my thoughts today

as i sit her thinking about the way things were today, i get a awful feeling in my stomach about the lies we were told about a member of the ville', more than that, it saddens me that she felt she had to go to these extremes. why not just quite. why lie about it
i am just bewildered as to why anyone who was any kind of a friend, would stoop to this level. i am just at a loss for words.i will always wonder why, as i am sure we will not be seing this person and subject anymore. how incredibly sad. thats all i can say. i am deeply hurt, and angry and yes even down right pissed about this, but most of all i don;t understand what happned and what is actually the truth.


enough about the drama


i started another shawl this one is a off white boucle' that i am just falling in love with. its going to be might hard to choose which shawl to send to becky. lolwill have to choose soon though as i know the swap will end before too long.

i need to send my sp her othr package, this will most likely be the last one, as it is the reveal package. i have a lot of goodies for her but will not say anything more. i case she reads my blog LOL.


well i am happy to say i feel blessed to have kind friends who care about me and worried about how i felt about this all. thank you all of you, deneen, angela(fruggs) wendy (earth whisper) and to all of you who also cared enough to ask how i felt about it. today is the 5th anniversary of my daddys death. 5 years ago today, he passed away content in his death as he was in life. the very sad thing is i didn't get to say good bye to him
i had had my surgery and was not able to travel which i will always regret.



daddy

i was bad, bad, bad tsk tsk tsk

i was soooooooo bad tonight. hehe, i decided to look on e-bay for some material for a dear friend, well after she got off the web(smart girl) i kept surfing the e-bay site. somehow it brought me to the yarn department once again
gosh is nice to get to spend a little money on my favorite thing, this will probably be my last buying for a while as i have to save up for some summer things and will not have a extra 50.00 to buy yarn when i need to save up for plants and such. i will wait till i get the yarns and then take a picture of it all. where am i going to put it all. gosh i am bad bad bad!:)silly too, but thats part of the fun, i also finished another shawl, means i have made 3 in less than 4 days(would have had that last one done, but i fell asleep) am also almost done with another poncho, this one is for my sp i hope she likes it. its going to be part of my reveal package. i am hoping i hear from my sp soon besides just e-cards, while those are nice, is frustrating to see everyone getting stuff and i have not recieved anything/ she says she sent me a package so wll see when that comes. i am sure i will love it whatever it is. will be sending the shawl i made to becky off this week too. hope she likes it also. these swaps have been alot of fun and i signed up for the summer scarf one, i should have no problem with that as i am always making scarfs both fancy smancy ones and also more heavier traditional ones. although for the swap its for light weight. got just the yarn i need too. hehehehehe


this weekend was spent working. friday night went through my craft room and got rid of some stuff to make room for new stuff, but now since i bought more, i need to go through it and delete more of the stock, mostly have homes for most of it, but there is a bit that is looking for a new home, only requirment is pre paid postage as i can not afford to send without getting it back and since i have been stiffed many times on that area , unfortenetly will have to ask for the money ahead of time. if you are intersted in any yarn i might not need please either e-mail me( my e-mail addy is on the forum, just look for my name and when it says to send a e-mail use that option) or just post a note and i will read it and see. then leave me your name and if you want some of it and we can work it out that way. i have many colors although as i said some has already been claimed and some i am keeping as i have projects lined up(like with what i got from robert lol)that is staying.


is it spring at your house, it is at mine, tomorrow will go out and take a few flower pictures and show you how my yard is starting to come to life. my most favorite of the plants are the flowering trees and shrubs, the star magnolia, which we got for less than 5.00 few years ago is so pretty. flowers are coming out and the frangrance is awesome. wish you all could smell how good it smells
the tulips and daffodils also are blooming like crazy, as well as our camelia bush, this poor thing was knocked over in the winter from a ice storm/snow storm and if i had not gone out there and knocked it all off (the snow and ice) the bush would have died. as it was it broke one of the feeder roots, but so far the main plant looks very healthy.

am almost done with another animal backpack, its a kitty this time and is actually darling even if i do say so myself., again hope to finish that within the week and post it also. i have many ideas i want to make, one being a patch work free form purse for myself(although i know i will probably end up giving it away anyways!!!) i almost always do when i make something special. although have been trying to sell alot of things too, been busy making more and more for the summer farmers market. it should be a lot of fun and hopefully a money maker for myself. lol

to all of my friends, and even those who read this and i am not as friendly with, i bid you all a great week and that you have sunshine in your life and many happy days this year and always. god bless and keep you always in his care.

