Monkeys and a Baby!!

I finally got pictures from my parents of my niece and SIL in their Monkey socks!!!

Those little feet just LOVE the pick socks!!!

This is my favorite shot of the socks! SIL and Ava just sitting on the couch, showing off their socks!!

And finally, one of the best pictures I've seen of my niece to date! She is SOOO CUTE! Smiling with her Daddy, my older brother, and my Moma!

We are all patiently waiting the arrival of baby #2, who needs to stay in her mama's bellyl for as long as possible! Although, we are all really excited that she has outlasted her sister in terms of delivery. My SIL has a condition while pregnant which doesn't allow her to carry the baby full term. She has been on bedrest since week 23 and I think she is now on week 30! So she is doing really well and the baby is still inside :) I can't wait to meet my second niece!!!

Anyways, off to the beach this weekend with my new roommate and great friend, Wendy of Musings of a Knucklehead. We are getting along really great! It's an awesome house and it's nice to feel so at home!

Monkey's!

Not the singing group! I have jumping on the Monkey wagon now and I'm SO glad I did!

I started a pair of Monkey socks for my SIL about 2 weeks ago. I was stuck on the heel, again! But I pushed through and I'm now almost done! I need to figure out how long to make the foot because she has a longer foot than me.

So here it the great cell phone picture from my seat on the bus.

I've done 3 more repeats since this was taken yesterday afternoon! I hope to finish the sock tonight!

There is a local group of people that get together in my neighborhood once a month on Wednesday's. I found out about it through a lady that sat next to me on the new bus I take. She was really excited about it and told me it was great and I should definately come. It's tonight, so my housemate and I will go up there after dinner tonight! It's call Fiber and Friends... She said people crochet, knit, cross stitch, and many other crafts... I hope it is a fun time!

Back to work... More later with an FO!

Week #1

Yes... The ticker at the bottom of my blog is correct! I lost 2.8 lbs last night at my weight in. WOOHOO! I'm SO happy! It puts me right where I wanted to be for now. I'm no longer 200 lbs and I will never be that again! :)

This weekend I am going to Pittsburgh with my dear friend Wendy! She already emailed me links to 2 yarn stores AND a chocolate store. She is BAD! I am going to try my hardest to resist as much as possible. I think I can do it! Actually, I KNOW I can resist!

One other random... I am making a few hats for a GREAT cause. Anne has asked for help with knitting some hats for her SIL that has breast cancer. I jumped at the opportunity to help because I have been affected by breast cancer with family as well as a dear neighbor. I have already completed 1 hat and will be completing a few more to send to her!

I have also started the heel of my SIL monkey sock in Tickled Pink by Lorna's Laces. It's going to be one GREAT pair of socks!
