Wow...can you imagine...sitting & watching the tele yesterday I had to keep pinching myself...this is history in the making folks! Honestly, Obama is having alot left in his lap to clean up, but my guess is that he is just the man for the job! How inspiring for the world watching, to know that you CAN DO anything you set your mind to. I breathed a sigh of relief when everything took place

Hmm...I think I'm in a bit of a funk. My needles sit prettily from across the room with my current project itching to get finished, but alas, I can't pick them up. I'm sticking to getting my old projects finished before casting on new, and it's leaving me feeling...well completely uninspired :SI'm not sure if it's the weather, lack of nicotine or maybe a combo of both? HELP!I've gotten loads

Happy New Year Everyone! So how was it...did you attend any parties to watch the ball drop? We attended a 1st time local gathering, most all of our neighbors went as well and everyone had a great time. We managed to get home around 1am...not too bad~We are old foggies now...lol. I had one drink but called it quits after that, the smell of cig smoke wafting from the door leading outside was

Phew, so I survived another Christmas/Birthday :P My daughter just turned 16 on the 24th so this time of year is always very, very busy & filled with some stress...lol. We had our usual party (family only) on Christmas Eve, lobster chowder until we all had to unbuckle our pants and of course the Dairy Queen Cake...YUM! Everyone always asks her if she hates having her birthday on X'mas Eve and

Wohoo, so i've not smoked ONE SINGLE CIG for a whole week~I can't believe it. In 22 years I've not gone without a cig for even 6hrs without pulling out my hair :P Chantix if you asked me is a BLOODY MIRACLE! I've heard some bad feedback on this drug but I've not experienced it at all. The only thing I have noticed is that my hot flashes are back a bit heavier than then were before (yes, I'm

Another bag hot of the needles. I am really diggin' this pattern folks, now if I could just be daring enough to try needle felting them. I've got loads of carded fleece in different colors, but with soooo little time to get my Christmas knitting finished, I would hate the thoughts of messing a bag up and having to frog & knit it over again! This one I embroidered some snowflakes on (hard to

It's crazy how the time flies, I've been very neglectful of this blog as of late, possibly as I've recognized that I needed to spend more time taking care of myself. I've been a smoker for over 20 years now~ Wow, I am old! My Dr. recommended Chantix, I'm on day 4. I've spent alot of time reflecting on my life lately and concluded that there's no worse of an enemy than yourself at times. It's

My budget has been a bit tight as of late (well, I always find the $$$ for yarn, but since my episode with paypal I've not purchased online) I was going through my huge stash to find something to start some Christmas knitting and found this I'm not exactly sure what this, but I thought it might make a sweet Abby So far so good, it's little heavier than what the original was knit with, but alas

Hmmm, been awhile since i've posted...busy as a bee here! Unfortunately not enough time knitting though, none of the projects I had been working on are yet finished? Maybe i'll get to sit & knit abit tomorrow (although the spooks will be out) This week i've worked loads & i've experienced my teens first heartbreak with her. Remember when you were in grade 11/12 and you and your first love

This weekend three girls from Ravelry and myself managed to set a date and meet for a sip and knit, a good time had by all! Kelly aka: CelticCastOn, Heidi aka: Lilibeth's Garden and Areli aka:Knittypants all brought their knits, everyone knitting something different of course...and me...well I was just so excited to be out and talking to other people that love to knit (as I) that I hardly picked

I've left my heart in Cape Breton~ Seriously, we just got back from this years Celtic Colors Festival , it was amazing! I'm still looking over the photos of our trip, trying to keep the colors of the hills fresh...the photos don't really do justice. It actually took my breath away at times, to have soooo much color in every direction you looked. I'll never stop talking about it...a trip of a

Been knitting up a storm here in between trying to stay on top of the 'vote' and Thanksgiving~phew~glad it's over :)I had my family over for Thanksgiving and everyone had a great time. My Dad had purchased a bottle of "Newfie Duck" wine on one of his travels to Newfoundland, it was great~ I'd been saving it but since I'm not much of a drinker and I had nothing else to offer in the house, we

HELPPPPPP~For the past 5 years I've been making purchases on Ebay, Etsy and loads of other places that offer yarn, knitting needles...anything to bulk up my stash. I've never had any problems to date, but all that has just changed!On Monday, Oct 6th, I just happened to check my online banking and I found 10 charges to my account...YES>>>10 CHARGES! All for the same dollar amount of 26.45!

I remember being a much younger girl and hearing my parents/grandparents, etc. saying "How the time flies". Funny, I thought the days were so long back then, almost as if time stood still( especially the school years). The time I wasted dreaming about being old enough to drive, wear make-up, buy my own clothes..the list could go on and on. Now, with the 40yr old mark looming up ahead I know

So here's a picture of the Apple Harvest sock that I've been knitting on. It's kind of hard to see the pattern that runs up the back, but kinda cool...don't think i've seen a sock with the pattern running this way...hopefully my Mum will love them.The weatherman is calling for some nasty weather out there. What was hurricane Kyle is now a possible category 1 or less? One thing is for sure, we

So the mailman arrived this past week with a package, I think he hates me pretty much with all the stuff that I order online..tehehe~ I can't help myself and from what I gather I'm not alone. To find yarn that you've not seen before & the desire to want to try it...well let's just say that my willpower isn't that great.Ravelry is the culprit, my enabler this time...it's better than Ebay for sure

So, I have the day off today, home alone, daughter off to school and DH at work....hmmm, what to do? After grinding my beans and set the coffeemaker up, I settle in front of the computer to see what's happening new on Ravelry (a knitters paradise) here's where it all started!Hours later I am still sitting here in front of the computer setting up a blogger account...coffeepot empty & I'm
