I'm Back!!!!

Hey all! I am so sorry I haven't been around. Everything has been soooooooo hectic. When we got back from our cruise I had soooooooooo much math make-up work to do. It was ridiculus. Today I had to take a science test of sexual reproduction. OMG. EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW. I was disgusted. I have gotten a lot of knitting done lately. I am also doing some stuff on my Knifty Knitter Looms. My sister bought two skeins of light blue Fun Fur and had planned on making a scarf on my little blue loom. About seven rows into it she stopped. That was about two months ago. Now, I need my blue loom. I told her I would finish up that scarf. When I am finished I plan on posting a picture, because...... MY CAMERA GOT FIXED!!!!!!! Right before we went on the cruise my dad fixed it. I have some pictures of the cruise I'll post when I get them downloaded. Audrey's birthday party was Saturday! It was so cute. I am going to get Eric to send me pictures. The theme was Little Einsteins. Very cute. I've got to go for now. Bye!

I'm Going On A Cruise!!

I am going on a cruise! I am going on a cruise! I will be gone from today until next Thursday, so I will not be able to post. I will be deprived from any computer. I think I will die. I am soooooooooooo excited. My parents have already been on this cruise and they say it is wonderful! By the way, Audrey's birthday is Monday!!!

Mrs.Ann's Dishcloths Done!

I fininshed knitting Mrs.Ann's dishcloths! They are so cute! I love them! Now I am knitting my mother's dishcloths. They are pretty cute. I am using diffirent blues all in one yarn with the creamy color mixed in. still using the ballband dishcloth pattern from Mason Dixon Knitting. I am so in love with that book.

My nine weeks exams are next Monday and Tuesday so I will probably be very busy. There is a zero to one percent chance that I will be posting. I will still be knitting away but not posting. So sorry in advance.

This week has been homecoming week! Yea! Monday was Tacky Day. Since I go to Clay-Chalkville, I wore a Hewitt shirt. Tuesday was Twin Day. Lindsey and I were twins! We wore oue Life is Good shirts, dark blue jeans, and our Crocs. Today was Generation Day! I wore my Goucho's and a teal shirt. I said I was from the eighties. My math teacher wore a dark blue poodle skirt. It was cute. Tomorrow is the night of the game. It is Cougar Spirit Day! I am good at that.

Bye for now!

I Am Making A Warshrag!!

I have caught the ballband craze! I am loving this pattern! I am making a set of dishclothes for a woman at my church who's aunt knits. She has made Mrs.Ann many knitted dishclothes but all of Mrs.Ann are sadly deceasing from use. She asked me to make her some so I am making a set of 4 ballband warshrags from the book Mason Dixon Knitting. The pattern is so fast! I already have it memorized. I am doing it in teal and cream and it is turning out great!!

You are going to think I am so weird. In my agenda book there is a little section for each week that says Weekly Goals and Priorities. For each week I have one or two Christmas listed that I plan on knitting that week! I am hoping that will get me through until Christmas. I decided that a cabled scarf would be faster to knit up than a hat, because I can do the scarf on size 10 or 11 needles while holding two strands of yarn together and make a thick warm scarf. So, that is what I am doing. I think for my teachers I will do a set of dishclothes each since they are fast. That can be my church knitting. I have so much cotton to buy! I can't wait!!

Bye for now!!

Making Myself Something!!

I am making myself something!! I know. Amazing isn't it! I am making the mitered square blanket from Mason Dixon Knitting. I may be crazy, but that is my plan. I am going to use up all of my Red Heart Super Saver. I made one today. It is big because I am using size 8 needles instead of size 6.

I am also officially freaking out! There is only 3 month's until Christmas and I still have 8 presents to make!!!! HELP!!!!!!!!!! (imagine Help! by the Beatles playing). I have 6 hats, one 1 Hour Shawl to make, and I set of dishcloths. I will probably be doing the hats towards late November. There is a good chance I will be knitting my dad's on Christmas Eve. I have decided to make all of my weekend knitting the blanket. I actually want it done before 2010. LOL.

I told a woman at my church that I would knit her a set of dishcolths so I should probably get that done. Sigh. I don't know when I will do that. Probably this week at school. Hopefully.

I need to go get ready for church tonight. By the way, check out Mariska Hargitay's blog!!

Hey!

I am sorry I haven't posted! I have been so busy! I am going away for two days to go to a coir trip at Sumatanga. I can't wait! Lindsey and I went to a football game to hear the band play, because why else would a girl go to a football game? lol. THE BAND DIDN'T PLAY!!!!!!!!!!!! I was soooooo mad!

