glove #1 done!!

i finished the right glove...FINALLY! it took me a week to do it...i shouldn't be so hard on myself though...i do work two jobs...i didn't use enough ribbon, but that's ok, cause it was just some scrap i had lying around...i'm going to buy black ribbon for it tommarrow....

Elsie the cow cat

it's 5:00 a.m. and my mom just woke me up to tell me that my cat just died.....
she was fifteen and she went very quickly....i don't think she was in a lot of pain if any. i'm just glad i got to say goodbye....i know it sounds corny, but if you're a pet companion, and you've had a pet for that long, you'd understand.....i'm going to miss her....

a few pics....

this is the fireplace my dad built this weekend...it only took him a day and everything is stone....it's beautiful! i love how the family room is going to have a rustic lodge theme.....it reminds me of a ski lodge...












.....and a pic of me for a friend who hasn't seen me since he left for iraq....
i just got off of working at the bar, so i'm EXTRA lovely! (you gotta love the smell of smoke and booze in your hair and clothes and the shinyness of your hair matted from smoke..not to mention food and beer spillages...)

busy busy busy....

let's see....having two jobs AND trying to get knitting projects done AND trying to have a social life all at the same time doesn't really work very well......it's o.k. because i make the impossible happen....i am super girl! my motto: impossible is nothing....
i've got another section of my glove done....a little bit at a time. i love working on this project.....why, you ask? because it's not boring straight knit!!! THAT'S WHY!!
i kinda stretched the truth a little about my social life....the only social life i have right now is talking to one friend online every night while i'm resurching proper milk frothing techniques and latte art how to's....so, in my social time, i'm doing stuff for work! i'm really not complaining....it's my choice....i want to be the best barista i can be....
now i just need to find time to run...i CAN do it.....

i started working on a pair of fingerless opera length gloves today. they are going to be awsome. for the lace part i'm going to use black ribbon. i can't wait until they are done.

i got the pattern here:

she did an excellent job of writing a pattern. so far it's pretty easy to follow...
