"Sing a song of winter,
of frosty clouds in the air!
Sing a song of snowflakes falling everywhere."

The Snowman melteth......

Finished! Finally....
The Scarf!

Knitting: Finally finished the scarf today. Even weaved in ends. It is only 56" long not 60" but DH likes it. Now to make a hat to go w/it and that is one gift done for Christmas. Also finished another Baby Bootie (still need to sew it together though). DM's sock has a heel and I am working on the gussets. This sock has had to be frogged back numerous times- this last time was because there was a great gaping hole before the instep. Not good, so ripped back 8 rows. Now my left bicep and wrist are sore... so no more knitting tonight.

DH brought home a co-workers shirt for me to mend. After ripping out the sleeve, realized that the whole cuff had to be removed, the shirt sleeve requires trimming before the cuff can be put back on. Tomorrow's project. Hopefully it goes back together pretty easily and I can get some money for doing this. I need to find a way to make $120.00 worth of items each week, then life would be very good.

Bumpkin's is getting so big. Today at Safeway, she told me that we were forgetting somepin. The somepin turned out to be juice... not just any juice either. Pink juice. So now we have a gallon of pink Tampico in our fridge (it is cheaper than buying a whole bunch of Crystal lights).

Weather: snow... and now I guess it is raining. (internet connection is very sporadic).

Tuesdays strange stuff

And what is this?
Princess and Kazul no fair helping!






Knitting: Finished leg one of Bumpkins leggings.

The best cold/cough syrup is strong lemon tea, honey and a touch of rum. Tastes bad- but you don't cough as much. Some of the best remedies are the old ones.

I am off to work after posting/uploading image. DH swapped my tires over this am- yeah I have studs on my car now. Princess bought a car yesterday- a Mazda Protege. She is excited- yeah she has a car after not having one for several months.

Caillou today is visiting a yarn shop! With sheep, spinning wheel and lots of wool!

Strange stuff Tuesday: And because costumes are needed by Saturday- you can be some flying spagetti?

TGIF?

This is what I came home to. We had a massive snowstorm while I was at work.






I saw this bug crawling across the snow.


Knitting: did frog 3 more rows on Bumpkins leggings while at work yesterday. Also cut out a bathrobe for her Christmas doll's wardrobe. I am hoping to sew it together tonight- then give it to DM to see if it will fit the doll. Don't want to make a huge wardrobe and then not have the stuff not fit.

I will be having a very short weekend. Basically Saturday is my only day off this week. I work Sunday 1-9, Monday night 6-9, and semi regular shift work starting Tuesday (3 9 and 10 hr days in a row!). I was so tired today- that I had a headache. Took a 10 min. snooze when I got home (as much snooze as I could w/Bumpkin's jumping on the bed, throwing books, giving me babies).

It has taken me almost 24 hrs. to write this post.

Late week catch up

Trying to post pics of what my yard looks like this am. Winter is definitely here. Pastor had to respond to an SOS pipe freezing call yesterday. And the zamboni guy at work is back- he wants to flood for ice. We have a probe that measures the ground temp. 6 inches down. Well that probe has to measure 20 degrees for a week before ice will hold.
DH just came home and said that this is a very heavy frost. Uh huh, frost has individual shapes? And Bumpkins doesn't like her snow boots- she says they hurt her feet. So to go shopping for snow boots. And am I ever thankful for my remote start- I can warm up my car from inside the house. Life is good sometimes.

I have no current Works in Progress - that is no progress made! I did cut out 2 patterns for Bumpkins, but every piece of material that I picked out was to small! And after measuring Bumpkins I discovered that she wears a 1/2. That is so small!

Last night at 2:30 Bumpkins woke up saying potty. So I took her, then at 3 again she said potty. I took her and asked if she had to go poop. She said no- but her voice was funny. Then she threw up all over me and the bathroom floor. YUCK! If I had turned a light on- I would have noticed what was going on. So no Daycare for her today. DH went to work at 7 and will be home by 11:30 so I can be at work at 12. Today is going to be a long day at work- I work until 9. And then tomorrow I have to be at work at 7 am.

update: there was snow this morning!