have a great week and stay tuned for my latest projects coming soon hehehe.

my latest projects are....

i am so in love with this yarn i got from deborah stone off of e-bay, her stores name is spincityarns. she is a awesome seller and very dependable., i have never had a moments regrets buying fromher. she sent me this awesome mixed colors and its a acrylic mohair, i mixed it with some multi colored lurex from melanie greene of fiber options, also a e-bay store. again this seller if awesome. now i have 2 of these shawls made so am done, am looking for something different to make. i think i might get busy on a doily for my sp, today i got her all kinds of goodies for the reveal package. speaking of the reveal package, is quite a experiance being a secret pal, one i have enjoyed alot. i am really curious as to what my sp is sending me, as i have not recieved anything but some e-cards and a couple of e-mails sending me happyness and cheer :), but i am sure what ever it is i will enjoy it especially if it is made from the heart. i would so much rather have someone make me something no matter how small it was , than spend a ton of money on me trying to impress me. i need to get busy too and make a few more small raoks and then get my rear in gear for the summer selling season. i am hoping these shawls and ponchos as well as a good money maker. i am trying to make enough to help my sis get the stone for moms grave. it is looking kind of bare right about now. hopefully they are going to. i also want to make a few summer scarfs and then maybe get into doing a few beaded things like a purse, omgosh, would i love to make kathy whites beaded purses. i bought her pattern for the memory one . its red/white and blue, and she made it as a way to honor all of the brave men and women who died on 9-11-01. speaking of that. my dear friend jane who lives in new york, who knows i collect post cards, sent me one of new york harbor, prior to the terrorit attack, with the 2 twin towers of the world trade center. i plan on finihing this year, my god bless america statue of liberty picture , i had hoped to get it done before the fair so i could get my dd to professionally frame it(thats what she does, is certified and all)and then enter it. possibly selling it or not , a tremendous project i have in mind to finish in 06, so will suprised if i can get it done.might have to frog it and start it over. waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa lol, but it has kind of lost my interest the way it is as of now, so am going to bid you a good night, not good bye, just a simple quick see ya tomorrow, cause its late and i have projects in mind. hehehe, well should i tell you?nope don't think i will huggggs to you all. god bless and keep you in his care
.

rant in progress

i am so angry about what happened this last week. on wensday the last day i was able to get on to the net wensday night and all was well hursday night when i went to sign on, my computer would not letme, my son was convinced i had picked up a worm as theentire computer kept saying the same thing over and over. well then i checked my files , no problems with that. so needless to say was not a happy camper when i could not get in. well then i said fine maybe it will be fixed in the morning. got up signed on same damn thing happened, so i called aol to seeif maybe they had been having problems. well they were having alot of problems , seems that norton , the protection i had just bought, payed 90.00 for as i got the one that was the best. ect ect ect. seems it decided that when they did a automatic update, it shut my internet service off,. when i turned the worm protection off, could get into aol,. but i could not be with out the worm protection, obviously. i tried to reach syneticsthe parent company of norton, and they were not helpful at all. i told them what was happening and what my computer was trying to do to protect itself from itself.(see i had that one figured out fast enough) well when i first called i was told there was a software glitch and that how to fix it was to turn the worm protection off then go online and download the updates, which i did. k so you would think problem solved, turned the worm protection back on
bam locked out again, did this off and on all day trying to get someone to help me, aol was kind and gracious(even though it was not their fault they did try and help me,was sooo not their fault that this stupid virus/worm whole system, package i had just bought , would not let me in. once again i call norton, this time when asked why i was still calling (they keep track) i said well i was calling to find out why my computer was being shut down as far as internet . what i recieved from this company who caused this problem with their software causing a glitch in aol's service, was nothing short of appalling, i was and am still so mad at this company i will NEVER ever buy norton anything again. while they proclaim themselves in being the best virus protection out there, i disagree and i can tell you with first hand knowledge that their company sucks. the people were rude, granted they were getting a lot of calls, but when their patch did not work on my computer they should have told me what else to do. so basicly what i ended up doing was this. uninstalling norton from my laptop, stay off the net until i have protection, get pretection from another company which i did at the grand old total of 80.00. more money for the 1st one norton, but the fact was their software glitched my computer and i had to delete them from my computer as fast as i could and reinstall a better and much nicer software program. macafee is just as good and should the problem ariseble to any questions that they would be kind and gracious. i was so mad i wanted to smack the people at norton. now i am wondering if anyone else has had this problem

problem with that company, and to my suprise, yesterday at costco(as he was eyeballing their soft ware in the computer software aisle) this man was looking at norton products,
i told him basicly what had happened and wanted to warn him of what had happened to me, i was

then procedeed to be so shocked as this man told me that same thing had happened to him, and norton denied it,and that it had been 2 years ago.............................................................................

