I did not even know this page still existed. I live in Frisco for a year and a half now. I still have the old Denison house but it is almost done and ready to sell. Only a few minor details left. It sure looks different than the old pictures here back in 2008. The trees are much bigger, all the rooms are painted different and the stuff and junk and furniture are at my new house except a couch, chair and that old king waterbed. I may never be able to get rid of that. LOL I have changed too. I am on my way to a healthier lifestyle and have lost 45 pounds and have about that much or more to still go. Different eating and exercise habits for sure. Having two houses for one makes for a bunch of grass mowing. Ugh. When I am down to one house I will focus more on weight training the proper way instead.<br />
I still knit, loom knit, crochet and machine embroider. Not as much sewing right now but I am getting back into that again too. I do not have a dedicated sewing area since my sons moved in with me. Tim moved out and slowly will take his stuff too (I hope). He took his cat tonight and boy is it quiet, even though Daniel is still here.<br />
I will have to start posting photos again of things I make. I still make stuff, I just forget to photograph them. (I need a new photo of myself too) :-)<br />
See you on the flip side.jpirklehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01082085427434578189noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6803635117672690546.post-25866584406165279112013-06-17T15:38:00.001-05:002013-06-17T15:38:40.803-05:00Long time no blogI have been remiss in blogging. I have been to busy to even look at a computer since many of you know my husband Rex died in January 2013. I am starting a new chapter in my life and have moved to Frisco. I still own the Denison house until repairs can be made and the last of our 31 years of stuff can be moved or sold. I still love knitting and loom knitting and hope to get back to all this real soon too. In the meantime I am making house repairs at two houses now. Hopefully soon it will be only one or even none eventually. I hope to post some pictures soon.jpirklehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01082085427434578189noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6803635117672690546.post-79905624224898490512011-07-12T18:18:00.003-05:002011-07-12T18:22:16.599-05:00loom knit items<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvAMyWuUbwdM9UnHuve_3us2FCQAhwseFjKDgJtWbQJbMagq53fptRdWhu_TYH57UEG5918h9flKZs-GKeIs_5tIhVavNOUde2YKbBxjLcZBZEqPQF4kDd3aiVJ6XqVr68YWDaAhaY/s1600/loom+knit+007.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 256px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvAMyWuUbwdM9UnHuve_3us2FCQAhwseFjKDgJtWbQJbMagq53fptRdWhu_TYH57UEG5918h9flKZs-GKeIs_5tIhVavNOUde2YKbBxjLcZBZEqPQF4kDd3aiVJ6XqVr68YWDaAhaY/s320/loom+knit+007.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5628609752183505122" border="0" /></a>These are items I have all loom knit.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-YvXIM8ulthAAn48MRmtc-t8TzM74ncIIxTsr76egDNOe6xitXvLdeMXmJi07vsTNdseshZdS3v8Jk1lBktSr2a2tiM6yr1H8RSP_kUeIkJkYSautEeFzL40i5n8ihFmlIyS7cZfa/s1600/loom+knit+005.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 256px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-YvXIM8ulthAAn48MRmtc-t8TzM74ncIIxTsr76egDNOe6xitXvLdeMXmJi07vsTNdseshZdS3v8Jk1lBktSr2a2tiM6yr1H8RSP_kUeIkJkYSautEeFzL40i5n8ihFmlIyS7cZfa/s320/loom+knit+005.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5628609748965184834" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEintIt_r9sAvdD6yxc6snQUDphgqHK0FN2SDCqGShblwScsrtOvw06dKmLbfB1Hnq7OlWxCDiC-K_sJmjIiIf2I777HEvF_udRAoNJjKKX6TcN29ddh-vfS9hckf1nxBMGiIo-gk9x8/s1600/loom+knit+004.