There Is Something In The Sky

This morning I saw a halo around the sun as it was waking up. It was beautiful. I've been on a hunt to see the different Atmospheric Optics in the sky.

Here is a web site that shows you different Halos  According to this site I may see a sun dog later today around sun set. As long as the clouds cooperate. We will see.

This halo looks like an eyeball. I needed a wider camera. It was difficult to take this photo because I couldn't look in the camera to take the pic because I would be looking at the sun. I think I am addicted to looking at the sun now. Well not directly at the sun, I think you know what I mean. I wonder if I could knit one of these pic of the sun? :) Have fun looking.

And The Winners Are.......

Well we all know Cheryle won one wallet. Here are the other winners. Yes I said other winners. I did the random.org random number generator and it was so much fun that I wanted to see what other number would pop up. It was exciting so I did it again. And I did it again. I picked three numbers. I was going to do it again then realized I am already making 4 wallets to give away, so I should keep it at that.  Without further ado The winners are in the order of random.org      Two Cables and a Frapp!!!!!! Tas!!!!!! and Squiggi!!!!
I will be in contact with them. Congrats to the winners and thank you everyone for reading my blog. I've also had the chance to read your blogs and I'm glad to find new blogs to read. Thanks!!!!
Last night I was at work and they were training new girls for the show that I am in. I was a Tech and had some down time to just sit as the girls rehearsed. So I took this opportunity to knit. I almost finished the daisy cozy.

I can't wait to make me a daisy cozy. It was a nice break from the other project I've been working on since Feb. 16th. I will post a pic of it in Ravelry if anyone is interested in seeing it. Other wise I will post it when I am finished with it.

I also have fabric choices for the wallets here. The other wallet you can see the different colors I can do. I can do just one color or two or all. It is up to the winners.

Cell phone cozies!!

Here is another cell phone cozy for my friend Carolyn. It is going to have a daisy on it. I needed a small break from another project I am making. I hope to have enough yarn left over to make me one. I love daisies!!

This is a cell phone cozy I made for Eli's wife. It is made from the yarn that I used to weave her bag .

Here is a blanket I made for my Dad. I worked on it while I was traveling on my Kentucky trip a couple of months ago. My Dad is the strongest person I know. He has had cancer treatments in the past and he just gets up the next day and goes to work or goes to concerts with me. This is us at the Mannheim Steam Roller Concert.We went with my mom, the kids, Barry and my Aunt Liz and Uncle Tom. This is the second year we saw this event. Hmm I think we started a tradition.

They played their usual songs and they also played some songs from Grinchmas. They also preformed a mini play with music and narration with some of the characters from the movie. The characters were not dressed up.

It was well done. It was enjoyed by all.

 We also saw the Macy's parade at Universal and He treated everyone to Mythos. It is a resturant at Islands of Adventure. I will cherish these memories with my family for ever. As for my Dad, he is my hero and I may not always say it, but I love him and I am thankful for him every day. I love you Dad!!

My next post is my 100th post I will be doing a Contest. Be on the look out for it!!!

Carrie and Barry's Anniversary

On February 3, 2001 I married an amazing man named Barry. He is my strength when I can't get up, my laughter when I need a pick me up, and confidant, yes he knows all my secretes and loves me anyway. Our first 3 years of marriage were really difficult. It wasn't because we couldn't get along, it was other things going on in our life that we couldn't control. Barry is my rock that kept me together through my darkest hours and continuously gave me support without asking for anything in return. He held me close to him and told me everything will be alright. As always, my husband is always right. (Except for maybe one time, but in 9 years of marriage that is pretty dang good.) We are going on into our TENTH year of marriage. It is very exciting. I wonder what adventures we will explore this year!! Kentucky will be the first for us to explore. I can't wait to explore our property up there!!! I can imagine digging up dinosaur bones or hidden treasure :) . I would travel the world with you Barry and love that I am with you through it all.

For our anniversary Barry gave me a digital picture frame that has our wedding video on it. This video was on a VCR tape in our closet. He had it placed on a DVD. When I opened it and played the video I almost asphyxiated with joy and then he had our raw wedding footage on DVD as well. There is a story here. When American Idol came out we would record it on VCR when we couldn't watch it. Well one night Barry grabbed our wedding video and RECORDED over it. I was devastated. So the other part of my gift was the raw footage. As you could imagine I was in tears and couldn't stop hyperventilating. Barry was concerned as we were going into the restaurant to eat, he didn't want people to think he was beating me up, so as I cried I was smiling through out dinner. Thank you Barry, I love it!! And I have to thank my good friend Jimmy Sleeth for filming this video and all the time he spent putting the video together and saving the footage. It brings a huge smile to my face. Thanks Jimmy!!!

After Dinner when went to see Phantom of the Opera.

All the costumes were amazing!! I enjoyed them better than in the movie. They did amazing work.

The singing and orchestra were fabulous. I recommend seeing this production if it comes your way. I really enjoyed it. It was a beautiful performance. The singing filled my heart with beautiful emotions I was in bliss.Thank you Barry for bringing this experience to me. You are the best husband in the entire world. 

After Phantom we went to Portofino Bay Hotel in Orlando.

We got on a boat after we checked in and went to City Walk. There is always something going on there. We went to Pat O Brian's. They have dueling pianos and Barry watched me sing songs and scream the night away.
  

This was our view from our room. It was going to rain that day and it was cold, but the pool looked so good, I still wanted to swim in it.

Thanks Mom and Dad for watching the kids!! Although we missed them dearly, we had a good time.
Thank you Barry for our Anniversary plans I had a wonderful time. I love you with everything that I am and everything that we are together.

I am at work with nothing else to do. So, I guess I'll just knit my mittens. I am watching the concert (Heart) and I have to wait until it is over to load out the equipment. I am knitting and watching the concert. I  know it is hard to see, but I thought I would share a picture. She is singing the song Never. So much fun!!

Jill's Purple Hair!!

It's my nonblood related Best Friend Jill's purple hair!!! I say it this way to not ofend my blood related Best Friend and Twin Sister Cindy Story!!!
I had so much fun coloring Jill's hair purple. Her hair is beautiful and is also matching the freckles of purple on my floor!! I highly recomend placing something on the floor so that if a little bit of color falls to the floor it wont matter. It makes me smile to see the color on the floor, because I  will remember all the laughter we shared through the entire process. Thanks Jill. I love your hair!!

Wine Bottle Coozy

I finally gave my Best Friend Jill her Christmas present!!! It is a wine bottle coozy!! The material I used it from her brides maids dresses from her wedding. I had extra material from when we made grab bags for an aniversary party for her and her husband. The bottle is actually (42below ) It is a product of New Zeland. It is named after the longitude. It took awhile to get this product, so it isn't completely my fault that I gave it to her late. I love you Jill!! I colored her hair purple last night. She is going to send me pictures of her hair so that I can post it and show you her pretty purple hair. She loves the color purple. Well I love the color green, I wonder if I could put some green streeks in my hair. That would be fun. But, I'm not sure Barry would like it , maybe if I did Camo colors he would like it. He is all about the Camo these days!!I love you honey!!!

Today my family and i got to go in a simulator airplane. It was fun. Austin flew the plane and crashed it. Aidan almost made me sick by flying sideways. We were very lucky to get the opportunity to fly/ride in one.
