Darcy in the background shooting her own pics. LOL

Jamie and Dawn

Jamie (sorry if it's spelled wrong) and Dawn happily knitting and crocheting away.

Susan

Knotty Knitter's Meeting

Had a good time at the Knotty Knitter's meeting today. Even got the all elusive picture of Darcy to post.

Comments on Blog

Here I have these friends who post comments on my blog. I approved them and they still don't show. Don't know what I am doing wrong. Maybe Darcy can help me at the meeting today.

Dogs

My 6 month old dog went in for surgery yesterday to get fixed. She comes home today. Poor Sandi. I know it must hurt. She was a whine bag at the Vets office. So much for a big bad tough doggie. LOL Just kidding.

I love the fact that she's a sweetheart.

Updating this to try and add a pic of my baby Sandi. She is also doing quite well. Would never known she had surgery.

Mid-Month Dishcloth Made

I finished my mid-month dishcloth last night. It's a cool looking pattern even though I think I did something wrong. It doesn't look like the ones on the pictures but it is cool looking anyway. I think I'll keep it. LOL

Sun Dress for Granddaughter

Ok, so now I'm back to the point where I was when I had to frog my granddaughters sundress. I guess it is time to start on the next step and see what happens from here. At least it is not twisted this time. LOL

Aaaarggggh!!!

Ok so I just figured out that I have a twist in my circular knitting. So now I have to frog my granddaughters sundress. *Sigh*

Reverse Stockinette Stitch

Ok so today I learned that reverse stockinette stitch was just purling when knitting the round. Why oh why doesn't the pattern just say purl for the next inch and a half?

Us newbies need to create a new language. "Knitting Latin" LOL Ok so I am off to sleep now. Did some homework and actually knitted some and did one row on my afghan I am crocheting.

Oh and did I mention I worked today too and went to class? No wonder I am exhausted.
