The prize yarn I won....and a pregnancy pen......

By -
This is the awesome STR yarn that I won recently. Oh it is so pretty. I just can't decide what it will be.....another small shawlette? A pair of socks.?? Another tie....one for fireman???I just don't know, dont you know!

Don't you just love the pregnancy pen I got at the March Of Dimes conference last week? It was quickly given to my nephew's wife who is 14 weeks with her second baby!!! Al has me totally hooked watching Lifetimes' s One Born Every Minute....you'd think I would get enough at work you know? Do you watch it???

I simply could not be a Labor and Delivery nurse. They are saints and angels. I had this weird thought yesterday...
can you imagine being a nurse and spending your whole career with MEN who had crotch pain??? No one would sign up for that!!!! No wonder God only lets women have babies..



I WOULD LOVE YOU TO LEAVE A COMMENT>

That girl that wanted to update her Facebook status before pushing really irritated me. She's going to be texting while she is supposed to be caring for her baby. Terrible.

I can't imagine being a nurse or doctor treating men for anything!! They are such babies--but lovable babies.

I love the sock yarn. Gorgeous colors! Anything you make with it will be beautiful.

Also love the gnomes!! Are those Grace gnomes?

Most men never learned what all mothers know - it's possible to carry on even when sick and in pain. Maybe even when one has a cold.:-)

Love the new header even though I'm sorry to see the frogs are gone. Still, it's that GREEN time of year and I understand.

The yarn is gorgeous. Why don't you start a new take and replace box, put the yarn in it, put my name first on the list, and see if the yarn comes back to you?

I wanted to be a L&D nurse until I saw my first preemie baby in an incubator and knew right then I couldn't do it. I also wanted to be a vet until our family pet needed to be put to sleep. This is why I worked in an office!!!! LOL

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
