The start of things...

Not sure how long this blogging is going to take this time but I hope that I will atleast do a post every Thursday. Maybe?

I would like to tell you everything that has gone on since I last blogged but that would just be way too long and I don't have that great of a memory. :) The one thing that I will say is I bought a house about 7 months ago. So if you look below you will see a section called Around the House so I can talk about everything I need to vent about being a new home owner. :) Not only inside but outside as well.

What I am working on -

Right now I am knitting the Evenstar Shawl by Susan Pandorf out of JaggerSpun Zephyr Wool-Silk 2/18  in the Jade colorway. Thanks to Tami for getting my ass to pick it back up again after the HUGE fiasco I had during the KAL a few years back. Whatever would go wrong, DID go wrong. Luckily I am a better knitter and have awesome friends to help me out. :) I am now on Row 6 of chart 3. Not bad for 5 days of knitting.

Ankle socks for ME. Super Simple Short Sock on Ravelry made out of Tofutsies in a rainbow colorway. Using 2.5mm needles. I have one row of the cuff done LMAO

I also just joined the Wendy Knits Mystery KAL and I'm thinking of knitting that out of some Gritty Knits NOM yarn I have. LOVE this yarn. It's an MCN base and so soft. I'm in the Every Other Month club as well as the Nomlet club. :)

 I have so many other things but the shawl and ankle socks are the only active things on my needles.

Awesome news.....MY WHEEL IS FINISHED!! OK so this pic doesn't show the flyer on BUT it shows the best color with the bad lighting and flash. Threw some SW Merino fiber on the wheel to get back in the groove of things and then I can't wait until TDF. My goal is to catch up with the 12 lbs in 2012 group challenges. That means I have atleast 3 pounds to spin. HAHA:)

What do I spin next? Hmmm....

Around the House -

Right now we are working on redoing the whole laundry room. Floors, ceiling, paint, trim...THE WORKS!! When we first moved in we wanted to do Shades room but found a roof leak into her room and mold inside her walls on the insulation. Found we need a whole new roof and until that is done we can't do her room :( SO laundry room it is LMAO.

Well....

Tomorrow I move into my new house. :) Yes it needs some work but it has ENDLESS Potential..

Pic below is the front of the house. OK, not the greatest but I took it from my camera. The fence, the pool and that white building are getting torn down in the spring. Pool is to close too the house for my liking anyway.



Here is the back of the house. It was built in 1966 so the siding could be redone, but since we are only renting and its a place to stay that is the last of my worries. :)



Here is the BEST part(at least for me). THE BARN!!! So it's 30' x 60' and has one horse stall inside and a sheep pen. Jim (the owner) said I can put more stalls in. I'm thinking another 3 stalls, so four all together. Sheep pen is coming out so I can build a new one. The renters before us kinda....well no they really trashed the place. no electric or water to the barn anymore but Jim is having that fixed in the spring. :) They have old rusted wire fencing up right now which I am replacing with wooden/electric fencing, in the spring. :)

Soo ..... plan on boarding horses and having sheep for their wool. :) OH YEAH. Plus I was told I should get a goat to eat the poison ivy. Do they really do that? If they do that will be a must.

OH and here is just a cute pic of Shade. :)

MORE UPDATES OF THE HOUSE TO COME. :)
