Guess what... I gor my Weasley swap package.. I love it!! Here are pictures. So.. Muggle post deliverd my package and here is what was inside. I got a scroll letter from Fred and George Weasley. They will be distributing the Skiving Snackboxes in the US. COOL!! I also got a Weasley hat that I love. And to boot.. I got a skiving snackbox with fever fudge, puking pastiles, nosebleed nougats and fainting fancies. How cool is this... I love it....... Tiffany did a fantastic job. Looks just like the movie prop.





So my foot feels a bit better. It is healing nicely and doesn't throb anymore. Still hurts if I take something in the arch, but other than that I am walking really good.
We had some excitement at the office. Big accident and not real pretty. Truck got squished. Nobody got hurt thankfully, but here is a picture for you to look at..
Okay.. so here is another. Couldn't leave you with just one.. LOL
Okay.. So the driver fell asleep. Go figure. Like I said.. Thankfully nobody got hurt, but had to be scary as hell.
Off to get some of the soaker finished that I am testing for someone.
Night!

What you have all been waiting for.. LOL Here is a picture of the completed items I made for my Weasley household swap. I sent these to my partner Tiffany. I think they turned out really great. Not that I am prejudiced or anything.. LOL
A BIG thank you to Tiffany for taking a picture for me.. LOL I totally forgot to take a picture before I sent them.. LOL Now I just have to finish my project for Libbys soon to be new baby girl.. Sure wish the tyke would get out of that belly and see us.. Getting impatient here.. LOL


FOOT UPDATE!!

It hurts like hell, walking is a PITA, upset stomach from the antibiotics, and worse yet... I still went in to work today.. LOL
However, it is healing and no signs of infection. That is GREAT news..

Okay.. off to do some more clean up on Mondays catastrophe...

Here is my progress. I finished the trim and the handle today. It is really coming along nicely. I was having a bit of difficulty figuring out what to use to line the bag, but I finally found a decent fabric to match it. It is not perfect, but will do nicely enough. I will be heading to my shop this afternoon to get it cut out and such. Will probably sew it up tomorrow. Just not in the mood to sew today. LOL!!

I have to get my baby mushroom finished too. Will probably do that tomorrow too. One never knows what is in store for me over at the office.. So.. making plans for the remainder of the day is useless. I do know that we finally got the Taurus fixed. It is a white 1998 and in pretty good condition. It is a tow in vehicle and the owner surrendered the car because the transmission was bad. We put a new one in it and it is a great car. Front wheel bearings are shot, but we will replace those soon. Now I get a car to drive instead of being a minivan soccer mom all the time.. YEAH!!! Not that I dont' like the minivan, I just never really wanted one of my own.. LOL I am more of a car type of person, but with 4 kids, a minivan is pretty much the only way to go. Especially when 2 are still in booster seats.. LOL

And here is Mr. Ultimately Disgusting.. The kids had a campfire last night and slept in a tent. Well.. This is what they found on the house. How gross is this. I have no idea what type of spider he is, but it is just sick. He has been relocated to the pine trees way out back.. LOL

So here I sit being bored. The kids are camping out in the backyard. Well.. theya re in here right now pestering me while I was trying to watch Pathfinder. Great movie from what I have seen, but .. I am fixin to kick them outside soon.. LOL As I sit here, I decided tomake myself a mushroom with some leftover yarns I had sitting around. I will post some pictures of my recent creations and in progress works. Just keep reading.. LOL

I am finally feeling better. I got a nasy virus thing from a mosquito. Really yucky, but at least I can't get it agian. Immune thing and all. I have to confess that it really put me out of commission. I couldn't even sit. It was horrible. Even my hair folicles ached.

It is time to get off here, so enjoy the rest...


Yeah!!! Another pair of longies finished. These are the Koolaid dyed ones. They turned out really well and I love the colors. YEAH ME!!!!

And here we have a really kickarse Gryffindor purse. It, of course, is not a purse yet, but when I am done.. Look out. It will be a stunner.. Word of advise.. do not attemp this when you are totally sick and flat on your back. No matter what. I think it made my head worse and did absolutely nothing to make me feel better.. LOL

Never guess what this is.. Yep the infamous Ginny Weasley beehive hat she wore in the GoF. Second task I think.. I got it as a free pattern and I love it. Now to make another one for myself. This one is a gift.. LOL

So I am absolutely miserable.. i have this nasty head thing going on.. LOL No, not a mental head thing, just a head thing.. LOL

My eyes feel gritty and dry, my nose is stuffed half the time and dripping the next, my taste buds are shot. I went to Red Lobster for lunch today (brother in law was in town from Florida and was leaving today, so we had to take him to lunch.. LOL) Bummer was.. I couldn't even taste my food. Lobster and shrimp and it might as well have been cardboard.. I wouldn't have known the difference..

It all started last week.. I went to the office on Thursday like always. I laid on the couch (only for 5 minutes.. LOL) That was at 8:30. 10:30, Paul woke me up and asked if I wanted to go home. Of course I said no.. I had work to do.. He sent me home and I slept all day. Friday morning I went to work and made it until about 2:00pm. I went and slept the remainder of the day. Got up this morning feeling like I had literally been crushed. My hair folicles even hurt.. LOL Really sucks.. But..I really wanted to spend time with David before he left for Florida. I just wish I had felt better. Seems every time he comes to visit I am sick. He even made a comment about how I am always coughing when he sees me.. LOL Needless to say... before I could go home and sleep, I had to stop at Hobby Lobby to get some knitting needles in the right size for my next project.. And Brittni wanted to stop at Best Buy for a new Insignia 4 GB video mp3 palyer.. So.. Once those stops were out of the way, I finally got to go home and go to sleep. Just to give a general idea how miserable I was and still am, I almost had Brittni drive me home. Only 17 and still makes me sooo nervous. LOL I held it together until I got home. Crawled into bed and just got up about an hour ago.. LOL Now I am no longer tired and it is almost 12:30 am.. LOL Wonderful..

So.. I have made some really cute hats.. All gone but one. I will post a picture tomorrow. It is the Ginny Weasley beehive hat she wore at the 2nd Goblet of Fire challenge. Orange is my favorite color, so it was great to finally have a project using it. Here is a link to the pattern I used..

I did modify it a little, but basically the same..

Now I am making the Griffindor bag. Kind of a pita since I hate Fair Isle knitting, but it is turning out really cute.. You can see it here..

Okay. I am off to take some meds and see if I can get back to sleep. My muscles are screaming and my eyes are blurry and dry.. LOL
Hugs all..
