I've been bad!

Oh my gosh! It's been 6 weeks......... but, it's been crazy here....First, I am taking two classes toward my Masters'.. Just when I thought they could throw anymore nursing theory at me here's another class. The professor's cool......... the class hmm...typical format.... oh well, it's almost done now.... the other class family nursing theory...... has been interesting...... pretty cool. Oh and I got a new job..... I'm gonna be an ER nurse...... finally, after 10 years of having to suck some things up.... I get a break. Yippee!!! I really am excited! And I am co-coordinating (at least I think I am) the freezer-five road race that happens nearby on New Years' Day www.cmsrun.org. Busy, huh??? I can exhaust you further but, no need!

Knitting wise...still got the City cardi (Fall knitscene) going, got the charade socks going.... In between I knitted a london beanie for one of my boys and a shrug from knit daily in arrgghhhhh!!!! crochet done.....

I also got a new spinning wheel..... it's real pretty.......... came from Holland. It was easy to put together..... It's been a bit tempermental though to spin with.... But, it's settling.

Hmm...have you all ever had spaghetti pie??? I made some last week....and let me tell you.. yum....yumm!

here's the link......real food for real people


so, I think that's enough for now....... I gotta go clean the house and get to work on my nursing concept project.... I think I'll up load it after I am done.... so you all can see my level of intelligence......tee hee!!! buh-bye!

It's 90 degrees and..............

Hey!

I've done something completely. oh I don't know........... crazy???? How about I'll let you fill in the blank (_______________________). I hope that was enough room. Well, I have decided to go back for my Masters'. I am taking two courses this semester Family Nursing Theory and Nursing Theory. This is on top of working 36 hours per week, managing the lives of the 5 remaining children (the other two are on their own), trying to have a life w/ the bf, running and of course knitting/ spinning. ARRGGHHHH!

WIP's......... Charade socks being knit of Brown Sheep sock yarn..... and a london beanie w/ some worsted super wash.

FO's......... I spun some peachy/ amber colored wool and designed a dog sweater for my Dutchie.......... It came out pretty good! When it gets cooler (and not 90 degrees in late September) I will post some pics.

Anyway, I guess that's about all.......... Oh I went to the VT. S&W. It was fun took a workshop on adding novelty stuff in with fiber while spinning. I realized I got a long way to go spinning wise before I can be consistent, but I'm getting there.

Cardi from Fall Knitscene in progress

Cardi from Fall Knitscene in progress
This cardi is coming out nicely, if I can say so myself. They use a bright, almost kelly green yarn in the mag issue, the color of the Debbie Bliss yarn I have is like a pumpkin color. I really like it! The pattern itself is easy to memorize.

FUN STUFF!

Just for kicks and giggles
