Tanya's gift done!!

Well,

I finally finished the Glamprye Shrug . I decied to give to my daughter for her birthday gift. I used Debbie Bliss Stella in 38009 colr. That is a nice rich red, the yarn is 60% silk, 20% rayon and 20% cotton. I will tell her to wash on gentle cycled or hand wash and hand to dry. I think she will look very smart in this color. Can't believe she'll be 28 at the end of this month! Boy how time flys by. It is raining and thunder storming like crazy today, I am surprised that our back yard did not float away. The pool over flowed 2 times so we lowered the water yet again. I am glad that it is an in-ground pool. We have special drains along the back of the house which drains it into the street. Well I have so knitting to tackle am working on a baby blanket, a throw for the doctor as a thank you gift and making some accessories as well. Hey a girls' gotta keep busy.

Happy knitting and have a great week!

Talk about Busy lol

Wow has been a few days since my last post. I have been knitting like a storm. I have several things on the needles will have to post those pictures later. I am going to do laundry now then go to bed.

The above picture shows some lace being done for a scarf. I have yet to get back to doing lol. Anway adios and catch ya on the wild side !

G'Day

Well I am believeing it will be a good day. Even though I hve yet to go to sleep, yes I have been up over 24 hours. I just do not feel sleepy. So I am knitting on different projects. I hope to have an appointment at the doctor's soon. So that I can have this lump taken care of and removed. My husband is so afraid that something will happen to me. I told him , have faith the Lord is in control. Well I am going to knit 15 more rows then go to bed, I should be tired by them lol.

Hve an awesome day!!

So tired

Things have been crazy,I fisnished the shrug and the dish cloth I was working on. Now I am working on my sister Linda's gift and the tote I am making for my poartner in the tote exchange. But I havea been completely drained of energy since Saturday. I discovered a lump in my left breast. This is the second one. I had one removed in May 2005. This one fees like a grape at first but then it spreads out. Michael is beside himself with worry and there have been times when I have heard him crying. I told him not to worry that I am going to see the doctor and that will all be ok. It will be removed and it will be nothing. But having lost a sister to cancer and his mom is a breast cancer survivor did not make the news easy for him to take. So I might be off line a bit so I can concentrate on positive things and get the tote finished for the exchange. Y'all have an awesome week!!

Ciao! CW

Mother's Day came partly early today

Hey all,Just wanted to say: Happy Mother's day to you all.

Also wanted to tell you about an early gift I got today. Here are 2 pictures. We did the usual aturday thing after going into Houston foran Eye Clinic visit at the VA. Michael and I did our Trader'sVillage Flea Market Stroll.Then he said I want to take you to Lunch today for Mother's Day,we're going to dinner tomorrow after church but I want to dosomething special now. So we went to the Golden Corral. Then hesaid I need to run and errnad before we go home so I just continuedto knit while he drove. Well we end up at the local yarn shop and Isaid hey what are we doing here. His reply "to get you yourMother's Day gift, I thought that he was getting me a gift certificate.

Lordy, I nearly passed out!! I started to smile and grin and the owner handed me the pink set of needles. So I am now the proud owner of the Pink set of Denise Circular needle set!! I wanted the pink because $5.00 goes the Sue Ireland Breast Cancer Research foundation. 2 years ago I discovered a lump in my breast and thought I would die. It wasn't cancer thank you Jesus but the stress, anguish and the waiting to get the results were the longest weeks of my life. So that is why I chose the pink because I want a cure to befound for this horrible disease. I hope to have 2 new pictures for the next post which will be in a few days. I am finishing up 2 projects tht I have been presently working on.

The weather is getting warmer and in about a week our pool will be ready and I will be able to sit on the edge and dangle my legs in the water. Then soon I will begin my water aerobics. We have purchased 2 cute life jackets for the dogs so they can go swimming with us and also on the off shot that they fall in the pool if we are inside they won't drown. We are looking into getting an alarm system for the pool. They are a bit more expensive for in-ground pools. Well y'all have a great day!!

Ciao!

My visit to RI and Spa Sock progress

Well it's been a crazy time for me. Went back to visit and see my daughter graduate from Tech School. We are so proud of her. Michael left her a beautiful message on my cell phone since he did not have her cell number. Then of course had to see the grand kids. Aren't they cuties? They have grown quite a bit since the last time I saw them.

Well I finally finished one Spa sock and should have the other done by the end of the week. Then I will start on the pair for my sister. I finally got the yarn in lilac. Well it is a subdued lilace and I have a nice shade of green for te cuffs.

My mom loves the shawl/wrap I am making abnd has asked me to get the exact same yarn so she can make one too. So I got the yarn the circular neddle and the pattern for her and will mail it all this weekend. Well it is almost 1:15 in the morning and I need to do a little more work on the spa sock and then I need to get to bed. Michael has oral surgery tomorrow so I will have to make the drive into Houston, YUCK road construction sucks!!

Plus what a score I made yarn wise today at the Family Thrift store. I brought a bag of yarn, 8.5 balls of 100% virgin wool yarn called Icelandia in the color way called Dark Wood.
