~ Happy St. Paddy's Day! ~

Hope everyone is getting their fill of cornbeef and cabbage along with their green beer chasers. Nothin much has been going on around here other than working on my top secret projects. Bubba has been sick. He no sooner got over strep throat and now he's on antibiotics again for a sinus deal. Seems like a more mild form of Ebola that I had back in December. Now Shaggy has been complaining of a sore throat. Oh lucky me! LOL

At least things have been quiet around here. I got all the clothes folded and put away finally. I hate folding clothes it's tedious. Unfortunately if I don't do it then it won't ever get done in this household. Like so many other things. I have a ton of laundry to wash this weekend along with grocery shopping. So, it looks like I'll be folding and doing laundry for the next week. LOL

I hope to finish up one of my top secret projects this week that I have casted on and started. I'm doing it in Light blue cotton so I'm anxious to see it completed. Then I have more to knit and more projects to plan. LOL

Just for fun: They actually got it right I'm surprised! LOL

You Belong in Fall

Intelligent, introspective, and quite expressive at times... You appreciate the changes in color, climate, and mood that fall brings Whether you're carving wacky pumpkins or taking long drives, autumn is a favorite time of year for you

What Season Are You?

~ Zee Curtains Boss, Zee Curtains! ~

They are finally here and up. YEAH! I’m so excited. I lucked out while rummaging around Wal-Mart and found the perfect curtains for the LR. I've been waiting a few weeks to buy them. They’re lined Damask curtains in the color Belvedere blue. I couldn’t believe my luck when I saw them. I didn’t think I’d ever find the right curtains for the LR. Shaggy the man child help me put them up. He's such a good boy to his mama. Bubba and Hubby like them too. Bubba loves the way they feel. Hope I can keep him off of them. LOL



They have the same light grey blue on them as the walls just with more shine. See! Now all we need is the new sheers and my Picture window is good to go.

~ A Boy and His Sticks! ~

Bubba decided he wanted to try knitting again. So I gave him his size 15 kids needles with yarn on it from last summer and away he went. Here's the proof! He's doing good. He's added stitches and made holes but it's all good. I'm just glad to see him enjoying himself. The only down side is he's turned into jabberjaws! If his diarreah of the mouth continues I may need to seek medical expertise to rememdy the situtation. LMAO!

He's been busy creating his own stitches already. LOL
His latest he calls the spiderman stitch. LOL
Now he's making me want to knit something with my new bounty. Sneaky kids! lol

~ I'm Your Private Stash Flasher ~

Well today I went on a trip to Pamida, which is about an hour away from me. They had Sugar N Cream cotton yarn on sale for 99 cents. As you can see I made sure I got my fair share. LoL
Had more solids than I expected so I grabbed some of all the solids they had except for black, white, ecru and dark pine. Yes, I have something against those colors. LoL
Then I couldn’t resist the variegated yarns. The colors are so pretty they just suck me in like a moth to a flame, which usually has the same end result. LOL

Pamida didn’t have any size 7 straight needles so on the way home I stopped at Wally world (AKA Walmart). That was a mistake. I found the needles and bought 2 skeins of Peaches & Crème Gum Drop and 2 skeins of Peaches & Crème Sea Mist.



Here is a picture of all my cotton yarn stash! It turned out that when I tried to stack another row on the top row they all came toppling down. Well, I stacked them back up then decided to use the piano bench for the extra. But I forgot 3 skeins that I had hid behind myself. UGH! So, that’s my stash minus 3 skeins. I have about 77 skeins now. I need more!!! I don’t have all the colors yet! LOL

Here’s a funny story for your amusement.

Yesterday while I was making chili for supper I was talking on the phone to me Mumzie, I decided I’d spray my muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray for my cornbread muffins. Can’t have chili without cornbread! It’s a sacrilege! LOL
The spray nossel on the can wasn’t straight (i.e. lined up to the center of the front of the can), so I thought I’d straighten it out. Yes, I’m anal about it! The next thing I know I’ve got non-stick cooking spray in my right eye and all over my forehead! Now this really doesn’t surprise me much considering I’m the same person who maced themselves by accident! If I didn’t have this anal kick about things facing the right direction on certain items I could of spared myself the grease bath. LOL

On a side note: I did not finish the baby sweater. I realized that I was not into it at all and ripped it out so there will be no future picture of a finished baby sweater. Sorry!

~ It's a Baby Sweater! ~

Yesterday I started on a baby sweater for my new niece. It's in the Precious layettes to knit booklet from leisure arts. I'm almost done with the left sleeve already. Just have 8 more rows to go.
Will post another pic when it's finished. Now back to knitting! LOL

~ The Wonderful Blizzard of Oz! ~

Welcome to a winter wonderland. They are talking 8-12 inches with 18 inches being a possibility. It’s really coming down right now. The wind is supposed to pick up later today so were talking blizzard and ground blizzard conditions when the snow finally stops blowing. Zero visibility will be the norm. I’ll be lucky if I can see the house four houses down the street. Shaggy the man-child and darling Hubby are out shoveling what’s fallen since this morning. Hubby says it’s about 4 inches.



The back yard looks beautiful. I only opened up my sliding door too take the picture cause I didn’t want to put footprints in the pristine undisturbed snow. It’s a hang up of mine since child hood. It’s one of those things of leaving beauty alone for the sheer purity of it. Bubba however can’t wait to get out there and ruin it. LoL
