Uber-Mega “I’m not dead” post- Complete with Finished Objects & kitty pictures

Has it been THAT long since I’ve posted? DOH! (says Jack…) I’ve been crazy busy here lately and Munchkin goes back to school in 10 days! We’re totally not ready for summer to be over, that’s for sure. I’ve mostly been running around like a lunatic while trying to keep Chez Mousie from going down the proverbial crapper. I’ve been quiet so as to avoid turning this place into a 24/7 bitch-fest and running commentary on the suckitude of the economy, our lack of jobs and money, and blah blah blah… See- no one wants to read that, not even ME!

I have finished a few things since I posted last..

Fuji 017

This is Sloochie from Woolly Wormhead knit in my own Two Paws Handspun – one of the few two ply yarns I have left. (Admittedly I stole it from my Etsy shop.. shhh..) I wish I had some modeled shots of this (though there is one of Munchkin in it on my Ravelry page) but its done nothing but pour here in GA. I love the colors and the way the yarn striped — its an incredibly geeky hat but I love it and can’t wait to wear it at the bus stop and to embarrass the living crap out of my mother-in-law this winter.

Fuji 041

These are also handspun yarn from roving I recently bought at CosyMakes shop – its a wool type called CVM and it was from a local Ohio farm. The gloves (armwarmers? mitts? I never know what to call these…) are my own half-assed pattern (that I used previously on the Maple Sky mitts ) which I had to rip out twice because clearly I cannot read my own writing. I’d love to keep these (and actually intended to when I spun the yarn) but they turned out a little too big for me and are destined for a new life for sale at Etsy.

And that, my friends… is all the news that’s currently fit to print.

Eight!

Yesterday was Munchkin’s 8th birthday! We went to Chuck E. Cheese, ate pizza, went toy shopping, and had ice cream cake. This year he was given the choice of getting presents or getting money from the relatives and doing his own shopping.. he went for the money & shopping. While he did end up buying things yesterday, I’m proud to say that he saved over half of his birthday money “for another day” without anyone suggesting it. I’m glad he had a great time but I’m also happy that we’ve been able to hang around the house today and chill.. I’m exhausted!