it reminds me of the social security association, you qualify, but if it decides it don't like you or your voice don't
sound like it is handicapped, buzzz your history


but thats another story for another post. needless to say, i certainly would not ever ever ever buy another syntec product , that includes all of their norton products. they should be ashamed of them selves, but what i really am mad about is how they treated me the customer. someone who had been a customer for years. well no more and should they ever feel the need to attempt to contact me due to my attempted service repair wih them i would certainly tell them what a crappy company they are. kay now this rant is offically over and on to better things

what a weekend sheesh

well today is sunday and i managed to make it through the weekend without any problems. i am glad things are better for some of you, was nice talking to donna and elizabeth (nursefrawg)and cristina, and trish too, we had a nice chat and is not so bad being on yahoo. i actually like it more now. i did go into the chat room on the forum as fran was there and i wanted to talk to her. yesterday i spent most of my time cleaning my craft room area, well here i thought i could get all my yarn in there ,. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, FAT CHANCE!!!! i have 6 huge boxes without a home, so its back to the craft room this week to make more room, well its like this. ya know all that new yarns out there? all of those awesome e-bay finds? HAHA, traitors is what they are. so now once again i have to go through all of my boxes of yarn and then choose which ones which will become homeless. i wonder if there is a homeless place for stray yarns LOL. i know i am silly hehehehe,finished more squares for comfortghans and will send those squares out to their families this week. been kind of crazy around here. i finished another poncho, is the same greens as the last one i made, and am about half way done with another blue one. i need to sit down and go over what becky would like for the shawl/stole swap. i have some awesome yarn i am going to make her shawl with. am waiting for it to come from hawaii. its just awesome. also am waiting for jimbo to finish my hook i sent him the wood for.the wood came from our corkscrew willow tree that we have had forever. its slowly dying so to have a hook made by him out of that wood, well its just priceless. will send him the money as soon as he tells me.

speaking of goodies, well i have to tell ya, the shea buttah and the hand made soap i bought from deneen is just awesome. i can not imaginehow anyone could do with othet them, speaking of i need to order some more of the buttah as my mil loves mine and i am forever hiding it and putting it safely away from here and all the other snatchers of my goodies LOL


speaking of mil, hubby and i went over there today for our weekly visit and that sweetie insisted on giving me a little money so i can buy yarn. like i NEED YARN!!!!, i had bought her a longer phone cord and she loved it so she gave me that money plues a little extra. thanks mom.
while
were there, hubbys uncle called from michigan. he rocks, is a super nice person. well dear friends, i need to get off this computer and go to bed. am just beat. you all take care and hope ya all have a great day. sending lots of hugs to my friends and others too, see i am a nice person LOl, talk with ya all tomorrow. take care and god bless and keep you. hugs to ya all.

a day in my life lol

today started out plain cruddy, it freaking snowed last night and we had to scrape the damn stuff off of my windows and also make sure that there was no ice on the antena, otherwise can not use the stereo in my car and i so can not drive without having my music blasting lol. chatted with friends tonight oh yahoo. its much nicer and i am not worried about my privacy being invaded. subject now closed. i did spend some time in the ville' reading posts and also reading some blogs. i have so many i would like to read, but gosh never find the time.

crocheted a huge amount of comfortghan squares. will send them all out tomorrow. how cool is that. at least 4 people will have my squares in their ghan.

got my lilac colored lurex today from melanie at fiber options on e-bay. there is enough on the roll to last me a while so i am going to make a pinapple shawl or maybe a rose shawl out of the thread and the lurex. how cool will that be uh? pretty huh?


omg i was so mad today when i came home. there is this stray cat who is trying to attack my kittys. i wish i could trap them and take them to the human society. our sheleter has a no kill policy, so i would not feel bad about taking them down there,

chatted with christina tonight and michael also. he is getting scared cause the chemo starts on monday. i tried to reassure him but its so damn hard since i have never had to go through anything like thi myself. but if ya all wanted to dsomething to cheer him up let me know a d i will semd them to him, hope ya all get to do what you want to do in your life. god bless and keep you all. huggggs

what a day

well today was interesting to say the least. it started off when my lil sis called me and gave me her new phone number, seems like our creepy uncle has been bugging her. so she finally said screw it and got a new number. i went to lowes today to see about the prices for some metal garages. not to bad so now have to decide do we spend the money or what should we do. me i vote spend the money cause hubby said if this works out with a little one, then when we can afford it we will get a bigger one and make the smaller one into a craft store for me. we are zoned commercial here anyways so i can legal have a place of business. how cool would that be.

