WHOOPS!


OK, So I have totally neglected the blog thing for about a month and a half now. Whoops! Let me tell you why....

It all started in the beginning of June, Hubby said to me "I want a different house, one that doesn't have 80 years of dirt on the walls, one that stays clean when you clean it, one that you don't have to spend all your time and money fixing, and one that has a basement that I can finish and put a treadmill in it!" It was a sort of mini hissy fit. After all that the only thing I can think of is, "What, you want a treadmill?" It totally threw me off. SO, off we go "just looking" and wouldn't you know it...we found a house. The only problem is that said house is not yet built. Now I have never built a house, but let me tell you, I am finding out that it is one of the most complicated processes I have ever been involved in.

OK so we're building a house. I had recently started a new job-which I quit today- that wasn't a good fit, and here I am. So, I'm going to jump back in. I'd show you pictures of all my unfinished projects, but they are currently in storage. Thats right- storage. That is like a death sentence for the unfinished project. They aren't coming out until the house is complete, sometime in 2007.

Have no fear, because I'm already in the process of creating an afghan. It will be perfect for the new house. The pattern calls for 63 "motifs", which are about six rounds of crochet a piece, each round in a different color. I've made six. Classic start for me. I'm already getting bored. When I find my camera (also maybe in storage), I'll show you some pictures. In the meantime, please enjoy this photo of Dixie...
