This is my journal, as a 37 year old mom of two, that tries to balance, family and every thing else, life trows at me.

Well I spent most of the day at the Dr. with Anika, she has a fracture on her heel bone, which means she is now sporting this beautiful cast on her foot, for the next 3 weeks. Good thing it happened now, instead of when we are going to Switzerland. Posted by Hello

What was I thinking?

I decided a while back to crochet a cardigan for a friend of mine. Well yesterday I decided I don't like to crochet, so I am going to knit it. Couldn't find a pattern I liked so I decided to make up my own. I started it after figuring out the pattern for 2hrs. I am making it in the fan pattern, so far it looks really nice and lazy just like I wanted it.
The bad thing is, my hands hurt after knitting for a long time. I really don't like that.

these are cute...

someone on a list I belong too, posted this pattern.

And man they are cute, I am thinking of making some for my kids and myself. Now that I think about it, my nephew could use some too.

Well another project to add to my list.

The "ugly" hat


This is Jayne Cobbs hat, worn in the cancelled tv series Firefly. I got my hubby the DVD set for Christmas and this hat showed up in one of the unaired episodes. I saw it and just thought wow that's a pretty ugly hat. But I have to knit it. So this is one of my next projects. I went to my local yarn shop and got some nice yarn. I have made one previously but the colors were not right and now my daughter likes it so it is hers. I will post a picture later.
oh and I got the picture from www.still-flying.net

first try


So here it is my first attempt at the Jayne hat. It doesn't look bad it's just the colors are not the way I would have liked them. So off to another try. Posted by Hello

The Journey begins

I decided today that I am going to have a blog. I've been reading some other blogs and got facinated with them. I hope you will enjoy it, I hope to write about my knitting mostly.
