So much has happened in the past week! I can't believe that a whole week has gone by already.............sheesh next thing you know it will be Christmas?
First a photo of some knitting progress on the sweater for Abygial's 5th birthday.
Actually...........I am farther along than this now.........I have about 1/2 of the sleeves finished, then to do the cuff and I will have to find some cool buttons. And then it will be finished! Next on the list of knitting is to make a christening gown for Reese. I think I can get one finished in about 4 weeks. I have it all designed in my head. Probably should jot it down and plan it out but first I have to get just the right yarn.
Next thing that went sorta wrong last week, it was below freezing and we drive a Volkswagen Jetta Diesel. Diesel.........that's what happened. Fuel jelled and car was towed to the dealership as we were already in Ann Arbor returning the rental van. Of course when all this happened the rental places were now closed!! So I had to call Tiffany and have her pick us up on her way home from work. She works in Livonia, we were in Ann Arbor and we live in Brighton! Couple extra miles on her car that night! Then to top things off, we called to have car rental place pick us up so that we would rent a car until ours was fixed. Dealership didn't look at it until today.
Backing up some the car rental place was supposed to be there to get us at 9:30 am so we could get to work. After having to call them 4 times finally someone showed up at 11:30!
Saturday was spent sitting around............didn't feel good. He was supposed to go to work, didn't. I don't know why but I just can't clean house when he is home! I love to clean when he is outta my hair. But when he is home, he just sits there.............doing nothing. Not helping and it really doesn't motivate me to want to do anything either! Ah enough about that.
Sunday went to see grandchildren, Abygail and the twins! OHMYGOSH they are growing so much and getting so big! They are 6 months old already! Hard to believe. Abygail and I had a bit of arts and crafts (that's what she calls it) time. I brought over some yarn and a knitting spool. Taught her how to use it and we made some hats and scarves for her barbies. I really think that she could learn to knit with two needles! I figure that if I can expose her to a few good things she will have something to choose from. Something that will work to keep her creative.
Another thing or two that is keeping me busy is my ipod touch, facebook this blog and Ravelry! I think that I spend too much time online and not enough time knitting! Ok I should get some work done...........going out into the shop to run an Acme Gridley Screw machine.
Bye for now.

Wow - you have been busy! Sorry about the car troubles. There's never a good time for the car to decide to act out. We're bracing for snow here, but thus far have only seen a thin dusting - although it's enough to make the Chih dive under the blanket as soon as he's brought inside from potty time. ;-)
Snow in NC? Isn't that rare? We have had more than our share so far this year I am willing to give you some!!
In some areas of NC, snow is quite rare. I'm in the Triad area, where we do get a couple snows a year - and everybody FREAKS OUT and goes dashing off to the market to buy up all the eggs, bread and milk, as if they're going to be snowed in for days and required to exist on French toast alone. I have lived in NC all my life (first in the mountains, where it really snows, and everyone takes it in stride; then in the Piedmont, where snow is infrequent and the mad dash to the store routine reaches hilariously epic proportions) and I still don't understand what it is about snow in the forecast that makes some people think they must rush out and load up on bread and dairy products!
BTW, check my blog. I was farting around on the net tonight and came across a totally hilarious dog sweater pattern with a skull and crossbones. :-D
