Nothin worse

UGH

I hate having idead and not enough money to carry them out. Lemme tell you, it sucks.

I ahve 2 rugs on teh go that are at a standstill for lack of teh funds to get wool right now. Ive had a beautiful idea for another rug that has been stewing forever becuase i dont have the cash for wool for it (plus i dont have enough burlap right now...)

And now sherry got me a sewing machine for xmas (small one) and ive been wanting to try quilting for a long time but again i dont ahve the cash for material right now.

UGh.

I keep telling myself we will be caught up in march (over and over) but when you have concepts and ideas waiting it is so hard to be patient. Its like being pregnant and wanting to meet your baby... expect I want to meet a few rugs and a beautiful quilt.

I am always thinking about opening and etsy shop for fun, and I often think about opening a little ebay store for used books (so many pass my hands you see) but I never actually go through with it... Maybe I should? But would it cost me mroe than I make? and there are 53 million people plus doing this... what would set my little webspace apart? I get so overworked with details.

Ill make it my mission today to look into these things... MUST DOOOO.

SHOPPING DAY

Things didnt go my way with the shopping trip. My motehr called alst night cause she couldnt go till saturday but saturday is a bad day for me so I was in a funk.

OVER IT, Just needed time.

Kev stayed with donavan so i could take samara to school and then we took donavan to his moms and went xmas shoppng. We were completely done teh kids by lunchtime. Painful money later. Xmas is but once a year though, right? ;)

All thats left is a few things for my Mr. O'Regan, somethign SMALL for ryan, sherry, and Kevs gotta shop for me. YAY finally I will ahve gifts under the tree. MWAHAHA.

We watched DeathRace tonight. It was GOOOODDD BUTTTTTTT a little rushy to the end. Youll know what I am saying once you see it. One minute movie, teh next DONE type deal.

Im finishing xmas gifts (or trying to). Everytime I think I am almost done I add somethign to it. I have a couple scarves to do, 2 rugs to finish (UGGHHHH HAHA) and A TON of knitting left.

Well back to knitting.

Wish me luck.

Holy Tantrums Batman

Donavan is such a cranky kid lately. Everytime I turn around he is on the floor kicking and screaming! It is insane.

I think someone is coming for some baby clothes I have here.

I did up some dishes a bit ago and I have alot of christmas crafting to do. I cant work on Kelly's until I get some yellow wool so I went on to the next one. Plus I ahve been making scarves like crazy. LOL. I need more yarn.... YARNNN FOR THE POOORRRR. HAHA. Later in the week I am goign to go to frenchies and the bridge and see if I can find anything :)

Another tantrum.

Yay.

At The Endddddd

Had a great time at my "party" I am planning another in December I think. On a Saturday night this time I think. Hopefully everyone will be able to make it again.

I finished rug number 2. Number 1 was a red bird to see if I had the attention span to finish one. I did. Number 2 is for my parents for xmas to go on the wall. It was a rose using wool and wooly yarn. It turned out awesome. Today I am going to draw up number 3. My Ode to Kelly. LOL. I think as soona s i pull apart my new black coat and the brown I will probably borrow Donna's machine to cut it all. I have 4 pairs of scizzors and in that only 1 pair is usable becuase teh others are SO DULL from cutting wool.

Bought an Art Attack with Neil Buchannon book yesterday SCORE. I cant wait to get some paint and try some crafts out with Samara. Shes been copying a few 1 dimentionally the last 2 days. Creative bugger.


Bought 2 new bras from Additionelle friday. size G38! My actual measured size is H36 but they didnt ahve it so they improvised. I want to post NICE BOOBIE/ bra pictures but would that cross a line? HAHA who knows. Im so proud of the girls right now. HAHA.

Well I should go put pants on. Henri and her kiddies are coming to walk to mcdonalds with us. I realized i have a pack of those coupons abd they expire today!

Donavan Gets In On The Video Blog Thing

To elaborate:

My landlord is supposed to pick up my late rent today (this morning). He passed us as I was walking Samara to school. No word since so I am thinking maybe he thinks I went out and therefore wont be home???

I would like to go uptown and search out some new wool today but it is FREAKING FREEZING out. So my ass is staying home.

My parents bought donavan new boots yesterday too which was awesome. my kids are ready for winter. Today I am going to search out all of our hats and mittens. Samara lost 2 hats in teh house yesterday. GRRR. donavans main hat is missing and kevs toque and my hat are awol too. Im goign to see if i cant fin d a needle and thread to bind my completed rug today. Right now I am working ona rose wallhanging as a christmas gift. shouldnt take long to do. I have so many plans but NO WOOL. blah.

Kev and I are finally sharing a bed again LOL. mind you donavan is there too but at least kevs not on the couch. We have a tiny double bed. it super sucks. even when i was single I had a bigger bed.

Christmas parade is tomorrow night. Half of me is excited cause I love parades, the other half is horrified becuase the noise of it gives me panic attacks. explain that, eh.

Well, shit to do and all.
