Team Stargate Command

So I made Team SGC, woot! I probably should watch through some to refresh. I might jump into the later seasons of Atlantis, I seem to have missed out on some of those eps. T4 starts the same day the new ED opens at SJH. I have a feeling I'm going to need the therapy after that day of work. St. Joseph's Hospital is going through a $220 million expansion right now. The new Emergency Services Building was 72 mil of that. Its the largest green project in central NY. Its a pretty big deal, I guess. All I know is that its going to up the patients seen in the ED by 20,000 per year and the lab has not hired more people. Maybe all those numbers don't mean too much in the grand scheme of things. I feel like 10 extra beds and a better layout will speed up things and increase our workload enough to warrant extra people. Especially noting that we're understaffed to begin with, but hey. What do I know, I just do that work, in the most screwed up layout ever conceived.

On to more funner stuff! I've finished a few items. Mainly another kids hat and two dishcloths. I've also made progress on the cursed mitten. I'm up to the start of the thumb gusset and if I would get of the computer and knit I'd probably finish it faster...

There, more dishcloths. I am also almost done with another potholder/hot pad/trivet. I just need to whip stitch the seam. Once the battery in my camera recharges I'll have more pics. You would think that owning two cameras would ensure at least one was operational at all times... I guess not. Although if I kept AAs on hand this wouldn't be a problem.... oops.

YOP: Week 29

The fair was a success. My items did well and Liara got some ribbons as well. We went to the parade on Tuesday, then down to the grounds once it was over. We stopped by one local vender to grab some jewelry, grabbed some donuts from the Donut Diner then went to see how we placed. Liara entered earrings that she hand-made with clay. They did not place. She entered a beaded bracelet that got first. She also entered three of her drawings. A Pegasus, a bunny and a magical worm. The bunny and the worm received third and the Pegasus received second. The bunny is my personal favorite of all the drawings she's done. There is always a really good turn out in the drawing and photography categories, so she was up against some stiff competition. I'm really happy she received some ribbons. My items are as follows: Rotini Beanie; First Enchantress MKAL; First. Sunburst Potholder; Second. Cow and Hen Dishcloth set; ...

YOP: Week 30

I didn't have a very eventful crafting week. My time was limited and I think the weather is affecting my knitting mojo. I had to work last weekend so my husband picked up the items from the fair along with the help of our daughter. It looks as though she was supposed to get a first place ribbon for her earrings but they forgot to attach the ribbon, or it was attached and fell off. I'll get an official notification in the mail with our winnings in a few weeks. My garden was looking really good, the peppers and carrots had almost completely regrown. I made the comment to myself Saturday evening when I was watering everything that "oh wow its all looking really good." My parents came over for lunch Sunday so I took my mom over to see the garden. We've been busy so they haven't been over since we put in the raised beds. Well, the joke was on me. The deer or whatever it is came back and decim...

YOP: Week 34

I did some crafting this week, but it was all for the swap. I was nearly out of interfacing so I ran over to The Quilt Shop in Watertown. I'd been there once a couple of years ago and thought their prices were very good considering they are independent and Joanne and Hobby Lobby were both in Watertown at the time. They have really expanded and have a tremendous selection. They have more novelty type fabrics now, which is what I prefer for my bags, so I will be going there much more often.... probably too much. I got interfacing and I found two prints that were perfect for my swapee. I really wasn't expecting to find what I did. I sewed a bag with those two prints and two of the fabrics I picked up from Walmart. The Walmart fabric was acceptable. Not groundbreaking, but decent enough that if I find cute prints I'll probably grab them. I finished the handknit earlier today. I want to steam block it yet, ...
