New House

Well it looks like we are gonna get our home, FINALLY. We are going to the county tomorrow to get a leteer of approval to have the house on the parents property and then all we need to do is sign the paperwork. AGH what and ordeal. But it will be worth it. We will finally be on our own. Dad is helping me get our finances together and it really looks good on paper!!! Its a miracle. We can't wait to have lil d in his very own room.WOHOO!!
On the knitting front still working on a blanket for lil d for his new room. just squares of all different stuff knitted together. Still working on the corset-t it slow going very tedious. And good intentions and all I've slacked off on the roses for the womens league, OOPS. But I've picked out a fuzzy yarn for the cancer survivors get away and hope to get started on it very soon. Been plugging away on the dishcloths too. I think I'm gonna make a giant one as a bib for one of the uncles. So far we haven't killed each other although its come close. They are very set in their ways. AGH!
I think I need to work on some relaxation therapy thats my third outburst just in this post. Oh well gotta get

Hey I found the cutest pattern for a rose with small leaves and am going to knit up a bunch (like thirty). In purple no less. I went to the Las Vegas Womens Club this last week. And next months theme is to colect for womens shelters. For women and children surviving abuse. The theme color is purple. So I thought " Why not make these for the ladies in the group. They are so nice and very supportive of the community. I brought some boxes from Habitat for Humanity and several took them home to start collecting for them. Wow What a neat group. Tehy just bought dictionaries for the elementary schools. They offer scholarships to the local colleges. I am the youngest member for sure, there is even this one gal 90 yrs old. Shes amazing. I guess you can tell I'm pretty excited about this.
So on the knitting front still working on the corset -t about 1/3 done slow going it gets knid of tedious. This part of the pattern is just ribbing. K2P2. Also still working on small dishcloth size cloths with the letteres of LILD's name on it and looking for cute pics to fill in the extra blocks. I'm doing it in dark and medium blue acrylic for the boy. Its gonna need to be washed frequently. And of course there is the Dishcloth-KAL, currently on row 17 waiting for thext set of rows. This one I'm doing in "daisy ombre" its a pretty lacy thing. Probably will never see a dish. But oh well. I think the next ones I do will be in colors for our new kitchen. Yes we are waiting for the final approval on our new house. We can't wait. Just waiting for the road to dry out enough so we can get the trailer down it to trade in at the dealer. What stress. Wait Wait Wait. agh I'm going nuts. Took my mom and her friend to see it they both thought it was perfect for us. Its a small 3 bed,2 bath. We are gonna build a dining nook for the kitchen and eventually build on to it. Lild has allready decided how to do his room.
I am probably gonna get a second job here for the winter. The job I'm at now I am only getting 24 hrs. So I've gotta get some more. I spoke with one of the gals from the Womens group and she gave me her daughters phone number. I'm gonna see the owner of a home health co here in town in the after noon, after I sleep a little. The usually only work MON- FRI 8-5. Who knows this might be a new adventure for me. Of course I couldn't do the whole day but if I could pick up a few patients here and there throughout the week while Lild is in school. And Big D at work. It just might work. So I guess I had better sign out :)

Well its been an interesting week. I missed work on Monday due to a bad rain storm, 4 1/2 inches in an hour and a half !!!! What a crazy storm the the parents got here with the uncles. AGH!! CRAZY.

Well I finshed the September KAL It turned out so pretty. I also just whipped up the Swish with a twist Although I did it with a pretty ombre of pinks/reds/blues (FROM MY COLOR swap secret pal and it didn't turn out like I had pictured it. I think the ombre is too busy that its hard to focus on the shapes of the cables. Oh well its cute any way.

My parents are on their way with the two uncles ! They will be here tomorrow afternoon. I called my mom and they were having a "super" time in a motel with them(I hope they don't kill each other) Oh well thing should settle down once they all get home (yeah right) But we will survie and its the best thing for them. My Grandpa would be so proud. Of them for acctually coming and us for bringing them. We are probably gonna need alot of prayers. Big D has been working his but off cleaning and making space in the barn and getting there bed linens ready. What a trooper the house is spotless. (for now)

Well working on the September dishcloth KAL . Its a cute leaf. I might dye some other yarn to make the colors I need to make some more in fall colors. It should be interesting. We are doing well Wiating for Bill and John to come and live with us( my grandpas brothers) They are both in their 70's. Two hermet bachelors. It should be very interesting... We'll see how it goes sharing a bathroom with them. I though it was bad taking care of the one my two guys are in now add two more. oh golly. Well gotta get. Pics to post soon of current WIPS. :)

Well I have deleted all the personal pics from my blog. So now its just gonna be knitting/sewing. All kniting/sewing all the time. Just an update still working on corset-t knit two purl two. All ribbing for the whole body. I'll probably try to put some kind of lace border to the bottom edge. Also still working on the aug mid month dishcloth. Still have in the bag a pattern and yarn for a small knitted purse.
