Move!

     So, I've been a bit quiet here.  It's because hubs and I moved.  We are now residing in Watertown, NY.  We have both gotten new jobs and found ourselves a nice quiet apartment just a few miles off the beaten path.  Packing up all of our things and moving them up here has taken up all my time for the last two weeks.  Upstate asked me to stay as long as I could feasibly.  So last week I commuted back and forth to Syracuse.  I like to drive, I don't mind being in a car for lengthy amounts of time.  However, two hours a day is not fun.  My last day was yesterday and we had one doozy of a storm system come in fast at night.  I made it back to Watertown okay, but wowee it was a bit rough in a couple places.  I'm really glad the commute is over.  Hubs has been wonderful and gotten our new apartment all unpacked and in order.  He made it a home in just a few days!  We're still working out all the logistics of updating our address with everyone important.  All of my yarn and needles are still packed up.  I haven't had time to get that stuff in order yet.  Now that I'm done with Upstate and have a week off before I start with Samaritan I hope to get that put in order.  I haven't done any knitting for about three weeks now and I'm getting antsy.  
     I've joined Team Space Alliance for Nerdopolis, which is very very similar to what Nerd Wars used to be.  The challenges are all up and I cant get to my yarn... ahhh.  I'll be changing that this week.  
     We're using this week off as a vacation of sorts.  The weather is supposed to be nice in the next couple of days, so we're going to be doing some snowmobiling.  I'll be going to sewing circle tomorrow to tie some quilts.  I'll have some more updates once I get back to knitting.  Until later.

Happy Crafting!

YOP: Week 37

    I didn't do any crafting what so ever this past week.  We had my parents and brother over for lunch on Sunday.  I cooked up some of the green beans from my garden that I had frozen.  They were very good.  We had a nice meal and it got one of the two turkeys out of the freezer.  When I was going to work Friday morning I noticed one of our neighbors had put a fridge or stand-up freezer out by the road with a free sign on it.  I called my husband immediately and told him where I had seen it.  He grabbed it right away.  It's an upright freezer from probably the 60s or 70s so it's solid.  We put it in the garage and moved the few things that were left in the "middle" chest to that one so the chest freezer could be defrosted and cleaned.  We're still waiting for the new one we ordered from Lowe's.  They know its been shipped but have no idea where it is.  At one point they thought it was in Pennsylvania; then they thoug...

YOP: Week 36

     I didn't get any crafting done this week.  I did receive my swap package from the My Favorite Things swap.  Here's what I received: An ample stack of fabric squares.  Most are knitting related, the rest coordinate well.  A book that looks interesting, The Vampire Knitting Club, one of my favorite candies, a skein of Alpaca yarn in a glorious color and cat chair feet.  My daughter commandeered a couple of them already.  I'm going to put a set on the clothes chair in the bedroom.  All in all it was a fun swap.  I also signed up for the Halloween Mini and got my partner assignment.  I've got some ideas brewing for that one.      Since my knitting mojo still hasn't returned despite the change in weather, I picked up a book (kindle) series instead.  About two years ago I read an excellent science fiction romance; The Viridian Priestess.  I know I talked about it.  It was my favorite boo...

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, ...
