Eye Candy

Here is some yarn I have dyed. The three on right are from wool 2 dye 4. ( not the little one) Lovely yarn, would totally buy it. I did knit with them I will have to take pic of them sometime. The two on the left and the little one I was playing with colors. I got new colors, and the name of the colors don't really have much to do with the actual color. So of course I renamed them. My niece Hailey wants me to dye her some yarn and make some socks for her feet. She is in love with Dora. So I am thinking of dying yarn to match Dora . Maybe even self Striping. I might even make some for Yummee Yarn, of course maybe name it Hailey!! She is so cute!!

If my computer wouldn't take forever I would put her picture up. Maybe after this week!
In other news everyone click on Yarn Artist blog and check out the socks she made with yummee yarn!! I totally love the way they came out. You all will have to check out her designs that she makes. They are so beautiful!! She is super talented lady.!! I just think the socks are great!! Thanks Ellene for showing the picture!! I will have to repeat that one. I do think I am going to quit doing swatches of the yarn . What do you think?

My daughter is now officially out of school. She is going to be a third grader. Wow I totally feel old now. She had all A with 98% in every subject. It's almost weird knowing how smart she is. She was test for the Gates program, and was excepted to the program. But at are school the children who are in it, don't get to socialize with all the other classrooms. They have the same teachers and students until I think 5Th or 6Th grade. I mean my daughter has made a ton of friends . If I put her in the program then she wouldn't be a social butterfly that she is. Now I am not saying the program is bad. But from what I seen of my friends who have kid in the program and how they say I wish I would have not put them in it ! I kinda of seen what they went through and said I don't want that for my child. I think I made the right choice. Beside she likes her teacher.. I just feel old . I can't believe my first born is now a third grader. I am very proud of her!!

Socks and Carpet Cleaner

I finished one of the socks for my husband. It is huge, he has a big foot . I had 62grams of yarn from some of the yarn I dye. It was called face fan number 8. Needless to say it was for my husband. At first I thought I would not have enough to do a pair of sock for his size 12 foot but I was wrong I have plenty. The sock pattern is one I designed and they I made the toe stronger with going over the stitches with a whip stitch. He also has a wide foot and this sock fits like a glove. I finished while I was at the hospital with him. I am working on sock number two now. I love the fact that it came out self striping. I will have to repeat this color way for the etsy store.

In other news I was talking with my friend Andrea about carpet cleaners. Well she told me about this cleaner called Folex . I had never heard of it before . After talking with her I decide to give it a whirl !! This is like a miracle in a bottle . Let me tell you I used a entire bottle in one day. ( I even shampoo my carpets every 30 days) I had tar on the carpet crusties of the hubby, plus my son busted a ink pin all over my carpet . It removed stains that have been there way before I came around . It is truly works great. It is pictured at the top. I love love it!! Try it out if you see it.

Going Crazy!!

Wow! Well it has been a whirl wind around me. A couple of weeks ago my son woke up and could barley breath. He was grasping for air and trying to cry but couldn't. So we took him to the E.R. ! They said he had croup and his windpipe was trying to close . I told the doctor that he was fine when he went to bed! He didn't have anything wrong with him. They gave him breathing treatments and medication. Which helped and them they sent us home with a breathing machine. They said because my son has immune system problems that the onset of the croup would do that to him. Totally scary!! It's a very good thing that when something happens I have been trained to know what to do. Still I wouldn't wish that experience on anyone. Then on May 12 th my husband woke up with a sore stomach, which he said I must of pulled a muscle in the stomach . Or so he thought. They day went on, he did some yard work with the bobcat . The pain got worse he could not stand up straight all the rest of the day. I told him is probably was his appendix. Of course that's like talk to a brick wall. He went to bed early and around 12am he could barley move . Still he said he was fine . Saturday around 7:30 am I said you can't even walk you don't have a choice I am taking you to the E.R. ! I put him in the car and head to the hospital. They do a cat scan on the abdomen. They said the appendix was a 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Which means he need surgery soon. Another 21/2 hours go buy and finally got to have surgery by this time it was 2 pm mind you we arrived at 9:05 am !! The surgeon comes out a says his appendix was ruptured and is was very nasty he also said it had stones in it and the had to me removed because the fell out when removing the appendix. He also said they got all the infection. Who new that appendix could have stones!! I certainly never heard of it. After surgery they moved us to a room . Well there's were the night mare began. The nurse on Saturday night was great. The one we had on Sunday was a night mare. The entire day she came in one time . I mean husband had loose stool (sorry for that info) and I pressed the button to call some one down. If they would have told me the machine he was hooked up to could be unplugged I would have done that so he could make it to the bathroom. But no one came I had to find the break room and ask for help . The help I got was yeah you can unplug it . No came to change the sheet or anything I had to do it . I mean I'm sorry but when your in the medical field you should do your job. Other wise don't be a dam nurse. Because no one check on him on Sunday he got a major infection. Come Monday he had to get a tube stuck up his nose down to the stomach . It was put there to pump out the yuck. I mean I won't go in to details but I knew that something wasn't right. He finally go to come home on Wednesday evening . Now he's recovering , he's very sore and tired. Let this be a lesson to those of you who don't want to do your job or hate it . Remember the patient didn't ask to have an illness and they would like to get treated with respect to. I know some people can be hard to deal with but if you just don't want to help people find a different line of work. I will be contact the medical board on the nurse who did nothing and caused a infection .
