Update on my knitting

Well at the moment i have jsut one project i am working on...several projects on the Needles... but i am only working on one.... a friend of mine is scheduled for a C section end of next month, so i am knitting a hat fro her precious lil boy... and then i may even attempt some lil booties...not sure.. DPNs still scare me! Unfortuantely i do not havea picture... but i will post one when the prject is finished... hopefully by tonight... hat's don't take that long especially for babies!

Only 2 more days

Well, My ALL time favorite movie is Halloween! 1& 2.... i consider them the same movie since 2 picks up right at the end of one..... and I LOVE the Movies i've seen done by Rob Zombie ( House of 1000 Corpses & Devil's Rejects) So when i heard he was coming out with a new Halloween movie.... i was SUPER excited! But then the bad news.... it was actually a remake of #1 sort of.... BUMMER, i HATE remakes! Then i found a streaming Video of the movie online... i watched a bit of it..... LOVED IT! but i stopped, because i can't wait to t watch it with my husband! So needless to say i am back to SUPER EXCITED! Even though i am petrified of Michael Myers...i CAN NOT wait to go see the Movie!

Coming to an end

Yup, Summer is coming to an end... Am I ready? sort of.... I am ready for my son to be going back to school... it's one less child roaming the house... one less instigator of trouble! But on the other hand i love the Summer weather, granted maybe not the heat waves we've been getting! Jr could really use some more new clothes for school...mostly pants... but hey most of September is now warm enough that he can wear shorts.... never use to be that way here in New Jersey, buit it has been the last couple years. We stil have a bit of summer reading to catch up on, but he did all the required reading.... ONLY 3 books were required, when they had a whole 3 months off... but over Spring Break when they had 5 days off, 5 books were required.... is this ridiculous to anyone else?? So far he has read 6... and he is sitting outside as i type reading to his brother and sister as the draw.... He also needs to get back to school to work on his speech! His teacher is gonna hate me, we really didn't work on it much at all this summer. For the most part he is ready to go back.

New Tags I made

Here are a few new name taggies i made in Paint Shop Pro..... i found this one tutorial and loved it so much that i used it to make 4 different taggies!

Some Soap Sacks

Firdst 2 pictures are a soap sack i knit from the book Spa & Bath Sets to Knit.... it was a simple knit... 2 sittings would have been one if the first wasn't in the car while driving through a safari at the local amusement park!

the second set is a soap sack i knit up on my own... I used a drop stitch but it doesn't really show in the pictures! LOL i use a pill bottle to mdel them instead of soap!

have Your Cake & Eat It TOO!!

I finally taught myself to make icing roses...actually a customer at the store taught me... I just finally put the knowledge to use. The top cake was a special order fro last week, the Last cake was for the week before.... I think i am getting better! At the least more creative.... Once winter strats i am gonna see if my boss is still willing to pay for me to take the Wilton Cake classes!I will be taking my camera to work with me from now on to photograph my cakes!

A Wonderful Gift!

Well, my husband's (Norm) Grandmother(Norma) was nice enough to gift me with a bunch of knitting needles she had laying around.... those are the pictures.. sorry about the mess behind them on my desk... but i was givin the following needles.

Size 8~~Gold~~Copper

AND 1 size G Crochetr Hook!

And now she said at Christmas when they go into the attic, she will pull out all her old Knitting pattern books! I am SOOOO excited...she went on and on about how i probably wouldn't want them, because the styles are old, and how knitting has probably changed... ALL THE MORE reason i want them!
