After finishing some chores at home, we went to knitting. Well, I am the only one who knits. DH says he is an enabler or a knitting supporter. He certainly knows more about knitting than the non-knitter on the street. :) After a few hours at the Urban Sheep we went to the <a href="http://www.shopvintagefairemall.com">VINTAGE FAIRE MALL</a> to Eat at the Fresh Grill Mongolian BBQ. The Fresh Grill Mongolian BBQ has a special right now where you receive a free medium drink with the purchase of a large entree order on Tuesdays. I don't know how long this special lasts, but this is our second Tuesday going. Yum Yum! I have even managed to learn to use chop sticks!! <br /><br />Have a Beautiful Day!Angelbibityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14584502239376595523noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5614452898275989213.post-82128284025097110322010-07-09T13:11:00.000-07:002010-07-09T13:50:04.186-07:00Nutriton Class and the New Food Pyramid.This morning DH and I went to a Nutrition Class. <a href="http://mypyramid.gov">The new food pyramid</a> is a little confusing. All of the daily recommendations are broken down into ounces and cups as opposed to portions. The website is interesting with a menu planner and a my pyramid tracker. Our second class on reading labels will be in 2 weeks. I am looking forward to it.<br /><br />I have had a bit of a lull in my knitting this week. I just haven't done much knitting this week. I went to my knitting group on Tuesday and I was the only one there. I was unable to attend knitting Kindness on Wednesday because the Urban Sheep was closed while the floors are being worked on, and I wasn't able to go to knitting on Thursday. Yesterday, I Knitted the second yellow cotton bootie. Now, I have a pair that match the little yellow cotton hat that I crocheted last week! I hope to have photos up soon. Today, I was knitting the light pink baby cardigan while waiting for the class to begin. Our instructor wants to see it in 2 weeks. I should have it finished by then. <br /><br />I am planning to go to knitting on Saturday at the Urban Sheep now that it is open again. Knitting does my spirit good!<br /><br />Have a Beautiful Day!Angelbibityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14584502239376595523noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5614452898275989213.post-46368572337403936492010-07-05T20:26:00.000-07:002010-07-05T21:02:55.624-07:00Knitting Around!I've been knitting a many lovely baby items lately. We have 1 dear friend and 4 family members expecting a bundle of joy in the not so distant future. I recently found out that DH's cousin is expecting twins. That's a total of 6 babies that need some knitted love. I have decided that I love to knit baby items. You can knit so much love into a tiny baby hat or booties. Thus far I have made 2 sweaters and I am currently knitting a cute light pink cardigan.<br /><br />Here is a photo of my second sweater:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3uP1VvUD6E8CEq9IrxA2SRiR2YnaVcmO6SzsCIlZrJc6WDZ-MuKn8NMcyEcYnKm3SCbSL_dxO7GQpkeXD5kuej1t8aEgmYcHNf_g_fNbldsXHunUmuG9uppg5JVpqqK9OdwjBdLx9NXY/s1600/S5031476.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3uP1VvUD6E8CEq9IrxA2SRiR2YnaVcmO6SzsCIlZrJc6WDZ-MuKn8NMcyEcYnKm3SCbSL_dxO7GQpkeXD5kuej1t8aEgmYcHNf_g_fNbldsXHunUmuG9uppg5JVpqqK9OdwjBdLx9NXY/s200/S5031476.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490630253360840946" border="0" /></a><br />I think that I may have enough yarn left for little socks to go with it! <br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">I have been a busy bee last week:</span><br /><br />I finished an adorable Preemie hat. It looks like a little watermelon colored dollop. I am donating this hat to Knitting Kindness at <a href="http://www.theurbansheep.com">The Urban Sheep</a>. Knitting Kindness is a group that meets Wednesdays 12noon-2pm to knit charity items for our local area. I usually go at 1pm after I get off work.

It was our 1st 3d movie in the new digital 3d. It was amazing! We had a fantastic time.<br /><br />I just finished a knitted lace hat for myself last night. Just in time too. It is getting very chilly here and I got my hair cut last week. I am also working on a side slip cloche for myself. It may end up for someone else when I am done. :) Here is a photo of it:<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilDDc6AmhuriOjEmjFfwV2ODY1K4kvdC1_odSpk6T5-x2e7RArrhQvN9gJ9To6cWAMNYRpPXeE2eEklBZfHMfmKOQikJGhF8A_iO3QHduGDM4a3c_I7MwiUXY9KmC2AUBUM_HNxlbF9F0/s1600-h/51ZVkazOo9L._SL500_AA240_.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilDDc6AmhuriOjEmjFfwV2ODY1K4kvdC1_odSpk6T5-x2e7RArrhQvN9gJ9To6cWAMNYRpPXeE2eEklBZfHMfmKOQikJGhF8A_iO3QHduGDM4a3c_I7MwiUXY9KmC2AUBUM_HNxlbF9F0/s200/51ZVkazOo9L._SL500_AA240_.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5402914293912159042" border="0" /></a><br />I have been working on some fleece blankets with crocheted edges for my family.

