what is wrong with me?

I swear I am so terrible at journalizing. Conner is only 10 months and walking now. I crocheted him a teddy using a pattern from the Lion Brand website. I used some old worsted brown yarn in my stash that I received from an elderly friend. It turned out so cute and Conner kisses his snout all the time. I would say he digs it...Meghan wants one know. In pink, of course.

OMG has it been 2 months!?!

Good lord almighty I can't believe it has been two friggin' months since may last post. Bad blogger! Well with Meghan out of school for the summer I think all I have time to do is argue with her and do laundry. She changes her clothes like everytime she gets done swimming and even though the clothes aren't dirty you can bet your bippy that they end up on the floor or in the dirty clothes basket. I hate doing laundry! It takes me forever and when I think I'm done there's another pile awaiting me.

On a happier note...Conner is trying to crawl. He gets his little legs up under him and moves them back and forth. He just hasn't figured out how to move his hands yet. He does this inchworm thing though where he get up on all fours then makes his arms go out from under him then does it again and again and he actually get places. Oh fuck...gonna hafta babyproof. Shit. My house is still a mess by the way. We need a dump truck to stop by.

On a crafty note I knitted my first washcloth. I love it. Not much else though other than tendin' to the little 'uns. Well, crap I have to go do some more fucking laundry!

On the homefront...

Well, not a damn thing is going on "on the homefront" other than my house is a mess and we think Conner is teething. He has been getting up 4 times at night for the past couple of weeks. So needless to say I'm exhausted and pretty much walk around like a zombie during the day. Hence, the messy house.

We are going to get some paint, hopefully, this weekend for the trim outside. It is in much needed repair. Also we are wanting to re-do the kitchen in kind of a fifties diner style. Going to go check out the antique mall and see what they have in the way of decor. Would love to get one of those old metal table and chairs to match like an old soda shop or sumthin'. I'm going to make some curtains out of that cute vintage look fabric I've been seeing everywhere. Want to get some that has pin-up girls or somethin' like that.

Finished the ponco...

Well, I finished my latest poncho and it is really cute and super bright! I'm working on some monster feet boots for my nephews. The pattern is soooo cute I just couldn't resist. I got it off the internet for free...something that I am all about. I need to start o some baby blankets. I have several friends that have either just had a baby or are due soon. Well, while Conner is asleep I better go get a shower!

out of yarn...CRAP!!!

Well, I ran out of yarn for Meghan's poncho, DAMMIT! I just bought the yarn on a whim and really didn't have the pattern in mind before I bought. Oh well, I will know better next time. Like I said before, I am an idiot...

The DOG

This is our dog Rocky...Well, we are is humans. He's the only dog in the world that lifts his hind leg to take a crap... But he is sweet and fearless(most of the time) A cat got in our backyard the other night and I think a war was waged by the sound of it. Rocky only came out of it with a scratch on his side. I have no idea what happened to the cat, but at least there was no kitty corpse in our yard the next day. He likes to bark...at everything and everyone. Did I mention he lifts his hind leg to crap? It is the funniest thing you ever did see! He is unique...

I'm an idiot...

Why don't I ever look to see if yarn has a dye lot? The Bikini pink yarn has one and boy are they different! oh well, I'm to poor to get all new yarn. Meghan's poncho will be sort of colorblocked I guess. Note to self: check for DYE LOTS YOU STUPID IDIOT!!! I have started knitting a wash cloth too and it is going pretty well. I knit too tight but otherwise it looks good.

On another note why do we have to continually pass around colds. Meghan had one, gave it to me, then Conner, now me again and Conner at the same time and Meghan is still coughing like a 30 year smoker! I think we are goin to stay home fo rEaster though. That'll be nice. Gas is to friggin' expensive anyway.

Well, I have to go catch up on laundry...yuck

Does anyone know how to stop a baby from growing?

Conner rolled over for the first time today!!! It is also his 4 month birthday today

This is what I'm working on now. Another poncho...this time a pattern for girls! 

Ich bin fertig! In other words I'm finished! Finally...This is the poncho for my daughter that is way to big. But it turned out cute and she loves it. 

forsythia in our backyard...ain't it purdy too? 

Purdy flowers... 

Holy Toledo...Fed Ex is ZIPPY!!!

Holy crap! I got my camera yesterday! Ordered it Friday and got it Monday! Sheesh that is too cool. The pic below was the very first one I took. Good camera! Very sharp pic and lots of cool features for the price. It was like $179.00! Now we need a printer! That might be awhile... maybe Mother's Day! Hehehe...

My sweet babies! 

New camera on its way!

Yippee! My new camera is on its way. I ordered it from good ol' newegg.com yesterday and it shipped yesterday! How friggin' cool is that. I cannot wait. I also ordered some knitting books... Stitch n' Bitch (I have heard so many good things about this book!), Knitting for Dummies, and one on spinning. I have always been intrigued by spinning. It always seemed like such a magical thing to me. I'd like to get the basics and go from there. I have so many things I want to do right now, I just don't know if I have the time it deserves.
