Pie!

Do you see that piece of pie that is "missing"?? It isn't really missing, it's yours, actually. Why don't you come over for pie & ice cream?? You bring the ice cream, cuz I made the pie!! I picked the blackberries & Sockergirl's Mom picked the blueberries.

The Auction!!

Everything sold! In fact, who bought my recycled silk net market bag??? My company's CEO!! How about that!! $25

Someone bought my felted bag. $30

Someone bought my knitting lessons too!! Check this out................$45!!!

So that means in someway I was able to contribute $100 to the auction. Pretty cool, eh??

Been Knitting on the Bus

I finished my felted bag. It is in the auction as of yesterday with the other market bag & my knitting lessons. I didn't see any bids on any of my stuff. I'll let you know next week.

I had tried knitting on the bus when I first was going downtown & it wasn't really working for me, so I was reading. But I have been trying again & it seems to be working better. Doing that enabled me to finish this in time for the auction.

Oh.......and I did my deck on Monday. Aren't you proud of me?? So now I don't have to mention that for another 2 years.................

I'm Still Here & Even Knitting!

Howdy!!

So what is new?? I'm a "working fool". I just heard that phrase from a good friend today & figured that's the same club I'm in. It sure leaves no time for blogging. But, it doesn't seem that any of you missed me. I think my fan base is shrinking!! HA!!

Let's see.........ok, first let me show you one of the sachets that I made. I didn't take a picture of both of them & they are gone now.














My good ole' pooch got attacked in the off leash dog park a couple of months ago. Her bite wound got infected, so I had to take her in to emergency. She had to have light surgery to drain her abcess. This is what she looked like when we came home. This is so she wouldn't scratch her incision where the stitches were. She's fine now though. Guess who won't be going back to the dog park?? It's a shame, we had so much fun there.

I haven't touched the tank top that I mentioned last time I blogged. I guess I'll be late on that one. No picture yet.

We are having a charity auction at work next Friday. I'm going to donate my recycled silk market bag. I'm also going to auction a 2 hour knitting lesson. You think I'll have any takers?? And I also will auction a felted tote bag. I'm almost done, but here is what it looked like a couple days ago.

It looks way better today.

Hopefully I will take the "after" pictures.

Do you remember last year I said that I was going to stain my deck?? Well, I never did. I'm saying that right now too. But, it's raining. I am taking Monday off work. Maybe I'll do it on Monday?? Maybe I'll get back to my tank top?? Or the other socks that have been on needles for a year??

Please don't give up on me. Please keep visiting me.

More Than a Year!

Time flies..........it's been just over a year since I started my blog. I can't believe it. I'm going to be 85 really soon then! My Dad is 86. He'll probably stop aging & wait for me to catch up with him!

My company moved to downtown Seattle at the beginning of May. I'm taking the bus to work. They are supplementing most of the fare. It is sooooooooo easy & sooooooooo quick. Perfect timing too with the gas prices going up so high. The last time I bought gas was the first week in May. I still have 1/2 a tank left! Wouldn't that be amazing if I only need to buy gas once every 2 months? We shall see. It is so much fun being downtown. I love it.

I should tell you the goat story. On Monday, when I got off the bus, I could've sworn that I heard some goats. Then I thought, "Ok, I'm tired. There aren't any goats in the Park & Ride. It must be a baby crying." I didn't even turn my head, because I thought I was losing my mind. Then when I turned the corner around the block, I saw my neighbor walking her dog & she said, "Did you see the goats?". "WHAT!!.......I really was hearing goats??". Turns out that they put 250 goats in the ivy at the Park & Ride & a temporary electric fence to keep them in. They say that is cheaper than hiring landscapers to do the trimming!! They were there for 3 days. Gone tonight when I came home. I miss them already. Lacey was having fun trying to get to them, but I had to keep her tight on her leash.

I have been knitting a tank top.......I plan on finishing it before Fall too! :) Also I'm knitting another pair of socks I started a year ago. I made a beaded sachet for a sweet gal at work, it was her birthday. And I will make another one for another gal at work, her birthday is next week. I haven't started yet. Will I finish on time? I will let you know.

What have you been up to?

Thank God!

Now this is very funny.

A couple young guys at work...... a few cubicles down from me, I don't know their names...........were talking about bands & music they like. One guy was saying that he liked some band (I never heard of it) that was a Christian band & that he didn't know it was a Christian band. He was telling the other guy that he listened to this band for 3 years & never knew it was a Christian band. Then he was saying how angry he was when he found out......but this is the FUNNY thing that he said................he said, "Thank God I didn't understand the lyrics"!!

Don't you think that's funny?? At least he is thanking God for something!!

Ok, Here's PROOF!!! Not in the Pudding!