today got some awesome soap from deneen. she sells it and i got 3 nice sized bars for 10.50 and that included shipping. the money is headed your way deneen. thanks my friend.

went to the dentist then this after noon, seems the temperary filling he put in decided to head south and broke away, and since it was a front tooth i sure as heck did not want it to show lol

so now thats all done, been crocheting alot too trying to get the comfort ghan squares made for all the people i offered to make them for. gosh i think i have made enough to make at least 4 of my own lol, but its such a awesome way to share your love and concern and it so makes a difference in their lives, when my brother had a brain tumor i made him the sofest ghan i could and he said it sooo made the difference. thats why i am doing one for michael for his stomach cancer, he starts chemo next week so have to get that done and sent express, damn thats going to cost me a pretty bundle. oh well its only money

speaking of money
today i thought i would play the scratch lottery tickets, i do them now and again, not on a steady thing or anything, but for some reason i chose today to do iut, i bought a 5.00 ticket and as i was scratching the numbers off i was in total amazment. first there was a 2.00 win, then a 5.00, then a 10.00 another 2. then the big one. a 40.00 one. hotdog, made me a little money today hehehehe of course i am going to save that since i have a ton of things that i need to pay soon like house taxes and what not. :-{. well i finished the squares for tandy for teresa's brothers ghan he is going to auction off and donate the money to diabeties research as i am going to donate the 15% of the hat sales to cancer research. i know there is a clue out there to heal these awful diseases. and some day will find it and many people will be healed.

well am getting tired and need to finish this last square then check at the forum to see who else i told i would make squares and what sizes and colors. i seriously doubt i will post much of anything there anymoe, i feel betrayed, i thought i had found a place where most people were kind and not rude as most of the ones on the web have turned out to be, but alas, i was wrong and for those of you who don't know what i am talking about. well its as simple as this. we have been spyed upon while we are in chat talking about the things we thought were private. how sad it has become because of a small select few who try their damndest to make problems for people. so i will not get to chat with new people, who can ya trust that is not a spy, i won't get to make new friends. how do i know they are not there to cause problems see what i mean. i refuse to be a part of that . i will do my swaps as i signed up for them but i doubt i will do much more on there as i don't feel like i am a part of the place it use to be, when i joined this forum people were nice, they cared, and now its like no one gives a damn about anyones feelings. there are some who say what they feel and who cares if it hurts others, but then if someone says something about them that they don't like well its like this we get spied upon. so not worth the stress and hassle. i think from now on i am going to cut my computer time down to make more things crocheted. i need to make some money soon and i think if i can sell some stuff that might make me feel better about life and how unfair it is sometimes. i hope all of you will keep in touch with me and e-mail me so i can give you my messenger info and we can chat there, which ever one you prefer, i have aol, yahoo and msn. so pick a place and lets get talking without sensorship or people being snoopy, its their site and they have the right i guess, personally i think its against my 1st ammendment rights to the right of free speech. till tomorrow my dear and true friends . i bid you a awesome good night and we can chat tomorrow on any of the above messingers. e-mail me and i will tell you all the info there. hugggggs love ya all and god bless ya all

another day ho hum lol

today was a typical tuesday, woke up crocheted, ate breakfast, crocheted, went to walmart and costco, came home crocheted lol, seems i crocheted over half the day today gosh, well i have a lot of squares to get done and now know i have to get michaels afghan done as he is going to be starting chemo on monday and i so want him to have it to make him feel better. is hard to believe how bad things can be so fast.i pray that this treatment kills the cancer for good now and that he recovers fully and without any side effects that are so bad. i noticed that there is a few comments about donating to cancer society, well there is more to it then that. my nephew has requested that the money i am donating from the sale of the hats i am making for him and his friends to support him, to the university of washington cancer research center. which i still have to get the money from the hats so i can send the donation all at once.

am also making more squares for comfortghans. have a few to make and will get those done this weekend.

