My mind is running wild

I've waited so long for my best friend Marie to be pregnant and now that it's happening I have SOOOO many things planned to make for this bundle of joy. And not knowing if it's boy or girls just means I have to make twice as much. I have some just boy and just girl items planned so I'll make both and then I'll be ready. hehe

Working on one item right now with a million in line next.

Well, I GOT THE JOB!!!!!!!!! I start in August. And silly me...I was so excited that I forgot to ask what my start date would be. I told him I was available on Fridays in the meantime if he needed me. I figure that would help me slowly learn things before I really dive in. The office is very fast paced and it will take some getting used to. Definitely not what I'm used to. Crown preps take all of 1 hour instead of 4 at my current office. Wow. It'll be interesting...but I'm excited that I will finally have more time with my family and hopefully be a lot less stressed out!

Try this at home!

Okay are you sitting? Good. Now, raise your right leg slightly off the ground and movie it around in a circle. Like you're drawing a zero with your foot. Turn your circle clockwise. Make sure it's clockwise. Now, while you're turning your leg/foot in a circle clockwise, draw the number 6 in the air. Can you do it while you still have your foot going in a clockwise circle? Bet you didn't! Amazing what our brains can do huh?

Well, 4 hours and counting. I have butterflies in my stomach. I really need to calm down. I just keep thinking how incredibly awesome it will be to finally get a different job and one sooooo close to home and I don't want to screw up the chance. Alyssa and Trinity are excited because I told them we could look into signing up for basketball and cheerleading this fall if I'm working in town.

Well, I'm going to go knit some and try to calm my nerves. lol

Tomorrow is the big day!

1:00 I'm getting nervous now. I go for my working interview. I picture myself working fine the entire time and then afterwards dropping to my hands and knees begging for the job. LOL That's how badly I want this. I would have more time with my family because I wouldn't be driving almost an hour to work. And I feel I'd be a lot less stressed out.

On a different note, I finally pulled out my sewing machines last night. I used all 3. They had a bit of dust since I've ignored them for a month or longer. I made a cute fleece diaper cover (a soaker in the CD world). I cut out and embroidered one for LJ, but haven't sewn it. This will be something new I'm offering in my HC store. They're not exactly fun to make with the legholes and serger, but they're adorable when they're finished.

More yummy wool

Remember this?



Well, this is what it became! Isn't it gorgeous?! Will get a pic in natural light in the next couple days. It's dark outside now, so the kitchen pic will have to do.

Colorway: BLUE MOON





And I just got in 1lb of undyed BFL wool yarn today and I can't wait until I get the perfect color combo ideas to dye it up!

"We're having a baby"

Catch your attention? Hehe. My best friend, Marie, called the other night to tell me that she and her hubby, Chip, are pregnant with their first baby. I was so excited that I called Joe to tell him the news. Well, we all know men only half listen to what their wives are saying so here's how it went.

I said: "Marie's having a baby"

He heard: "We're having a baby"

LOL. You should've heard the fear in his voice when he said "WHAT?!?" I repeated it and he sighed the loudest sigh of relief. He said "Marie and we sound a lot alike. I about had a heart attack" Too funny!

Well, weekend is over. Back to work for me. The boss is back from her 2 week trip to Italy so today is sure to be a crazy day. Not looking forward to it. I guess that explains my sitting here at 7:20 still in my pjs stalling. I go for my working interview this Friday afternoon. I am sooooo praying that this is my big break. I'm already looking forward to getting home right after I get off work instead of an hour after. And I can go home for my lunchbreaks because it's so close. I tried not to get my hopes up, but this opportunity would be so great for us....it's hard not to.

OK..no more stalling. I'm off to get ready.

What became of the "pepper" yarn

I took a suggestion from my friend Ali and tried light blue. Only it didn't turn out light blue. It came out much darker. Oh well...I'm a newbie. I ended up liking how it turned out. Just got it reskiened and here is the end result.

Colorway: SUMMER






And the next one in line awaits here

Sunday Morning Funny

No big plans for today. Going to church in a bit and then coming home to play with yarn and dye some more. I need to find something that shows how to mix different primary colors to make other colors. I'm getting a little bored with red, yellow, green, and blue. LOL I can't wait to see how the first skein turned out. It's hanging to try now.