In knitting news, I have made a hat using my own pattern. I will post it sometime. I am working on two baby kimonos. they are cool. gtg

Finished Two Presents!!

Last night I finshed my Aunt Laurel's Christmas present. She wears very dull colors so I made her a scarf in hot pinks and bright yellows and lime greens. It is called Wild! by Moda Dea. I used the color Hot Tamale. It is relly soft and pretty. I managed to finish it in a day! I used size 9 needles.

I went to Michaels today and found out that they have 16" bamboo circulat knitting needles!!! I bought sizes 8 and 10. I also bought 2 skeins of Red Heart Super Saver in a cream color and a wine color. They should make a cool Alabama football hat. My family are HUGE Alabama fans. I am making my Uncle John a cream colored hat and DaddyBIll gets an Alabama hat. Uncle Patrick gets a cream colored hat and Pop Pop also gets an Alabama hat.

At school, I made a 100 on my social studies test!!!! He he he!

Hey Everybody!!!

I am on the last dishcloth for my aunt!!! Hip hip hooray!! I can get 2 1/3 dishclothes out of one skein of Lily Sugar and Cream. That means I will have enough yarn to make another set for a lady at church.

Last night I had the worst nightmare! You know Audrey? Well, she is a major part. Now, listen.
I was in 4th period enrichment. I get a slip to check out. I gather all my stuff then go to the Welcome Center. My dad is there to take me to the hospital because Audrey was in a coma. I go and sit with her while Eric and Michelle go get something to eat. So I am sitting there telling her she has to wake up because Sarah needs her Audrey back and needs an Audrey hug. So, I am holding her hand when the song There's Holes In The Floor of Heaven starts playing. Suddenly she dies, while she is holding my hand. Next scene is at the funeral. I am sobbing. After the funeral I go to hug Eric and Michelle when Eric starts yelling at me! I run from the cemetery and hear the church bell ringing. Actually, it was my alarm.
Out of dream.

So, the dream started my day off nicely. Then my stomach hurt all day. It feels like when I mono in 5th grade. I did not have a good day.

That was the end of my day. I will have another pic of Audrey tomorrow. Hopefully no more continuations of that dream!!

Aunt's Christmas Present Going, Going, Going!!!!

I went to Michaels last night with Catherine and Nicole. I bought 4 skeins of Lily Sugar and Cream in Hot Blue, a pair of bamboo size 7 knitting needles, and a little one dollar journal with a beach chair on the front to have to write my knitting stuff in. I only spent twelve dollars, too!!!!!!!! I was so impressed. For my Aunt Monica, I am knitting 4 dishclothes, with the first intials of her family. My Uncle John, and cousins Michael and Clohe. I have finished Aunt Monica's M dishcloth and I am working on the J cloth. They are pretty cute!! I got the pattern from Knitting Knonsense. That is a great site!! I got the book Mason Dixon Knitting, I may have told you that, and I am going to knit a baby bib set for a teacher at my school. She is the home ec. teacher and knows how to knit, but I could knit something for her. I had her last year. I think I will knit the bibs in a cream color. They will be cute!!!

I was going through some old pics and found a cute one of me and Audrey at Easter. Isn't it cute!! She has grown so much since then! Her birthday is a little more than a month away. I am soo sad she is growing up!!

You are probably bored listening to me whine about her growing up. I don't really have anything else to talk about so I will go. Bye for today!!

Hey Ya'll!!!!

What up??? How are ya? I have gotten some crocheting done. I have decided to use a size J hook, and some little balls of yarn to make a cute little log cabin blanket for Fuggles. Speaking of Fuggles, is this not the cutest pic!! It's Eric, Audrey, and Fuggles at Animal Kingdom!! I luv it!!!

So far I have finished a bunch of Christmas presents. I have finished all of the kid presents, so now I am not to stressed out. I was just worried about not finishing the kid presents. All, I am saying is that Michael better say thank you, because that catterpillar was one of the most boring things I have ever worked on!!!!! I will post some pics of Christmas presents pretty soon!!

I am watching Cold Case Files. It is pretty good. I have learned that Without A Trace is pretty good. I like Detective Samantha Spade. She is pretty cool. The regular Law and Order is okay, too. I have learned to love Law and Order Criminal Intent. It is awesome. Oh, and congats to Mariska Hargitay on her Emmy!!!!!!!!!!!! I was sooooooo mad at the Emmy people for Christopher Meloni not winning!!!!!!!! I was like, screaming at the t.v.

Bye for now. I'll post tomorrow!