To commemorate this silly and fun day, I watched "Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl" with my client. I got called into work this morning for a few hours. We had fun. I said "Arrgh, it's talk like a pirate day. And we is watching a Pirate movie!" and he laughed and signed yes! :)<br /><br />The <a href="http://orphan.org/index.php?id=40">Red Scarf Project</a> is taking donations! I am looking for a pattern to make my donation. There is still plenty of time to knit a scarf to donate, but I need to hurry up and choose a pattern.<br /><p class="bodytext">The submission period for the next Red Scarf initiative is set for <strong>September 1, 2009 through December 15, 2009</strong>. Send scarves to: </p> <p class="bodytext"><strong>Orphan Foundation of America<br />The Red Scarf Project<br />21351 Gentry Drive<br />Sterling, VA 20166</strong> </p><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Guidelines for Knitters:<br /></span><strong>Scarf Size:</strong> Approximately 60" long and 5" to 8" wide. Scarves should be long enough to be wrapped around the neck, with tails long enough to be tied in the front. </span><!-- Image block: [begin] --> <!-- Text: [begin] --> <p class="bodytext"><span style="font-size:85%;"><strong>Style:</strong> Think unisex collegiate. Ask yourself if your son, brother, and/or husband would enjoy receiving the scarf. Fringes are optional. Your scarf should drape and tie easily. </span></p> <p class="bodytext"><span style="font-size:85%;"><strong>Yarn:</strong> Preferably DK, double fingering-weight, worsted weight, or light bully yarns. No laceweight, super-chunky, or mohair yarns as there are many people who find mohair too itchy. The yarn should be soft. </span></p> <p class="bodytext"><span style="font-size:85%;"><strong>Color:</strong> Red! However, this could mean burgundy, cherry, russet, red stripes with other colors, or multicolor hues including red. Other unisex colors, including black, navy, teal, olive or gold are also welcome. </span></p> <p class="bodytext"><span style="font-size:85%;"><strong>Finished and tagged:</strong> Yarn ends should be securely sewn in. For a personal touch, attach a tag saying "Handmade for You" with your first name, city, and group affiliation, if any. Donors have also included washing instructions, messages of encouragement, gift cards, burger bucks, books of stamps, etc.</span></p>Angelbibityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14584502239376595523noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5614452898275989213.post-44001164449053947342009-09-17T10:55:00.000-07:002009-09-17T11:06:36.911-07:00Good Grief what am I up to now?<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgu4uROXGLA78tMftYn7-n1O2whM_DQnz4f2wfPBg1bWTX5PajknkRtv0vRJU3PtYMdC2qEeyIlRdVYJPY1O0GLHOqUpzaVKU1W-_1qqkiTdmira2Y-QjGr-q7-ZKI42rEC62JyAD0BNKM/s1600-h/S5031273.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgu4uROXGLA78tMftYn7-n1O2whM_DQnz4f2wfPBg1bWTX5PajknkRtv0vRJU3PtYMdC2qEeyIlRdVYJPY1O0GLHOqUpzaVKU1W-_1qqkiTdmira2Y-QjGr-q7-ZKI42rEC62JyAD0BNKM/s200/S5031273.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5382497529586051042" border="0" /></a><br />I have been working on a lace slouchy hat to give as gifts for the holidays.

Our car has a rebuilt transmission and is getting us where we need to go. I've been knitting socks. I am on stronger medicine for my asthma and bp medicine. I am coping with the side effects, but overall things are ok. DH starts school tomorrow.<br /><br />Today I went to Sock Therapy! <a href="http://peanutbutteryelleytime.wordpress.com/">Yelley</a> was very gracious and gave us a lesson in Toe-Up socks! I learned Judy's Magic Cast on:<br /><br /><object width="340" height="285"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/lhBIS0AhhQY&hl=en&fs=1&border=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/lhBIS0AhhQY&hl=en&fs=1&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="340" height="285"></embed></object><br /><br />Well, I am off to work on the cast on!!

It did not fix the problem! There is something between the automatic transmission that the cv joint. That may be what is wrong. We don't really know. The car has to go in the shop when we have enough money saved to fix it. I do not know when that will be because the Home Care Agency that I work for will not schedule me anywhere unless I have a working vehicle. I wasn't being scheduled very much since my regular client passed away last December. My insurance through the county is also requiring me to file for unemployment for this reason. <br /><br />Our car just looks so sad out in front of our house!Angelbibityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14584502239376595523noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5614452898275989213.post-69233646670140514552009-07-04T18:37:00.000-07:002009-07-04T18:55:48.020-07:00Fun on the 4th of July!Today, we went to the <a href="http://www.modestocfm.com/">Modesto Certified Farmer's Market</a>!<br /><br />We got a caramel apple from Caramel Avenue.

