Merry Christmas / Happy Holidays

It's been awhile since I have posted. Not sure where time goes but I am one of the many procrastinators and have spent the past few weeks trying to get all of my shopping done. I am happy to say that I am done! Now I just have to finish wrapping them all. I received an award that I will be posting and passing on to 5 others in the next day or two. I hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday!

Playing in the snow

We made it to NY yesterday morning. It was a long ride and then my kids were excited because there was lot's of snow to play in. First thing they did was bundle up and head outside.

Yuck! Snow!

We are headed to upstate NY for Thanksgiving. I love to go home to visit but I really hate the snow. You would think after growing up where 4 foot of snow(maybe a slight exaggeration) in a few days or a week is nothing and that I would be used to it but, I absolutely hate to be cold and wet. It is pretty to look at just not to go out in. Go over to my husbands blog and check out the latest pics of my in-laws place to see what I am in for, Electricians Notes.

Here is the latest scarf I made for my Mom. I am not thrilled with how it turned out but she will love it anyway.

Frustrated

I am extremely frustrated tonight. I love to crochet but lately I have been trying to find additional crafts to add to my list of "Accomplishments". I just recently taught myself to sew and made new kitchen curtains and they turned out really nice (cheesing).
Here's where the frustration starts. I was not happy with just crocheting and learning to sew, I decided I needed to teach myself to knit as well. Mind you I am a very determined person and I am somebody who is determined to master anything I set my mind to. Well......I picked up a learning to knit kit at Walmart and started to teach myself. After 2 days I am just not getting it. Being the type of person that I am I will keep trying until I learn it but I am not a patient person. I want to master it now, not later. I guess maybe this is my lesson in patience....this should be an interesting learning experience.

This is how I am feeling right about now:

Yeah....candy!
