April Showers Bring May Flowers

Well, here is May, Mother’s Day even.  Not much going on here.  Still taking a class, but I intend to take a break until Fall so maybe I can start knitting again for a bit.  I have some baby stuff to prepare.  I noticed this last year, but again this year, the peonies in my yard are beginning to finally bloom, just in time for a pretty bouquet for mother’s day.  I am excited.  I look forward to them every year.  I like to fix them up in vases with Hosta leaves.  Makes for a very pretty arrangement.  Well, just wanted to check in to let you know I was still here.

It's March!

Well, now it's March. Hope everyone had a Happy St. Patrick's Day! Not much going on. It's been pretty boring around here. Spring is starting to show some signs of attempting to show itself. So, things are starting to thaw out. The schools are beginning their Spring break sessions. We are planning a trip to Las Vegas! I hope we have a good time. I've never been there. I've been told there is a lot to do there. I don't plan to do a lot of gambling, unless I win :P

I have not been knitting because I am still taking classes and I feel guilty if I spend any free time on knitting rather than studies. But, I am starting to feel the guilt turn a 180. I would most certainly rather be knitting. I have to master a pair of socks. It's just a given.

Oh well, just really wanted to check in. Wish I had something more interesting to post, like a nice finished object!

Maybe next month.

February Cha Chu Cha Cha Cha

Well, It's February. I've begun another class at WKU. It takes a lot of my free time that I used to use knitting. I kinda like taking the classes but I kinda don't. I don't like the way I have to stay on schedule to get the classwork done or I get behind. If I didn't work full time, I guess it would be ok. I don't know how these kids do it, working, going to school, they take more hours than I do. But they probably don't work full time, most of them anyway. There is no humanly way possible. Anyway, I just wanted to post something, anything. I don't want to ignore my blog. However, it was set up originally to log my knitting objects and since I don't have any projects going right now, I have to write about what is going on. Work and studying. I am also following my youngest daughter around the region watching her play club volleyball. That's my boring life right now. I wonder.....does the weather have something to do with this feeling of boredom? When the weather is nice, who has time to blog? Oh well. Hope everyone has a wonderful Valentine's Day!

HAPPY 2010!

Happy New Year everyone! I hope this new year brings me more time to knit. I began a project on my vacation during Christmas and if I had not ran out of yarn, had a few needle cable breaks, and not had to frog it once, I might be finished with it. I am knitting the Twisted Cable Neckwarmer. I am using a yarn that looks a little thicker than what the pattern recommended but it still looks nice. As soon as I get a photo I will post it on this blog. I am hoping to have time to knit more. I am once again taking another college class. I've also embarked on some wellness activities. There just isn't enough hours in the day to do all the things you actually want to do versus what you have to do. Drives me crazy!

Christmas Already!?

Well here it is December! can't say I've been busy knitting. I have managed to knit a special scarf for my Godmother. I missed her birthday and when I think of all the thoughtful cards and gifts I received without fail every year on all the holidays, well let's just say she's an example. She is a very giving person. I learned that about her early on. She will always hold a special place in my heart. I hope she likes her birthday/Christmas gift. ~Sorry no picture.
