Mothers Day Gift In Action!

My mother's day gift came a week early this year but it hasn't been nice enough outside for me to use it...until today.

becomes this


after I use my brand new edger. Oh yeah...mommy's got a brand new toy and it kicks ass!

And just in case my wonderful man of mine needs a hint about what I'd like for my birthday...


...just look at this picture and try not to laugh. Do they make safety glasses in pink?

Fetching.

I love knitting for those who appreciate the hand knit gifts. It makes me happy. I received a voice mail from a very excited mom who just got her mothers day gift...

...a pair of fingerless gloves to keep her hands and wrists warm while in the office. In the past I haven't always been the most attentive daughter during this holiday so I wanted to do something nice. There's an "i love you" and "you rock mom" in every stitch.

On the home front, C and I have started to weed through our belongings. Needless to say we are going to have a kick ass yard sale. It's amazing how much stuff we have that we don't actually use!

I also received the mortgage paperwork today. Holy crap. This is happening. I'm about to incur a mass amount of debt. Breathe veronica, breathe!

house, bubble wrap and of course...knitting

It has been a crazy stressful week. I haven't been too motivated to blog but there have been a few things I needed to get off my chest.

First off...IT WAS ME!


I was the one who covered Miss Kate's cube with bubble wrap. She left for two months in Korea, how could I not do something! I wasn't there when she first walked through the door, but I can only imagine the look on her face. Yes, I am a stinker!

Second. I spent some money and ordered the Georgian Sampler from Knit Picks. How could I not when my knitting Guru Keri created the patterns for it!

I already finished the lace hat but can I tell you how difficult it was for me? Perhaps I should knit lace AFTER the kids have gone to bed. That would alleviate the numerous times I had to rip this thing back due to missed stitches!

I also finished some Fetchings for my mom. It's a surprise for mothers day so I'll post the pics once she gets them!

Last, but not least, C and I are buying a home! We found a very cute three bedroom ranch in St. John's. The offer was accepted and the inspection is next week. Both C and I are in shock and the amount of work still left to be done is staggering. But needless to say we are both relieved the search is over and excited to own a home.

Did I mention the house comes with a jacuzzi? :-)
