Snow? Again?

Okay. This isn't funny anymore. I'm seriously sick of winter. I think I should pack up the doggies and my hubby and move south.

Anyway, so my plan for a snowy Saturday was as follows:
Stay in house
Watch movies
Eat Cookies

Good day huh?

I also uploaded 3 tubs of yarn on ravelry. My stash is scary. Seriously. It's out of control. I still have more to post, but, the more to post part isn't getting smaller and smaller.

Erm...

Maybe there is something to this nesting thing. I didn't take a before, but here's a after.


Yeah...

Oh, and if anyone can guess what color that Manic Panic is.. you get a cookie. :) It's totally going on my head on Monday. Responsible adult? Yes. Yes I am. Responsible adult not currently working (or employable) who's scared of turning into a soccer mom. That's me!

I've been accused of nesting.

But I'd like to think of it as getting to things that have been put off for way too long, now that I've got the time. (and before the baby comes.)

I've got my craft room cleaned. Yay! Also, I turned the hallway linen closet from the "closet of shame" back to the "hallway linen closet."

See, I'm forgetful. And I have a dog that loves yarn. Sometimes I forget to put away the knitting I'm working on before I go to bed. And then, he finds it the next day, and unravels it everywhere. I cry, and pick it up and put it in the closet until I can deal with it. I've got many a project stalled for that very reason. Want a list?? My Rhiannon socks. Morale builders. The pink and yellow socks. Oh, and as of lately, my Appletini socks and my Husband's jitterbug socks. I've also got my swatch from Enny's Vest to deal with. Someday. Not today.

Anyway. I took the yarn, and untangled it, balled it up with my winder, and I'm good to go. Well, all except the vest and the pink and yellow socks. The socks are upstairs, and was too lazy to bring them downstairs to work on.

Anyway, I put yarn away, and put projects together. And I started a tub that I'm calling "the UFO box of SHAME!" for projects that have been sitting way way too long. I cleaned. I frogged. I organized. I feel good. I also searched Ravelry and found some patterns that will work with the yarn I have. I loves ravelry.

Now, I hurt. But I blame that on the yard work I did yesterday, not so much on the yarn. Yarn can't ever be at fault.

Monday Monday

My Monday has been... well... not as dreaded as they have in the past. Well, except for that dentist appointment I went to this morning. I had been well over a *cough* year and a half since I went in for a cleaning, and since my insurance ends on the 30th, I thought I should go. Good news, no cavities. Bad news, my teeth STILL hurt. ow ow ow. So yeah. Puttered around the house today. Did laundry, and the dishes and took a 3 hour nap. Because I could. :)

On the knitting front I have the toe to finish on my socks I started last weekend. I'm using Appletini from Scout's swag and the embossed leaves pattern and I loves it. Hopefully I shall finish the toe and start on the second sock. I'd like to get them done, so I can work on some older knits, like Maya's sweater. I want to cast on for a baby blanket for my little seamonkey, but I'm waiting until May 1 to do that, and I'd like to be guilt free and maybe (please god?) have Maya's sweater done by then. I can dream, can't I?

Almost Famous!

Dude. I made it on Franklins blog. And I'm right next to Lucy Neatby! Dude.

Yay! Done!

Ignore the goofy face. I think I must always look like that. :)
Me and my almost 34 week belly and a completed Mommy Snug. So happy.

Went to yarnover. Met Franklin. OMG. He is so sweet and cute, I just wanted to put him in my pocket and take him home with me. Now, I am all yarned out. I think I need a nap.

Hells to the Yeah.

I finished my Mommy Snug. Hells yeah. Okay, So I wanted it done my the 6th, and I just had to sew one sleeve to the body, attached the buttons, weave in the ends, and then do the neckline. And... well... I quit. Because I am a quitter. :)

So, I sat down and did it today, because then I can wear it tomorrow when I go see Franklin at the Yarnery. At least I'm pretty sure that's where he's going to be. Damn, I better make sure, since I am the driver and what not. Oh... double damn. He IS at Yarnover. Not the Yarnery. Good thing I checked...Ack! NOw I fear for my wallet. :)

I read on the ravelry that someone finished the neck edge with an i-cord bind off, and I totally stole that idea. I used the handy tutorial off of Knitty. I loves me some i-cord. Loves.

So, now that I'm unemployed (long story) I find I have time to do all the stuff I never did have time for before. Who knew? :) Not only have I spent time looking for a job, I also have gotten a butt load of cleaning and organizing done. So nice. I might just be ready for this baby after all. After lunch I'm going to head over to the temp agency to update my resume. Then.. who knows. Knitting? I think we're going out to eat tonight because it's my SIL birthday. Woo! No cooking tonight.

ugh. Still stressed out about the whole ordeal, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel I guess. I'm still freaked out about my insurance, but we'll figure something out...hopefully sooner rather than later.
