I missed a day so much for nanoblopo whatever... My tush is being kicked right now in a bunch of different directions so posting daily just isn't possible ( and posting to say I am alove and tired would get boring for you). This does not mean I am gonna post every 2 months I think I just need a schedule. For today clickey here for a cute love story ( I am a sucker for a cute story ...

I think I may be a cheater... I just semi panicked because I didn't post today. As I haven't gone to sleep yet and it is still the 11th on the west coast I think this should count... Went shopping for a new digi cam today and may have found something just need to read a few more reviews ( I am such a crazy I have to read every review.)

I made soap today, Really pretty and yummy smelling soap. It's chamomile with oats inside. This was such fun I definately am gonna be doing this again. This is going to be the favor for my sisters shower it should be really cute!!!

Posting everyday is hard... I am not that interesting a person. No seriously. Though the one thing I have to say is I have been drooling non stop over Oblique I have even contemplated a yarn sub as the angora / mohair will kill me. For a non sweater knitter I have been coveting / knitting a lot of sweaters. Any suggestions about yarn or more topics let me know in the comments....

subtitled... Teachers are nice.
Teachers convention was actually quite fun. We stayed in a little hotel with a jacuzzi (amazing). the convention itself was pretty cool got to meet lots of people including more then a few knitters one of whom was wearing a most fabulous sweater of her own making (no I didn't take a pic I seemed to develop camnesia in its presence) Made some progress on the Minimalist cardigan. The highlight of my day was seeing the knitty extra surprises let me just say the next sweater this non sweater knitter is making is Oblique simply amazing though I must find a sub for that yarn I think the mohair will make me choke, while you are over there look at Miriam's new lacy wrap totally fab. The old queue is getting scary.

meet me tonight in Atlantic City... Taking off for a day or two for teachers convention ( I think this is a Jersey thing ). Should be some excellent R&R time (oh and k for knitting since I don't gamble). Hopefully I'll have tons of progress to show you tomorrow.

soap

Looking into making soap logs or maybe bath bombs anyone have any experience making this kind of stuff?? I have done the little melt and mold soaps but thats about it, so hopefully someone has some tips for me!!

nov. 6 (6/31)

Not much to say today... the sis and I decided to play a bit so we baked cookies (which did notlive long enough to see a camera I am sorry to say.) While we were doing this I realize how much fun we do have together (esp. without the wedding) I sometimes forget when she went from being an annoying little sister to this cool chick .... just thought I would put this out there ... Thats all for now. More tomorrow.

knitted home goods

Was reading through my bloglines and saw on one of my favorite design blogs (yes in a addition to the obsessive knitting thing I am obsessed with all things design) . So knitted poufs (floor cushions) and ginormous swatches used as rugs too cool click here to see them... More Later...

I have spent this evening planning my sisters bridal shower. Suffice to say if it were me I'd elope. That is all for now.

nov. 4 (4/31)

As I needed a sick day activity I spent the day making pumpkin butter. This was not the first time I've made the butter but it is the first time I've tried "canning", I'm exhausted. Oh and the kitchen is kind of a mess. More tomorrow...

nov. 3 (3/31)

Rant ahead... read with caution. People who are sick should not come and visit people who have recently come out of the hospital. Just a hunch but usually thats something that weakens ones immune system. Suffice to say someone did that to us (my grandma was recently discharged post hip surgery , yes she is better) . My whole family is now sick with some cold-ish bug!! yuck. On the plus side My cardigan has grown immensely since this photo taken this morning and there have been plenty of good movies on today. Here's to hoping my head doesn't float off (would clink tea cups with someone but I don't wanna pass this any further).

ETA... I just did this whole post from flickr thing and well it totally rocks!! Have I been under a rock for awhile or is this a new feature???

After just over two months silence I'm back. There may not have been blogging but there has been knitting and there are definitely some finished objects waiting for their photo shoot (oh yes because I have also adopted a case of camnesia). I decided to recharge the old blogging batteries by joining NaBloPoMo. For material I joined NaKniSweMo, I am knitting the Minimalist sweater(rav link). The plan is to buy some yarn tonight at Snb (wow have I missed you ladies). Tune in tommorrow for the next post... Same time same channel.
