Happy!

I received some amazing news yesterday!

mosaic5 495x495 Happy!

Unfortunately I can’t really say yet, but I can say that it means I’ll have more reasons to blog soon. Not that I don’t now.

It’s been so beautiful in little Queen Creek lately. Just warm enough to stay outside, but cool enough to debate a jacket. For Pete’s Sake, I even cleaned my exterior porch and garage lights today because I wanted to stay outside so bad. AND! We cleaned the garage yesterday. Go me! (And thanks bunches Dad. He’s a great packer.)

The boys have rediscovered sidewalk chalk. I would have taken a picture of my chalk covered kids and dog, but D’s in the potty. He told me he’d be out in 3 hours. I’m not waiting on that, because, well, he’s probably right.

Stay tuned for the great news, which is about 3 weeks off. But you can pretend that it could be any minute and keep checking back obsessively. :D Or you can guess what it is in the comments. No fair giving it away if you already know though.

And no, there’s no need to start crocheting, as my Grandma asked. I’m not pregnant. As far as I know. And I should know. Hopefully.

Crocheting Conundrum

[singlepic=2,500,500]

I’ve been working on this blanket for awhile now and while I’m pleased at how it’s turning out I’m not pleased with the tension issues I’ve been having. I also hate to admit it but I found not one but TWO dropped stitches and they’re quite a few rounds back. I’m contemplating frogging the whole thing and starting over. I think I would probably cry while doing it, but I really need to reevaluate my gauge again.

I just hate to use a larger hook because that means larger holes in the throw right? I hate that – makes it too drafty. Actually I just looked back and it seems I may be using too big of a hook already?!

In other sad news, it’s gonna cost us quite a mint to get the car repaired and the bank has decided not to help us with that as half of our income (mine) is gone. It looks like I’m gonna have to give up all the crafts and fancy recipes again for awhile. I just wish there was something I could do at home without becoming the EvilStressQueen of Harwell Street. I wish I was like Dooce and could get paid for each of the millions of readers I have. Haha. Nevermind, I think I have 3 but I love you all! :D
