My SP, Oceansong, received her package today! She loves everything. I am so glad too! There was some serious worry goin on, will she like it, will she not.........
You can jump over to her blog and check out the goodies for yourself. I am pretty sure I have made a good friend from this swap. Hope she feels the same way!!

On a side note: I promised to post pics of the tins I have made. 2 more tins were made today, so after curing overnight, they will be ready for their closeup tomorrow!!

Tin Swap

So, this tin swap is a lot harder than I thought! I am finding tins all over the place, but I am not sure they are the ones for my SP. I am not sure what to get when it comes to extras. GGRRRRRR I am told by everyone there to just buy things that I would enjoy and it will be ok, I am not so sure. It is kinda scary actually. I just want my SP to be uber excited about her tins n stuff. Out to figure more things to get. Till next time............

Swap Talk

So I am doing this swap on Ravelry right now, it is so cool! We are swapping tins! No, not the green money kind, altoids type containers. I am having a blast looking for tins all over the net and at my local antique shop. Now, I just need my swapee so I know exactly what to look for. Getting back into knitting has been really exciting! All the new yarns, notions, and patterns that are out there now. Cant wait to try em all! Till next time...........

Knit Love!

Where has the time gone??

WOW!! More than a year since my last post. I have been super busy with the fam, the kiddos, work, and just life in general. I finally picked up the knit sticks a few weeks ago to knit a scarf. Now I am working on another one and I am going to make some matching fingerless gloves of some sort. Taking it slow though, carpal tunnel has reeked havoc on my right wrist. grrr
With life getting so crazy, blogging took a back seat for a long time. So, I promise to blog at least once a week from now on. I need to revamp my whole page too! Lots of work to be done here, so I had better get to it. I hope to reconect with all my knit pals and make some great new ones. So, til next time peeps, gettcho knit on!!!! :o)

Life

Wow, it really has been a long time since I last posted here. Life is crazy these days. I feel like I am on a roller coaster with steep drops and torrential climbs. My health is well, not great. I was dx with an auto-immune disease called Hashimoto's Thyroiditis. It is associated with Hypothyroidism. It affects the thyroid. In a nutshell, my immune system is slowly "eating" away my thyroid down to nothing. My disease has just wiped me out. I am so tired all the time. I have gained 30+ lbs and it is VERY hard to take off because my metabolism is regulated by my thyroid. There are tons of other issues that go along with it that I have to deal with too. If you would like to read up on it, there is a good article about it here and here. So I am learning to eat for my disease and doing lots of yoga(which still hurts btw!!). I havent been able to knit for a long time. I have been to busy with drs and my new biz that there just isnt time. I really miss it and would like to get back to it soon!! The new biz I am talking about is my Candle business. I am an Independent Consultant for Partylite Candles. It so much fun and I get to have all sorts of great smelling candles and accessories in my home. I am enjoying getting to meet new peeps too! My fam is doing well. I just got to spend a night with the hubby. He just got home after about 5 days away. It was nice to just lay with him and catch up on everything. He is so amazing. I cant believe that we have been together for almost 9 yrs! He has really been my rock through all of the crap that has been happening lately. I dont know what I would do without him. I think I have caught you all up on the latest. I will try and get on here more often to give you the scoop. Take care peeps. I hope things are wonderful wherever you are! xo
