We are moving the date that we will be dying to Sept 3rd.. this is in the afternoon at 1:30 and will run until we finish dying! So bring a natural fiber yarn, a ball winder and skein winder if you have one and some friends.. there will be a minimal charge for the dye and you can purchase some Briggs and Little yarn to dye if you don't have any! This should be fun.. oh better wear some old clothes just in case! and your current project too, in case there is time for sitting and stitching!
Hope to see you there.. if you want to come and don't know how to get here or want to find out more about our guild please contact me at knitwithme@hotmail.com

Wow! I was just offered a vacation that I just cannot pass up.. a long drive out west to Kamloops, BC with my parents.. yes I am going to leave my hubby and daughter at home and drive out for 3-4 weeks!
so what does that do for our guild and lessons???? well I am going to have this week's lessons and Guild but next weeks lesson and Guild will be put on hold until next month.. that is right until May.
.. so the last one of the block that was for the wednesday group will be held on May 13th unless you want to come tomorrow and friday afternoon.. we will talk more tomorrow.....
The Guild night will be cancelled for April. Except this thursday's! It will resume on the Wednesday May 13th.. form 7-9 pm....and May 21st in the afternoon 1:30 -3pm.
I know this is fast and I just made the schedule but opportunities like this don't come very often.. in fact they don't usually come at all.....so I hope to see you this week.. if not see you in May..
I will still be able to email as my mom is bringing her laptop and with technology and wireless internet I can keep up to date and still book lessons for May as well....
now to get packing.. what will I bring.. .to knit of course.. a month of knitting.. wow.. I can really do some serious knitting while driving 10 hours a day!
I finished my grand daughters 2nd sock today while visiting with my mom.. so a sock a day would be 30 socks or 15 pairs.. mmmm.. maybe an afghan for my Aunt as a thank you.. must go.. so much to do....
take care!

Time to Sort and Clean
All the hoops and stretcher bars are gone! I've cleaned out another box ..yeah! Now for the notions.... this box needs to be sorted and listed. I do have someone interested in this..a store of course but guild night...Feb 9th at 6:30 anyone interested can purchase any notion separate before I sell it as a complete package. I will give you 50% taxes included! Also I will have another few boxes of yarn that I need to clear out on sale this night too! If you need directions call me at 905-357-1312 or email me knitwithme@hotmail.com .
I am glad that the year end books are done except for packing them up and filing them. Cleaning out my desk...and the filing cabinets are next on the agenda.. along with straightening out my cabinets downstairs. Time managment.. need to make schedules.. my calander is filled. When does one take a day off to watch a movie or just to grab a good book???
My schedule is busier than ever! I forgot what it was like to be a stay at home mom! Brittany has been able to participate in after school sports like baseball, basketball. In past I could not always gaurantee rides home afterwards as she was bused. She is also taking gymnastics and is very active in her youth group at our church this past year and that sure has had me hopping! Now I am even taking my grand daughter to Cubby's.
Making a lot more meals from scratch sure takes up time! I miss hubby having suppers started or done by the time I got home from the store! I am going to have to search out some new recipes.. ones for diabetics and good healthy but low calorie ones for me....anyone have any tried and true ones I would love to share! I will have to start to make two different meals too as hubby is quite fussy when it comes to food!
Time out for me: I went to the hairdressers and did a complete makeover and went straight...fun and what a treat! I am going back next week for a dye job too!
I have lost 6 pounds on my Wii diet...which is just cutting back.. no eating after 7pm and playing Wii for 1 hour a day! I am still looking for my Wii fit as the stores are always sold out. I have enough Zellers points to actually get one for free! It pays to save for 7 years and not use the points.. 7 long years but I have been overweight for ???..I will really appreciate it when I have one! I think by spring I should have one?
until next time...
love ya
