Project 52 / Week 2

2011-01-15T23:05:00.004-06:00

Also this one cracks me up. He think sticking his finger up his nose is funny cause it grosses me out.

School Tomorrow

2011-01-11T20:14:00.001-06:00

So a new semester starts for me tomorrow. Finally have some history classes. Super excited and a little nervous. Wish me luck!

Project 52 / Week 1

2011-01-10T20:56:00.002-06:00

And the one that didn't make the cut but is still <3.

Long time no see

2011-01-10T20:51:00.003-06:00

I am going to make another attempt at this. I have been inspired lately by my love, Nikita, and my wonderful sister to try my hand at blogging yet again. I have also started a 52 project of my son Lucas so I figure that will help at least get one post a week. Wish me luck!

Meh..

2009-03-20T01:57:00.002-05:00

Couldn't sleep, so sat up and made a new template. Not finished with all the sidebar stuff but it can wait for tomorrow. Need sleep.

Today

2009-02-09T17:13:00.003-06:00

The land lady called today and said our application was approved! :) So looks like we are going to be signing the lease and such on the 20th. Dunno if I am gonna be able to last 11 days lol I wanna move in NOW!

Nikita came and picked me up to go to Target so I could add stuff instore to my registry. I <3 her! Now I am sitting at home, going back and forth between chatting on aim and cleaning. Fun fun.

Found

2009-02-05T23:36:00.009-06:00

Found the apartment we wanna live in today, 2BR/1BTH, washer and dryer, dishwasher, walk-in shower(though I will miss having a bath tub probably), also it is on the first floor so no lugging groceries/baby up and down stairs... I am going over there tomorrow to turn in the application and security deposit. Here is what it looks like.

House/Apartment Search

2009-02-05T07:07:00.002-06:00

Went to the OB yesterday... all is well :) After I went by the hospital and chatted with a few old coworkers while waiting for Matt to get off work, then we went driving around to see if we could find any houses for rent or sale in one of the neighborhoods I like. We found a cute little house for rent that we are seriously thinking about. It is 2BR/1BTH, all wood floors, gas fireplace... the only thing we didn't love was the interior painting... every room was hand painted with some kind of theme/mural... don't get me wrong the paintings were nice... just not our style... but a few well placed prints/mirrors/paintings should for the most part take care of that. The only real thing that bugs me is that I can't remember if I saw a dishwasher in the kitchen... the past 2 places we have lived have not had dishwashers and I know now I am not a good enough housekeeper to not have a dishwasher lol. Anywho there were also quite a few houses for sale in that area that we plan to check out so I will keep you posted on what we find :)

Pictures

2009-02-02T02:01:00.008-06:00

Nikita took some pics of me today :)

HUGE!

2009-01-26T10:58:00.005-06:00

I look huge in this pic lol

32 weeks.

Nikita was complaining that it had almost been a whole month since the last pic I took so there is the new one.
Been trying to get things ready for my baby shower that wonderful Linda and Nycole are hosting for me... I have registered at both Wal-Mart and Target online. Still need to go over to the stores themselves and see if I can add stuff that isn't on the sites cause Target only lets you add 'online only' stuff. My mom bought me this! She is awesome :)
Sleeping is getting harder and harder. I have really bad indigestion at night that no acid reducer can stop and my back hurts pretty much all the time. I feel bad for Matt cause he wants me to sleep in our room with him but then I toss and turn or my chest/stomach/throat make loud, funny noises. I have told him several times that I will just sleep on the couch so he can get better sleep since he has to get up in the mornings but he just gets all sad and cute. So I guess I will just wait till he can't take it anymore and kicks me out lol

Happy New Year

2009-01-02T00:18:00.003-06:00

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I had fun... well as much fun as you can have when not drinking on New Year's Eve lol Went to my brother's girlfriend's house for a small bash.

