I couldnt get my pics to post so I had to link them...

It's Ruined

So I'm having a few bad days, people are setting me up at work for sh*t I didn't do, own truck's battery died last night, nick forgot to pick me up tonight, and to add insult to injury I get home and tell him that I need to run to the post office tomorrow and mail l out some scarfs some people bought from me. And he was like OH YEA that blue fuzzy scarf is ruined I didn't see that you hung it up on the chandler * where I hang ALL of my scarfs, and he KNOWS this* and I turned it on and burned it...

ok first off he knows for a FACT I hang them up there, its not like you CANT SEE THEM, secondly if a scarf was on a light bulb would you be able to tell because the lack of light? And secondly he is blaming me cause I hung it up there, when I have been doing thins for MONTHS it keeps them out of the way and adds some decorativeness to the room...And for months now he takes them down if they get in the way...

I'm so mad right now...

I'm back after some tears were shed..*seriously*

here is why I'm so upset. I sold this scarf on eBay and all the profit that I had on it is now gone, not only that I have to drive 30 min to get more yarn for it, and on top of which this was my FIRST EVER eBay sell. I was sooo proud of it, I felt like people actually wanted my stuff and now its ruined...

Fat Rat

I know I promised piccies but I have been busy with shopping for my S.P and myself...I will post pics after I finish my slippers I'm making. That's right I'm making slippers! I made a pair the other day butsent them to a freind now I'm making myself a pair with gray wool pak...I have one done so far. It's SOOO cozy! And I talked into PlumpKnitter making a pair also last night LOL. They are REALLY easy to make and fun. I bought some botton to go on mine casue i made teh cuse a bit higher again REALLY CUTE, I'll take pics when I'm done with them...

So I was out today looking for stuff to add to my knitting corner and I rememebered I needed some larger needles, so I walked over looking for 17+ sizes and I couldnt find any, then Nick asked if these were what I was looking for and pointed over at the discount isle, sure enough I found size 17, 19, 35, and 50 all for 4 bucks each, then I was in good will and they had 25 target cotton yarn knitting kits, I bought 3 of them so I could have new yarn LOL. Then I was in the dollar store and they had some 12 quart pots for 5 bucks , I pick one of those up for dyeing

I think I did pretty damn good today LOL

Plus I have been balling my unlabled yarn in my stash to orginize it all, and put all my like yarns together...

I been a pretty busy knitter!

OMG, I forgot I sold a scarf for 60 bucks GO ME!

~Pic Updates!~

I think I want to make another pair and felt them...or a pair of clogs...Jon! I need your clog pattern LOL

Well I ain't never
Been the barbie doll type
No I can't swig that sweet champagne
I'd rather drink beer all night
In a tavern or in a honky tonk
Or on a 4 wheel drive tailgate
I've got posters on my wall of Skynard, Kid and Strait
Some people look down on me
But I don't give a rip
I'll stand barefooted in my own front yard with a baby on my hip

Cause I'm a redneck woman
And I ain't no high class broad
I'm just a product of my raisin'
And I say "hey y'all" and "Yee Haw"
And I keep my Christmas lights on, on my front porch all year long
And I know all the words to every Charlie Daniels song
So here's to all my sisters out there keepin' it country
Let me get a big "Hell Yeah" from the redneck girls like me
Hell Yeah
Hell Yeah

Victoria's Secret
Well their stuff's real nice
Oh but I can buy the same damn thing on a Wal*Mart shelf half price
And still look sexy
Just as sexy
As those models on TV
No I don't need no designer tag to make my man want me
You might think I'm trashy
A little too hard core
But get in my neck of the woods
I'm just the girl next door

Hey I'm redneck woman
And I ain't no high class broad
I'm just a product of my raisin'
And I say "hey y'all" and "Yee Haw"
And I keep my Christmas lights on, on my front porch all year long
And I know all the words to every Tanya Tucker song
So here's to all my sisters out there keeping it country
Let me get a big "Hell Yeah" from the redneck girls like me
Hell Yeah
Hell Yeah

I'm redneck woman
And I ain't no high class broad
I'm just a product of my raisin'
And I say "hey y'all" and "Yee Haw"
And I keep my Christmas lights on, on my front porch all year long
And I know all the words to every Ol' Bocephus song
So here's to all my sisters out there keeping it country
Let me get a big "Hell Yeah" from the redneck girls like me
Hell Yeah
Hell Yeah

Hell Yeah
Hell Yeah
Hell Yeah
Hell Yeah

I Said Hell Yeah