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 256px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEintIt_r9sAvdD6yxc6snQUDphgqHK0FN2SDCqGShblwScsrtOvw06dKmLbfB1Hnq7OlWxCDiC-K_sJmjIiIf2I777HEvF_udRAoNJjKKX6TcN29ddh-vfS9hckf1nxBMGiIo-gk9x8/s320/loom+knit+004.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5628609741582811394" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjd2mwJU5s5dfb2GHssGg_j3bkWkt187ND54uxKdgBJfDfPg9HrulrCn5Fd-XHgDnV78I_v-Wv-EAlzlbknGH0-6QghEpXfRhTxgInU6KzLYJMjqur0pxzbnPtarLy6bAu2IfjLcfD2/s1600/loom+knit+003.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 256px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjd2mwJU5s5dfb2GHssGg_j3bkWkt187ND54uxKdgBJfDfPg9HrulrCn5Fd-XHgDnV78I_v-Wv-EAlzlbknGH0-6QghEpXfRhTxgInU6KzLYJMjqur0pxzbnPtarLy6bAu2IfjLcfD2/s320/loom+knit+003.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5628609740362356882" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgELB8F5hvF-UdKG7hJwrNWLk6jWTa6uG3RFNAYVruopEgrfKv76yQV5c9m1oD9nYXneQuuGpwTPfPg6-uuwbNsvdWBfqBZ4vmPxRvcblz1HLrp3Uqo2_2wZhI7Z5LIyHUberfCpkXX/s1600/loom+knit+010.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 256px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgELB8F5hvF-UdKG7hJwrNWLk6jWTa6uG3RFNAYVruopEgrfKv76yQV5c9m1oD9nYXneQuuGpwTPfPg6-uuwbNsvdWBfqBZ4vmPxRvcblz1HLrp3Uqo2_2wZhI7Z5LIyHUberfCpkXX/s320/loom+knit+010.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5628609761395159842" border="0" /></a>jpirklehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01082085427434578189noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6803635117672690546.post-66426389862606474232010-09-03T12:20:00.002-05:002010-09-03T12:29:14.818-05:00Lynn Markmans loomsI have a friend who also makes looms. She has been in business 8 years now making beautiful wood looms for sale. She is in California on a cute little farm. Here is a message from Lynn;<br /><br />Yip, I sell looms! My hubby, Steve, has many talents, does not make my looms! I have no idea, where that rumor started, lol!<br />Markman Farm looms are handmade, here in the USA, of quality oak. They are what I like to call, "functional art!" Heirloom quality, lightweight and a joy to knit with.In today's economy, buying Markman Looms is an excellent investment for many years of looming pleasure! And, the loom sales help support my loom man's family, my family and various charities. Sweet!Our website is changing over the next couple weeks! We'll post a new Holiday Pattern Contest, sale priced looms for our group Loom-Alongs, new patterns! Check us out at; www.markmanfarm.com My appreciation, gratitude, my thanks, to my customers! They inspire me!! <br />Looming Possibilities!<br />Lynn Markman<br />Celebrating 8 Loom Knitting Years Together!<br /><br />If you like to loom, take a look at her site and patterns. She has retreats at her farm once in a while too and they are fun to attend. I haven't been to one but know some who have. They ended up making a wonderful intarsia bag the last get together. She sells looms, kits and has patterns. Take a look, you won't be sorry.jpirklehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01082085427434578189noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6803635117672690546.post-73533992416304254142010-05-10T17:53:00.004-05:002010-05-10T23:17:53.629-05:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnFYY5yMRofRImO22-lShMTrYOoLVc4EswJOwoSE7ybdmrwx1Ee6gPx6W1f3pVhvx34zH-6nOqQR7Pv3ra5ReRU7Km8qCin1J67QKrjYchfjDYHll1MlINZ-OfqTsIQJ9Ns5nS640B/s1600/Image034.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 256px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnFYY5yMRofRImO22-lShMTrYOoLVc4EswJOwoSE7ybdmrwx1Ee6gPx6W1f3pVhvx34zH-6nOqQR7Pv3ra5ReRU7Km8qCin1J67QKrjYchfjDYHll1MlINZ-OfqTsIQJ9Ns5nS640B/s320/Image034.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469861210048337458" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhG_aMuytlnRIAPlPGVzMe5Xd2P1AkVsty5Q-uLCEe_dXrXWiNxHV7U77ZkCbZKwanGwhY-DXX8sS9NoqC6MahyUnwgU5n59l4UTZDXQmeJ2HjPov35AcNL2OohJY8A-Vlyv8BdpSIT/s1600/Image019.