Decisions Decisions

I mean yeah I am not working anymore except as a care giver for my husband which is a 24/7 job but I still have to decide what to make knitting wise this weekend. I mean do I start on the all white with some accent colors baby blanket or do I start with one of the bracelets. If I start with one of the bracelets which one do I start on? So many choices and I even have to find the crafting floss to go with every thing. Man, this is going to be one hectic fun weekend.

That and I have class EVERY Saturday this month on a CERT class can't wait yet at the same time I am totally nervous about it LOL

WOW!!!

I didn't realize that it has been this long since I was posting the last blog. We have been really busy trying to get out knitted items on Etsy. I have the shop there but I do not have any good pictures of the items to be able to put up. I have a local hair dresser close to my mother-in-law that is actually showing and selling my items for me. Its great and just recently a mission in Northern California that has a gift shop has begun selling the items for me as well. Which means, when I can and not at Bomball in Torrance, CA blogging away you will find me knitting. Currently I am selling knitted beaded bracelets as well as my boas, flat scarves, and the twisted sister scarf. I am also starting to make recycle bags in many different patterns of fabric. As soon as I can I will try and take a picture of a completed one so you can see what I am selling along with all of the knitted items. I will even try and post some pictures of the mini surf boards that the hubby makes for your key chains. He is getting really good at making them. I had one on my set of house keys until he gave it to a REALLY close cousin on his side.

Who knew that someone that wasn't family would actually like what I make.

The hubby at the beginning of the year had a PTSD/TBI moment outside of the apartment one night and ended up cutting his arm and toe badly to where I had to take him to the ER and get stitches in his toe. But, they could not put the stitches in until 4 hours after we got there since the toe would not stop bleeding. It was because he ended up losing almost all of the nail on that toe and the skin holding the nail to the foot. It was bad but he has healed and is actually getting a nail back.

My little guy Sarge has actually turned 7yrs old at the end of August and he still thinks he is a puppy. He has two kitty friends that are his best friends. Well, he thinks they are they are still getting used to them. Well, one day he was chasing them and ended up doing something where he actually ripped off a good chunk of his toe nail so he had to be taken to the doggy ER at a local vet and there they cleaned him up and I believe even saudered the wound so it would get better faster. He had to walk around for about a week or two in a bandage cast that he kept trying to nibble on. But, he is better now and still loves trying to play with those two kitties. And he LOVES going camping with us. Which is fine because when I am trying to make things for dogs he is my little doggy model and I can go in from there and modify things. Well, that is if he sits still long enough for me to put it on him and see how it looks.

I am glad that you are following me and you can find me at ETSY here: lolcreations4you.etsy.com or you can email me any time at: lolcreations@live.com

Sorry to all that it has been so long since I have posted. Its just that I have been busy getting everything in order to start selling some of the items that I have knitted as well as knitting baby blankets for the babies that are being born into a military group I am part of. With all of that my hubby and I have been oh so busy. I promise that I will keep posting more things here as well as link my twitter account here.

One day closer

OK its one day closer to going to Stitch N Pitch at Dodger Stadium. Here is the link http://www.stitchnpitch.com/. That way you can see if there is going to be one near you and when it is going to be. I can't wait last year I had fun at it and can't wait. I wonder what we are going to be getting. Last year we came home with some awesome goodies. One was a knitting bag that said Stitch N Pitch Dodgers and also a Namaste Knitting Tube. That I have to tell you is awesome. It holds a lot of needles and at least one ball of yarn. That way you can keep all of your needles as well as your project all in one easy to carry tube. Here is the Namaste link: http://www.namasteinc.com/products/accessories/accessories.php. It is a great company.

Right now I am working on a nice pattern called the simple Shawlette. The only thing is that I cannot share the pattern with you but I can share my photos with you once I get them taken since the creator put it as no share but purchase only. Which I don't mind at all I am actually happy that she did that way she can make some money off of her creativeness.

Well, all I am going to end here for a bit since I am hungry and also curious if Joe is out of his meeting yet or not.

Wow

Wow everyone it has been so long since I have recently posted anything. I am so sorry about that but I can say that it has gotten better here since I am working on many projects at once. Lets see my baby blanket of love one that I recently finished I was able to complete in 5 days. I was in kinda of a rush because when the baby shower was scheduled or so I thought was a week later. Well, I was wrong so I spent every waking moment when I was not at the new job finishing that blanket. I am glad that I did since the soon to be mommy was very happy to have received it. I Will attach photos below so you can see it. Just know that the photo quality is not that great on my phone.

Now I am also working on 2 baby blankets for two more of the guys that are part of the awesome group 911 Help America Foundation. It is an awesome non-profit organization that takes care of solider that have recently come home and have PTSD and TBI from the Iraq/Afghanistan war. Also know as, OIF/OEF. Both of the men that are getting the blankets for their wonderful babies have been through so much and deserve so much yet ask for little. This is something that I can do since I know what they go through since I have my husband and we are part of this organization.
And to boot I am also working on another shawlette for myself since I loved the pattern that I was given and even though my first one has a little bit of a special mess up in it I really do love it. As soon as I can I will post pics of progress as well as pics of the finished original blanket as well as pics from Stitch 'N' Pitch which is this Friday. I can't wait last years was awesome this year I now will be just as good if not more than awesomer ( I know not a real word but still) than last year. More later. I just can't focus right now since I have not eaten and I am waiting for the hubby to arrive with my lunch whenever that will be.

Sarge's Blanket

I recently realized that now that we have had Sarge for a bit I have not made him anything and he tends to currently steal the blanket that I had made for Joe. So I looked around and found the perfect pattern for a blanket for him and am currently working on it. As soon as I can I will link the pattern here as well as show progress on it as the time passes

Lately

Sorry to all that have been reading our posts and sadden that there has been nothing going on here.
Well, everyone rejoice for there is now an update on us:
We rescued a doggie that we have named Sarge from the San Pedro pound on August 28th, 2009 here is what the adorable and every one loving dog looks like:
Here he is with one of his cuddle buddies Quack Quack.
After we got him we went through a though spot and were very happy to have him since it made it easier to not stress as much. Now we are stress free and better off. Vanilla Bean is doing good and thriving and enjoying time he gets with Sarge while he gets to roll around in his ball.
I have recently completed an awesome design by no other than the creator
of Knitting Wounded Yarn. As soon as I can I will post pics of it and also a link to her site so if you like how it came out ask her to purchase the pattern from her.

Have a good nite and day until I post again
