Happy Canada Day to all my Canadian friends!

I have been holding off posting until I could finish up a few various projects and get some pictures of them. Last night I finished the light pink shawl I was working on, and this morning I took pictures. Yay for being productive!


This pattern is so much fun to knit! I have knit THREE of them already!!


This one is a smaller shawl as I didn't have a full hank to knit with. It still turned out awesome!


This is a wedding present for a gal my MIL knows. It's made with some yarn my Grammy gave me (yay for vintage yarn!) and has been washed in hair conditioner so it's super soft!

My sister's boyfriend asked me to knit him a little sweater for his puppy weener dog, Dipple-Gail. But since it's summer time, I'm going to knit her little scarves. Last night I made her a little scarf similar to the pink one I made for me. It'll look SUPER CUTE on her. I can't wait to make her more.

I am actually at work, sitting next to my boss, so I should get going.

Mood: GREAT!
Listening: to my boss drone on and on and on and on about stocks and options.
Reading: The Wizards First Rule by Terry Goodkind (the first book in the Legend of the Seeker series)

So... tired... Must be work or something. I'm mostly not a fan. Got a solid 9 hours of sleep last night, but woke up like I got no rest at all. Same with the night before. I would LOVE to hide in my bedroom for a day or two, and not have to worry about anything outside my room (like the phone, work, people, chores, etc). *sigh...*

My hubby bought me the most darling My Little Pony baby. Her name is Toola-Roola. She has a little diaper on, and a cute what hat to put on her head, and a small stack of blocks you can attach to her leg. *SO DARLING!* <3<3 I collect My Little Ponies

Started working on the Knit.1 lace blanket again. I'm about 60% done, which is great. While I knew knitting a blanket would be a big undertaking, I am getting close to being done with it. Hehe. It's turning out great so far, so I am super excited to be done so I can snuggle with it.

Time to get pj's on, I think. Nite!

Mood: blah, tired.
Listening: To music a friend recorded
Wearing: Wish I was wearing the most snuggly pajama's in the world
Eating: I should have stopped eating the super yummy Flips a while ago, but they're so good, I can't stop!
Drinking: I think the delicious IPA isn't helping my sleepiness...

Had a wonderful day today! It was SUPER productive and fun. Special thanks to my Dad for taking time out to help me take a run to the dump (we did some MASSIVE cleaning and purging at the store). Thank you thank you!

A friend from Seattle came into town so we hung out with him and his brother tonight. We bought Tech Decks and had a blast playing with them. Remember Tech Decks?!


Oh yeah! Mini skate boards!

Haven't touched one of these in years. So it was fun to mess around with them. We all decided to practice so next time he comes down, we can show off out new moves. Lol!

On the knitting front, I am working on a wedding present for a friend of my Mother-In-Law. A pretty light colored textured shawl:



Also plugging along with my blanket. I love how toasty I get when I'm curled up on the couch with a blanket, then I have the one I'm knitting on top of that. Mmmm nice!

It's late! Time to relax!

Mood: Happy!
Watching: My Honey play "Trash Panic" on the PS3.
Listening: Would LOVE to be listening to Bon Iver right now. We saw him at Sasquatch and he blew me away. Here's a video of one of my current faves: Skinny Love