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 256px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhG_aMuytlnRIAPlPGVzMe5Xd2P1AkVsty5Q-uLCEe_dXrXWiNxHV7U77ZkCbZKwanGwhY-DXX8sS9NoqC6MahyUnwgU5n59l4UTZDXQmeJ2HjPov35AcNL2OohJY8A-Vlyv8BdpSIT/s320/Image019.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469861207284744690" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPq1k-7qmhhSswJ2MFX267yCa5tBuVP-ZqRi0SoPBI3YR6gxlfwsHZ9JRlOlIRfUh1OiOm-aHBf2ZOy28UobH4L0ABvIsPD9rHKiuRwcz1qGGeQ50XlFFLEqdHNCdXTdxVnZd2Mrha/s1600/Image033.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 256px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPq1k-7qmhhSswJ2MFX267yCa5tBuVP-ZqRi0SoPBI3YR6gxlfwsHZ9JRlOlIRfUh1OiOm-aHBf2ZOy28UobH4L0ABvIsPD9rHKiuRwcz1qGGeQ50XlFFLEqdHNCdXTdxVnZd2Mrha/s320/Image033.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469861201676195426" border="0" /></a><br />Wow, I just looked over this blog and the pictures. I want the clean kitchen back!! That Christmas looked nice too with that new TV. Now my house is messier than ever. I guess it is time for an intervention or go back full force with the Fly lady and cleaning list. I thought I was doing alright but looking back, this trouble with my back is making me lazy. Now I have a set goal. At least return to the 2008 pictures and try to improve even from that. This will take a bit of time and hopefully regain some energy.<br />I finished needle knitting my drop stitch scarf and my shawl. Here are pictures of the newest knit additions of mine.The bag Is Isela's little Lexi bag.<br />I'll post more pictures tomorrow, we had Tornado weather tonight and I got on here late. The two storms missed us; the second one just barely though. To close for comfort again.jpirklehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01082085427434578189noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6803635117672690546.post-17363585809916253222010-04-28T23:26:00.002-05:002010-04-28T23:30:59.843-05:00MIAI really can't believe I have not posted since 2009!!<br />I don't like to talk about myself and don't know what to post usually. I have been slacking lately. Pictures of my house really show that off. I never did get this craft room cleaned up. I fell off from Flylady. I need to re-inlist.<br />I have been knitting a shawl and have another to do also. I mainly need to use the yarn from my son from Christmas though. It is high on my list to complete.<br />I now belong to meetup in Frisco and have been enjoying a day away to knit and recharge my batteries. I'm getting back on schedule since my back went out in the fall. It still is messed up but I am seeing a doctor to help out. I had carpal tunnel surgery on my right hand but an hesitant to do the other. Soon I will decide.<br />I will post pictures soon of a finished project. I'm working on several. I need to focus.<br />Spring is here and the yard is looking very nice. Flowers everywhere.<br />I will try to post sooner, with pictures.jpirklehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01082085427434578189noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6803635117672690546.post-12871508456957992572009-09-19T18:49:00.002-05:002009-09-19T18:51:19.114-05:00Ants, Ants ants.....September 19thI hate ants, especially fire ants. We have so many mounds popping up due to the heavy rains for a week now. The worst was getting them in the bathroom and kitchen today. I hope I got them all. I found the eggs. I killed, killed and killed some more. I also got bit. Did I say I hate ants?