Knitting Classes

The library has asked that I continue to teach until the students are done or no one is coming. I am so excited!!! I love to teach and the ladies that I am teaching have been so much fun. I have 7 regulars, 4 occasional and 4 more that have signed up, but not come yet. My youngest student is 8 and she is doing so well. She was the only one knitting loss in the beginning and now I think her tension is evening out. The rest of the ladies started out knitting tight and I think they are beginning to even out as well. They are all doing great! My next class is Monday at 1pm, and I will continue to teach on Mondays at 1pm, until they get tired of me. :-)

I am so glad that I am getting to do this and hope it lasts for a while.

I made the socks.

I decided on the red heart socks that Jessica mentioned. Here is a picture of the finished socks. :-)




I made them with merino and nylon, so they are very soft and feel great. I am so excited that they turned out so nice!!!!

Knitting

I have been knitting a bunch here recently and playing with patterns. I also have had a library ask me to start teaching lessons for them once a week and make some things for a raffle they want to have. They thought something for Valentines would be nice. I would love peoples ideas of what to make for Valentines.

I had a friend tell me I should make a pair of socks with hearts and Love written on it. I really like that idea, but would love to hear what you all think. :-)

Gloves, socks, scarf, hat, or something totally different.

Let me know!

Thanks!!!

Dining Rooms Direct

This online store is fantastic. I got on the other day just to browse and found all kinds of neat treasures. They have everything from dining room furniture to dishes. The site is very easy to use, you can search by brand, price range, colors, and so many more options. You have got to visit the site Dining Rooms Direct, it is wonderful!!! They sent me a set of highball glasses, they are part of the NotNeutral brand. I have had them for about a week and used them a few times now. They are beautiful and I loved using them so far. They look amazing with my dishes and everyone that has seen them asks me where I got them. Check out the site Dining Rooms Direct and especially the NotNeutral brand.

One Lucky Reader will get $30 off their order.

Loving being a Mama

Kathryn and Natalya are doing great and getting so big. Natalya is 6 months old now and getting so big. She is almost too big for the 6-9 month old clothes. :-) Natalya is trying to sit up by herself and she rolls all over the place. She makes a ton of noise too. It is great!!! Kathryn is getting so much more talkative and speaks more clearly. She loves to be in the same room as I am and is into playing kitchen and baby dolls. It is so cute!!! The other day she came through the house and told me she would be right back, then she came back through and told me that she was back. She is adorable!!!

I love being a Mama!

Getting ready to Move. :)

I love organizing and going through things and deciding what to keep and what to get rid of. It is fun and makes me feel like I am making lots of progress.

We are closing on our new house this Thursday in the afternoon!!!! I am so excited!

I think we are going to try to get some things fixed up at the house and then paint. We will not be moving in until after we get the painting and fixing up done. We hope to be in the new house the middle to end of July. :-) It will be great!

Better get back to work now.
