My sewing center

Well here it is my sewing center. I still have not gotten any of the things that I need for the dog blanket. I have 2 blocks out of 9 sewn together. Well my grandma is doing good after her heart stint. She finally called me to tell me that one of grandpa's sisters in West Virgina is not doing so good, and that she will be out of town for 2 weeks. I hope that everything turns out OK. It would be nice to see that side of the family again. The last time I was in Oklahoma was after tec school. right before I went to mind rot (Minot) North Dakota. Well me and the wife have exchanged gifts already. I am getting her a Nintendo DES. She gave me a wireless head set and camp ax with a good hunting knife, some knitting and crochet books, and a bunch of Disney shirts.

I have too figure out how the head set works. It is a FM scanning radio also. which drives me nuts do to the fact that it scans the FM if there is nothing going on on the device that is plugged into it. So it is driving me crazy, and I want to throw it against the wall. but it would not feel any pain so why bother. Now I want to throw the computer for not doing what I want.I am trying to add songs to it from my CD collocation and it does not want to do it. Well I am at the library and I am very bored. I need something to do and I have yet to figure out my stupid computer. I need a new bolt for one of the table legs for the dinning table. So I ran out to get it. The wife is shopping with Lourdes which gets her out of the house. So I ran to Lowe's and then to Joann then came here. I need to get more stuff for my sewing center. I asked about the little sewing machine that I have (style* elements) and they had no clue that there was such a thing. Today I asked if they carried some knitters graph paper, and the lady looked at me like I was crazy, like there is such a thing(i am sure she was thinking). It was the same lady that I had asked about my sewing machine a week ago. my wife says that the people that work at these places are stupid about the product and that I should not even bother them.

I really need that knitters graph paper I have this plan for dad's Christmas present for next year. The present will need to be drawn out before I try to make it. then It would be nice to have some 4:1 graph paper to do some quilting with but I decided not to even ask for it because the lady would not know what it was. 4 squares to the inch for those that was wondering. It is driving me crazy not having that which I need. I like to sew and knit and crochet. so you might be asking what is next on my agenda but I can not think of any thing else that might interest me. I want to go hunting.

The wife would cry and cry if I was to kill any thing. Its bad enough that I have to release the fish I catch. I also play magic the gathering on occasion. I still have to cut up my fire wood out in the yard, and get it put up to burn. Got home at the same time as the wife and we went out together to Michael's where I found some Glow-in-the-Dark white yarn. I am going to make a hat for myself out of it. This way It will never be lost anyone can find it. Well I figured out the stupid computer it just can not find some of my Cd's that I want to copy to it so I can put them on my MP3 player.

My first baby quilt

Well here is my first try at sewing I still need to get some batting a border and a back to it. Once that is all done then it might be a dog blanket, or that was what the wife said I should do. Well some how Ginger pulled her stake from the ground and then lost it some where and then got off of the chain. We have not found any of it. Angel is doing well and the cats are fine. The bunny is driving me crazy. She seems to think that there is a shortage of bunny food so she jumps to be feed every time someone walks into the bedroom. So what do you all think of my blanket. should I make it into a dog blanket? Ginger would not care what it looked like, and if I gave it to Angel she would eat it. I did happen to notice that Ginger is a good opossum dog she got the same opossum twice tonight. Once when she got outside the door and once when it woke back up from playing opossum and tried to make it up the tree before Ginger could get it.

well well well

Hello all us freaky people in here. Well tomorrow is Mickey's not so Scary Halloween party. So I will be gone from 4 pm to 2 am.

Well Mickey's not so Scary Halloween Party was boring they are taking more stuff away and not putting anything into it, and the price keeps going up. So me and the wife have decided to not go for the next few years.

I went fishing yesterday and nothing was bitting. I gave up after a hour and a half, went to Withlacoochee river to fish. Then went out and burned up some yard trash.

Birthday

Well it is GM-I-L birthday, and we all had a good time visiting with everyone. We gave her a potted mums plant. Which gives me a chance to download some books, and look up some knitting patterns. It is my GM-I-L 90th birthday. So I brought along some knitting and worked on it.

Gone Fishing

I went fishing yesterday evening and nothing was biting anything but the floater. A lot of minnows were out in the water I saw three turtle heads and one fish jump out of the water. The only thing I took with me was some grubs. I could not find any big worms in the yard, and I forgot about my gizzards in the frezzer. I was meeting a friend there to give him some tickets to the Bucs game for today. I need to fish more often then I do becuase it is soothing to the mind.

Overtime

Well I worked the overtime. I should of gone to the game tonight. I was very bored at work I did not listen to my book. I did not get to watch the talent show. They did not broadcast it over the TV. So I am listening to "Dark Tower VII" the last book of the dark tower series. I find the book very sad. I would like to own the books.