<br />Jeannettejpirklehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01082085427434578189noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6803635117672690546.post-37606254158519359942009-09-08T23:18:00.002-05:002009-09-08T23:22:11.423-05:00PatternI'm working on the pattern for the turban hat. I will have a contest to name the hat real soon. Also, I will have video's of how to make it. It is fun. I'm waiting for my sons video camera and to find time to finish writing the pattern. I'm being very thorough writing it up. Probaly to much so. I will have to write the shorter version then post it. I want to eventually do a class with this one and maybe even another one I want to make. The connection in the back is what I have to show to make it understandable. It is so simple.jpirklehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01082085427434578189noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6803635117672690546.post-67108515016237244272009-09-01T23:09:00.002-05:002009-09-01T23:13:21.114-05:00hatI still have another idea for this hat. I want the back to look less 'baby like' with the gather so I will try a flat short row variation and see if it works better. Also, if the band around the head were wider it may be able to be sewn straight up the back eliminating the gather all together. I still have to work a bit on this. The braided edge along the back looks very nice and could be used for other things. This step I will show on a video to make it easier. I have to get the video camera from Tim then I can add the pattern and video both here. This will be the first time for this so be patient. It may take me a bit to figure it all out.jpirklehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01082085427434578189noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6803635117672690546.post-40831340317842944032009-09-01T23:05:00.002-05:002009-09-01T23:09:17.179-05:00New hat<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr5UYvpxC-0uKXROXuGkKhoD-oOqVC2Au9ZSvvqZbYFKSo-L14ZmswzAfcyqCplcVDoJfsG18qZu3-GhyY9SveeV_1KQQTZpaFLN5lM34WoFY9ogaITgSC1_YfDCCbkW7Bo24hgrEV/s1600-h/Image004.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 256px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr5UYvpxC-0uKXROXuGkKhoD-oOqVC2Au9ZSvvqZbYFKSo-L14ZmswzAfcyqCplcVDoJfsG18qZu3-GhyY9SveeV_1KQQTZpaFLN5lM34WoFY9ogaITgSC1_YfDCCbkW7Bo24hgrEV/s320/Image004.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376717193365848722" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid-p2-eeikLZL5prVZIxcYPeWG21D3SMjUR8kG_ZGVA1qSjBYVbm7_w8d_SYrtakrxyabo2hEDEDPRTzXWVv7hhxUWvlYT_YyPS85t0hOUAbiPKiSvv-Y7emADGlpDMMQ4z7B8K34f/s1600-h/Image005.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 256px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid-p2-eeikLZL5prVZIxcYPeWG21D3SMjUR8kG_ZGVA1qSjBYVbm7_w8d_SYrtakrxyabo2hEDEDPRTzXWVv7hhxUWvlYT_YyPS85t0hOUAbiPKiSvv-Y7emADGlpDMMQ4z7B8K34f/s320/Image005.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376717186373827698" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy2psvPowyiN9tYJ2uj_5OPKWPqre43HbQBmBxwTjPD1oeQ79HpUgFRtDJTgNFafWG6AUKR5esBjBO6_yCnk57lKG_m0ntrHQCCl7wHKAlid7p_FywWgaxMSkM3GuAlZkmr4fIGGQJ/s1600-h/Image002.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 256px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy2psvPowyiN9tYJ2uj_5OPKWPqre43HbQBmBxwTjPD1oeQ79HpUgFRtDJTgNFafWG6AUKR5esBjBO6_yCnk57lKG_m0ntrHQCCl7wHKAlid7p_FywWgaxMSkM3GuAlZkmr4fIGGQJ/s320/Image002.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376717178469742274" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZ-SIY-Wy5aCO1VJw80sIeT1pjId-_KtUgXKyX7XZvJaJFOFLdVKdu8w3n4Fc8VR4o2pBdwNrbObwDi0ypdUqDCr4roaCPUv6pwfKqej17wW3eXYNXlPpAEVF6znx5v0Xpvkmo7jtd/s1600-h/Image000.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 256px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZ-SIY-Wy5aCO1VJw80sIeT1pjId-_KtUgXKyX7XZvJaJFOFLdVKdu8w3n4Fc8VR4o2pBdwNrbObwDi0ypdUqDCr4roaCPUv6pwfKqej17wW3eXYNXlPpAEVF6znx5v0Xpvkmo7jtd/s320/Image000.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376717168594578018" border="0" /></a><br />I have been MIA on this blog.