Is it too hot to knit? In my opinion it is never too hot or too cold to knit! You, however, should take precautions. Here are some signs of heat exhaustion:<br /><br /><ul><li> Heavy Sweating</li><li>Cool Moist skin<br /></li><li>Paleness</li><li>Headache</li><li>Nausea and vomiting</li><li>Dizziness</li><li>Muscle cramps</li><li>Tiredness and Weakness</li><li>Fainting</li><li>Dark colored urine</li><li>Low Blood Pressure</li><li>Rapid weak pulse</li><li>Rapid shallow breathing</li></ul>Treatment for heat exhaustion is involves several cooling measures:<br /><ul><li> Cool, air conditioned environment</li><li>Cool shower or sponge bath</li><li>Rest, lay down and elevate feet.</li><li>Cool Non-alcoholic beverages</li><li>Lightweight or loose clothing<br /></li></ul><span style="font-weight: bold;">If fever greater than 102 F (38.9 C), fainting, confusion or seizures occur, dial 911 or call for emergency medical assistance.</span><br /><br />If you sew, you can make a <a href="http://sewing.about.com/od/freeprojects/ss/coolscarf.htm">cool neck scarf</a> . It is filled with water crystals that you can purchase at any home and garden center.<br /><br />Today,in an attempt to stay cool and enjoy some social knitting, DH and I went to knitting today at a local Starbucks. I got a shakened iced green tea and DH got a green tea frappacino. We also purchased a bottle of Ethos water to share. We also shared a slice of yummy lemon pound cake. I knitted with friends for a couple of hours. The Starbucks tend to keep their establishments very cool making it a nice place for public knitting in the heat.Angelbibityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14584502239376595523noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5614452898275989213.post-10442026074340004952009-06-22T13:19:00.000-07:002009-06-22T13:29:58.578-07:00Sometimes when it rains it pours!Yesterday was a lovely day! I got a chance to talk to my Dad on the phone and wish him a Happy Father's Day. I got to go to knitting and later to eat hamburgers with DH's parents and grandparents!<br /><br />Today, wasn't as nice. I walked 8+ blocks with one of my clients in the heat with my asthma problems and current back problems. I hobbled along actually and she had to stop several times. I don't know if she was resting or just letting me catch up. DH picked me up from work which is a good thing because after that walk I wasn't really able to drive. On the way home, after we turned our car started to make a grinding noise. We stopped twice. We checked underneath and checked the fluids. DH managed to get us home at 10 mph. I am thankful that we are home.Angelbibityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14584502239376595523noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5614452898275989213.post-22552578194931911542009-06-17T17:07:00.000-07:002009-06-17T17:10:49.091-07:00Knitting is good for your Health!I know from personal experience that knitting helps manage stress and pain.

My back is hurting and I just haven't been feeling well. I've had x-rays of my back. I am getting some blood work done tomorrow, and I have my yearly exam later this month. Well after all of that I have a follow up appointment with my regular MD in July. Hopefully, all the tests will provide answers.<br /><br />My birthday was Monday, June 1.

We have been reboxing some of our storage items as we have been asked to move it yet again. I came upon a lot of yarn! There's yarn that I forgot about. I did manage to group the boxes of yarn together so they are more accessible. Well, this must mean that I need to knit more.....I mean it helps with my constant pain level and anxiety...it helps me not worry so much about the worker's comp insurance from the evil big box retail company that has switched to yet another approval company giving them incomplete info on my injury, grrrrrr-they are calling it a strain-grrrr-constant pain for 5 years....oh where was I, yes, knitting helps me keep my sanity and for the most part I keep an upbeat attitude about life.Angelbibityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14584502239376595523noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5614452898275989213.post-35718509317439007792009-03-27T15:19:00.000-07:002009-03-27T15:31:06.579-07:00It's a hat! Now it's a bag!!!!I started a Ravenclaw House Hat a few days ago. I used cotton blend so that I could wear it the the new movie in July, but to my utter dismay, it is too large. It is so large that it covers my whole face! I looked at it an pondered for a moment. I turned it upside down and crocheted a nice edge in the silver yarn. Now it is a bag! I am sewing "Wit beyond Measure" in duplicate stitch on the front. I should be finished in a few days and I will have something to take with me to "The Half Blood Prince".Angelbibityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14584502239376595523noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5614452898275989213.post-27108387948580617572009-03-04T10:14:00.000-08:002009-03-04T10:15:10.967-08:00Pondering SocksI have recently finished crocheting a shawl. Now I can't get the idea of knitting socks out off my mind. I have knitted in the round before, but never socks. There is something about that tiny little thread that screams pick me, pick me! Perhaps I will try knitting socks in a worsted weight so I can get the mechanics of it down or maybe there is another project that I can find to use that tiny yarn that is calling my name.<br /><br />Have a magical Day!<br />AngelbibityAngelbibityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14584502239376595523noreply@blogger.com0