I Had A Really Crappy Day

and I am really not in the mood to talk about it so I will talk about my new favorite book, Uglies by Scott Westerfeld. I need to be getting to "bed", so I will lwave you with this thought. In a world of extreme beauty, anything normal is ugly.

So Sorry I Haven't Posted!!!

I have been soo busy with school!!! I haven't had time to get much knitting done. I am skipping a year of math and taking pre-algrebra when I already suck at math so my afternoons have been filled with homework. My mom has also been bugging me to clean my room for a few weeks now so I am "cleaning". Today I get to go to a wedding. My favorite little girl ever is going to be the flower girl though, so I will get to see her walk down the aisle in her little flower girl dress. If I can get Eric to send me pictures of her at the wedding I will post them.

In knitting news, I have not been knitting much of anything. I crocheted a pair of mittens to use as stocking stuffers for a charity that my church supports. E.A.C.M. (Eastern Area Christian Ministires) is a very cool organization. Every Christmas they collect things for children that they put in stockings. So far I have finished three pairs of mittens and a scarf. I am going to make myself finish at least four dishclothes next week. My parents are going on a cruise for my dad's 40th b'day so my little sister and I will have a baby sitter.

By the way, this is a new laptop. My old one died. That is part of why you have not heard from me. By the way, if you had a choice, what would you choose for the background color? You have until Labor Day to vote!

Pink

Baby Blue

On The SIN WAGON!!!

Hey! This is me and my bff Lindsey!!! We are broadcasting LIVE from the guest room, a.k.a the cave. Lindsey and I will do a joint post tonight all about school, Gilmore Girls, and Law and Order, plus other random things that pop into our minds.

Lindsey:
Hey guys!!! It's like almost 10:30 pm and Sarah and I are trying to come up with ideas for our fanfiction gilmore girls story. Ha Ha we started watching When a Stranger Calls but wimped out. I mean it is like 10:30!!! Anyways I've listen to the song Sin Wagon by the Dixie Chicks about 42 times now. Hence the title.

Sarah:
Hey guys!! Sorry about not posting. As it ended up we did go to Atlanta. We got soooo busy I haven't had a chance to post. I spent the night at a friend's house like three days in a row. Then we had to register and do all that junk. I ended up with pre-algrebla. I am very excited because Lindsey and I have like almost all of our all of our classes together. I can't wait. In case I haven't said anything I am also a HUGE HUGE Gilmore Girls fan! Lindsey and I discovered that was one of the many things we have in common. Lindsey's turn!!!

Lindsey:
Totally brain blasting right now me and Sarah are bursting with ideas. I think our story will be great!!
I'm so excited about school!! I know it is very late but I am awake. I just got registrated last tuesday. I went and got my id picture taken today. I WANT MY SCHEDULE!!! The story is long but I'll tell you why Sarah and I had to get our schedule redone.

At the end of the year we had just taken our math placement test and we both got 3 points which would only get us in honors math. We were kind of upset but we were happy with honors math. I know the pre-algebra teacher and she said she wanted us in her pre-algebra class next year. We were kind of upset and didn't want to be in pre-algebra but after a while we got used to the idea.

Fast foward to about now!!! We went to get registered and guess what!! Our schedules said we had honors!! We were shocked but happy we had 7 classes out of 8!! We told the math teacher what happened to our schedules and we said to leave. Next week we found out the teacher had changed our schedules. So now we are waiting to get our new schedules while we knit our elves.

Sarah:
I am knitting baby elves for me, lindsey, and our bff maegan. they are little two inch dolls. pretty cute pretty cute!! i am getting my camera fixed tomorrow. bye!!

love ya,
lindsey and sarah

Atlanta??

Well, it looks like Atlanta may be a no go. My mom has bronchitos and walking pneumonia. Fun. I am spending the night with my best friend Erin so I may be going to a new church with her. I really don't want to leave my new friend Kylie alone with Miranda though. You never knw. I may end up at Grace. I registered for school and discovered that Xan and Ruthie, the two people I hate the most right now, aren't in any of my classes!!!! Hip hip hooray!!!!!! I think I have SSS (Seconded Sock Syndrome). I really don't want to work on the seconded sock. I think I will make myself do two inches a night until I finish. I am making a felted clutch from the book One Skein by Leigh Radford for my secret pal. I am doing it in Landscapes. It is really pretty. I have to finish my hat today for Sara Deihl's birthday party Tuesday. I think she will like it.

Hat Started, Sock Finished

I finished my first sock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is really ugly but I like it. I have also started a hat from the book Kids Knitting. It is turning out pretty good. I am using up some old scraps of pink, yellow, orange, and purple. I like it so far. It is probably going to end up at a charity. I think some little girl will enjoy it. Still no luck with the camera. I asm hoping to get it fixed soon. We are going to Atlanta Friday so I should get some cute pics of my knitting in progress. GTG!!