I still need to finish the directions. When they are complete and a video is ready I will post it with a contest to name this hat. Prizes will be awarded.

They are made on a loom with cotton and tulle. They are fun to make and she has three videos of how to do it, you can work along side of the videos until you finish. Her site is:<http: com=""> http://gettinitpegged.com/ and the pattern is under the title 'My Goodies for you' at the bottom so scroll down to find it.<br />These work very well in the kitchen but also in the shower to exfoliate your skin. They are machine wash and dry too. You can get colored tulle at Hobby Lobby and at Joann's and she shows you how to prepare it in the video's too. The cotton is any kitchen cotton like the type to make dishcloths with.</http:>jpirklehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01082085427434578189noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6803635117672690546.post-91099381953396701572009-08-13T14:37:00.004-05:002009-08-13T14:47:28.627-05:00Howdy<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiO1m86vPNyKmoAjjyb0qo3VSfhfaH0yQDRPdaFqn6ULiSnpzl02yk4fWaoj8RhHfdX78UzgoIexWrz5BJ1PMbwNFkf-0fnQ68mjp04ZTVIneuqeSWA6tkXMxkeVts0JXaj-yhOF1r5/s1600-h/Image025.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 256px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiO1m86vPNyKmoAjjyb0qo3VSfhfaH0yQDRPdaFqn6ULiSnpzl02yk4fWaoj8RhHfdX78UzgoIexWrz5BJ1PMbwNFkf-0fnQ68mjp04ZTVIneuqeSWA6tkXMxkeVts0JXaj-yhOF1r5/s320/Image025.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369536994482912994" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbXogg9akbioyKA7qC9OJyCojtPwQA6v8FYiow9jim03_EaMy4S-sY-cjvYCn9Q1HYCYyvqMVAJM-BF76D1lIVXZl7jhiSwziDx77m_9rfWNnPSRrzJCDNQhYtXihnhG0oM-lDXKz_/s1600-h/Image023.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 256px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbXogg9akbioyKA7qC9OJyCojtPwQA6v8FYiow9jim03_EaMy4S-sY-cjvYCn9Q1HYCYyvqMVAJM-BF76D1lIVXZl7jhiSwziDx77m_9rfWNnPSRrzJCDNQhYtXihnhG0oM-lDXKz_/s320/Image023.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369536977002356690" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />I haven't posted again since it has been a crazy and very busy summer. I have been cleaning, knitting, mowing, mowing and mowing. Did I say the grass has been very green?? It has been raining a bunch and then very hot on the non-rainy days. 100 then rain, 100 then rain. One storm brought 70 mile per hour sheer winds and now we need a new roof and electrical work due to the water seeping in the light fixtures inside. A friend had a bad accident this summer and I went over and stayed there a while taking care of her 13 year old daughter while she was still in the Hospital. That and cooking have been a big thing this year. Normally I don't cook in the summer, only BBQ or quick light meals. This summer is cook and cook some more. I am not losing the weight I should due to this either. I haven't finished much craft wise, but I do have projects in the works. I did finally work on some kitchen scrubby-O's and made 4 so far. I love this pattern so look for some as gifts. Here are two pictures of the few I've done so far (above).jpirklehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01082085427434578189noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6803635117672690546.post-59846980173680807502009-05-17T16:07:00.002-05:002009-05-17T16:15:57.604-05:00Mid May update 2009Just checking in. It has been raining almost non stop since before Easter. We had floods and bad storms. Today is the first cool and clear and sunny day in a long time. I don't wish for the 100 degree days but the flooding made me feel moldy. I need to clean my house very badly. Fly lady got me started but I need a quick swift kick in the butt to get going again. I'm almost done with the yard and then it can sit for a while with no work involved. I may even get the last of the plants in this week if the spongy ground dries a little bit. I still need some Saint Augustine sod but that will get done