new pictures and a little of chatting

hey all...
i have some new pictures posted today. they are all from this year. i have a pic of my brother,sister in law,their daughter,my son and daughter, and some knitting projects.
one project i cant post yet...as it is to be a mystery project in group i am in on yahoo. so, it will be posted after that class.
the pic of my lil niece...she is wearing her froggy back pack i got her for her birthday back in march...and the pic of her mom and dad are from the same day....gotta love camera phones:)
my daughter is wearing her softball shirt from this summer..she got to ride on a fire truck for the 1st time this year...which was one of her teams special treats from their coaches..in a parade. she had a blast...not to mention a baggie full of candy. the pic of my son is from the trip to my brother and sister in laws house...cant believe he will be driving in a year...and starting to get that cute little peach fuzz that will soon be a mustache. my babies are growing up way to fast....anyone know a good way to stop them from growing anymore?...lol.
i started a new project last night on my yellow KK loom(thank you soooo much rebecca:) ! ) and it is called tvaandsstickning or twined knitting. and there is a little about it on www.loomknittighelp.com it is an interesting way to knit..traditionally using both ends of 1 skein of yarn...which i am using 2 skeins to start out with to help make it easier for me to learn. and i am very happy with how it is turning out. it will be a hat. and once i get better at it i am going to make a very nice warm hat for my husband and kids before winter gets here. since my husband is a maintenance man for 2 trailer courts here in indiana...and working outside...he will definitely need one.
i will soon be adding sites i go to and all...plus other blogs i visit from friends in some groups i am in. and let me tell you...the knitting projects they do are absolutely AWESOME! and i cant wait til i am as good as they are(will take a good year...give or take). everything takes time,patience and lots of practice...patience is something i need more of...lol...but everything will work out in the end.
weather hasnt been very cool lately... upper 90's with heat index of like 100 or more...and in a factory(bathrooms breakrooms and offices are only air conditioned places)that gets pretty darn hot! never thought one could sweat in so many places...lol. but its now the weekend and im in my home with the air on..and i love it. i do venture outside...but only to go to the store. and in this heat...DRINK LOTS OF WATER and stay as cool as possible! dont want anyone having any problems because of this heat. and also make sure your loveable pets have plenty of water and a cool place to stay as well..dont want anything to happent o them either....they are part of the family too.
well i need to go now. got lots to do and little time to do it in. you all have fun,stay cool and have a great time knitting,crocheting and other crafts that you may do or start up. crafting is a great way to relax and for remembering family members as you do them
take care and always enjoy life to the fullest:)
