YAY!!!! </span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">I am on school break until the 25th ( I think)... and the kids will be going to school this year around the 25th also. I realized that doing homeschool while in college fulltime is almost impossible although plans may change depending on how this school year goes for the kids.</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">My parent's are here visiting me, they were going to leave last Monday but have decided to stay an extra week because I was too sad that they were leaving me here ALONE in this HORRIBLE place!

We havn't had any bad side effects yet and haven't grown any tails. I think we are ok. I was pretty nervous getting the shot because of all the crazy stuff I was hearing but I figured that I would rather get the shot than get the flu with pneumonia later. I was becoming an agoraphobic and I was affraid to leave the house and catch the flu. Hopefully we don't have any thing crazy happen later! <a href="http://lovedsinner.blogspot.com/">Tara</a> got her shot before us and she is still alive too. :)LuvlyKnitshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00535688812978396581noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-795600716187937637.post-48672249045094170012009-11-05T22:21:00.000-08:002009-11-05T22:30:08.489-08:00Oliver is finally singing.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwvXzDoIJdEvsKLyksu2pik-W9NmwxgE5jjIBP0hokyTl4W42lCmI026GInIRI1k3OSEIhSwUuc-Epcluz81hDDCPDLPL-0KJmXOczwfuNn-fQzCB4BQRr0EHN09cTusTiYDYMXuB-cS0/s1600-h/new+pics+490.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5400874089251530850" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwvXzDoIJdEvsKLyksu2pik-W9NmwxgE5jjIBP0hokyTl4W42lCmI026GInIRI1k3OSEIhSwUuc-Epcluz81hDDCPDLPL-0KJmXOczwfuNn-fQzCB4BQRr0EHN09cTusTiYDYMXuB-cS0/s320/new+pics+490.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-USZOlJDmLrwfl0jk0dbxt7J__NkM_yRWTLQgShQM8tLQEtrjjhg9DCIRX3siNqwpe9CE8jr7rGO6yKmr0e7fK1JCVU4IFf4sjRu3lpi2A6M6RwU2hjI33-uFn6PRQxR8FJ5qFJaLVLU/s1600-h/new+pics+486.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5400873075040549858" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-USZOlJDmLrwfl0jk0dbxt7J__NkM_yRWTLQgShQM8tLQEtrjjhg9DCIRX3siNqwpe9CE8jr7rGO6yKmr0e7fK1JCVU4IFf4sjRu3lpi2A6M6RwU2hjI33-uFn6PRQxR8FJ5qFJaLVLU/s320/new+pics+486.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div>I have been teaching Oliver how to sing.

LOL<br /><br />These are way cool. They actually aren't Vampire Bats but that is what we have nicknamed them since they have bitten hard enough to draw blood. These are actually my new COOL pets they are Sugar Gliders. They are so <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">AWESOME</span>!!! The only problem with them is that they don't feel too comfortable with us yet so they have been a bit "nippy".<br />I have the a mother who is 5 years old and her two baby girls, who are 2 years old.<br />Their names are Pretty, Cutie, and Butterfly. I am not sure what one the mother is. I can't even tell them apart. I painted the front nails on one of them, the back nails on the other, and no nails on the last one.<br />My older son is scared to death of them and has been having nightmares of them ever since one jumped out of the cage and into his shirt. We couldn't get it out of his shirt because it was growling at us and trying to attack. About two hours later we coaxed it back into it's cage by at <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">meal worm</span> treat. Now my son is traumatized and doesn't want to go near them. <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">LOL</span>LuvlyKnitshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00535688812978396581noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-795600716187937637.post-9460645327971689982009-10-24T16:41:00.000-07:002009-10-24T16:47:24.615-07:00Gracie's new "patio home"<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXB7BmMvfqRJPX_yvlSU1pzvzzgjNa6odcGJG5UxGpszgrtOH_E36U4wnTBblSVLu283zDvbqrnhS0cd4vqHxRnQSsmNHTYru02nDTjSGqe5yoT3XPDM8kX6w06lHaxSt4ZhO2_YnCXTQ/s1600-h/009.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396317226291575538" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXB7BmMvfqRJPX_yvlSU1pzvzzgjNa6odcGJG5UxGpszgrtOH_E36U4wnTBblSVLu283zDvbqrnhS0cd4vqHxRnQSsmNHTYru02nDTjSGqe5yoT3XPDM8kX6w06lHaxSt4ZhO2_YnCXTQ/s320/009.JPG" /></a><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div>I finally got my husband to make a house for Gracie.

