My journal is 'friends only' so comment if you want to see inside my world! It is not that exciting but hey, its my LIFE and like to keep some things just between me and my friends.

If you wish to add me, go ahead but please comment so I know that you have and also let me know why you added me (where you found me, why you want to add, etc.!)! This entry is screened.

Thank you!!

i finished my washcloth i was knitting the other day. i made a mistake and slipped a stitch, but my granny said she'd take it anyway. it is a violet colourway, 50% cotton, 50% acrylic.



its been nice doing these, its allowed me to pick back up and start knitting again after the long hiatus due to my addiction to this book series!

I need to also update my yarn stash. i think if its not too terribly windy this afternoon (however judging by the way the trees outside my ofice are slanted, I'm not betting on it).. i may try to take some stash pictures. i want to totaly redo all my photos and i'm inspired by allison's!

okay so i'm still on a knitting hiatus. i'm really looking forward to getting back to my needles though. we have another swap upon us with malabrigo and that has got my needle sense tingling. i've got t finish that dishcloth i started and i need to get a few things made for upcoming birthdays/holidays. i think what i may do, since i'm still reading that series but i'm on the last published book, is to read one night, knit another. i'll try that tonight.

i just got my swap partner info and i'm going to go stalk!!

john just put 15 new yellow labs into our fish tank. he bought them off this girl in the city who only wanted 10 bucks for them - a freaking steal! our tank is now filled to the brim with lovely african cichlids!


Note: pic is not of our fish

i have woken up and have a stye in my eye. omg it fucking hurts. i get this maybe once every other year. i hadn't been doing the best job at makeup removal apparently.. guess i should pay better attention!

if only i could wear an eye patch to work.. damn i wish it was "talk like a pirate" day!

i hate it when i paint my fingernails and they end up with those little air bubblies in them.. ugh. i'm guessing its becausei put it on too thick or something, buti didn't think i did. oh well, i guess when they dry i'll try to just deal. or maye i need to wait longer between coats? you'd think having painted my nails hundreds upon hundreds of times i would know the secret.

i changed my layout a bit - well just changed the theme nothing more. i figured i'd go for a green bunny thing since we have both st. pat's and easter this month. lucky for me there was a theme for that! still a green bunny would have been cute too. lol

i haven't picked up needles since the end of february. i am so stuck into reading this book series (diana gabalond's outlander series) and ijust can't pull myself away from it. i'm hoping to learn how to make a hat this weekend with allison. not sure i will need it because the weather keeps warming up, but i'd like to know how to make one and this will be my first project for ME!

so where is this snow they promised me????
