Frusterated!!!

I'm mad.
My best friends wedding is on July 28th, no problem, except about 6 people are taking off from our department for that weekend. I've expressed my worries to the manager , but she's pretty damn flighty, so I'm nervious and mad that maybe I wont get it and I'll have to call in cause there is no way in hell that i'm missing it.
My sister might have MS, they are doing more testing,but they are pretty sure that's what it is.
My mom just had another heart operation, my s-dads kidneys are failing and my fiancie is pissing me off left and right as well as his parents!!

Why can't we go a week without fighting about them?? Why can't he just leave me alone until I simmerdown and QUIT ASKING WHY I'M PISSED WHEN HE KNOWS WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm sad and frusterated because the best friends of my Stu who are like brothers to him are dissing him and making him mad and I'm the one who takes the punishment!!

I'm just crocheting my frusterations out into a baby blanket for my cousin due in january.

I'm just sad

Hey Ya'll I'm Back!

After moving and about 3 weeks with out internet, I am back.
Sence I've been gone....
I'm in progress of putting togeather a granny square blanket and I've tryed out a couple hexagon/grannys.

I'm smack in the middle of a Baby suprise jacket by Elisabeth Zimmerman.
This is the first pattern of hers I've ever tried and I'm likeing it!

I made the Harry bear from http://www.berroco.com
He is so cute!

I have all the stuff for my wedding invites, I just need to decide the location and get Stuart to get some addresses then I'll be set to print, pack and mail them! Wahoo!

Anyway, I'll ttyl

DONE

Finished, addressed and ready to send. 66 squares (over 1/2 already sent) DONE for my Friendship afghan square exchange. It was my goal to have them done by the 14th when postage rates go up and the price to ship 1 will be tripple what it is now.
I'm relived, now I can work on other stuff, but still the urge to granny it up is irristable, and my urge to make the Larger Than Life bag from the spring Interweave Crochet has me wanting to start something new...........

Another pair of socks.....

I cast on another pair of socks last week after finishing my moms mothers day socks.
The ones I'm workign on now are made of the Lornas laces flamingo, AKA the breast cancer awareness color way.
I found some fabric with pink ribbons on it I want to make a quilt with, but we are in the middle of a move so big projects are out of the question right now. I'm sticking with socks and my sock yarn blanket that is growing very quickly!!

Anyway. I want to get these socks done by the end of my weekend, wensday, so i'll TTYL!

My wedding!

I just got engaged yesterday! WHOOT!
I need a new camera so there will be a picture of the ring, just not right away!


I also just started a blanket out of sock yarn and I'm looking for donations!
Just leave a comment and I'll contact you!

TTYL!

Baby it's COLD outside!

I wish I didn't have car insurance to pay otherwise I'd have a nice new digital camera not only to show you my recent knitting, but the 8" of snow we got on sunday night.
I didn't get off work until midnight and it took me 40 minuites to go 5 miles, sliding sideways in the middle of town in the middle of the road half way.
It was not fun.
I started a garter stitch scarf tonight during the season premiere of The Real House Wifes of Orange County.
Now I wish there was something else good on tv to watch......

Resolutions

It is the first week of a new year and many people vow to change them selfs over the next year, mostly for the better......... :)
I like to vow to knit at least 1 item for a charity. This year I select http://www.knitforkids.org/

I want to make at least 1 sweater,hopefully more.
There simple enough for me to work on at work and I can change the colors and pattern to suite my mood and the diffaculty level I want.As well as useing up my extensive "small ball" stash.
I've already cast on the front of a sweater!

In other news I won some yarn from http://www.yellowdogknitting.com/blog/ !!
Hopefully with tax returns I will get a new camera, as mine is so old I can't find a new cord for it! YAY! :P

Christmas came and Christmas went,3 days in a row

Day 1 (Christmas eve): work from 12 to 6:30 go to sister #3's house and disperse presents to the 3 B's, making Stu never want to have children. His exact words were " Phicial law states that 1 person can be in no more that one place at once. BULL S***T!!!!THOSE THINGS WERE EVERYWHERE!!!!!"

