Catch up...again

I am going to start blogging at random times during the day! I can't seem to remember anymore late at night to blog before getting so tired that I can't hold my eyes open. (like right now lol)

But to catch you up here is whats been going on.

Sunday @3pm I meet up with a friend at one of the Starbucks in town. We sat and chatted for about an hour then they needed to get home to there 3 boys. But we planned me and the hubby coming to there house @6pm that night. (See my hubby,Tim, gets up Sundays @5 because he workes 3rd shift and sunday night is his night of work.My friends hubby works a lot and only has sunday evening free.)

When I got home I was VERY excited to go to there house and hang out with them. But when the hubby got up,ok ok I WOKE him up at 4:30 because I couldn't wait till 5,I didn't tell him where we was going. I kept that up till my friends husband showed up at the store to have us follow him to there new place. Tim was very happy at this point and was no longer ill because I woke him up early to do something. lol

While I was there me and my friend planned out the knitting group info for the group we want to start. I really hope we get it going. I want to have more knitting friends!

The boys was playing World Of Warcraft while we chatted.

Since Tim did have to work that night we had to say good bye to them at 10:30 so we would have enough time to get home then enough time for the hubby to get to work. We so didn't want to leave! But we can get together again another day! So we said bye.

Other than that all I have been doing is Knitting and Crocheting. I have lots of pictures but right now....I dont think my eyes could pick out the good pictures from the blurry ones. lol

I will share what I scored tonight at Walmart tho. (I have to make an fast trip to Walmart for a toilet seat tonight! lol)

I got it for $1.50! SCORE!!!! But once I got it home and started putting my hooks in it I noticed there is more spaces for F sized hooks and smaller than for the G and bigger which is what I use more of. So there is some needles just laying in the pack since they want fit into the slots.

I also got some skeins of Red Heart for only $1! I am soooo lucky!

OHHHH I did something wonderful! I never thought I could do it! But I did!!!

That my friend is a sock that I knit on 2 Circs Toe up! Two things that I had never done before! I made it in only 2 days! I did a K2P2 ribbing on the top and it doesn't gaither enough but oh well. I don't care! They still look good to me!

I made a lot more items to but will post about them in the next entry. But there is one that I can not talk about for a few days. You see it is for my friend that I got together with this past Sunday. So I don't want to ruin the surprise for her by blogging about it. She reads my blog. ;) *waves* So that will not be blogged about till I get to give it to her!

I know I am forgeting something but my eyes are winning me over. I must go to bed. I will make sure to blog tomorrow with more pictures of stuff! Have a great one!

Mrs.lawrence

I have been meaning to blog but kept falling asleep before doing so. :(

There for here is a catch up post.

Saturday the hubby,my 13 year old cousin and I went to the Ocoee Whitewater/Olympic Center to enjoy the day. Only thing was the fact that it was close to 50 degrees! We froze. The only place to sit there is in the resturaunt or outside on the decks. Well we decided to buy some hot coco and sit on the deck...where we froze! lol

The hubby decided to take my cam and go walking down one of the trails. I had hoped to use some of his pictures here but they are 90% blurry. lol He doesn't know about using different functions for taking different pictures so he used the Moutain setting to take all pictures. I still love him tho!(the above picture was taken by the hubby if you can't tell!)

While the hubby walked around they was kind enough to let us into the metting room to stay warm! Guess what I did while I was in there??

Oh I was knitting on my Monkey sock! I finnished them btw!

They are done filling this part with water for the year.So it was really low.That is all natural rocks from the area but they cemented them into place for the Olympics. It is the only one of its kind build on a prexisting river bed!(If you can't tell I talked to the lady behind the deck for awhile! lol)

This looks like it would be a great swimming hole. lolHere is the back of the building from across the water...See that umbrella on the bottom right? Two tables over to the left is where we sat in the cold eatting salads and sandwhichs! It was cold but we enjoyed it!There was no unbrellas on the other tables so the wind kept slapping us...atleast we was behind bushes..but then again the wind wasn't comming from that way! lol

On our way up there we saw people rafting! I love seeing them do that. But humm did I tell you it was close to 50 degrees? These people are crazy! lol But it looks fun!! I did get a picture but lets just say I was in a moving car which the hubby was driving and he had a lead foot most of the drive. So the cam couldn't keep up with his foot. ;)

It was a wonderful day! I hope to do more stuff next year before it gets cold. Maybe if my knitting group grows we can make it a field trip! lol Not that it has anything to do with yarn but it is a nice place to chill!

I will end this here and catch up tomorrow! I have made a few mre items,visited with a friend and got some new patterns. OH I have even taked up a knit knitting thing! I will write about all that tomorrow!

Have a great one and please check back tomorrow!

Back to blogging!

Sorry about not posting for a few. But I ended up going to the ER 2 nights ago. I busted the cyst on my wrist and my hand swelled up real big and felt like cottage cheese. The hubby got worried and MADE me go. Long story short 7 hours later and a STRONG pill later I find out I need to wear a tight glove and not use my hand for at least 2/3 days. humm Folks I am right handed and am a knitter/crocheter....the cyst is on my right hand...I can not go THAT long without crafting! So last night I did about 13 rows of 20 crochet sts. Then called it a night.