whenever it does. No pictures today, I haven't done anything creative in a while. I made three dishcloths but that was it. My oldest son and his wife bought their first house last week. I can't wait to see it inside. Then comes the four letter words-pack, move and work. Yuck!! I hope I won't have to do much since they will get to move in sometime at the beginning of July, very hot by then. Maybe I'll get in one last cool swim at his apartment before they turn in the keys. At least that would be a reward if I have to work hard moving boxes and stuff with my truck.jpirklehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01082085427434578189noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6803635117672690546.post-26895914223952220962009-04-15T18:05:00.003-05:002009-04-15T18:11:53.899-05:00Easter updateWell Easter has come and gone again. We have been having storms and then warm days and then cool. It can't make up its mind right now. I like the moderate days though so it won't get extremely hot so quickly. I had two big dinners to cook for on Easter and now it is Wednesday and I've finally recuperated. I'm just getting to old for all this. I made everyone promise that next year is a Sunday out for a change.<br />I haven't loomed in a week with all the other stuff going on but I have cleaned out some stuff and knitted half of a cloth. I joined a new group on Ravelry called 'Cloth of the Week'. It is so neat and you can make many of them and then make an afghan later or just give cloths for gifts. I like this idea. I'll want to make them all just like the looming patterns and I hope I don't get myself to worked up over not being able to do them all. I'm going to try and make them all from cotton if possible. I've done so many other fibers that cotton will be a change. I'll post a picture when it is done.jpirklehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01082085427434578189noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6803635117672690546.post-27656286117342825342009-03-30T13:28:00.003-05:002009-03-30T13:40:34.430-05:00Monday March 30th<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8x_fHbDvRMebhD5eK2q4nO2HQAVJBB_LO7QifDXJVkm9DP3AjOb-fAvN8hqK9TASgUxh17FTm0jZS0ZB2O9-ccrOMsIeMMqGR-smvXBCdm7rAX8Y5EDniEU-jFwRsi2PPPdaq8n-z/s1600-h/sampler+scarf+loom+class+march+2009+019.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;

I took pictures of each section. The 1x1 and 2x2 ribs are the same front and back. Otherwise all the sections have two pictures. This scarf took one week to knit while I was sick and not doing more than one section a day. It is a good way to learn new stitches. Thank you Robin.jpirklehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01082085427434578189noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6803635117672690546.post-32960215462682264532008-12-20T23:27:00.002-06:002008-12-20T23:28:45.600-06:00Another picture<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJnz7gi5OMEryL95TYCYCo50uXadf512VqoMi4GBzPE86i0WUMuu47EsA975Klb8UAZPEeSrFJFsUoyncOzRlaJ3fPZrYb8F_DRSJQtT3se_TF0x1sA8R4lcOEPCZgDCBtPjnd8Y7o/s1600-h/mixed+pictures+from+camera+039.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJnz7gi5OMEryL95TYCYCo50uXadf512VqoMi4GBzPE86i0WUMuu47EsA975Klb8UAZPEeSrFJFsUoyncOzRlaJ3fPZrYb8F_DRSJQtT3se_TF0x1sA8R4lcOEPCZgDCBtPjnd8Y7o/s320/mixed+pictures+from+camera+039.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5282111034742688114" border="0" /></a><br />Here is another shot of the outdoors with the flash blocked.jpirklehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01082085427434578189noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6803635117672690546.post-2054268294840236412008-12-20T23:19:00.002-06:002008-12-20T23:26:38.539-06:00Christmas decorations<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwyu00_c1TYHDWc_a3QyrvgY1DXvK22fFPkr2DhsgJr7Ix5dItQFpjHjcnCwFFicXFvpWJZB34oo-b5HUX8OiFzSgaqAkouZyGgedQ9MQB7xg8Io-idEogOXMBjB35taLxzh3Q3J-v/s1600-h/mixed+pictures+from+camera+038.