harry potter 7 *spoilers are distinctly possible*

not that anyone reads this, but i went friday night at 1130 to ye local bookstore... bought book and was home by 1 am. i finished the book by 5 am. it was amazingly good, and many questions were answered. i was shocked and dismayed by the death of dobby, and of fred. lupin and tonks.... c'mon we all knew that would happen. the baby was a shocker, but im glad they got married and were happy for a little while.
i must be one of the few that LIKED the epilouge, it was nice to find out thet the couples did get married and live happily ever after.

in other news, i have been working on a few things, mainly charity squares.

all the goodies!!! (lots of pics!)

lookit all this BEEYOOTIFULL! stuff!!! kathy (my new bff) sent me a fabulous reveal box! included were some yummy candles, 9 (9!) pattern books, 3 skeins of supercotton, and a TON of sugar n cream in all different colourways! AND some gorgeous hand dyed wool and some saftey goggles, so i can shave again! shes sooooo thoughtful that way!!! and some coffee and rubs for the grill (ohhhh boy!) and a cutter pendant and 2 books and a sippy cuppy for princess!!! (sippy cuppy was immediately grabbed and loved, which is why its not pictured.also in the box was a "v" magnet. im impressed, as the letter "V" can be hard to find! and a mini notepad and pen set!









also, i recently purchased a bag of mill ends...just cause it was PRETTY! (yeah, sometimes i buy yarn for that reason...) now, i want to know what it is... does anyone recognize it?


anyone????

holy bananas cookie girl!

alot has happened since i last posted.... i shot myself in the eye with some gillette. yeah. you can stop laughing now. anyways, because of the "incident" as i call it; i was NOT ALLOWED to: crochet, watch tv, read, drive, do anything in "bright" light (that means grocery shopping for fun is out) and no computer. yeah. ok, for real, stop laughing. i had to go to the HOSPITAL..... and they flipped my eyelid inside out, which i had not done since i was about 14....maybe 16. its not nearly as cool now.
but i am better now. and have commenced a flurry of activity in which, ive really not done jackshit.(im VERY good at not doing jackshit) ive started a couple of items, a fatbottom bag for myself, another crocheted duck (the babies need prezzies, no matter how skanky the mommy) oh and i recieved my reveal TODAY from my secret pal. i'll have to post later with fabulous pictures of all the fabulous stuff she gave me!
saturday is my family reunion. i need to make SOMETHING for the white elephant sale/auction and make some sort of yummy something as it is potluck/bring a dish to pass. the problem: I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO MAKE. i used to be able to whip up cherries jubilee....now i live too far away for that, it has to stay cold. so....im thinking cookies. but what kind should i make???? ARGH!!!!!!!! makes me wanna buy a bag of chips and call it a day.

lewd?

bettycrackpot -- [noun]: A lewd street performer 'How will you be defined in the dictionary?' at QuizGalaxy.com

i can deal with the street performer part, but the lewd has got to go, yo....

goodies!!!

i am being spoiled by my secret pal. i recieved a box from her awhile ago, but i am a horrible person and forgot to post about it. ( I AM A HORRIBLE PERSON! PRAY YOUR CHILDREN DONT GROW UP TO BE LIKE ME!!!)
she sent lots of yummy yarn, and some snacks ( to keep my strength up while i crochet) and 2 cute little wool crocheted bags and some stickers some squirtie toys that princess snatched up as soon as i finished taking the pic. ( yeah, thats her chubby lil leg) and a "message center" with a magnetic memo board and magnetic to do list and two butterfly magnets! woo hoo!!!!
i lil heart my secret pal....whomever you are!

the sweater that will not die!

so i did NOT finish that dumb BICO in time. whatev, it can go in the stash of made crap if i need a quickie gift. but i cant seem to bring my self to finish it. all that needs to be done is the left placket and the trim. oh, and i think it may end up being lilys, i can make it just a bit bigger by adding stripes down the sides.... and she loves it. i hate the yarn i am using to make it. i mean i like the yarn normally, but not for this pattern, its too floofy. ( im using red heart baby clouds)
i have sort of hit a wall anyways, i have lots of stuff im working on; and stuff that NEEDS to be started YESTERDAY....but i dont wanna. i dont want to knit, i dont want to crochet. i dont even want to sew. im feeling kinda mean and petty actually.
" screw you and your dumb baby...i dont get one!" isnt that terrible? i dont neccessarily WANT a (nother) baby right now, but i sort of do. i wish i could see into the future and know everything will work out, we WILL get out of debt, and we WILL make something of our lives and I WILL FINISH THIS DAMM SWEATER!!!!!!!!!!! grrrrrrr. blech! i need to make dinner now.

whooptiewhoo

we haven't been doing too much lately, kidlet went thru a period of not sleeping between 12 midnight and 4 am........its much better now. so big daddy n i have been catching up on our sleep too.
i've also been prepping stuff for our yardsale, its happening in (count em) 3 days!!! yikes! most everything is priced, and ready to go tho; so that is a relief.
princess has decided she is ADDICTED to "over the hedge" no really, i can quote it in my sleep.....whole passages no less.
i have made a bunch of buttons for the yardsale, no crochet tho. (shame on me) i just didnt make enough time. i have been trying to make a BICO sweater for a baby that should be here soon. its not going well. i think i make alot of patterns harder than they are, but it is my first wearable.
ive also made a few things for my secret pal over at the 'ville. i hope she likes everything!
