it’s time….
The month of October has flown by. Only 1 day until Halloween, 6 days until flying out to California (6 DAYS!! HOLY CRAP!!!) and 2 days until the NaBloPoMo. Can you blog for 30 days straight? I did it almost the entire way through the month last year, I can do it this year. Which brings me to…
Apologies to my blog readers (the few ;) ) about my password protected posts. A few know what was going on, but I’ve left tons in the dark. I apologize and I promise to resume my normal blogging.
another excuse for my slacking
I know I’ve been slacking on not only my blog, but on my photography too. I’ve been spending more time job searching and knitting. I have several knitting projects going on right now. A hat for a friends little girl, a purse, a secret project, Skyler’s hat, a hat for another little girl…. I could probably come up with 3-4 more if I really wanted to. So until I get a better handle on my projects, my blogging will be slacking and until the weekend after next, so will the photography. But I’ll come back with a bang ;)
it’s my something to look forward to
Vacation in T-17 days. It’s insane how much I’m looking forward to this. Friday I’m going to call and reserve the camera. Still not sure if I’m going to get the lens with it. I’m drooling over the thought of using a 1.2 L lens but the thought of what the money COULD be used for makes me hesitant.
Still searching for that new job.
Still just as confused as ever thanks to a certain someone.
And the fact that it’s been almost 2 years since HE has seen Skyler is bringing me to tears at a moments notice. I know it’s not worth getting upset over, but no child deserves to be without a father.
I guess it’s just one of those things that really shows you how unfair life can get.
my new hobby
I’ve actually been working on my new hobby. Loom Knitting. :) Skylers’ hat didn’t work out too well, his scarf turned out okay, but I finally have something to be proud of.
A newborn pom pom hat :)
I’m working on some more hats and I’ll keep posting my projects as I finish them.
I love….
I love….
….how every night Skyler goes to sleep snuggling a book. Yesus forbid he snuggles his stuffed animals.
….how every WEEKDAY morning he yells at me that he wants to sleep. “Light off!” he demands. Too bad he won’t sleep in on the weekends.
….when I pick him up from daycare and I’m greeted with not one, not two, not three, but FOUR (aren’t I lucky?) hugs around my legs and 1 amazing smile that I can’t wipe off his face. He’s always so glad to see me and so sad to leave daycare.
….how he offers me his bottle of water (really it’s mine) and when I turn down the offer, gets an angry look in his eyes and yells at me until I take a drink. I guess I was thirsty ;)
….the way he loves to snuggle while watching Wonderpets and the way he loves to dance while watching Backyardigans.
….the way he sings along while we are watching Wonderpets.
….how sweet, smart and amazing my wonderful little boy is.
….every moment I have with Skyler. He is my world.
just a little obsessed, eh?
I get my daily laugh from reading What The Duck. Maybe I spend a little too much time thinking about photography…..
this is how I roll….
I have a few friends that knit. I’m completely jealous of their kick ass talent so I attempted at knitting myself. I failed. Miserably. I can’t knit with needles. So what do I do? Learn to knit with a loom. And I’m FABULOUS at knitting with a loom. Kick. Ass. So now I’m not as jealous as before.
I knit Skyler a hat. Of course it wasn’t long enough but he still loved it. Wore it around and HAD to show Grandma his hat. Now I’m knitting him a scarf and then I’ll re-attempt the hat and make it more his size. But I’ll keep the first one for a newborn hat ;)
Oh… and this is to my blog stalker. I know I have a stalker. I know you visit my blog everyday regardless of whether I post or not. Leave me a comment so I won’t be AS creeped out?? K. Thanks.
At least someone loves me….
it’s phaunt-arrific!!
I admit. I’m shamelessly using my blog to *hopefully* win a phaunt VIP yearly membership. I had a monthly membership but money is getting tight so I cried while I emailed Kylie *fabulous admin of Phaunt forum* to tell her I needed to cancel the automatic monthly renewel of my membership.
But now I’m trying to win a yearly membership. :)
The phaunt forum is great. The ladies *and maybe one man???* are incredibly sweet and helpful. The forum is full of helpful hints, fun actions *especially to those who are VIP’s*, and it’s a great way to see sneak peeks of up and coming projects. I lurk mostly but I’m never afraid to post if I have a question or need someone’s input. Really a fabulous place.
So go! And sign up! The phaunters are fabulous and you will love it at the forum! So many talented photographers, how can you go wrong!!
Here’s the link! Go! Sign up! You won’t regret it!