the weather is weird this week, just when ya think its spring coming, then bam more winter is here. suppose to get really cold and all this week. possible snow they said. well phooey i say i want summertime to come and warm weather. i am envious of you who live in sunny warm weather send some my way please lol

well i received my name for the stole/shawl swap, its becky hedden , who i will make something thats not tooo hot as she is one of the people who live in sunny country lol. i am so jealous becky lol


tonight chatted with friends on yahoo as i feel like i am being spyed upon in the crochetville chat. seems some people complain and we all suffer. oh well i know this is their right as the administrators of this particular space on the web, and as such they have the right to make their own rules, but sensorship seems a but much to me, there no more need be said. to those of you who are my friends, i adore you all, for the rest of ya. hope ya all have a nice day said with sugar sweet smile plastered upon my face. . seems we all have a opinion, but only a few count.

tomorrow is another day and i hope all of MY friends have a awesome fantastic wendsnday. i am off to croceht with my new yarn i got today off of e-bay. must remember to post positive feedback for this seller. she rocks. goodnight to ya all take care and god bless, keep the faith it can only get better. hugggs

i had a awesome day

today was a great day for me, although tiring LOL, first off hubby and i went over to his mom and dads, as his dad asked us to come and pick up the recycled cans he saved for us. we also save them and when we get over 100 pounds of aluminum we take it in and often will get as much as 60.00, well i know that don't sound like much, but if you think about it,, this is something many people throw away right? lol

then we came home for a little bit and unloaded the cans then hubby got ready and we decided we were going to head out for a bit, well our first intention was to go to seattle to qwest field. homeof the seattle seahawks out awesome pro ball team here lol, today they were having a show called the seattle roadster show, which is older cars and alot of fun we are thinking. right? wellllll we headed north towards seattle and ended up in auburn which is a small town between seattle and tacoma. we thought more and more about it and hubby asked me
how bad do you want to go, i said well not that bad as i was adding the cost up in my head , for parking admission gas ect. and we think more about it and said forget it, so we went for a long ride instead. was relaxing and as we headed back to tacome hubby asked where i would like to eat. well today was so beautiful i said why not head home and barbeque new york steaks, he says that sounds pretty good to me too lol, so we came back home and had our bbq'd steak and steak frys and salad, oh and home made garlic bread yummmy lol. today i also recieved a lovely raok today from suzee, she sent me 2 skeins of lovely yarn made with aloe. is so soft but will so enjoy making something nice with this yarn. she also sent me a awesome hand written card. honest to goodness snail mail woooooooo hooooooo suzee and i have become awesome friends these last few weeks on our chat in aim and also in the chat room at the ville'.. i was able to upload some pictures off of my camera today onto the computer..... this is a couple of them so i hope you enjoy them till tomorrow my dear friends i send you hugggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggs lol well it seems that blogger is having difficultys in uploading pictures to its site so i will try again tomorrow. huggggs my friends

what is wrong with people

i just want to say my 2 cents wirht here. i wish people would stop being so unkind and cruel. why does a person have to be so darn mean and nasty. what is wrong with treating other with the respect and kindness you want them to treat you with. i hope that this nastiness has stopped and that it comes to a end. period. end of my rant

now to bigger and better things. march is national crochet month ( so i was informed by a friend at crochetville. so in honor of it i have decided to crochet something and donate it in honor of my faamily. now what to make and donate. hmmmm now i need think about what i want to make besides chemo caps for my nephew, which by now most of you know he has stomach cancer and is facing chemo in the next couple weeks. so we devised a plan to help him get through this hard time. i am making chemo caps for him while also making matching caps for his friends to wear, and after costs for me such as material and shipping, and a small amount for my time, they will get this awesome cap which so far we have 15 hats ordered not counting his.

today i sent jimbo some of the willow wood i had saved when hubby was trimming the trees so i could send them so i could have a part of my favorite tree.
this is a cork screw willow tree that blew down in a wind storm the day before i had my son. hubby and i watched from the safety of the house(well i was almost 10 months preggo then as he w as late on top of it all that) well this tree layed down all winter, i remember how suprised i was when i went out there in the spring with my son and found it all budded out, here it layed all through the cold months, was just amazing as far as i am concerned, so thats the story of my willow hook i hope jimbo can make for me. i sent several pieces in hopes that at least one would work, would be great if more than one did, but will settle for just one if thats all i can get, please jimbo could you let me know when you get it please. well i am off to bed as i only got about 3 hours of sleep. i hope ya all have a wonderful weekend and god bless and keep you. hugggs to you all
