SlyDial

Ok, I have just learned of this thing called SlyDial.

Now, all I keep hearing about this is how it is the cowards way of contacting people. Personally I am sooo excited about it. I have been looking for something like this for soooo long. You see, my husband works at schools all day. He keeps his phone on all day long because thats how he and is coworkers have to contact each other thru out the day, which is necessary for his job.
There are times when I want to leave him a message, for instance, get supper before you come home, get diapers, get milk, or a simple I love you or Addie wants to say hi ; these are all just to help me out or to brighten his day. I love this new Technology. Yay!

Kool Aid

With inspiration from my friend Jeannie I decided to try my hand at Kool Aid dying. Don't those colors look divine? I am so excited that this worked out so well. The colors did not turn out quite as even as I expected, but I really like it that way. I am looking forward to dying some sock yarn in orange, that color was just beautiful!

Here is a picture of my finished socks. I am so proud of them!

Well, I have to go, Addie isn't feeling so well, and I have to figure out supper... And speaking of supper, check out this blog....

My Etsy Store

I have been working really hard the last couple of days designing new stitch markers for the LYS The Sassy Knitter and I decided to put a few on my online store Candi Creations, come by and see if there is anything that interests you, and I do custom orders too!

Wow, It's July

I am always amazed at how fast the time really goes. Well, over the past week and a half my mom-in-law came to visit. It was so great to have her here. Addie just loves it when Grandma visits. She gets to spend lots of quality time while mommy and daddy get to go and eat. Well, when that night came, we wanted to go out for our anniversary a few weeks late. While getting ready we got a call from some friends wanting us to go eat with them, so we said sure! Come to find out they had recently gotten engaged and wanted to share the news with us first hand. Good God is her ring beautiful! It is so big and shinny. Of course I would never trade mine in but wow, he did a great job picking this out. He took is Mom to help him decide. He did very good.

Well, on to the rest of the week, we went to the zoo. It was Addison's first trip and all she did was bark at all the animals whether they were barking or not. She enjoyed to bird exhibit especially the Lorikeets, you know where you feed them from a cup? I thought that she would be scarred, and she did jump a bit when they flew past but over all she did great!

When Grandma's visit came to an end she was quite sad. When I asked her if she missed Grandma she rolled her hands, like you do in Pat-a-cake, Grandma and her always played that, it made me cry.

Ok, now onto the fiber stuff!

I finished my first sock. I started on my second and had to redo it about 4 times. I just wasn't paying attention and kept forgetting to do the rib pattern, I kept knitting it. So I have casted on one more time and so far so good. I am paying more attention and hoping that I won't have to rip out and start again.

I also finally picked up my previous project of the Hairpin Lace Cardi Wrap. I am doing the Hairpin Lace version. I got frustrated with it a while back and decided to take a break from it. But now I am back at it, getting past the frustrating part and beginning on the sleeves. It will be done in no time at all. Plus I have all but finished Addie's Tank, just have to add the ties and I will be finished. I am so happy to have all these projects wrapped up. Just a few more projects to complete and I will be so happy!

May you all complete those things that you wish to have done!
