Happy Christmas!

Ok- once again my battery has died too quickly- it's done. I'm getting a new camera, I just have to. After Christmas, I'm going to get a new one. It's just too annoying to go to the store, have whoever is helping me know what I need but always say "haven't seen those in a while". It get rather annoying. But I have my eye on a new one--- so it's all good. BUT the reason it died so quickly is because of a video I took 1st period English on Friday... Here's the video--- you'll just laugh! Jingle Bell Boys~~ They just did awesome and it had to be caught on video... Not the best quality, but still it shows what needs to be shown :D.

Well, there is my inevitable camera news, and here is the new knitting news. I am almost finished with mum's x-mas day scarf, and we'll open gifts for each other on x-mas eve morning before we travel to see family for the holiday. The socks that I have been working on... found a hole in my knitting bag and haven't been seen in a while. Now I'm just hoping I'll finish one for Christmas morning to tell him the other will be finished as soon as I can. All I have to do for the others is wrap them! I've done good- starting in June, REALLY helps~ :)

Hope everyone has a great holiday-- HAPPY CHRISTMAS-- HAPPY EID-- HAPPY HANUKKAH-- HAPPY KWANZAA-- &&& all the rest inbetween <<33

My english debate procrasternating and EPIC news!!

HELLO!! I hate my blue books- actually, I just finished my last outline, so who cares about them any more!! I am now procrastinating my English debate which won't take short time to write... but I still want to burn my history... along with my chem papers- and this year I am soo serious! Anyway, I don't feel like writing it right now, so this is my break- Here are some pictures of da 'burgh!
Me carrying in the tree! :)



This is some snow that fell today!!





And some more snow~~~

poooy!! It's blurry--- I'll get a better one next time...

Okay- knitting news. My hats are definitely my super power. And it's totally awesome that if I just leave my hat in the back room at work- people knit it for me!! And I taught all of them,,, so guess what---- they're all continental!! WOOO!!! But seriously- I'm so close to finishing the sock- now that I got another part of the pattern. My plan is to finish one before x-mas.

Now here is the EPIC news--- only 363 people in front of me on raverly!!! WOOO!!! I am soo close!! I know that I'll get my invite when I'm supposed to be working on blue books- I kind of figured it would do that to me just cuz that's how life goes for me. But there is my EPIC news.

Safe driving out there- GO PENS!! & PRAY FOR A SPEEDY FLEURY RECOVERY!! <<33

Where is the Blogspher going??

I feel that I am the only one blogging and that I must continue just to try to pursue others to join in again. SO BLOG YOUR LITTLE HEART'S OUT! If you have time. Honestly I have like no time anymore. Between all those tests teachers like to throw in before break- rehearsal- all the homework I stay up til 1 doing, and the knitting I have to get finished before that dreadful deadlined date!

As you can see- I have not been sleeping that much :). In history class, they show those awful videos from PBS. I'm sure they are very informative! But when someone is talking to you about history- IN MONOTONE- how are you supposed to follow?? I just can't do it- my eyes fall very droopy and I really am trying to listen!! I used to knit in this class- and videos were ok to listen to- I ACTUALLY FOLLOWED! Well, this is the same teacher that threatened a Saturday detention for knitting in class because apparently it's the same as texting. But now that I have nothing to do with my hands- my eyes just tend to shut and my head just seems to fall. I am still listening but I'm trying so hard to stay awake and not have her yell at me for having my head on the desk with my eyes shut that & I'm just freaking out too much about a monotone video!! ahh!!!

Ok, sorry, I just had to vant that little bit out.

Here are updates on my knitting~~~

The scarf that distracts me from my x-mas knitting. It's beautiful, and started out as an x-mas gift, but then I just couldn't resist and now it's mine.















These are the completed hats that I have done for da boys--- and I've already casted on for another...















My hopefully finished sock by the deadline-















My second finished square that I forgot to talk about completely! It was a Hollywood pink and so pretty. The pictures doesn't do it justice. In fact, none of the pictures look as good as they do in person.















Those are supposed to be waves if you were wondering....

This is what is going to keep me from sleeping even more- those knit bright needles, and the delicious Loft yarn! I don't know what it is, but I just like working with it- and the other one in my distraction project- aler or something?? But those two together is just wonderful

















This picture is for my east coast aunt- hope I did a good job for the button loop!

Busy Busy Busy Bee

HELLO!!! Don't know how I found time to do this.. I pulled it up last time I was on the computer- which was only for about 5 minutes just to check e-mail- then I went to go take a shower because I wanted to look nice for the Percussion Concert I got to sing in with the choir. Yes, I'm in the choir and we sounded pretty sweet. That's in my terms- everyone said we sounded very nice. :)


Anyhoo- in knitting news I haven't been real busy since the Animal Crackers Hat that I made in an hour. Yes, I got a request to have one made for someone as a Christmas gift and finished it in an hour... Here it is!
Since this hat was requested, I did ask for money. I am a person who loves to knit for love. But if someone requests something from me. I think asking for money is reasonable.
Other knitting I have done is working on another square for the shop. I made it a little big, but it is still a very pretty pink square of waves. The other somewhat productive work are my hats- I've started another hat-- it's starting out with brown ribbing. It's for a guy, so I don't know if I should make it all brown or add another mascolynn color. Not orange though, remember that this is STEELERs/PENGUINs county. So anyother color you can think of would be helpful.
The reason I have been so busy is choir. We've had rehearsal's after school almost everyday and the concerts were Friday and Saturday- then my Orchestra concert was Thursday and had a rehearsal for that Monday night- the Musical rehearsal right after that on Monday. And Tuesday I had dance, then Wednesday I had work. Now it's Saturday and I had dance from 9am ta 5pm; then the concert. Now tomorrow I have church, then I think I might go to Bloomin's just because I need my knitting fix and some more yarn for a few last gifts. By the way- How is your Holiday knitting coming along??

PICTURES!! && more life~~

Here are some of those photos I mentioned- I finally got my camera back! :D







This is my mother && Aunt Maura in the parking lot to the drug store. Did you know they have slot machinces in the drug store!?!? Yeah- well they do. && the palm trees- they were decorated with Christmas lights! It was so pretty.





Here's me with the mountains on the way to the airport-






These are the dogs- Trump is the big black one, and Marigold is the golden one. They are just too cute- they'll do anything for food, and Trumpy followed me everywhere in the morning! It was so fun.





I'll just put a bunch of them up for the dog's, cuz they're just too cute!!!



I think I might have had food in my hand for her to be that close to me.

This is how you usually saw them if you were in the kitchen. They just wanted your food!

Here are the pictures of my knitting updates.













This is the scarf that I finished up all the yarn for it the first day! It's not even done and yet I still want to wear it--- always my problem.















This is how far I got on the Steelers sock when I was out in Vegas. Right now I'm working on it and it's further along than the picture- but I haven't gotten to the heel yet.



Now, my favorite picture!! I just finished the Animal Crackers Hat last night and SOOO enjoyed wearing it today already. I'll leave you with a smile <<33