I actually rescued 2 ferrets and right now.</div><br /><br /><div>They are brother and sister and are about a year and a half old. They are very cute and nice. They play with the dogs and follow everyone around the house. The lady that I got them from had them stuck out in her backyard. She had a very nice custom made cage but it was OUTSIDE. The poor things were shaking, wet, and cold when I saw them. I asked her if she knew that they were freezing and she said they were shaking because they were happy even though they were soaking wet with rain and about 40 degrees outside. I ended up buying them because I just couldn't leave them with that "Utard".

This time since this yarn is a wool blend I was I tried dropping down the second stitch from each side and purling it back up to get rid of the rolling effect. It seems to have worked pretty good. I also went over it with an iron. Turned out perfect. This scarf has 3 cables the cables on the ends are to the right and the cable in the middle is to the left. The cables give it a nice texture.</div></div>LuvlyKnitshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00535688812978396581noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-795600716187937637.post-60823865734660195762009-09-19T16:12:00.000-07:002009-09-19T16:24:16.607-07:00Pretty In Pink Scarf<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgc4EVhWNYNw2h_IWhiUvtHwk1AyIPB_CQU_EjnLApTAJNTLD4WFJNC0nIsYzzqS8C9SBsxwUQ57MFGQo4QQUSIrnZXb3fc3jI4xU_5D6m-q4nlTmZqa4OUJDscBQrmbnss3IHvpXbfnwA/s1600-h/065.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 240px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5383321178091977346" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgc4EVhWNYNw2h_IWhiUvtHwk1AyIPB_CQU_EjnLApTAJNTLD4WFJNC0nIsYzzqS8C9SBsxwUQ57MFGQo4QQUSIrnZXb3fc3jI4xU_5D6m-q4nlTmZqa4OUJDscBQrmbnss3IHvpXbfnwA/s320/065.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVx-YomZx1Lpk_OuR-LWpNzSDQf1gf-6JZJXUdQnEmY6qOT5pRxE-Gquw9-xupAprIAP6uSSGGQ7aCmLmR3sja-Mxf5Znw7JK6zwBpAHQaBfX7w9Rokx9hIkXRhEt9Wswwo2BoAiXidm8/s1600-h/066.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 240px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5383321441065374674" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVx-YomZx1Lpk_OuR-LWpNzSDQf1gf-6JZJXUdQnEmY6qOT5pRxE-Gquw9-xupAprIAP6uSSGGQ7aCmLmR3sja-Mxf5Znw7JK6zwBpAHQaBfX7w9Rokx9hIkXRhEt9Wswwo2BoAiXidm8/s320/066.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div><span style="font-size:130%;">I just got finished making this light and lacy scarf in light pink. </span></div><div><span style="font-size:130%;">This is the first scarf that I have done on my Brother 260.

She loves to roam the yard with the dogs, eat grass, and play in her pool. I do bring her in sometimes and she loves to sit on my lap and watch TV. Gracie has also made friends with a few Magpies. I can hear them talking with her every morning. I am wondering what to do with Gracie when Winter comes. I think she will freeze if I keep her outside especially because she doesn't have any other geese to keep her warm. I might have to have her inside all Winter long. I could also make some type of a home for her in the garage but then it is really cold in their too. Her is a new pic of Gracie.</div><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div>LuvlyKnitshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00535688812978396581noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-795600716187937637.post-10621770898178404642009-09-09T21:49:00.000-07:002009-09-09T21:53:40.056-07:00Apples are growing<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilCVAEHIEZNYoQJh2nmtieoe5I8HQDriClguAyFSIsIV1mJOnHzwp75pIAhM3DaM9qg5EuEGT47qhrjuDFyPo7RFBSzUPavSEtghAf4isWAUBqJMTXbJMKs10mRaYgHeR_9-8L3WKnnvo/s1600-h/gracie+002.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379697351340541042" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilCVAEHIEZNYoQJh2nmtieoe5I8HQDriClguAyFSIsIV1mJOnHzwp75pIAhM3DaM9qg5EuEGT47qhrjuDFyPo7RFBSzUPavSEtghAf4isWAUBqJMTXbJMKs10mRaYgHeR_9-8L3WKnnvo/s320/gracie+002.JPG" /></a><br /><div>I planted this tree about 2 years ago and this year it has already got fruit on it.

