saturday again!

Yeah! I ended up with the day off so...nice! Done a little knitting this morning, made breakfast, relaxed.... ahhh!

We are heading to a birthday/housewarming party this afternoon. Some very good friends of ours that we have not seen in awhile. Hubby is being nice and asked our daughters boyfriend if he wanted to come along as well.

Well, last weeks knitting at work did not work out so well, too many distractions. Lol, i ended up ripping out more than i knit.

And the sun is out!!! Maybe summer is finally here!

TGIS!!

Not that it really matters as I have to work. Stopping by the store on the way to see if the new HP book has a huge line. Last year there was no one around and i walked right in and picked up the copy for my daughter. No big deal at all.
Not too busy with clients today so i'll bring the scarf i am making for the scarf swap. Does not seem like a complicated pattern but it has been kicking my butt! Of course the distractions at work do not help as i get lost as to where i am or end up miscounting when answering the phone.
The salon is having a purse party this afternoon, shouldbe interesting. Well, off to shower!

7-7-7

Well, a mellow 7-7-7 ... so that could be a good thing! Worked for a short time this morning (dang! Forgot my dirty towels at work, have to go get those tomorrow or they'll get fuzzy) then stopped at a clients home. Her husband writes and records music and has been looking for a female vocalist. Plus she just wanted me to see her home and meet the rest of her family. Beautiful home!
Relaxed with a book, worked a 1000 piece puzzle for a bit, and finished a cat's paw lace scarf , just need to block it now. Hubby ran some errands with me and got me Wor Won Ton soup for dinner. (no dishes or cooking!) Poor guy has to leave for Canada again monday morning, just got home from there this morning. But will be good overtime!
Got my punk swap buddy today. Looks like we have very similar interests and things in common, so should be fun! I already started making things this past week hoping to get someone "like me" and I did!
Well, I see my daughter just pulling into the drive, well her boyfriends parents dropping her off. Nighty night!

1. Why are you punk? Why? Well I am of the original era of punk...middle and high school during the 80's! I sing in an alternative punk band, and just like the quirky, funky fun things that seem to be related to punk. Who else sends their daughter to school with retro pin up girl checks? :)

2. What are your five favorite things? family, nature (hiking, camping), creating with my hands & hand created items, skulls and turtles

3. What are your three favorite things that you have made with knitting/crochet? a sweater in deep green (one of my fav colors) that has a cowl neck and sleeves but no body to it. Socks...many many pairs. I like funky socks and wear them camping & hiking. And a skull cap, I wear it when working out at womans boot camp in the wee hours of the morning!

4. What five things would you love to see in a swap box someday? ??hmmm??? I like creative kwirky things, I am an easy going person so just enjoy things someone else thought of for me?

5. What are your three favorite yarns? What are your three least favorite yarns? I really like Nori for the blends and colors. I like yarns that tend to have a watercolor or tie die blend to them. No one brand otherwise, I like variety. I think I am tired of eyelash yarns though.

6. What are your five favorite delicacies???Hmmm.... Aside from dark chocolate??I like to mix choc, berries and nuts! But I also do enjoy a good coffee , hot & spicy, sushi (love sushi, ate lots of that while living in hawaii)love trying new, native tastes..exotic! (ultimate comfort food though is mashed potatoes & gravy!)

7. What are your three favorite guilty pleasures? Lol, dark chocolate.....irish cream and any mexican or thai take out food!

8. What would you like your pal to know that is not covered here? I am a nature girl at heart who has to play it mellow on the surface for my job. Folks are always pleasantly suprised when they do get to know me and see my quirky wilder streak! But seeing many of my clients are quite conservative I must stay pretty mellow. Aside from my pierced nose and tongue, most of my tat's are easily covered. I am my own boss though so i have my days!!
Purple and green are my fav colors but i love all natural shades as well. I call them my jungle pastels. I love skulls, witches and turtles. I eat a very natural diet with espresso being a big evil, smile!! Knitting, Photography and scrapbooking are hobbies i enjoy. But i am also learning to spin and dye yarn as well. You may also find me reading, gardening or beading..or being stubborn with a puzzle! I was conceived at woodstock and born on the very first earth day under a full moon...granola by birth with a punk streak!

a long slow process

Lol, this is going to take me some time to figure out and build! I'm not a total idiot, just need to find some time..and espresso!

testing this out

i am not that savvy when it comes to the internal geek bits. So bear with me as I attempt to build this.