I could of posted but that pill they gave me messed me up!! I felt like what druggies look like! I only felt better this morning. I am not used to RX pain meds! YIKES
My hand feels a little better but I am still taking it slow. :)


So on to blogging!

I just put my SD card into my computer and guess what? My pictures are not there that I took the other day. I have NO IDEA where those pictures are. Maybe the card ate them? Who knows. But I will take the pictures again tomorrow and post a special picture heavy post! lol You have been warned!

Today I scored some $1 Caron Eco yarn from our old Walmart. I am going to have this stuff running out of my ears if they don't stop super sailing it. lol But the yarn is good for making many things and its softer than Red Heart. So that is a plus. ;)

Since I don't have pictures of what I have made I will do a "whats on my needles" section today.

Knitting:
-A Shrug that I started about 3 months ago. Simple knitting in the round for the arm then changing to garter st for the back section then right back to knitting in the round for the other arm. It is using Caron yarn in a purple shade.

-I still have that pet blanket on the needles that I blogged about a few weeks ago. lol I so need to finish it. It would be good for a long car ride. To bad I am not going anywhere till Christmas. lol

-I have had a Monkey sock on the needles for MONTHS now. Just not in the mood to finish it.
-I also have a Jaywalker on the needles. Also been on the needles for MONTHS. I lost my sock knitting groove. :(

Crochet:
-A Panda
-A Santa
-and soon to be a Bee

I am sure there is a few more things hiding in box's but I wont go there....like the sweater made from Caron. lol...Oh yeah..I said I wouldn't go there didn't I?! opps

I guess I will end this here tonight and go put in Harry Potter 2. It is October and I love Watching all my magic like movies this month...not that I don't watch them other times of the year....but right now it just seems right to watch them A LOT! ;)
So have a great one and remember to keep those needles flying!

Fiber Craft Post

Today is the day I catch you up on what I was making yesterday!

I got hooked on crocheting these Bonbons! I plan on offering them in my shops in a set of 4!

Next a Pumpkin Boy! He is super cute! I would like to find others with different costumes on!
Then I moved onto a Ghost. But I forgot to get pictures of it. I will get one tomorrow.

Today I started on something else also! but I ran out of red yarn AND I made one part in the wrong color. So I have to wait till I can go to the store to get more yarn before I can finish it. Maybe hubby will take me to the store tomorrow! ^.^

I have SO many things in my favorites that I want to make but not enough time! lol

Also I have a calcium cyst on my wrist,below my thumb where my hand connects to my arm,and it is not looking good. I had went to the ER a while back about it because I thought it was a bone! They said this cyst is in a bad place. Right under my veins and tendons. He said I will HAVE to get it removed. O.O WHAT? hummm that means they have to cut it open! No thank you. But now I am starting to worry about it. Like I said its not looking so good. Now it looks like a hard egg poking out the size of an grape. :(

any who....That is what I have been working on as of right now. Tomorrow I will have more! So please come back and see what I make next!

Until then stay good,
Mrs.Lawrence

New Recipe!

That's right! I thought of a new Recipe! I got the idea after making that Taco Ring!!

"Pasta-Free Spaghetti Bites"~They taste like Spaghetti and are portable!

Supplies:
-3 cans of country style biscuits(you will have a few left over but you can always bake them for breakfast tomorrow)
-1 can Huntz Garlic and Herb Spaghetti Sauce (you will use about 1/3 of a can)
-1 lbs Hamburger meat (tho I guess Turkey,chicken,Pork or some other meat would work)
-a handful of Shredded Cheese that has Taco Seasoning in it (or just regular cheese and a tbl of dry taco seasoning mixed together,I just had some left over from making the Taco Ring)
-Cupcake pan

Turn oven on according to what your Biscuits say. Mine said 400 degrees.

Brown Hamburger meat(i added garlic,pepper&dried onions) and drain. Turn eye off and add in the sauce. Cover with a lid.

Open the Biscuits and lay then out to warm up a little.

Take your cupcake pan and spray it with some oil or baking spray.

Flatten out each biscuit,2 for each "cupcake",and stretch like you would pizza dough. OR if you have a rolling pin roll them out enough where it will come up the sides of each cupcake hole some.

Once you have each one filled in with a biscuit then take a small spoon full of the meat/sauce mixture and scoop it onto each flattened biscuit.

Take another biscuit and put it on top of the mixture. Take your finger or a fork and kind of pinch the 2 biscuits together so they seal.
Use a little leftover sauce and put it on top of the biscuit. Top off with as much cheese as you want.

Put in the oven and wait for the time to pass! Once they look done take them out and enjoy! I used some of the left over sauce to spoon it over my peice.(I turned on my broiler for a few to get the tops golden.)
Sorry about the pictures. I had dirty hands during most of this and had the hubby take pictures.

