I Got Tagged

I am still working on my Christmas gifts. I am having trouble with one part of it. I hope I don't have to give up and buy commercially. I wanted the gift to be completely handmade. I must keep trying. Well I was tagged by http://www.michellesstitchwitchery.blogspot.com/
to do a Meme. Here are my rules:

1. Link to the person who tagged you.
2. Post the rules on your blog.
3. Write six random things about yourself.
4. Tag six people at the end of your post and link to them.
5. Let each person know they've been tagged and leave a comment on their blog.
6. Let the tagger know when your entry is up.


Here is mine:

1. I wish I grew up in the Victorian Era. I love the way they dress, the culture, and way of life. I would love to have a home in the mountains and live off of the land the way they did back then. I have a horticulture degree, so I would be able to grow my own food, and i know how to sew, knit, crochet. The only thing left out is that I would need to learn how to cook the food I grow. I am not the greatest cook.

2. I wanted to be an Air Force Pilot, But my lack of enthusiasm for going to school for 4 years crushed that dream. I was 21 years old and at that time thought 4 years was a lifetime. So, I became a hairstylist instead. It took less than a year of schooling for that degree.

3. I am a twin!!!! I secretly wish every time I get pregnant that I hope it is twins. I have 3 kids now, none of which are twins. If I have twins the next time I will have 5. Yikes!!! Well then there will be more help to plow the fields :)

4. I love The Brady Bunch!!!!!!!!

5. I am really scared of heights, but I love the feeling of being scared you know the part when your stomach gets that squishy feeling, and then when I am on the ground the feeling of relief. I know it is weird because at my job I am in the air often. It is a love / hate relationship.

6. Lastly, I love to clean, It feels so good to have everything in order. (If only I had more time and energy to do it).
Here are the people I tagged: Have Fun!!!

My New Yarn is Here!!!!!

Isn't it beautiful!!!!!!! This is the yarn from the contest that I won. It is Penny rose yarn. It is so yummy. Thank you Ria!!!!!! I can't wait to knit my first pair of socks. This photo doesn't do it justice. It is very beautiful. I am still working on my Christmas gifts, I stumbled on a problem which is delaying my progress. I can't tell you about it know because my family reads my blog. Don't forget about my blog contest in my Dec. 2nd post. Good luck everyone.

It Snowed In Florida

Well, It kind of did. We went to Light up Downtown Winter Garden. They did the annual tree lighting. While we were there we saw some snow. They brought in a lot of chomped up ice and made a slide.

I thought I would give it a try. You don't get to do this everyday. I can't believe how fast we went. I screamed so loud my husband was embarrassed. We ate several of cookies and drank hot chocolate. Yummy, Yummy.

Here is the Christmas tree, while I think it is pretty, I think I am prejudice to the Universal Studios Christmas tree.

They also blew snow (soap) into the streets. It didn't taste like soap. We had fun checking out all the booths, none of them were knitting related. I guess I know what I am going to do next year. I better start knitting. I got to drive the Madagascar truck in the Macy's Parade at Universal. Mannheim Steam Roller played after the parade. I have to wait for photos from my mom. My camera ran out of batteries. It happens. Remember to enter my blog contest in case you haven't, it is in my Dec. 2nd post. The deadline is Dec. 31, 2008. Good luck.

Ashley's Doll's New Sister

Look who is here. She is finally back from the eye doctor. My gracious Mom finished her eyes. Now she can be with her older sister. I gave her low lights in her hair. She was a lot of fun to make, but takes me about 3 months to make. I can't wait for Ashley to meet her. Thanks mom for making the eyes.

My First Blog Contest

I will be hosting my first blog contest. I was inspired by the many contests out there. One of which I won on the www.shortattentionspantheatre-ria.blogspot.com/ I won a skein of Penny rose yarn. Thanks Ria!!!!! I can't wait to get it. So I thought of what the contest should be about and I came up with this: I don't have many comments on my blog, but I know people visit it. If you will leave me a comment telling me what I could do to make my blog better, whatever it may be, how I could get more comments, or what you like about my blog. Remember I take criticism very well and you will not hurt my feelings. I want to make my blog better. I will be giving out 2 prizes. One prize is a surprise because it will be what I am making for Christmas gifts and I don't want to give it away in case my family reads my blog. The other prize is any 1 item for my ETSY shop. You can get there from my link at the top left side of my blog, or http://www.daisymum.etsy.com/ Please be honest in your comment. I want to improve my blogging skills. The deadline is Dec. 31, 2008 11:59 EST. I will be drawing a number out of a hat to pick the two numbers.Good Luck!!!!!!

Christmas Is Here and It Isn't Even Thanksgiving

Christmas is here!!!! Yes our Christmas tree has been up for a week now. It seemed to be the only time we would have to put it up. My son Austin really wanted to put it up. He begged me everyday for 5 days. We finally gave in when I saw my work schedule.

As you can see I worked on decorating the tree at work (Universal Studios)all week, not to mention Last Fri. night we were up all night installing the tree. The tree is about 50 foot tall. Can you see me in the High reach? From time to time I get to work as an Entertainment Tech when there aren't any hours available as Sarah Conner. I like doing the different jobs, it keeps the work week interesting.

I had a lot of fun driving the reach. I thought about knitting up there, but they will probably think that I have taken my knitting hobby to far. I had a lot of fun, but after Today I am glad I already put my tree up. I did have a chance to do some knitting this week.


I took this photo up by the star looking down.





What a view. This is what I got to look at all week, It would've been awesome to knit up there.
Oh did I mention it was a little chilly up there, for Florida.

Well, I had to wait to knit when I got home, that is alright, because I still made this fun bracelet. I just love snowmen, they melt my heart away. Well I have some catching up to do because I have been so busy. Happy knitting everyone, and Happy Holidays!!!!!!

I fixed It

I finally modified this bracelet and I like it better. I am also almost done with a soccerball one and a snowman one. They should be finished by next Wed. I am having so much fun making them. The Jack skellington one is still in the works. I 've been working on that one at work and I haven't worked at T-2 in awhile so hopefully it will be finished by thanksgiving. I also want to thank everyone who is reading my blog. I see the number of people visiting, but don't really know who you are. Please feel free to leave a comment and if you have a blog I can come and check your blog out as well. Happy Holidays everyone.

Getting Ready for Christmas Candy Canes

Happy Holidays. This is the newest bracelet. I am having so much fun creating new ones. This one was fun to make because I added jingle bells on it. I am going to modify the pattern and get bells that are a little bigger. The sound on it is soft. I want people to hear me. Also I am going to make candy cane not so square. I will be making a snowman one next, then a Christmas tree one. I will have to see what else I can create. Having fun kniting and getting ready for those Christmas gifts I will be making as well.

Florida State Bracelet

Go Florida State!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well here it is. F-l-o-r-i-d-a S-t-a-t-e Florida State, Florida State, Florida State whewwwwooooooo (that is me screaming for my Noles) This bracelet only took me 1 day to make. I still need to block it. I will do that over night. I can't wait to make more to spread the joy of the Noles.
It will also be available on my ETSY shop.

A Bracelet for Meaghan

I made this bracelet for my niece Meaghan. She is going to UF. I miss her and hope she is having an educational experience of a lifetime. I have to hurry up and make a FSU bracelet for myself. It was hard to look at the gator colors when I'm a Seminole fan, but my Meaghan was worth it. Have fun at school Meaghan!!!!!!!!!!!
