Wow I haven't blogged in forever. Why? The one possible reader I might have had asks. Well I haven't done anything. Oh don't get me wrong I've been plenty busy, I just haven't done anything fibery. Except finally finish the damn Lil' red ridding hoodie. Yay me! That thing is finally done.


So lets see what else has been going on you ask. Well lots. I have been sick yet again and yes I have actually seen the Dr. If anyone knows me they know I so do not go to the Dr's so it must be bad right? Well they don't know. I'm turning into a radiological pin cushion. Maybe, just maybe before I go postal they will find out why I've been so sick and fix it. On top of that, and oh yeah like 4 more trips to NJ (my sister had another baby) I now have a very adorable nephew. My mom tried to burn the house down with a grease fire. Yup she caught a pan on fire 5 foot flames and all, and my step-dad decided the best way to handle it was to get it out of the house. So on the way out he tripped and sloshed flaming hot grease on his right arm and then fell in the living room. He's OK thankfully, 3rd degree burns all up his right arm and leg, and the rug was toast but all in all it could've been a lot worse. He is doing good his arm is healing so well and he was in good spirits about it. As good as can be expected. My mom took the kids outside when it all started so they were all OK. I was behind my step dad while all this happened so what do I do when I see the rug and paper towels and all on fire. That's right step on it. OK no big deal it will put out small flames. Yeah, yet again anyone who know me knows I live in flip flops. I know you don' t have to tell me how not smart that was I got 2ND degree burns on my foot. Not just my foot but the bottom of my foot. That is so uncomfortable. I know I'm dumb. Its OK we are all OK and except for some minor damage the house is too. Needless to say I have been run ragged helping mom clean as she can't get down on the floor to do it and then helping with everything else and taking care of step dad while mom worked. I haven't had a minute. On top of something being wrong with me and then running to do whatever I can to help them once I clean up after dinner and sit I'm out cold. So that's part of the reason why I haven't done a thing. Oh yeah and all this happened about a week after we finished moving, I still have my formal living room and craft room filled with boxes that need to be put away. Yeah sure. Hopefully things will calm down. I go for another test next week and school starts next week and step dad is doing good on his own now so maybe just maybe I can regain some normal.

I did finish the sweater, but really all I needed to do was the zipper bands and pockets so that was cheating. I have turned the heel on my 2ND jaywalker, and I crocheted some swiffer covers (quick Dr office projects:-) I'm thinking about making the Hallowig from knitty but I don't know if I have the energy right now to start something new. We'll see. That's about all for now, since I actually had some good knitting progress to share I figured I would blog. Once I know what's wrong with me and if I get out of this funk I will blog more then as well.

I'll leave you with Keat's 7th birthday pictures, and her first big girl 2 wheeler!



Sometimes if she wasn't this cute I'd kill her! But then she goes and makes a cute face like this and acts so sweet you have to smile. BTW we mastered potty training she is just finally mastering it but she can go days in big girl panties with no accidents! Yay Lana!


Have a Safe and Happy Labor Day!
