Holidaze

Well we survived all of the xmas traveling!
We had a lot of fun while we were gone. Babygurl got lots of toys and books. TH got a craftsman cart for his miniatures stuff, and some DVDs. I got lots of cool stuff including the new Cat Bordhi sock book, Knit picks Harmony dpns, and a new camera. My sister also gave us some great framed pictures of Babygurl.

Now that the madness is (somewhat) over, I'm trying to get the website updated. I also have to set up a shop page for TH on the nuclear ink website. Aaarghh! work stuff ! Before any work stuff gets done though, Babygurl and I have to go buy stuff for her new big gurl bed that we got yesterday.

I made pie!

and yes it was pretty easy. I made a pumpkin pie using condensed goat milk since TH has issues with cow's milk. I did have to condense the milk myself, cause the stuff from the can tasted horrible. I also used a graham cracker crust.



I cant believe it's Thanksgiving tomorrow, then Babygurl's B-day on the third! She's gonna be 2. I have so much stuff to do, cleaning Christmas shopping etc...

I did manage to finish another baby blankie amongst the chaos.



while i was taking pictures/doing laundry, Babygurl got a hold of the camera.



Yesterday TH and I finally had time so he could tattoo me, we're working on my left leg it's pretty much going to be a wildlife scene. He did the turtle before Babygurl was born, and now I have a couple of clown loach fish. I can't really take pic's of it by myself so I'll just have to post them later.

Here's a picture I made in Photoshop.

Halloween adventures

For Halloween this year we bought Babygurl an Elizabeth Swan costume, It was very cute on her even though it was a little too big. we put it on when we got it home and she wanted it off after about 15 minutes, so we waited a couple of days and tried again she wouldn't even try it, she screamed and ran away! Soo...we took it back to the store and got an Alice costume instead, she loved it and wouldn't take it off. I had to scramble to make costumes for Tattoo Husband and me. He went as the Mad Hatter and I was the White Rabbit.










Babygurl even helped with the pumpkins she picked out. Sshe did the top one with a sharpie and I did the bottom one, they were both very small so I couldn't carve anything intricate.

green tomatoes

It's October and I still have green tomatoes. OCTOBER! and they're still flowering too! I can't believe it. Don't they know they were supposed to be ripe a moth ago so we could eat them all.
silly tomatoes. I guess I'll have to bring them inside to ripen before the frost kills them.

Babygurl decided she wanted to wear daddy's leather jacket while I was at a stitch & bitch on tuesday.







She also likes to ride on the Giant killer bunny with sharp nasty pointy teeth, that TH got me for X-mas last year.



Ok now the stuff I'm working on: the sun blankie, I'm crocheting the edge I did a blanket stitch around, now I'm in the process of doing a single crochet, then I will do a scallop.



The Drunken jaywalker, not much done but I'm into the patterning now. I've kinda put this on the back burner cause I have to get other stuff done for christmas/before babies are born.



The mini socks, 2 left to knit! then I will have all of them done for the christmas ornaments.

Web store update

I have been going insane trying to get my web store up and running. I finally ordered the zen cart book. I figured out most of the product listings and stuff i just have to get them put in, then it will at least be functional. Hopefully by the end of next week. I can make it prettier once I get the book.

Settling back in....ahhh!

Finally settling back into some sort of routine after all of the traveling. Babygurl is still staying up too late (but so am I). My studio is almost organized, I just have a few bins of misc. stuff to sort through, and two bins full of fabric scraps to sort and toss. I still have to clean up my dyeing room a bit though, I have two fleeces in bags in the middle of it. :) While I was at the SD state fair I got a 3rd place rambouillet fleece, and a babydoll fleece for $15 I'm so excited! now I just have to decide if I want to send them out for processing. I finally got the Stste Fair pics uploaded too.


Baaa!
