I thought it had been several weeks since I had posted. But it has been only 8 days. I have been so busy with job hunting, I have not had the best of luck lately. I have been hearing that I am over qualified. And I am pretty much, but that does not mean that I do not have bills to pay. Anyhoo, I went to the local Jo-Ann's the other day and I saw some yarn that I knew would be perfect for some sweaters for my two babies. Check it out.
I just love it, it is a superwash yarn which is super important for kids, and I bought it for $1.50 a ball, and it is softer that a thick bath towel. I can not wait to knit this up and put it on my kids. Every time my son sees it he throws a fit because he can't keep it and it is so soft. Well, I am getting ready to take a nice hot bath and do some feminine primping, (eyebrows, legs, etc.) So, I will get off of here to go torture myself. Type at you later;)

Too fast!
Time is passing by so fast that I don't really have the time to post as frequently as I like. I have been trying so hard to get a job. I made some stitch markers the other day for a project that I ripped out three times, yes three. I made them to be bright, but I noticed that they are all copper colored and that one of them has a three leaf clover bead in the middle of it. It reminds me of an Irish lady named Pat. I think that I might give them to her because they are obviously not very good luck for me because then I wouldn't have ripped out the sweater three times. No loss. You live and learn. Here is a picture, I will post more pictures later of the other stitch markers that I have made over time, and maybe some of the jewelry.

sweater #?
Okay, I have a minor obsession making baby sweaters, but it is only because they take so little spare time. I have been working on one for my friend Jessica's little boy, and it will replace the one he grew out of from last year. (The red one with the orange stripes.)I think that blue is a good boy color, but I thought that just blue would be too plain. I like this color, even though the yarn itself is very ACRYLIC. If someone made this yarn in an affordable alternative, I would probably buy it. On the other hand, I was thinking about selling stitch markers. I have some pearls that are very pretty, and some periodot, and some other type of beads. I am not sure whether or not to try maybe an etsy store or what, but I will think about it. On the dating front, Mr. Dreamy has me pretty intimidated, and I usually do not get intimidated by men of any kind. I really like him, but he thinks that I am married in the together sense of the word. I am legally still married, but I am separated, and have been for almost 2 years. I just don't know how to bring it up without seeming obvious, but maybe I need to be who knows. Anyhow, here is a picture, and there will be more to follow, I did try knitting a little bolero sweater, or a shrug, but I messed up three times. The first time was right, it just didn't look right until I tried twice more. Duh.
