mom help!

mom... I need a tent.
mom... Scott got fired.
mom... I need your truck.
mom... HELP!

sigh... I love my kids, really I do :)

today I try to do the good thing. She pawned a couple of family rings that she had been given and tomorrow is the last day she can get them back. I told her to be here in the morning and we would go get them but that I would "own" them until she paid me back for them. She didn't bother to show up and then gets pissed at me for getting upset because I had to sit and wait on her. grrrrrRRRRRRR!!! I swear... lots and lots :)

ok I'm over it. we are going to BBQ tonight - sirloin tip roast. and I'm going to sit in that hot tub until I shrivel up! Then I'm going to sit in bed, gather my crocheting to me and maybe watch a damn show! *stomps foot!* 48 hour weekend and I'm going to be selfish and enjoy 2 hours of it dammit!

back to some form of reality

the Faire is over and what a blast!! All the decorating got done but as always we don't have enough time to get to everything. Most of the garb got put by the way side although Brie and Scott had their new matching outfits and looked wonderful :)

ATM, I"m working on some yo-yos to put together into an afghan someday. They are the perfect take along project. I sat at the tattoo place last night while Brie and I got new ink and crocheted my heart out and filled a baggie :)

Got to swapping patterns and ideas with the gal that inks us - seems she was going through her stash "cat proofing" it yesterday and laying aside stuff for new grand nephew things to make :)

I love finding friends in unusual places!

it's been a while!

Off we go into renaissance land... the place I love so much but it means so much work. Just finished up embroidering 16 banners. Working on 8 pennants tonight and tomorrow. Tomorrow also is the start of the garbing. Let's see:

Roger: Doublet and codpiece
Brie: Skirt, Blouse, leather cincher and vest
Brie's Scott: Doublet, pants, shirt
Tim: Pants and jerkin
Scott: black and white parti-color something
Morgan: same as Scott
me: ??? who the heck knows lol I doubt I'll have time for anything new for myself this year.

And I have to finish the horses :) I love our joust :)

Check us out! Olde World Ren Faire

off to work!

Knitting marker addiction!

OMG these things are just too much fun!! I need to take a few pictures but I"ve been having a blast making these! lol I'll never use them all but figure they will make pretty gifts for knitting friends :)
Feels good to create again! I'm also so very much looking forward to getting the kitchen done so I can have my lap top and embroidery machine out in the sunshine to work on stuff!!
Other things in the works are ... a new KAL dishcloth starting on the yahoo list on Thursday... I got offered the sister to my Eskie pup... the timing isn't right though so will probably have to pass.

Tried to take pics of the markers but they aren't turning out so will try again tomorrow morning.

Sleep well nightmares and come home to roost some other day...

BRRR!

Blast and damnation it's cold out here!!! All weekend it's been well below zero in the Northland. The vehicles have all started though so in that we have been lucky :)

WIth them starting I made my way to Michaels and picked up some Cotton Tots to knit up some dishclothes with. I joined a KAL and am enjoying the heck out of it! ah heck - I joined a few but am slowly getting my feet wet and the dishclothes seemed a fun easy way to do that.

I should have the first one done either today or tomorrow - stupid appts

Elsewhere in the world:
The pup is growing and her little bark and growl are so cute... except at 4am. lol

My house is coming along. I'm fretting over paint colors right now. The front wall is slate so that is a focus wall... darn designers lol So... I have to find something that goes with that.. the green granite island counter - the paler green main counter and the redish wood flooring... not to mention the craftroom and bedroom that all connect somehow. *nightmare*



Thanks again for reading. If anyone has any ideas about decorating around slate PLEASE let me know!
