Great Find!

Last night before the football game, hubby and I went to the dollar store and guess what I found?! Yarn!!!!! for a $1.00 a skein!!! Yes I found L.B. Incredible ribbon yarn, and L.B. Fancy Fur. I only spent $18 on yarn but I did buy all the ribbon yarn they had left and then I also got 2 different colors of Fancy Fur. I am working on a kercheif, for myself, with the ribbon yarn, and who knows what else I'll make. I think I'll make some scarves with the Fancy Fur. I went to the L.B. site for some patterns but I was really disappointed with what I found. Any one else have any ideas?

Drum Roll Please....

And My Good News Is.....
I am now the Assistant Manger at my place of employment! Yeah for me. Ok the job title is really just 2nd in charge but that is what I am now. The manger, because of health reasons, stepped down the assistant manger is now manger and I was choosen to be the assistant manger. It comes with a nice raise, and who couldn't use that. Lots more responsibilities and I'm sure stress. But I'm so excited!!!!! Did I ever mention that I love my job?! Well I do and not a lot of people can say that these days. I've been doing the happy dance since yesterday!

Now for some crochet talk.
I have been working on my corner to corner ghan still, and while I've also been unpacking I still have not found my border yarn. ugh! But I did find my four square ghan that I was working on so much before I moved so I will be working on it before long. yeah! I really like that ghan and I haven't decided if I'm going to sell it or give it away for a xmas gift.

Sorry for the pause, but that second cup of coffee was calling my name! Yes today I was going to sleep in, I don't have to be a work till this afternoon, my son has no school today, so what a better thing to do than sleep in? Guess what? I woke up at 3:48 am. And I usually get up at 4. So I didn't get to sleep till my usual time of gettin up. So I thought oh well I'll fix my pot of coffee and go get on the computer and chat and look for patterns, I just love doing that. :)
Have a great day!

Ok, Here is some almost news

Today I will hopefully have some good news too share. I will know more when I get home from work, so be on the look out either later today or tomorrow morning for my good news and if it turns out to be not good I'll let you know that also. Keep your fingers crossed for me!!!

What's been going on

Good Morning everyone,
That is if I still have any readers. I know I'm very bad at posting, but life just gets so busy sometimes. Since I last posted we have moved and that has taken up most of my time. I'm still not completely unpacked yet. I have been doing some crocheting, when I really should be unpacking. LOL. But I have been making kerchiefs, cause I wear them at work, and one of the ladies that I work with wears them too so I make them for her. I have also been working on my corner to corner ghan that I had to frog half of, it's starting to look a little more like it did before I had to frog it. But even if I get it done soon I'll still have to find my yarn for the border. It is still packed up somewhere. :( I have also been trying to throw away alot of stuff while I'm unpacking, and you wouldn't believe how much I have thrown away and I still have sooooo much stuff.
I have got to get some batteries for my camera and then I'll take some pictures of my kerchiefs so that you can look at them. Many different colors.
Well gotta go. I'll try really hard to start posting more.

More photos

Here are 3 beautiful pictures taken at the river where hubby and I go camping. See the rope swing? Yes I even jumped off of it and let me tell you, that river is COLD! But it was fun and I'd do it again.

You know being on dail up SUCKS! But I did finish square #3 while I was waiting for the pictures to load up.

Now I have to tell you I have a new addiction, as though crochet isn't enough. LOL. I am so addicted to Guitar Hero II. My boys got me to try it and I love it. It could have something to do with the fact that when I was younger, my dream was to be in a band. I love to sing, but I don't sound good at all, so that is why I never went for it. But we all have dreams. So anyway, I'm still in the easy level, and I'm doing good on the song "Crazy On You" by Heart. I'm over 90% on the song. The first time I did "Freebird" I only got 61%, I can now finish the song, but my percentage is less than 90 %. I did do one song on the medium level, I even placed in the top 5, 5th to be exact. Then my youngest son played it and knocked me out of the top 5, he just had to do that. :)

Hi everyone,

See that bass?! Yes I caught him last week. Hubby held him while I took the picture. :) He weighed about 1 1/2 to 2 lbs. I did let him go but I sure was proud of him. ☺ I have more pics to share and I will later but since I'm on dail up it takes a while for them to load. Cause I have some of the river that I think are beautiful. It is so quiet and peaceful there. I think you will love them too.

I have been crocheting also. I am trying to get a ghan done that I have been working on for some time now. It is made with scrap pieces. It will be 4 squares that I will put together when they are done, can't wait to show you a pic of it. So I'm really trying hard to get it done. I'm almost done with the third square. Not to much more to do. And then I will have to decide what border to put on it. I'm still trying to decide on that one.

That's all for now. I'll try to share more photos later.

Well I went and did it again

Yes I know I've been a very bad blogger. :( But first let me explain. During the month of May, I was working so many hours that I just didn't have time to post. During the month of June, I had no internet, turns out that it was fixed for about $10. That was a relief, and during the month of July and the first part of August I have been tring to catch up on my emails. I had over 600. I still don't have them all read but I only have a little over a 100 to go.
Now as for my crocheting. I have been making a lot of kerchiefs, cause we are able to wear them at work instead of hairnets. woo hoo. I'll get a picture of all that I have made for you later. My corner to corner ghan, well I ended up frogging almost half of it, and am having to redo it. But it is getting there. I started making a couple of bags, for myself, but they will probably end up going to someone. They always do.
And of course I have been doing as much fishing as possible. Haven't caught to many but I still have a great time.
I will try to get some pictures up as soon as possible.
Till next time.
