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!

Sock yarn

Ok, So I posted below about the Craft bazaar that Downtown Dallas had at the Farmers Market. Mike spoiled me and told me to get whatever I want(dangerous word). So I came home with the three skeins of 400yrd sock yarn and a bit of roving(which I tried to spin with my homemade spindle..I'm working on it ok). I couldn't get the pics to come out anywhere near right so here is the link . Here is the best of the crappy photos.

The pink, yellow and white is on its way to being a Monkey (one foot down and about half of the leg portion of the other). But the other two don't have plans yet. The STR(in lemongrass:) that I won I think decided it wants to be a jaywalker. So I have at least the next two months of knitting figured out.

I won!!!

I have never won anything. Sarah from Bella Knitting was having a competition, she wanted everyone to guess when baby Measure was going to make an appearance. Well I guessed the right day. So this is what she sent me.

Way cool!!! I love it. It is green, yellow with a little tan. I kicked myself for not buying green sock yarn at the craft bazaar downtown, so she couldn't have sent me anything better. Thanks Sarah!

I will try to post more this week. I am so behind, I actually have pics of things to post but just haven't done it. We are moving this weekend so I'll try to get caught up before then.
