New Yarns

went to Webs this afternoon, spent half a million, lots of yarn for christmas. yippie, i think i will go cast on my first christmas scarf!

off to the dentist, ick this is not going to be fun, i frogged Christians blanked, that black and green thing, i am doing a different pattern now, it reminds me of Frankinstein.

Christmas is comming....

need to start planning christmas projects
Carol- woven trellis

thats about it on my gift list, if i have time perhaps i will do projects for FIL and SMIL dont talk to them much though, dont think we have spoke since i married son a year ago...
too much to do not enough yarn. will go to webs Thursday, also need to start cleaning house more often, i should make a schedule. yeah right.

i have been reading way too much Potter, and last night i watched movies 2 & 3 i was actually quite disappointed, while they left out so much, i had to keep pausing the movie and telling Paul what was really going on and why. this upset me. but thats what they always say, the books are way better than the movie, and i must whole heartedly agree with this.

Bad Blogger

i know i am a bad blogger, i have been so wrapped up in Ravelry, i have been putting my stash in which has proved to be nearly impossible since i have a horrid habit of tossing labels.

Ravelry

i got into ravelry

busy little bee

we'll start with knit, i am knitting this scarf, i know it looks weird, i have to knit in the round five of those long things about 90 inches each then braid them and knit together at the end, its going to take me a year i know it!

Crochet, i call this the ugly blanket, its for my friends son, he picked the colors, black and neon green, its hideous , but he likes the colors so whatever. i am doing it a giant granny square because thats quick and i have about a month to finish it.

and here my pride and joy, the blanket i completed for marcella, its adorable, i cant wait to give it to her, i am just blocking it now.

today is a dreary day, i think i will take some pictures. see you later with some pictures.

diet

i have been limiting myself to around 1200 calories for about a week now, a couple times i found myself at 900 and it was almost bed time, so i had to eat something, then theres days like yesterday after i entered in my dinner (which was super good for me) and then the snack i forgot i had, i was at 1400. DH thought it would cheer me up to take me to the mall, i wanted to try on the ball gown that i think is amazing, it looks beautiful on the mannequin (doesn't everything) and i looked like a cow, i tried on teh XL because i have huge knockers and i knew a L wouldn't hold them in, well i was seriously depressed after that, see this is why i have no new clothing, it depresses me to go shopping, i want to cry because i look huge in clothes, i am also convinced that dressing room mirrors have some secret conspiracy that makes you look fat. it took everything in me to not come home last night and binge on ice cream.

update

ive been busy mom and dad are gone, i'll update with pics later for now share in my excitement of 7 pounds lost!
