A few days ago I got a really nice email from Melissa, who I had never met before. She was having difficulties with the Soft Waves Ripple. I sent her the "corrections" and she was nice enough to let me know that they worked for her. YEAH! I was reading her blog and noticed a fun tag that she had gotten that had you open the 6th picture folder on your computer, and then take the 6th photo in that folder and blog about it. I of course had to see what my picture was and it is a new one, well not really new. Last weekend I transferred all of the pictures that my sister had of us on her flash drive to my computer. So here we go.

"Open the 6th picture folder on your computer, open the 6th photo and blog it. Write something about it. Then tag 6 more people to do the same."

Joseph is 330 minutes old here. We had been in our room about 150 minutes. My Mom is holding him and Jessica took the picture. Jessica had been at the hospital the night before while I was in labor but had to leave because she had to work the next morning, she ended up working really short shifts for the next few days. So this was the first time she saw him. I'm really thankful she had her camera, I have quite a few pictures from that morning but it is nice to have even more.

I've been shopping

Ok so it has been forever since I posted last...Since then we have had three sick wienies, four wienies recovering from surgery, one totaled car, way to many days of working stressed out, two holidays, both of us sick(I think it was a super bug..I've never been so sick in my life), lots of sale shopping and a new camera(SQUEEEEEE).. I really need to spend sometime with the wienies since both Mike and I have been in bed for days so this is going to be short..Just thought that I would let the few people that read this know that I'm alive... So I will leave you with yarny goodness...

I found a wonderful lady on Ravelry that was selling part of her stash so that she could buy more(and the muggles think we are crazy..lol). Worked great because I love what she didn't want anymore:) Thanks Sue!


Most of the lys in the Dallas area had X-mas sales. Mike very nicely dropped me off at the door of the Shabby Sheep in Uptown for that one(not too crazy and for some reason not many people were grabbing sock yarn:0).. After that and then a stop by our favorite cafe Lucky's we decided to go the the Knitting Nook in NRH even though their sale wasn't until the next week. The ladies running the shop were lovely and they had a great selection.
Hands down the most fun was, some how I talked my friend Cindy into getting to my house by 3AM(she had to be up by 2AM!) so that we could make it to the Woolie Ewes annual sale...Woo hooo... We got in line by 4:15 and only had about 10 people ahead of us! It was FREEZING but we toughed it out... It was sooooo crazy but we both got what we came for:) So here is my haul for December...

So for 2008~ more fuzzy feet, lots of Bird in Hand Mittens and The CPH!

Ripples

I joined the No End in Sight Ripple along last week and I think I am going to post my first post today.
I have finished almost three repeats out of nine(I think), so I am a third of the way done.
Oh this is my new toy.


Since I have a sewing machine now(yeah!) I sat and did this last night(thanks to http://learningfromchavah.blogspot.com/.)


I bought the material and the crochet thread to make a blanket(ok two). With the extra side material I can make three burp clothes that match. So last night I experimented with the burp clothes to see if I can make them square instead of rounded. I think I'm going to like them rounded better. So I will finish the other one I already hemmed and then take my new compass thingy tonight and round the ends out. Next on the list is a new camera. I hate the pictures that I post.