Madame Knits-A-Lot!!

Hello everyone, you can call me Madame Knits-A-Lot! lol. I finished a pair of red and pink crocehted mittens a few days ago along with Catherine's Christams present. It is a hat from the book Kids Knitting. The author is Melanie Falick. I am now working on a wallet to use up scrap yarn from the same book. I have to register for school this Tuesday. I will finally get to see my two best friends Lindsey and Maegan. Shout out to them!!!! I am working on a bias scarf from the Knit It holiday 2005 magazine. I am using some old junky yarn on seventeen's. I made the stupid mistake of leaving my computer at my aunt's house which is why I haven't been posting as much. My dad is fixing my camera so you may be able to actually see pictures of the projects I am working on!! Bye for now!!

Lots and Lots of Knitting!!!

My camera hates me. Seriously. It hates me. I have yet to figure out what is wrong with it. Time to call in my dad. lol. I am busily working on the crazy catterpillar from Kids Knitting by Melane Falick for my cousin Michael. Is it sad that I still don't know how to spell his name? The catterpillar is red, blue, yellow, and black for the in between stripes. It is turning out very cute if I do say so myself. Last Wendsday Audrey and Michelle came over to swim. I spent most of my time in the shallow end with Adurey. When I would do a flip off the diving board I would come up out of the water and hear Audrey saying, "Sarah, you okay?" It was soo cute!!! I finished crocheting one pair of mittens. They are orange with purple Tutu form Moda Dea around the bottom and flowers! I used Bevs Marvelous Mitten Pattern. I am making a pair in cream with Moda Dea WILD! in Denim. They are pretty cute. I am baby sitting two kids Saturday night. I think they are 6 and 2. Something around there. They are very sweet! I can't wait. I need to go finish my catterpillar!

Happy Birthday Eric!!!

Happy B'day Eric!!! Yesterday afternoon my mom, sister, and I went to Michaels!!! They finally got the size 50's from Lion Brand in!! I bought a pair and last night I made the One-Hour Pom-Pom Wrap! It is soooo cute! I did it in blue and white so I can wear it to school. It is my school colors. I got a wonderful idea to sew up the sides and make it a shrug. I will do that on the next one. Sorry bout the short post!

Sorry I Haven't Posted!!

Well, my great-grandfather died on the 4th of July. My sister and I went down with my parents for the funeral. I am trying to decide if crying 4 times in one week should be considered normal for an awful week. I got to see my cousins and uncle for the first time in a year or so. They came to stay with us for a couple of days. I was so mad that my mom wouldn't let me watch Law and Order SVU because it freaks my sister out. I was like, this is sooo not fair. I ended up getting stuck watching The Suite Life of Zach and Cody and That's So Raven. In the mornings I had to watch the Backyardigans. Doesn't that sound fun! I started a Branching Out scarf in Caron Simply Soft light blue on size 6 needles. I have finished 16 pattern repeats. It is lookly soooo good. I think I will give that one to my aunt for Christmas. She may end up getting the white scarf that she said she likes a lot. I have already finished Mary Margaret and Phillip's presents. Mary Margaret is getting the hot pink and light pink headbands I finished a few weeks ago and Phillip is getting a brown cable scarf. DaddyBill is getting better. The docters have confirmed that he has cancer. I suppose I will hope for the best. He will hopefully be fine. My best friend Erin is sitting here confusing me. Something about how when friends are talking about something they can get off into whole new subjects. There she goes again. I should probably go get back to work on my Branching Out scarf. Bye!!

Really Bad Day

All day I heard Bad Day by Daniel Powter going in my head. My grandfather is okay I guess but Daddy preached about it today. I heard stuff that had been guarded from me. I cried a few tears. At lunch with my aunt we got a phone call that said my great-grandfather is really really not doing well. My aun't cell phone rings. She is gone from the table a few minutes and comes back crying. My sister and I am sent to wait in the Olivie Garder waiting area for a little while. We leave. On the way home I cry. In front of my sister. I hate crying in front of her. Then I allow myself to lay around on the couch and talk to my BFF who is moving in a week all day about setting up a guy that asked me out with someone we know likes him. We can't wait!! I take a nice long hat bubble bath then get my dad to talk like Chip and Dale!! It was so funny. Then Dale got Larry and Gitis. lol. I casted on for a new baby hat and bootie set. Not much else done today. Please pray for my grandfathers. Please.
