I have been horribbly, wretchedly, terribly bad at posting! I mean realy, it’s been over two months since my last post. I can list the excusesm, (i.e. depression, illness, hollidays out of town, forgetfulness, etc), but it amounts to I f***ed up and didn’t post! Please forgive me, or(if you wish) beat me with a long wet noodle…hehehehehe.

Summer’s Jazzy Jacket-your votes/input needed

Sorry for the quality of these pictures. This is the jean jacket I am dolling up for my grand-daughter, Summer. It needs something, but just what? I need some input. Short of carrying it with me, stopping complete strangers and asking them for input, I thought I’d ask y’all. I want the jacket to be “toddler fashionista” when I am done, and not “victom of a crafter”! I need some help. Please post comments as to what you think the jacket needs to be toddler fashionista. The winning comment will get their choice of either, (1) some little something from my knitting stash, (2)some little something knitted for them [i.e. felted needle bag, scrunchie, etc.], or (3) quilting fabric from my quilting stash. I want to mail the jacket priority mail in time for her to get it for valentine’s day, so I’ll choose a winning idea on the 27th of this month. That gives y’all two weeks to rescue me…hehehehe…PLEASE!

KOOLAIDE CAN BE ADDICTIVE!!!!!

Again, I am sorry for the quality of these pictures. Okay, so the tittle could be misleading.
I know today is Friday the 13th, but for me it was a lucky day indeed! My most recent http://www.knitpicks.com/ order came in the mail. Contained within this order were two hanks of “Wool of the Andes” ‘paint your own’ fingering weight yarn. Now I know my oldest son, Summer’s daddy, wanted me to knit his socks and let him dye the socks himself. But he will just have to wait for that pair of socks! (Atleast till I get the money to order more such yarn, and provided I don’t go gonzo again with the koolaide! roflol….hehehehe) The pictures are a bit misleading on the color–cheap digital camera and operator error–but here’s the result of my koolaide dying. [You see, the knitpicks catalog came today to, and in it were instructions on drinkmix dying in the microwave!] I just wish that I had ordered more of the ‘paint your own’ yarn, and had more koolaide too!


General Stuff Update

Well my dh has decided NOT to get me a new computer with tax return monies afterall, waaa waaa waaa. For some reason, tongue firmly in cheek here, he wants to save the money and/or pay on bills. All is not a total loss, if he holds to his latest rant (and there’s no garuntee as it seems to change daily almost), atleast I should get a good [not just decent!] digital camera! Will keep you updated, I swear!

My youngest son brought home his most recent report card yesturday. Two amazing things about this, (1)he brought it home the day he got it to bring home–first time in his 15.5 years!, (2)he effectively made straight A’s! What do I mean efeectively? He is pulled out of his last class of the day ten or fifteen minutes after it starts so that he can get on the special education bus to come home. The class is EARTH SCIENCE, deffinately a hands-on kid in class kind of subject. So we do not “count” that grade, considering that the teacher said if he were able to be in the entire class he’d be making an A in it, when we talk about his grades at home. Woo Hoo!

Well that’s about all for now. I promise, I swear I do, to keep better updates from now on.
