Pink Saturday

Today I am going to take a break from the pink to honor all of those that have been touched by 9-11.

I couldnt get this video to upload on here. This is a very touching song/video. Please take a moment to view it. Darryl Worley- Have you forgotten.

Also, here is a photo that my friend has as his facebook profile pic. I liked it & wanted to share it.

No one will ever forget.

I would also like to thank all the soliders out there fighting, standing up for the USA!!

Next Saturday will be pink again. If you want to join in the pink fun, please visit our pink host at: http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/my_weblog/

Fair warning, I am back!

 Fair warning, I am back! Can't wait to start looking thru everyone's blogs. It will take awhile to get all caught up. We took about a 14 road trip (with 2 kids & 2 dogs, yes, we are nuts) to visit my mum and my little brother. I guess I should stop calling him little now that he is 22 yrs old and towers over me. lol Everyone had a nice visit. The kids loved spending time with my mum and their uncle during pool time, roasting marshmellows, and swimming under the stars. I do not have many photos that I can share on here from the trip but here  are two of the view from my mum's back yard. She lives on a sound.

The kids have started another school year. They school at home thru a public online charter school. It works for our family & we love it! My son is in 4th grade & my daughter is in Kindergarten! Hopefully this will be an awesome year!!

Labor Day 2010 was fun for us. We went to our city's parade. Huge hit! Then off to visit with my grandparents. The kids love going to their house. I helped my grandma scan some photos & burn them onto a disk. It was nice looking thru black and white photos!! I do have a photo to share from the visit. My grandpa made this little gnome door & windows! Isnt it cute?? He is pretty talented when it comes to woodwork.

On the knitting front~ I have been working on baby bibs(I know shocking) for all my friends having babies. Also on a few items for Crafting Sunshine. A group on Ravelry featured Crafting Sunshine for their Sept. charity. Keep out this post for more information! As always, Happy Knitting!

Will be back in full force on the 1st!

Sorry everyone for not posting lately. We are very busy with getting things ready for the school year, end of summer yard work & housework, prepping for  the ALS Walk, running Crafting Sunshine, and tons of other events and chores. I miss looking at everyone's blogs, blogging, and down time right now! Everything will calm down around the 1st of Sept. Can't wait to get back in touch with all of you in the blog world around then!! Knitting is the only thing keeping me sane right now. As always, Happy Knitting!

New GEICO Piggy Commercial

Okay, I know this has nothing to do with knitting but I had to share anyway. My kids are amused by this commercial. It's cute. Well, it's cute the first time but after your kids try to reenact it while in the van or around the house, repeatly, it is no longer amusing to this mummy. LOL!!

I guess you would love a knitting update. I know you will just not be able to go on with the rest of your day without knowing what I am woring on. On the needles is a shawl for Crafting Sunshine, that should be finished this evening. Then working on blocks, and a lap blanket. All of this is done with donated yarn! Thanks to everyone for supporting Crafting Sunshine!! It warms my heart & as always, Happy Knitting!!

Sorry ladies. It has been awhile since I have posted. I have been busy getting my charity up and running. It is going very well!!  People are showing an interest & helping! It warms my heart to know others care about others and want to help!! If you have a minute, please check out my charity's blog, Crafting Sunshine.

IT'S PINK SATURDAY!!! My pink today isn't truely mine. It's pink yarn that was donated to Crafting Sunshine. It's just so pretty that I had to share it. This photo doesn't show the lovely pink and how awesome it looks against the brown in the yarn. Trust me, it's drool worthy!   Please visit Pink Saturday's host at http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/my_weblog/!!

Another part of Pink Saturday is to pick another PS blog that you enjoy reading. Today, my pick is Maison Mutt. Her post today is about the World's Longest Yard Sale and her awesome finds! Please look at you other dog related post!!

On the knitting front: I have made my first chemo cap!!! Currently working on a second one. Click here to see two pics of the first one. The local children's hospital is in need of chemo hats. So, if you feel like making one, please do. More information here.

I am off to catch up & read about weeks worth of everyone else's blog posts! Happy Pink Saturday's Ladies & as always, Happy Knitting!!

Happy Pink Saturday, I'm a Winner, & Knitting Update.

Happy Pink Saturday, Ladies!!! Pink Saturdays are hosted by How Sweet the Sound.  My pink for today is something I won! Happy dance time! The blog contest was held at Fishing and Wishing. The blog has daily contest. Check it out sometime. The prize was three custom homemade soaps from SassySoaps1184. She has a Etsy store at SassySoaps1184. Her prices are pretty reasonable, I think anyway. Two of the soaps were pink!!! They were a Pink Strapless Corset Dress Soap and a Pink Rose Soap. The third soap is huge! It's a water lily!! All three smell lovely and came in cute little bags. I'm sharing blurry pics because I couldnt get them to turn out correctly. Grrrrr.... at the camera because it couldn't be the user's fault! lol SassySoaps1184 has way better pics on her page.
Thanks to Fishing & Wishing & SassySoaps for the prize!

On the knitting front- I have finished a few more bibs. So hooked on the bibs right now, that my husband said he is starting to get worried. hehehehe No more babies for us. I think he forgot that we have tons of pregnant friends. At last count, we have about 42 babies coming into this world this year thru friends and family. That might be why my husband makes sure I drink bottle water instead of the local tap water. LOL!!! Also working on a cat blanket for Crafting Sunshine. The yarn was donated to them as well. As always, Happy Knitting!!

Opinion on background & knitting update

Ladies,
Thanks for all the links for backgrounds!!! I actually went thru all of them and didnt fall in love with any background, yet. What do you think of this one? Is it to bright? I would love your opinion since you will see the background more than me.

On the knitting front. I have finished a baby hat for Crafting Sunshine. I also made one baby boy bib last night. Hopefully will finish another on tonight. The bibs are going to a friend from highschool that is having their second boy soon. It seems like everyone around here is having babies. I refuse to drink the water right now. LOL!!  Will post pics soon of the hat & bibs. Happy Knitting or whatever you do :)
