STASH!

It has been quite a year for Stash-Busting! I ended up selling a Lot of yarn on eBay and I also had a couple Yard-Sales. I am down to about 11 Containers of yarn.

Update, Again!

Well it has been another 4 months since I have posted.

I was officially Divorced March 18, 2009.

I lost my job at Sonic on April 7, 2009. The day After my 28th Birthday. The came in and told me they were buying out my 23% of the store and I couldn't work there anymore. I worked for this Sonic for 6 years straight, and now My Girlfriend isn't even allowed on the lot. I won't spend any money there since they told her she had to leave and they couldn't serve her.

I Started working at my new job at Shell 4 Weeks ago. It's not too bad of a job, we are under new management already, since the Manager and Assistant Manager walked out last Monday! The new Manager is nice though, seems to really care about the store and always makes sure we have product on our shelves!

Nikolas will turn 8 years old in 4 Days! June 18, 2009! He will be in Florida with his Grandma and Papa. His Papa's daughter is getting married and he is tagging along. Vacation for him.
Nikolas has been taking Swimming lessons and doing GREAT!!! He can actually put his face under water completely, without holding his nose, and he can even open his eyes. (I can't even do that)

Thank you to the readers that actually read this! I appreciate the comments! Have a great Summer and I will update again in a couple of months if not sooner!

Update!

Well, holy geez a lot has happened in the last 9 Months! I cannot believe it has been that long since I have posted!

1. I took over as Working Partner at my Sonic Drive-in!
2. I am in the process of getting a divorce from my husband!
3. I now have a Live-in girlfriend, yes I did say girlfriend, I can't deny the fact any more that I am gay.
4. I moved into a town house apartment, believe my my 40 totes of yarn don't fit all that well, but I am going to make it work!

Nobody ever reads this blog I am sure, so it is probably pointless to post this on here but I figured I would post an update since it has been almost 9 months.

I am hoping to go through my stash of Yarn, Books, Hooks and Notions and get some things listed on eBay, but with working 50+ hours a week, having a girlfriend and trying to get my husband to let me see my son, its a bit much.

I love comments so if any one reads this leave me a message/comment!

Thanks,

Pamela

New Stash!

Well I had a happy Mother's Day Yesterday. I went to Wal-Mart and they had a Bunch of Red Heart Bijou for $1.00 a skein and I bought all they Had! :O 38 Skeins and I also got 2 skeins of Red Heart Kiss.
AND THEN...
I went to Dollar Tree and they had 6 Skeins of Patons Glittallic, 3 skeins of Patons Lacette, 32 Skeins Patons Silverlash.
So I purchased a total of 81 Skeins of yarn ! Happy Mother's Day to me!!! but that's a -162 Stash-busting points. And I still need to add up the other skeins I purchased at an auction and second hand shops.

D. A. V. Thrift Store Find

I went to the D.A.V. Thrift store today when I went to town and I got 44 crochet & Plastic Canvas Leaflets - I'll get some pictures posted as soon as I get around to sorting them! I was just so excited I had to post!

FO: Flannelghan

I finished the flannelghan I've been wanting to make since I finished the Sherbert flannelghan last year.
I used RH Super Saver Yarn in Claret (r) and Light Sage (g) I ended up using 4 and a partial of each color. I love the way it turned out. The edging is sc one row of gg, gr, rr




Leave comments on how you think it looks, I'd love to hear them.

OT: Movies

I just thought it would be fun to post the movies I watch and what I thought of them.

Death Sentence - Really a good movie if you like the shoot em up kill em dead type o movies (I do sometimes) Has Kevin Bacon in it, which was a pretty good role for him.

Sunshine - An interesting movie to say the least - You have to watch it to know what I'm talking about. Has Cillian Murphy from "Red Eye" and Chris Evans from "Fantastic Four"

On another note I am attempting to stash bust for the Stash-Busting CAL at the Ville. SO far I am at +4 which is pretty good for me. I have not bought any yarn at all this year, doing good 2 weeks in.

I'm trying to make some extra money from home, to pay for my Crochet Spending Habit! If you are interested in earning money by completing easy tasks and taking surveys click on the link below it contains my Referral code.

Edgery Doo & Baskets Too!

I received my Edgery Doo for Christmas today from my Mom. I can't wait to use it but I'll have to wait until I have more time.

MERRY CHRISTMAS


I got the Coolest Hanging baskets for my kitchen. They purchased the 3 Baskets from Hobby Lobby and my Dad attached the Chains so I could hang them!!!



don't mind the Dishwasher Utensil basket, I was unloading my Dishwasher and got so excited I just had to post a picture!

Share a Square

I think this is a Fantastic idea and I really want to help out. This Link to This Eclectic Life shares all the details and the Pattern for the squares. As soon as I finish my scarf for Amy I will start making some squares.

Fabulous Fringed Scarf

I started this Fabulous Fringed Scarf this afternoon and I am about 45% of the way done already - It is going pretty fast. I am using Lion Brand Trellis Yarn Rainbow Colorway (Pattern is for Caron Brand Fabulous Yarn) the starting chain used a K Hook and The rest is crocheted with a J.







I always seem to modify patterns to my liking - I think the pattern says to Crochet 102 for the starting chain I think I might have added an additional 20 chains to the starting. I didn't really count and I really don't think you necessarily have to anyways, I will make it as long as I want and as wide as I want. I will only be adding fringe to the ends not along the sides.

This is for my Manager's Girlfriend for Christmas, she is such a nice girl and I thought she would enjoy something hand-made. He already bought one of my coin purses for her for Valentine's day this year so I think she will enjoy the Scarf!

Library Thing

I've been a member of Library Thing for One Week now and I think it's the coolest! I've already added over 300 of my Crochet Books/Leaflets to my Library! I even decided to become a Lifetime Member because My Crochet Library is always expanding and I have so many shelves in my actual Library at home to fill up!!!

Update: Christmas Cards!

I've received so many cards - 18 Cards so far, from the Crochet Club on eBay and My Fellow Villagers at Crochetville! I couldn't ask for better Crochet-Friends!!!

Oh, Christmas Tree!

Lookie what I got today at Wal-Mart a New 7.5 Foot Donner Fir!

Christmas Cards

I have Received 4 Christmas Cards so far this year from my fellow Crocheters in the Crochet Club on eBay! I was just soo excited I had to share!

Christmas Presents

11-25:I am making a few Coin Purses for co-workers at Sonic and I thought I would post them on here when I was finished.
11-29:I am using snaps on the flaps instead of buttons on these! I'll see how they work out, if the ladies like them then Great, If not I'll go back to buttons.