As you can see I have hand me down cookware! It is not dirty I SWEAR!!! Just very used! lol

Well I had planned on talking about my knitting and crocheting in this post but I think this was enough for one post. Tomorrow I will add in my knitting/crocheting from today!

Have a great day and let me know if you try these!!

Mrs.Lawrence

Lazy Fridays

That's what today was. Just a good ol' lazy day!

We only got out of the house to go eat come good chinese food. Then we headed home and crashed in the bedroom...where we still are! lol

About an hour ago we had a small salad and we tried it with some precooked steak pieces in it.I heated them on the stove some. MAN was it good! I am so glad I tried it. Now Tim wants it more often! To bad we only got one pack this week! *giggle*

KNITTING/CROCHETING

Well I finnished one of my Cabled Fingerless Gloves. It look real nice! I have casted on the 2nd one but can't get into it. But I will watch something on Hulu.com and get thru it!

I want to crochet some little food items again. But I need some new patterns. I got the ones from Ravelry but I don't know where else to find them online. If you know a place where there FREE please let me know! I would love you forever! lol

WOOD/FELT

My friend showed me something cute online the other day and I knew I could make them! I didn't want them like the ones I saw but I used the idea. There is a Princess,A Russian and a Gnome King! I think they are very cute. I am not sure if I am going to try and mess them up with faces or not. I think they look cute like they are and if the buyer wishes there to be a face they can do so there self! I am no painter! lol

I do plan on makeing more of them. I just need more clothing ideas. ;)

Well that's all for me tonight. I am going to go watch some Hulu,listen to the hubby cruse out he PS2 game and do some fingerless glove knitting. Have a great one!

Girls Only time!

*I have to write this post in pink!It's only fitting after all!*

So today I went to nana's to visit. While I was there my nana was talking about needing to go to the bank and go to the smoke shop for cigs. I was wanting to go somewhere so I said I would go for her. I figured my cousin Katie who just got her cast off would like to get out of the house. So Katie got ready and we got her to the car. (she is not to use her foot a lot just yet!So we helped her to the car)

While she was getting in another one of my cousins,Annie,showed up. She is home schooled and had finished her work so she was allowed to come to my nana's.(they live next door) I had heard that one of my cousins next door was sick. So I asked nana who it was. It wasn't Annie so I asked her if she wanted to go with us. She jumped for joy! lol

Nana was treating me and Katie to some lunch while we was out doing stuff for her so I said I would just pay for Annie's. I think I could spare $5. but nana said no just go ahead and use some more of her money and pay for Annie's also. Fine! You can talk this lady out of anything so I just give in! lol

We went to the bank to cash a check for nana.Then we went to eat at Steak-N-Shake. I got another Grilled Chicken Salad,Katie got 5-Way Chili and Annie got a Chicken Finger plate. It was all very good!

Me and Katie got done with out food and Annie was only done with her frys! lol She is such a talker and a slow eater. But she never gets out with out her siblings and her other cousin so this was a treat for her. I didn't rush her. To tell the truth I was enjoying myself! I wish I could do this more often. but when you have 4 cousins (I have 6 but one is in NC and the other one does not mess with anyone) its kind of hard to do a lot.

2 don't behave as well as the 2 I had with me today! ;) "She touched me!" "She poked my sore spot!" "He is on my side of the car!" *PUNCH* *Cry* "She hit me!" UGH I can't stand that and that's what my other 2 cousins do ALL the time.

After Annie finished eating we went a block to get my nana's smokes then took the long way home that goes by some animals. Camels,Lamas,Zebras,Emus,Buffalo's,Texas Longhorns and other animals! (I need to take some pictures!) It is privet owened but they allow you to bring food and feed the animals. They only ask you feed them whats on the signs,not to get your car in the grass and not to go in the fence. That isn't asking a lot! I love it there.

But like all good things it had to come to an end. So we headed back to my nana's. I dropped them off and headed home myself.

Once I got home I was hot so I decided to wait a few hours before going to buy grub at Walmart. Nothing exciting happened there. I just bought grub and toilet paper! lol

I started a Cabled Scarf last night. But I did something wrong so I need to rib it out. At the end of some rows you Sl the last st. Then when you turn the work around I was wrapping my yarn wrong and it is all odd looking. I am only 6 rows into it so its no big deal! I might not even restart it. I am not feeling it.

I did find a pair of gloves tonight that I want to knit. So what did I do? I brought out one of those $1.50 skeins of Caron Simply Soft and casted it on. I got the first cable section done.

But I am getting tired. So I figured I would blog about my day then head to bed early. If it is nice tomorrow I would like to go to the park. So maybe I will have some nice pictures to share of our little town park! lol

Sat we might be getting together with our friends. The same ones we was to get together with last weekend. I hope he doens't have over time this wee or I hope we atleast get to see them for a few at a park or IceCream shop. (yes you! I need to chat with someone about knitting! Tim doesn't get it that the pattern wasn't working out. He just says "Ok" and goes about his business! lol) I will also get some pictures from that if it happens.

So that is that and I am going to bed. Hug your loved ones and light a candle for the sick!