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwyu00_c1TYHDWc_a3QyrvgY1DXvK22fFPkr2DhsgJr7Ix5dItQFpjHjcnCwFFicXFvpWJZB34oo-b5HUX8OiFzSgaqAkouZyGgedQ9MQB7xg8Io-idEogOXMBjB35taLxzh3Q3J-v/s320/mixed+pictures+from+camera+038.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5282110276665901234" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiDHZa5nfijhHfR1USJy8lr9sLkLB1nKIPlteopuw4M8VmSEA9dCRzcHGHbF2m2-ALDnXeuK6MWsWWM5cGBI1aktuu3zTsaL7V9nBXRNRh8P7ZwnIEiyDgr8ipu5XmYsAV5WNq9T_t/s1600-h/mixed+pictures+from+camera+035.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiDHZa5nfijhHfR1USJy8lr9sLkLB1nKIPlteopuw4M8VmSEA9dCRzcHGHbF2m2-ALDnXeuK6MWsWWM5cGBI1aktuu3zTsaL7V9nBXRNRh8P7ZwnIEiyDgr8ipu5XmYsAV5WNq9T_t/s320/mixed+pictures+from+camera+035.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5282110272298370482" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0GaVYqW1J7TcEPW24n3oZ0lYVL1IepEW1cPPi9D_b6NlYJj3dKLVSZd31nifRTk_1AleqN2OSFxkSFN-jNK_AHZ1aYfD0ZNM45lgAZZbBGnxNjeIRSIbGsvOy04lvGy3QexEAORLc/s1600-h/mixed+pictures+from+camera+034.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0GaVYqW1J7TcEPW24n3oZ0lYVL1IepEW1cPPi9D_b6NlYJj3dKLVSZd31nifRTk_1AleqN2OSFxkSFN-jNK_AHZ1aYfD0ZNM45lgAZZbBGnxNjeIRSIbGsvOy04lvGy3QexEAORLc/s320/mixed+pictures+from+camera+034.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5282110264564674530" border="0" /></a><br />I forgot to post pictures of our decorations. I went overboard outside but it looks nice. No one else on our block put up any lights this year. It is depressing. At least I still have some and my husband is actually proud for the first time (he didn't help at all though). The new tree turned out nice. Since it is in the corner due to remodeling the living space and its not done I had to leave half of my ornaments off. Next year I will have to figure out a different configuration. Maybe we can get a bigger place by then-who am I kidding?? Just baking and wrapping to do now so I am on the final stretch. I hope you are all having a wonderful Holiday.jpirklehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01082085427434578189noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6803635117672690546.post-81087689554245578332008-12-07T22:41:00.003-06:002008-12-07T22:45:43.744-06:00December 7thWow, Thanksgiving came and went. I cooked twice. Then nothing for days. Now we are in the fast track to Christmas. Been decorating like crazy. I have the outside done and the village, tomorrow the tree. Then wrapping, sewing, knitting, mailing stuff and then it will all be over until next year again. I hope to post some pictures this week if all goes well. My sons truck blew up yesterday and my other son is laid off so this year we are hurting like the rest of you. What a way to end the year. Bummer. Lets see what the new President will come up with next year. Hope you aren't all going crazy yet.jpirklehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01082085427434578189noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6803635117672690546.post-27842922061436888282008-11-24T19:56:00.002-06:002008-11-24T20:03:45.412-06:00Happy ThanksgivingLong time since last post. I spent all day today cleaning and grocery shopping. At least my clean kitchen is still clean and so is part of my house. My craft room is still not tackled, nor is the master bedroom but that gives me something to do this winter and into spring--oH joy!! I am looming gifts and getting ready to do a mass sewing. I have so much to do before Christmas. How do we always get ourselves so over whelmed this time of the year?? I bring it on myself so I must love it or something. My boys will be here for Turkey dinner. I have a 22 pounder this year-HUGE. They said they want to take lots of leftovers home. I still have a bunch to clean up around here. Tomorrow will be a crazy day as will the next few. We don't stress much. I just cook way to much.<br />This year is just flying by. To many funerals. The last two months have been horrible for me. Now I need to pour myself back into things. I felt so disconnected but am coming around again.

