Man where did the time go?

Well I must say it has been awhile since I have posted on here. But to my defense my family has had a extreme amount of thinks happen very fast and quickly. So grab your cup of java and have a read.

Well the day before Halloween we got a pretty upsetting phone call from my son's specialist. He told us that my son was going to have to start Immunoglobulin Blood Infusion treatments every 4 weeks. Which no one on earth wants to hear, right. For those who don't know . My son doesn't develop antibodies plus he has some but they are very low, and he also has extremely low b-memory cells. He has been like this since birth. In the beginning of getting him help the told us we wouldn't have to do this treatment unless we ran out of options. Plus they also told us we would only need one treatment and it would fix him that it was very affective. Meaning he would take it well and then he wouldn't have to take any more medication. But when they called that wasn't the case . They told me my son would have to take the blood infusions every 4 weeks like clock work and he would have to still stay on all his medications. I felt like I had just been shot. My heart sank to the floor and I felt everything around me spinning. Once I got my brain back in place I started doing and preparing for everything I need to do. Up in the picture that little tiny bottle that is clear is what he receives. It take half of the day to put in him plus the blood is so darn thick that it won't move in the bottle. That tiny bottle is expensive to. It's cost is $20,000.00 per bottle. No that isn't a type-o either. The final bill for one treatment is almost $60,000.00 . Yes my insurance is paying for now or at least till march of this year. I would have never imagined that it could be that much. So god if your listening 1. Cure my Son. 2. If it is meant to be this way then keep providing my insurance to cover the cost.

The first treatment was in November. We are now going on treatment number 3 this Friday. The first treatment he did great for about 2 weeks and and then all hell broke loose. He has been sick with infection after infection since then. and we have also had another infusion but it didn't seem to do much. He is still even taking his antibiotics every day , But his infections don't seem to be going away. I sure hope they do something when we go on Friday. He's just miserable. So if your out there say a pray or two for my son. Thanks for letting me vent God Bless You ALL !!

Smock Coat Finally Done!!!

Thank Heaven's!!! This coat is finally done !!

Announcing the Birth of Catherine Margaret !! Born August 28Th Parents are John and Marissa ! The picture is of Marissa and her only daughter , she also has two boys. This Coat was knit in the 12-18 months. Pattern was written by Debbie Bliss. I have to tell you I like the moss stitch or as some call the seed stitch. It is very pretty. But would I ever knit this coat in that stitch again NO WAY!!. Would I knit this coat again in a different stitch YES. I did post this on Ravelry. I did do a few thing different than the pattern. First I added a hood , along with a garter stitch belt (with double strands of yarn). I didn't do the collar. The yarn I used was Dark Horse Fantasy . I have to tell you is a great yarn . The coat was very heavy to which means it was warm. I can't wait to started on something else. I can tell you this project seemed like it took forever. You can only do the stitch so long before your hands and arms hurt or at least for me that was the case. All in all the baby looks great in it and I 'm glad the momma loves it since she picked the pattern and colors.

Knitting next.

I have to knit my kiddo hats before if get to cold here and then I can finish my UFO projects which include. A shawl , french market back, and a ton of socks.

God Bless!!

HAPPY 30TH BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!

To day was the day I was born 30 years ago. Here are some of the things I got. The first pictures is of my CLEAR Converse shoes. I found these along time ago and have wanted them every since. For you knitters that don't know here's the link so you can get some http://www.journeys.com/catalog_detail.aspx?c=vendors&s=guys%2fConverse&id=63450
These are totally affordable to. I will now be able to show off my sock that I make. As you can see in the picture I have already been wearing them today. Remeber they are in men's sizes and if the store near you doesn't have them in your size the can order them and the ship them to your house for $3.oo. I can't beleive no other knitters have discoverd them. I love them.

I also got a great hat and some candle holders and oh Yeah lots of cake.

Thanks for ready my Birthday post.
God Bless everyone
My birthday wish to you is that you have a wonderful week!!

Yes I have been Knitting!!

Well yes I have been knitting. I know its been along time since I last posted. There has been a lot that has happened around here. First and for most my son started Kindergarten. Can we say yes I never thought he would be able to go to school. Well don't go getting excited just yet. We did make it through the first week with out getting sick. But the Second week not so well we made it about 2 hours the first day (Monday) and have been out since . Hope fully he will be able to return to school this coming week if he's not sick. Now for those who don't know my son has a very low immune system and he takes antibiotics everyday just to be normal. When he get sick he can't just get over it like most people. So if your read this please take the time to educate your children on covering there face when sneezing and coughing. It may seem like no big deal but to children like my son it can be very dangerous.

Now on to knitting.

I have been knitting like a mad women!! I am knitting the Smock Coat by Debbie Bliss. The picture above (the purple) is the back piece. I also have the left front done . I am working on the right front now. I have to tell you this seed stitch is really pretty but so time consuming. I can't wait to get it finished. The baby I am making this for was born Yesterday . So I really need to get it done soon. I will tell you I am not putting a collar on it . I am replacing the collar with a hood. But all in all I can't wait to get it done.

The second picture is of my Shalom Cardigan. Which I might have to rip out!! I have to see what row I screwed up on. The pattern is on Ravelry. If your on there I am yummeeyarn.

I also have I think three pairs of socks going oh yeah and a Shawl and bag. Pictures coming soon.

Happy Knitting

God Bless!!

Dear, Yummee Yarn Customers

Hey, all you Yummee Yarn Customers!!! I will be loading the shop this week!! New colorways are coming out to!!! Yeah!! I put some up last week and they only lasted about 3 hours. So Thank You to the Customers!! I am so excited about putting up new yarn. It's been to long. But I have to say I do like that Local and Non Local Shops keep me busy. For those who want to know where to buy Yummee Yarn just ask I will tell you. States include California, Kentucky, and Missouri. Hopefully my goal is to be in at least 2 more shops by the end of the year. For those on Ravelry feel free to find me there and add me as a friend. Ravelry Id is yummeeyarn. Feel free to post pictures or give comment's on the yarn. I try to be completely different with my colorways. Although here lately I see more people using colorways I have either just posted in the shop or they just repeat them soon. You know Karma gets to you sooner or later. You know who you are. Now that being said I am a forgiving person and I do get we all have the same ideals. But most of you try to make it am little different not exactly the same. I choose to think out of my own mind and not look at what other people do . But when a customer say why are people copying your work to the freak dime . You start to wonder am I to nice. Well yes I am. SO I ask my customers and blog readers. Should I do as other or continue to be me and say let Karma get you bad people. I know I have God, Jesus, Holy Spirit on my side.

Any WAY LOOK FOR NEW COLORWAYS ALL WEEK !!

THANKS FOR LETTING ME TALK

GOD BLESS
YUMMEE YARN
