Ice and Snow

Well it has been so cold here that there is ice on my pot containers and they are forecasting ice ,on the roads so I will try not to go anywhere this weekend.All week I have been bringing in my dogs from outside .

Happy New Year

My new year resolutions are to lose 31 pounds, to finish 4 projects in each of knitting, sewing, and crochet. I also plan on growing a garden this year. So how are all you people out there. The gator bowl is coming on soon, I do not have bright house which has a problem with fox. We played the holiday raffle and did not win anything. Well I am growing my beard once again this time I will keep it trim and nice.

Well 6 days into my vacation

I am having a good time on vacation and getting my yard cleaned up. I have a burn pit and a lot of dead trees and leaves around the yard. The wife got a message on face book about this blanket I made for a friend and his wife, she loved it.

Merry Christmas

Well here it is the night before Christmas, me and the wife are watching the first season of bones. It does not look like it but those lights are colored lights. Littlebit seems to be eating our fake tree. he thinks that I like it when he sits under the tree but I know that he is looking for something to eat. Well me and the wife got back from m-i-l house and I made out like a bandit. Got all the tools to do an oil change and to fix the cars from m-i-l and m-i-lc. S-i-l gave me the movie up and the bones season one and two. got some flashlights from the wife.

6 Days

Well I have exactly 6 working days until Christmas vacation. We had family gathering for the Christmas. I had a good time but the women folk did not do their usual outing to Michael's or Joann's. I have not had my tree lights on since the last time I wrote in my blog. I am going to quit smoking for the new year. But first I must diet to get back down to a decent weight.

Happy Thanksgiving

So thanksgiving was fun. We had m-i-l, s-i-l and m-i-lc, and c-i-l over and had a lot of left over turkey. We got the back bedroom almost done then we started to shove everything into it. Got a bed and the desk done on thursday. I am trying to quit smoking and it is not going to good. I really want a cigar but can not have one. I sould go shower and put on a patch or two.

Projects

Well I finished that one project and started on another 3. finished 2 and now trying to do this one that I call a scarf hat. I decided to not make the scarf hat and make a cowl instead.That's what is on the circular needles. The two square looking things are booties that my mom likes. I have to sew them up then they are done. I have never made a cowl before, so it will be fun. Thursday will be my quit day for smoking. I will be getting some of that smokers gum and some patches. So this time I hope it will work. but the cowl is worked on circular needles in the round. Knit all the way for 30 inches. I found some more projects as I went looking for my dad's scarf. I am not very far along in it and need to get it done soon.

This is the beginning of my dad's scarf which says #1 Weis Dad. I spelled it like his last name and is pronounced like wise. I have no idea where my real father is and have no idea what he is up to since he has not written in a while I sure do hope that he is OK. His mom would love a afghan from me (which I might get the chance to work on after the holidays). I wonder if my dad would like an afghan. I found another afghan in my bins of yarn and decided to make that one for this friend that has a house that no one has seen yet. I wonder when he is going to host the next magic the gathering party. He says that the house is so small that the mice have a hard time turning around.

On this day of Veterans I would love to take the time to say that we are thankful for those that have gone before us and that those that have worked side by side with us and those that we will never get to meet. Thank God for our Armed Forces.
