Time Warp

Okay, I got lost in time again. It was so bad this time that Pookie told me today, "you have got to post on your blog." So here I am. I have been busy with knitting for the Children's Hospital of Boston. I have slow down recently as my shoulder has been giving me problems. But hopefully soon I will be back knitting up a storm.

I also set myself goals for this year. One was to get healthier, first step was to maintain what I ate as gluten free food can be high in calories. So I went back to a plan that teaches you how to eat really easily. It is working cause in 4 weeks I have lost 10.2 pounds. Not to shabby if I say so.

I do have some pictures to post. I finish the birthday present for Mom. It was a pair of blue socks. I teased her by telling her it was something she asked for, which she did as a side comment in a conversation that we had before Christmas. She received my very first pair of socks that I ever knitted so they were okay but not as good as the latest ones. So I made her an updated pair.

Also Pookie delivered the scarf to his mom yesterday, but forgot to take the camera so there is no pictures of that at this time.

It was snowing big fluffy flakes on the way to work this morning. It was so beautiful I wish I could have stayed home and watched it. At least the air is fresh and the weather is not too cold.

lost in time

I really dread sometimes knitting for a deadline but I do it for myself. I am currently trying to finish a project before Saturday night so I can block it and give it to my mom for her birthday. Her birthday is Saturday, however, due to work schedule we aren't able to get together until Sunday.

We will be going to lunch at one of my favorite restaurants Biaggi's. They have one of the best gluten free pastas and tons of sauces that I have had since going gluten free. The staff has been excellent each time we have gone and several of them know us by name.

It seems like the year just started and here it is February. At least it started off right with snow, the light fluffy kind. I could go without the below freezing temperatures that we have had this year but today at least the gunk is out of the air. Yeah!!! I will post a picture of mom's birthday gift on Sunday after the party!!!

Pink Packages

As you can see, I love the color pink and my swap buddy made sure I had enough. Pure joy!!! I also love teddy bears!!! I was born in February so I love Valentines as much as I love Christmas. The bag is awesome it has a pocket on the inside-LOVE IT!!!! The yarn is really cool and can be felted so mittens will be casted on soon!!! Thanks Creative Muse.

It snowed during the night so we have the sun out. I love a fresh layer of snow. It makes me want to knitting all snuggled up on the couch. Usually with my oldest cat Isabelle in my lap. She doesn't mess with yarn or my knitting as she had problem with a needle when she was a kitten so it is the one thing she is pretty safe around.

A Saturday off

Today has been an awesome day. One-it is a Saturday and I am not working. Two-Enjoyed a wonderful gluten free brunch as part of the Gluten Free Group Walk committee meeting. Foods that were so normal that unless you were told you wouldn't know. Three-It's snow, big fat flakes! Yummy!!! Four-My Knit Mitt Kit Swap package arrived in the mail. It is so awesome! Hopefully I will be able to upload pictures. My tech support is currently napping with all three cats.

Tonight we are going to see a local theatre production. Bubba, (part brother/part friend) is who introduced Pookie and I ten years ago. He is running sound and put two tickets at will call. We are looking forward to this. Maybe we will go to dinner first. Who knows.

I need to knit a little on mom's up coming birthday present, no details as she may click into the blog as she gets more familiar with the internet. I am so glad she retired in the Fall it made the holidays so much fun. She emails me quite often which I greatly enjoy.

Weekends

How come weekends are so short? This weekend Pookie and I celebrated 10 years since we met. Thank you Bubba! So we did a night in the city. Great dinner, hotel room with state of the art beds....okay I am the princess in the story princess and the pea. The beds were awful, so at 5:27 am we loaded up for home to get some much needed sleep.

The rest did us good!!! I did finish the MIL's scarf yesterday, now to be blocked and given. Picture is coming.

Knit Mitt Kit Swap package has been sent to Texas today, on schedule.

MIL's Scarf

well, with a little time off for not feeling welll. I am half way on MIL's scarf. It is looking pretty good. I am anixious to finish so that I can work on Mom's UFO for her birthday. I am not saying what it is as she maybe reading my blog before her birthday.

Eight days into the new year and finally have first 'to do' item complete. Got Blog. Currently I have several projects on the needles. Went with DH and mom to Soul Spun for yarn today. Mom needs a scarf for work. I am just waiting for the full dimensions before I cast on.