We still have to sand and glaze the floor and finish painting. We stalled out a bit. Hopefully it will get done before the Holiday rush. Candy, I miss you, look down from Heaven and give me a push (you were supposed to help me install those levelor vertical blinds and finish painting-remember?). See where we stopped painting in the corner?jpirklehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01082085427434578189noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6803635117672690546.post-44633054378538425412008-10-15T23:56:00.002-05:002008-10-15T23:59:49.966-05:00Button hat<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizLTDjEzSP6KZAhR0pBDnpqF8g2RkbcsPz7RLj_b6vKGSHz2ScQg3tQDySYafuc98vgDf92rAQqa3D80J4er1OCxme0Mc4ruB5aqTkNGodewrVGyyjtJzv1GYBUl3MPkmhoGffR34L/s1600-h/buttoned+up+hat+008.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizLTDjEzSP6KZAhR0pBDnpqF8g2RkbcsPz7RLj_b6vKGSHz2ScQg3tQDySYafuc98vgDf92rAQqa3D80J4er1OCxme0Mc4ruB5aqTkNGodewrVGyyjtJzv1GYBUl3MPkmhoGffR34L/s320/buttoned+up+hat+008.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5257611822340715762" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixOOeB92fHuPAK9mKOsLMfFIjkmMVSEhhUlkt0pAcVELf3-xRHO_31iPlVx1IBz78Q6f0cGC69M0j0lDWbS1sk33Acyjs0qLk9k2O6_WhLv7MkaPanO_uIoqEwPA7s9hhgv_R9VMZd/s1600-h/buttoned+up+hat+005.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixOOeB92fHuPAK9mKOsLMfFIjkmMVSEhhUlkt0pAcVELf3-xRHO_31iPlVx1IBz78Q6f0cGC69M0j0lDWbS1sk33Acyjs0qLk9k2O6_WhLv7MkaPanO_uIoqEwPA7s9hhgv_R9VMZd/s320/buttoned+up+hat+005.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5257611827422070626" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiO9sLoGfQEMrdEiwA15WqbvDgnlDYO7Pv0Ht-vS1wB38NIEy3UuDXGGT_qf1-Old6NZeupVAYToxITvFg4itqZDP5uruGtCcHFyF72LlW3c5w1YRolKusNJtALkrOn2XoNmd7sbyaR/s1600-h/hat+on+skeleton+002.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiO9sLoGfQEMrdEiwA15WqbvDgnlDYO7Pv0Ht-vS1wB38NIEy3UuDXGGT_qf1-Old6NZeupVAYToxITvFg4itqZDP5uruGtCcHFyF72LlW3c5w1YRolKusNJtALkrOn2XoNmd7sbyaR/s320/hat+on+skeleton+002.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5257611830302363250" border="0" /></a><br />Here is the hat I test knitted for Isela, it is very cute.

The Holidays are quickly approaching. I stopped on the cleaning crusade but need to get back to it. My best friend died two weeks ago and another friend is in the hospital. I don't want to go to the second floor ICU anymore. Enough. There, I said it so now it is so. Do you like my power???<br />I have been cleaning a little bit but I need to start concentrating on Christmas gifts. My craft/sewing room looks like a tornado hit it. Ouch. I have good intentions but that doesn't poof it all in its appropriate spot now does it? Where is Samantha from Bewitched when you need her?<br />I have been looming some, here are some pictures:jpirklehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01082085427434578189noreply@blogger.com0
