Sweater's done!!!!

Yipee!!! Finally got my sweater done, and I have started on my second pair of socks and a little dress for my one and only granddaughter, Isobella.

My Sweater

Future Dress for Izzy!

Knitting, Knitting, Knitting

OK, I have become, at least temporarily, a knit-0-holic. I can't wait to get my necessary work done so I can sit down and knit. My latest project, a simple two-button cardigan, is just about complete. I will post a pic if it looks half-way descent. I've completed one pair of socks. (I think I've already posted that pic.) Izzy's sweater is next on my list to complete. It's started but I haven't been working on it lately in an attempt to get this sweater done. I can't have more than two projects going or I get too frustrated not being able to make a decision about which one to work on. When I'm working on one, I'm thinking about the others. Oh what a problem to have. What would really help me out here is a four day work week without a lot of night duties. However, that's not going to happen, so I have to get creative with my knitting time. I've been able to get one complete row of knitting done while waiting for my order at Sonic. I've completed an entire chemo cap while waiting for my mother to complete a chemo therapy session at the cancer center. I haven't been guilty of knitting while driving yet, but I do take my knitting with me whenever I leave the house for longer than just a quick errand.

One project done!

Here's a couple of pictures of my first completed knitting project that actually took a little more skill than just knitting and purling. When I finish my next project I will, of course, post a pic of it too. So far I am really enjoying getting a little more serious about this knitting hobby. 

Good News!!!

Yipee!!! Almost everything on my summer to do list is done. Still need to do a bit of clean up on my hard drive, but everything else is complete. Love the new treadmill, and I still have room for my sewing machine and ironing board. Jerry walks on the treadmill every morning. I do only when I don't get outside to walk.

Now that everyone in the family seems to be well or on the mend, I finally feel like I'm having a vacation. Haven't been able to go anywhere, but maybe a few road trips on the weekend will suffice. Hard to believe school starts in less than a month. I better get back to my vacation.
More later.

Oh yeah! I've also started on some serious knitting. If my project gets finished and it looks good, I will post a picture!

Just Checkin' in!!

 You know that "To Do" list I published? Well, I got a little side tracked with Mom in the hospital and then having to help take care of her after she got home. However, there is still good news. I got the hard drive on my school computer cleaned and organized. At least I got one thing totally done. I also have started working on my other files. Looking pretty good. I have some more cleaning out and organizing to do at school and then I plan on digging in here at home. Hopefully, when I check in here again, I can report all school to do list items are checked off!

I know this is not the most exciting blog to read, but if it helps motivate me to get all this work done, then woohoo!!!!  It's worth it.