Day 2(Christmas): Visit sister #2's house for Christmas feast and disperse more Christmas presants to 2 more ,silghtly better behaved childern. Stu is still insisting that we will never have children.

Day 3(day after Christmas): We visit Stu's folks, disperse more Christmas presants.Stu tells him mother we will never give her grandchildren, making her almost cry.(I don't like his mother, this was a very satisfactory reaction for me because she treats me as though I am her grandchild machine.Stu is an only child,therefor I'm her only chance at grandchilden. I'm not even 20 yet. I'm not having kids until this bitch no longer walks this earth, or drives her scooter while I'm at it.She pisses me off that bad!)
I sit back and say nothing, but I'm giggling with glee inside.

I want kids, I really do, but not while his parents are alive.They torture me enough, I don't want to bring kids into it.His dad is 80 and his mom almost 70, I'm hoping we wont have to wait long.

Oh yea, and while I'm at it sis#1 announced she is fileing for divorce. Her husband thinks he's found something better so she's letting him have it.
There are 2 kids in the mix, a 9 year old daughter that my sis had from another relationship and a 3 year old boy that they had togeather.

Not any knitting, just need to vent.Camera cord still gone,considering getting a new camera with tax returns.

No camera cord....

I acually had photo content today but my camera cord is gone to the way of the Gnomes or something like that.

I'm knitting Stu a scarf for christmas complete with a skull and crossbone knit into one end.
It's awesome, I already have the colorwork done, that's what I took the picture of.
I finished 1 pair of baby booties that makes 2 down 1 to go. YAY ME!
The last pair is on the needles, 1st one is down to the toe. I'll finish them over my weekend.
I also got some reminents of X-Mas material that I want to turn into a small blanket for future baby reserves.

I finished a baby sweater down to putting on the buttons that I forgot at home.

Well, I might post tomorrow with pictures if I find a cord at home.

Update on wips and baby gifts

Well, one of the pregger girls at work quit, so I'm not knitting her anything. I finished a baby blanket for one of the ladys due in may, a set of baby socks is also complete and another set cast on and down to the heal turn on the first one. I will probally complete the pair tomorrow.
Right now I'm catching up reading blogs and working on my sweater. Simple stocknette in the round, perfect space out knitting.
It's going very quickly, already going into my 2nd skein.
It's being knitted in Lion Brand Wool ease, blue heather on size 9 needles, pattern, none but by the seat of my pants design.
9 inches of a planed 24 already knit.
I only work on it at my folks where I do the bulk of my online reading.
I have a compuiter at my house, but Stu is usually using it so I wait and then knit like all heck on my sweater once a week and I see alot of progress even though I'm not working on it constantly.

I'll have photos someday, it snowed over the weekend and is fairly gloomy, not good photo taking weather.

Baby Gifts

Many people at work are expecting babys in the next few months and I'm up to my eye balls in crocheting/knitting baby gifts. 2 of the ladys I'm perticuarly close with are getting blankets and the other 3 are getting hat/bootie sets - that I havn't started yet- but I digress.
I've also have gotten orders for 2 pairs of baby booties/socks that I need to complete in the next week.
1 of the blankets is almost done, 1 I started tonight ( the blankets are giant granny squares) and I havn't started on any of the others.
The blankets both need to be done by the end of april,or the baby showers, when ever they may be. The first baby due is in December,then 1 in Febuary, 1 in April and 2 in may.
I just need to sit down and get it done. I'm thinking this week end will be filled with hat and bootie crocheting.
I also want to make a few extras for charity after the gift crocheting is done.
We will see, we will see......

A lil bit about me

I'm a cashier, a crafter, and an aunt of 7 sweeties, 4 girls, 3 boys ages 9 - 2 .

Currently on the needles : (Active)
3 pairs socks , 4 baby/child sweaters, 2 baby afghans for friends, Teddy bears, My neices sweater, Blanket made from sock yarn scraps, log cabin style, and
Christmas ornaments