I am now 29 weeks along. Took a picture early in the day on New Year's Eve... please excuse the dirty state of my bathroom mirror lol

29 weeks

Been getting some knitting done. Made my hubby some socks for Xmas... don't have any pictures of them... will have him model them for me tomorrow. Also, I have started OpArt for my sister, about half way along on that.

23 Weeks

2008-11-28T13:15:00.003-06:00

Another pregnancy pic.

23weeks

Been knitting a lot but now that I have found my camera cord the batteries have gone dead and I keep forgetting to buy new ones lol.

Thanksgiving was pretty awesome. My brother and his kids came over earlier in the day and ate, then later Taylor, Nikita, and Brandan came over to hang out and eat dessert. I ate way too much and went to bed with my stomach too full which of course means I woke up feeling kinda icky but feeling much better now. :)

Coming out of hiding.

2008-09-30T09:31:00.002-05:00

We all know how bad I am at actually keeping up with these things.. and now I have a job to make it more difficult, but I have been knitting and I found out 4 months ago that I am pregnant so I actually have things to blog about.
Of course I have been knitting only baby items... and not even ones for myself but for my boss who is due in Dec. I don't have any pictures yet cause my cord for my camera is somewhere packed still. I will be sure to get some up asap though.

Moving

2008-05-21T14:35:00.002-05:00

No knitting has been done since last I posted. I am going to be moving back to AR in 2 weeks so won' be around much 'til a few weeks after we get all settled in.

Busy busy

2008-03-05T10:41:00.002-06:00

Been busy getting all the details worked out for a family reunion we are going to in April. Been buying plane tickets, making sure my dog can come with, making a vet appointment for her, arranging where we will sleep and such once we are there. I have been so excited and worked up about it that I honestly haven't even thought of knitting at all... which is odd cause I bet it would relax me a bit.

Meh...

2008-02-18T20:26:00.001-06:00

I honestly haven't been knitting much lately. :( Don't fret though I always get back into it. lol

Teaching

2008-02-03T11:13:00.000-06:00

Not much actual knitting has been going on lately but the little girl I mentioned is coming over later today for me to teach her how to knit. I will be sure to take pictures and such while she is here.

Plans

2008-01-28T16:30:00.000-06:00

I bought the Winter 2007 Interweave today. There are a few thing here and there that I would like to make but what really caught my eye was the book excerpt. It is the Alicia Tabard out of Knitting Little Luxuries. Probably going to be my next project. I love it!

Belle Beret

2008-01-27T13:36:00.000-06:00

Pattern: Belle Beret by Ysolda

Yarn: Knit Picks Andean Treasure [1 1/2 balls]

Needles: US 5 and 6 Denise Interchangeables

Notes: I followed the pattern except for the elastic. I really enjoyed knitting it, I especially love the band. I originally knitted it for my best friend for Christmas but loved it so much I made another for myself.

In Progress:

In Action:

When I finally send Nikita's to her I will make sure she takes pictures of her wearing it so I can put them up as well.

Minimalist Cardigan

2008-01-26T13:40:00.000-06:00

Started on this yesterday. It is the Minimalist Cardigan from Fall 2007 Interweave Knits. Knitting it in Caron Simply Soft Heathers in Deep Plum. I really wanted something simple and kinda mindless to work on while catching up on my TiVo'd shows. So far it is serving its purpose. Took a little calculating to get gauge cause I have noticed in the past that Simply Soft relaxes quite a bit after washing and i didn't want it to grow too much on me.

So last night I met a friend's 10 year old daughter who got really excited when she found out that I knit, apparently she crochets and has been wanting to learn to knit but didn't know anyone who knew how. So I told her I would teach her. I am kinda excited, she's sweet and seems really smart. I am sure she will pick it up pretty fast and it should be fun.

Intro

2008-01-26T13:25:00.000-06:00

Hi! I am Sharon, I live in Northern Maine, welcome to my new knitting blog. I have been knitting for about 3 and a half to 4 years but this is the first time I have blogged about it. I have spent a LOT of time lurking around other knitting blogs and I finally decided to take the plunge into making my own. So on to the real posts.
