sock fever...

has broken out at my house. I am knitting socks and loving it. Michael's had Moda Dea Sassy Stripe on clearance so I bought some for me and dh. My socks are done and I might say they look great, I am working on Steve's now. I also made Anika some fingerless mitts, she wanted to ride her bike with the leftovers from my socks.
I hope I have enough left to make Lars some socks to match his daddys.

I also hope I get my butt out of the house tomorrow morning and go swim, I need to exercise again so I can wear that jacket for Christmas, but that's a story for another blog.

Miss Claudia,you sound like a mouse...

is what one of my children at children's church said. You squeek when you talk. I thought that was funny cause, yes he was right. My voice is coming and going like trains at a trainstation. It actually is funny to listen to me talk. So after church, I went over to my friend and got some tequila to drink with warm tea, cause that's what my choirdirector recommended. hahaha Gotta love that.
Anyways, I went to Michaels last night and bought some sock yarn, finished one sock this afternoon and unraveled it, cause I did not like it. So I am starting all over again, but first I think I am going to take a nap, I am feeling a little sleepy.

Another friday...

the weather doesn't really know what it is going to do. It's windy, humid and looks like it is going to rain any minute. I started on a sweater Jacket for Lars yesterday, not sure if I like it or not. Oh well. I also started to sew Anika's Barbie Dress, my mom gave me a pattern and fabric, she bought. She thought she will never finish the dress so I should make it for Anika. Well it has been a year since Mom gave it to me.
So that is my project for today, sewing on the dress, doing laundry, and this afternoon, go and visit my dear friend Tracy.
Tonight, we are having happy hour at a neighbors, which is going to be nice.

is it summer yet????

Nothing I really wanna know, but I couldn't think of another title. So here is a picture of Anika's Cardican, I did make it up as I went along, I do need to block the front a bit better, but other than that, I really like it. I also knitted some socks, first off, I got really mad at myself, for not reading the label when I bought wool in Switzerland, cause now I only have one red sock for myself. I also made a pair for multicolord socks for Anika. I really like that Bernat sock yarn. This morning I went to Hobby Lobby, and got more Sugar'n Cream yarn for another tanktop for Anika. I also got some Red Hart Multicolor to make a Jacket or Sweater for Lars for fall. Don't know yet what I really wanna make with it. I also have some sewing projects, one is a summer dress for Anika, and then I am going to make a dress for a friend of mine and a dress for me.
As you guys can see never a dull moment in my life. *wink

no more blaah...

I am feeling so much better these days. The house is still a mess, but hey I am working on it.
Anika's Cardigan is getting there, I hope to finish the second sleeve today, and sew it together, also I need to make the buttonholes and the collar, which is going to be rolled. (all stockinette stitch)
Tomorrow, I need to go and get some cute buttons for it.

I had a real fun experience today. I have lost 14lb. since January and was wondering if I can fit in a skirt I got last year. Well it is a little tight but I was able to zip it. And I also fit in the pants I started to sew last year and put them aside cause they so did not fit. So I have a sewing project to finish now. I am excited and this is sure a kick in the fanny to keep going.

Woke up...

this morning and felt a little better, at least today I can look down and don't feel like my eyeballs pop out. Also my stomach feels better, I am so ready for this crap to be over.
Went this morning to sign up Anika for Kindergarten. *sniffles* my baby is going to school. She is so ready. School starts this year on August 16th which was my Dad's birthday and is our Anniversary.
Anyways, trying to get the house in order and then sit my fanny on the couch and work on the Cardigan for Anika.

It is may...

and I feel like crap. Allergies or something, I had a headache all day and can't get rid of it, so I am about to go to bed. I did work on Anika's Cardigan, which again I am making up the pattern as I go, which seems to become the norm in my knitting lately. I should write stuff down, but I never do.
We'll see maybe I finally will. I knitted the two fronts over the weekend, and half of the back today, cause knitting seemed tolerable. But now I am off to bed.
