Busy Knitting

I have been super busy knitting and I even did a little crocheting.  I met with Susan and a facebook friend Laura last saturday to just sit and knit.  It was a blast.  I finished 4 projects since I last blogged.  

First, a pair of socks for Liz, knit out of merino, nylon and cashmere 

Next is a dress for Becca's baby for Aunt Michele


Next is a dress for little Gianna...I just love the blue!!!


And finally, I took leftover yarn and crocheted a mat for in front of my sink.  I think I'll put it in front of the bathroom sink as it's smaller than I thought.  The sides are a little wonky because I used different weight yarns, but nonethe less, it was a fun project.
Now, I'm more of a knitter than a crocheter...but I did get a book out of the library, so hopefully it will help  me brush up on my skills a bit.   

In other news, I am finally over bronchitis, Allie is getting over strep and Krista has had a fever and vomiting.  I kept her home from school Monday, but as the day progressed she looked and felt better.  So I sent her Tuesday.  I took Cosmo to get groomed and like 10 minutes after we walked in the door, I get a phone call from the nurse that she has a fever again, so it looks like she gets another day off.

Angelina gets her braces this morning, and Allie has a regular ortho appt.  We also have our final team meeting with Carla and Lisa (Liz can't make it) to discharge Angelina from services.  The therapy has been really helpful and I'm really glad it's something I initiated.

I'm still going to my groups, doing really well.  I realized that no matter what is going on around me, I need to concentrate on myself, put myself first and take care of me.  If I don't do that, I'm not good to anyone else.  It seems to be working well.  If only I could get this sleep issue fixed than I'll be good to go.

Angelina, Allie and Anna are doing Golden Elks Pop Warner Cheer.  They have a competition in May at Great Adventure.  Tammy is going to go with me, that way we can have a fun day and I don't have to worry about it being too much.  It's hard to disappear for the day, but I'm sure Bob will hold down the fort just fine.  I'm so excited.  The last time I was at Great Adventure was with Tammy, Steven and Alex, way before I was married.  Probably in 1995 or 1996.  Crazy.

That's about all.  I should try to go back to sleep.  It's 4am.  Mark got up a little bit ago and is now sleeping in my spot, so I'll have to move him over.  I just love snuggling with him.  When he comes into my bed at night, he has to be snuggled against me, touching me somewhere.  I just love it.  I cherish those moments...I know they will not last too much longer.

I'll blog more soon.  I'm trying to figure out my next projects.  I really want to build up my etsy business, so I'm thinking of knitting up some stock for that.  I got a book about that from the library, brand new, so maybe I'll read that before picking up my needles again LOL.  

Goodnight!!!  Errr, I mean, Good morning!!!
