Oh right.. the blog.
posted Wednesday, September 24th, 2008 by SarahYeah… uh, guess I forgot to post stuff, again I haven’t really been up to a WHOLE lot lately.. honest
I got a new camera as a late birthday present, so I’ve been off taking pictures, not crafting. My son went back to school, my daughter also started preschool, and my youngest is trying his hardest to walk.
After my futile attempt at knitting 17 pairs of socks for the Ravelympics (I only logged 6 of the 7 I know I finished) I finally got the Legare out again Monday, and knit up a couple of pairs.. first a pair from this month’s Yarn Pirate Booty Club
and then some from some Panda Silk I wanted to try out.. I really REALLY like how it works up on the CSM, when it all goes right. There was supposed to be another pair in another colorway for my sister, but um, we had issues and I’m not gonna go there.
I sat down today and made a pair of hairclips.. I’ve been wanting to do this for a while, I just didn’t get myself in gear to go get the goodies I needed. I love how they came out, and I’ll definitely be making more 
It’s almost yarn related?

We adopted two kitties Saturday from the Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter. We had no idea they had a kitty special going on when we decided to get both of them either (and we were okay with paying two adoption fees).. which for some reason impressed the lady that did all of our paperwork… but it meant that we walked out with two kitties for less than we’d expected to pay to adopt one. They are both too cute for words.. they camed named from the shelter but I doubt that we’ll keep the names (though we’ve not come up with anything better? So they might stick… hope not!).
10 week old Calico “Heidy” (she’s the shy one.. I almost wonder if her name wasn’t a shelter employee being silly. She’s a real sweetheart now that she’s warming up to us – she’s even starting to act like a kitten after just being here a day)
11 week old black/white “Dallas” (she’s a goofy girl.. might as well have a goofy name too?)
Both spayed and microchipped, complete with their first shots… for the bargain price of $75 We had been promising the kids we’d get a cat for months now, so it wasn’t quite an impulsive thing.. though getting two sort of was. Really we just couldn’t decide, so instead of arguing over it, DH just went and started filling out paperwork. He’s awesome.
I am failing..
posted Friday, August 22nd, 2008 by SarahI have made 7 pairs out of 17 that I had planned to do for the ravelympics. I had some issues and just lost momentum. Nevermind I’ve not been feeling all that great this past week. I think I’m going to call it quits officially and just be proud I made 6 pairs. I don’t think the 10 pairs I have left will actually happen in the next two days. It might, but I seriously doubt it.
