Tangled

I began working on some crochet projects and after a small misunderstanding with wookie I ended up with a tangled mess of yarn. Sadly now instead of having one ball of yarn I have six because of all the cutting that had to be done to untangle the yarn. Luckily the project that I am working on has plenty of places for ends to be tucked into without noticing at all.

Oh my I'm pretty excited for tonight! Dog the bounty hunter's new season is starting. There is just something about the show that I just love. Right afterwards is the Steven segal show 'lawman'. Funny story about that when I first saw a commercial for his show I thought it said lawn-man. I was like ummm, how exciting can a lawn man be to have his own show.. .. ..
.. .. .. Well I guess it'd probably be about as interesting as a stay at home mom whom is a home body having a blog .. .. :)

A new week

The week is off to a better start than this weekend. School and fall germs are everywhere. We all seemed to take turns getting a slight cold bug and then a bug that was much much worse took over. I have done more laundry and given more baths and used more cool wash cloths to lower fevers than I have all year. I am slightly hopeful that the end of all this is in sight. There was 4 straight hours of sleep last night, which since all this started is actually very very good.

I can't wait to get back to my projects I started. I am begining a cactus garden! I'm really excited about it. I've had a few little single ones here and there. But, I'm going to take my time and build me up a pretty window cactus garden. I found some with amazing colors that I just couldn't stop thinking about.

I am thinking about tryng to grow a few more things indoors but I haven't quite decided if I can spare the space yet.

The laundry, baths and cool wash cloths are calling me back into duty . . . . . .

The Rain

The rain has pretty much taken over. Although in Washington, that's pretty expected. I mean how else would we have such greenery around here right? When it comes to rain it's necessary for me to mentally establish the benefits of it, otherwise it just seems like a downer sometimes.

My tomato plants have been drowned by the rain. My pretty pretty, slow growing, single yielding, temperamental tomato plants are officially out for the count.




I had four plants all together. I had a pear, a roma, a steak and a cherry tomato plant.






These were my plants. . . oh how I'll miss them. I'm thinking next year I'm actually going to try to have a makeshift shelter, more of a home for them. But for this year, my garden is down to two cilantro plants......

crochet dog

I've been working on crocheting the pattern of Werner the wiener dog from Amigurumi super happy crochet cute. it's been going rather well. I've chosen different colors than were suggested in the pattern to more closely resemble the wiener dogs in my life.







I'm half way through the main body piece, and have finished the head short of the facial details. The head is done all in the round which makes it both easier and a little tricky.
The body is unstuffed which makes the head to body ratio a little off. But things should look much better by the next post, my fingers are crossed.

First one!

Finally my first orange tomato!! Out of my four plants with plenty of small green tomatoes there is finally one that has turned orange! I'm so excited. I'm hoping for enough to make one really good salad, but I think I'll be happy with just this one :)

I haven't been feeling too terrific, just one of those colds that wont turn into anything serious but you cant quite shake either. But after making myself get up and be productive I had a rather nice day. I walked with the baby while Justice rode her bike. Afterwards I cleaned carpets, and reorganized my kitchen and laundry area. Not a bad day after all.

sunshine (on the inside)

It was a rainy day today. I barely was able to sneak outside long enough to take a couple pictures of my tomato plants. I have four plants that seem to be developmentally behind pretty much everyone elses plants. They are still very very green, and small. But they are trying and that's what counts!

I don't remember quite how my sister taught me how to post the pictures, but I'm going to try with the next post. I'll have to remember a few passwords and such but it should be do-able.

I've been working on a crochet wiener dog. I have finished the head minus the facial details and now I'm working on the main body piece. I had to take a break from it because my finger was beginning to get rather tender. I also took pictures of this project but I'll post the pictures and more details with the next post.

I'm going to get back to my night, I'm attempting to get back in to the swing of a school schedule. Thankfully I have one more practice night!!

Lots of work to do

I've just checked out my sisters blog again, and man oh man does mine need a lot of work!