I didn't bother trying to learn how to cast off because I didn't have any of those tools that would make it easier. I will try again tonight with a sportweight yarn. The yarn I used last night was really really thin. About as thin as dental floss. I wound up one of my own sportweight baby yarns to see how it looks on the machine.

Actually after we had decided what truck we were going to buy we started the financing part of the whole sale and I was asked if I was mormon. WHAT? I probably looked sick to my stomach. "NO" I said I am Catholic and the finance guy says "well so am I but do you mind saying you are a mormon so you can get the best interest rate" I said "NO" of course! (No soul selling over a truck here!!!) He seemed a bit angry that I wouldn't denounce my religion to get a better interest rate and the monthly payment I wanted. He thought by proving to me he denounced his religion to get into the (mormon) Deseret Credit Union by showing my his "member card" I would do the same. So I told him if he doesn't think that it was much of a problem to denounce ones religion over a truck I would go ahead and call my priest and ask him! He really didn't want me to call "the priest" but I did anyways. Yes, that is when I called Fr. Eric. Of course he confirmed my previous answer of NO.</div><br /><div>I think the financing man was a little shook up after me calling father but he still asked me one more time to denounce my religion. I ended the conversation by telling him, like Fr. John Corapi would have, "I ain't going to hell for you or anyone else and especially not for some truck"</div><br /><div>Well, this is just another one of those reasons that I love Utah, NOT!!!!</div><br /><div>Remeber this conversation was with another Catholic! UGHHH, MY GOODNESS!!!</div><br /><div></div>LuvlyKnitshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00535688812978396581noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-795600716187937637.post-60928643312660793882009-08-22T12:57:00.000-07:002009-08-22T13:14:25.089-07:00My new toyThanks to my daddy I have a new knitting toy. Well it's not really a toy it is a knitting <strong>machine</strong> I had to order a few small parts before I can start working on it and it needs a super duper clean up. Once I get the few small parts I can then clean it all up and start using it. This machine does everything. They say... you can knit a pair of sock within 1/2 hour with this bad boy. It also spits out baby blankets incredibly fast. I can't wait to get started making clothes! Now I can make items to sell without taking forever. I will still be making and selling handknit items but not exclusively, now I have more options. I am so excited about this machine. Yeah yeah yeah!!!<br /><br />Some cool info about my machine:<br />It has a motor to run automatically. It has a built in computer with 770+ pattern options included. It is a double machine so I can make double sided knits if I want or single sided. It reads punch cards, so I feed it a paper with patterns punched out of it and the machine automatically makes the specified pattern. WOW!! It also has a 4 color yarn feeder (to do cool intarsia designs) like to make a sweater with cool multi-colored designs across it. This came with a HUGE bag of yarns a BUNCH of punch cards and pattern books.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5ZunXr7dpMdN4BCxglPAhtwvha2VIdIQA0DzHMY0gSfTed6RSigksgSCtwvUrV7vgqgvrN-FOQ3YNh40lPUAujhbB7lKH0we7jYYhnhvha98bR7pV2-jF_4jyOoX53ywNIz-VuuWc07Q/s1600-h/duo+80+040.