NOT sewing...

I wish I could play with my sewing machine, but the couple of times I have tried, I have gotten nowhere. I can take classes (for free!), but the class is only on Mondays, and my husband worked last Monday, and tomorrow. Maybe next week?

Christmas

For Christmas I got some shoes, and a Luther Vandross CD set and a key to my husband's heart



The kids had so much fun!

I have lots of pictures on Facebook.

Finishing!!!!

I finished a hat for Ayanna (no pictures, yet, because she is napping). I made A LOT of progress on a sock for me. I am about two inches in on a hat for DeAndre'. It feels soooo good to actually see progress! Malik says he doesn't want a hat, but I will have made hats for all my children, so I found one on ravelry and will be knitting it up as soon as I am done with DeAndre's. At this rate, it will be done in time for Christmas.

What did I do this for!!!

My son works at Goodwill. Therefore, I am often there to take him lunch when he forgets (which happens often), and pick him up.

Guess what I saw?







More importantly, guess what I bought!!!!?!!!

I couldn't resist it at only $40! Now I need to find it a home, and get some material, and some thread, and a book or two from the library, and some....

(AAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!)

Some finishing

Well, I didn't do so hot at NaBloPoMo, but I am still here, so...

I finished two things this weekend:


This is a hat for a squirrel. Don't ask, my sister is a bit crazy




These were going to be gloves for Kandyce to go with her hat (see below). They are now going to Ayanna.

I finished this hat for Kandyce a week or two ago
