Oh dear....

If you're squeamish, don't look at the following photos. They're not pretty.....





I found this is my living room. I think it's a nose.....or at least... WAS a nose. Off to the distance is the rest of the body.


Here's the full scene... Again, you better have a strong stomach...

Off the the left is the little brown bow the victim was wearing. And you can see the stuffing has been removed and tossed about. There was more stuffing on the other side of the room too.

Here's the close up of the damage. The eyes were not found. Soon after these pictures were taken the murderer returned to the scene of the crime and removed the body. Thankfully, we were able to catch her with the body.


Case Closed.

Meh.

I feel better today. Better. Not well. But better.

Tomorrow is my mostly day off. Mostly because I have to volunteer at a women's event to drum up business. GAO! I hate doing stuff for free. This event is not going to bring people in. That's all I have to say about that. :P

I also get to go drink coffee with Tonia, and I plan on squeezing her baby. Because he's cute.

As far as knitting goes, I cleaned out the stuff that's been sitting around, and I'm working on finishing a couple small things, like my scarves that have been waiting for too long. I also tossed a ugly sweater that I will never finish. Go me. Live lighter and all that.

I'm putting in an order for yarn with Nic. Yeah yarn. I can do my fair isle sweater now. :) Go me. I'm so excited.

I supported my LYS today. Even if they don't have eveything I want. I bought a Dale of Norway pattern book. I want to make many many things out of this book.
I'm thinking of doing a Knit Along with the Sexy Knitters, so I might just order some yarn to make something cute out of this book. We'll see how the paycheck looks on Friday. Must pay bills before one buys yarn.

Ack!

Why am I up so late? Who knows. I'm sick and I feel like poo and I really want to be sleeping. But I can't.

I think something is seriously wrong with me. I have to be at work from 10 am to 8 pm tomorrow. yea. Right. That's going to happen. Now just to decide. Do I skip training? Go in for a little while? Hit part of training and take the facial I know is already on the books?

Ugh. At least I'm not throwing up or coughing up a lung. That kind of sick sucks. At least I got some knitting done. But I'm all out of meds now. I may have to leave the house tomorrow.

Sick sick sick

I'm sick with ick.

But, that means I get to knit. So I finally finished both of those doggie coats I was making. The only things I need are two more buttons. I either lost two or miscounted. Each coat requires three buttons. I can only find four. Oh poo. I need to run and pick up size 1 knitting needles anyway. So it's not a huge deal. But I'm home sick and can't leave the house, so I guess I'll do that tomorrow before my shift. Now I can't decide what to work on. I should keep knitting away on my hubbies socks. Those have been sitting for awhile. I'm still working on turning the heel on the first one. :P But I really want to start knitting with the new genitive's yarn that came in the mail. I want to start Merey's diaper bag soon. The faster I get it done with the better. Then I can use that to hold all the little baby sized things I want to knit. :)

Yeah for new yarn!

As we speak some new yarn is on it's way to my door. Yarn for socks and yarn for Merey's diaper bag. I am very excited.

Hey Nic, I need yarn advice. Have you ever used Jamieson & Smith Shetland wool yarn? I'm think of using it for a fair isle vest I'd like to knit. They have such lovely colors. Any thoughts? Or suggestions? The vest I picked out is from vogue knitting winter, anniversary special... Um... 4 years ago? I don't know for sure. It's just a simple vest. Lets' put it that way. I want to do it in lovely cholocate brown, with pinks, yellows or oranges for the pattern part. It's pretty in my head! Pretty I say.

Now, but to cleaning the house. Hoepfully I'll finish soon so I can knit. Of course if I won't spend all my free time shopping online, I'd have much more knitting done.

So I just found out the Knitpicks dropped some of their prices on yarn. That's right. DROPPED their prices. So, of course I need to buy yarn.. Right now I've got enough yarn to choke...I don't know. A Brontosaurus. So do I really need more yarn? Probaly not. I've picked out eough yarn to make 8 pairs of socks. (that's 16 balls of yarn folks) That really doesn't help the resolution I made to myself awhile back. Buy yarn for projects. Big projects. Like sweaters. Not scarves or socks. See, if I spend 47 dollars, I want to be able to make something BIG! Not 8 pairs of socks. Eight!

Oh well. Maybe I'll get some yarn for socks, and then yarn to make a felted bag for Merey. Because she needs one. Because she got the preggo bug too.

Hmm... Just can't decide. Maybe I should wait until I get my paycheck, since this week has been very slow, and I've only made 7 dollars in tips. :P

Hmm again...