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5372881860124893330" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5ZunXr7dpMdN4BCxglPAhtwvha2VIdIQA0DzHMY0gSfTed6RSigksgSCtwvUrV7vgqgvrN-FOQ3YNh40lPUAujhbB7lKH0we7jYYhnhvha98bR7pV2-jF_4jyOoX53ywNIz-VuuWc07Q/s320/duo+80+040.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNOV5ysmeS1p1yXkK1CBt62MYYrY802wZJq96nHZXYxCsbL-ltN4_XztUvWfITv2XehQj8jxN1gwDJorSVnYBFXj4xKHcU-rv4L5CJOGkbWUU9ekZqvPAyOW97xCq5gwsYE9opr-mBVxg/s1600-h/duo+80+040.JPG"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNOV5ysmeS1p1yXkK1CBt62MYYrY802wZJq96nHZXYxCsbL-ltN4_XztUvWfITv2XehQj8jxN1gwDJorSVnYBFXj4xKHcU-rv4L5CJOGkbWUU9ekZqvPAyOW97xCq5gwsYE9opr-mBVxg/s1600-h/duo+80+040.JPG"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNOV5ysmeS1p1yXkK1CBt62MYYrY802wZJq96nHZXYxCsbL-ltN4_XztUvWfITv2XehQj8jxN1gwDJorSVnYBFXj4xKHcU-rv4L5CJOGkbWUU9ekZqvPAyOW97xCq5gwsYE9opr-mBVxg/s1600-h/duo+80+040.JPG"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNOV5ysmeS1p1yXkK1CBt62MYYrY802wZJq96nHZXYxCsbL-ltN4_XztUvWfITv2XehQj8jxN1gwDJorSVnYBFXj4xKHcU-rv4L5CJOGkbWUU9ekZqvPAyOW97xCq5gwsYE9opr-mBVxg/s1600-h/duo+80+040.JPG"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNOV5ysmeS1p1yXkK1CBt62MYYrY802wZJq96nHZXYxCsbL-ltN4_XztUvWfITv2XehQj8jxN1gwDJorSVnYBFXj4xKHcU-rv4L5CJOGkbWUU9ekZqvPAyOW97xCq5gwsYE9opr-mBVxg/s1600-h/duo+80+040.JPG"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNOV5ysmeS1p1yXkK1CBt62MYYrY802wZJq96nHZXYxCsbL-ltN4_XztUvWfITv2XehQj8jxN1gwDJorSVnYBFXj4xKHcU-rv4L5CJOGkbWUU9ekZqvPAyOW97xCq5gwsYE9opr-mBVxg/s1600-h/duo+80+040.JPG"></a>LuvlyKnitshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00535688812978396581noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-795600716187937637.post-20472734535373164612009-08-17T19:35:00.000-07:002009-08-17T19:41:10.215-07:00My Mannequin Is Here...<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh65_iOVYlOvHk2SSBghd2oHyf65Am9qyeRXVmAGZH7AU4RByL37H_PMOhkaSsFgrmgpIkvXh8CWPVLsCetd9kpkT2kR_RrdYfFSj5wJHe52VDv6W4n1VAwA2S9FZuW1799kNm4Q8Ij358/s1600-h/pic+001.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 152px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371127327301495618" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh65_iOVYlOvHk2SSBghd2oHyf65Am9qyeRXVmAGZH7AU4RByL37H_PMOhkaSsFgrmgpIkvXh8CWPVLsCetd9kpkT2kR_RrdYfFSj5wJHe52VDv6W4n1VAwA2S9FZuW1799kNm4Q8Ij358/s320/pic+001.JPG" /></a><br /><div>Here is a picture of the mannequin with one of my scarves.

It was awaiting its death, its penalty for eating her baby chickens. I asked her to let me take it up in the mountains and let it go and she let me. YEAH!!! It was so cool to see a live raccoon. I see them all the time dead on the side of the road, but this time it was a real alive raccoon. Even though it did a bad thing it was too cute to be mad at it! We took it (in its trap enclosure) up into the mountains while we went for a hike. We let it go right next to a little stream and it sat there and drank the water using its cute little hands. It had a little bridge to hide under and a lot of ground cover and trees. It wasn't full grown but it wasn't a baby either. It isn't with its mommy any more but at least it isn't dead. I said a prayer that God would take care of it. I hope it is able to survive! I will be praying for it tonight! On our way back down the mountain we saw a rattle snake. It wasn't very big, but big enough to have a rattle. We watched it slither away near a stream. It is amazing how God created each living thing so special in their own way. God is so AWESOME and powerful; I can't believe how many turn their backs to Him.</span></div>LuvlyKnitshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00535688812978396581noreply@blogger.com1
