Doncha love chaos?

Well.....my god!  I have not posted for ages!
Here is what I have done lately in the knitting part of my life......

This Naturwool made me buy it and knit a hat for one of the promoters in Japan.  The recepient is a cool chick named Sunny who just looks soooooo fabbo in pastels and actually seems like her name.  She is very sunny!

Knit on 10's with a 3/3 pattern.  I shoulda got the circulars as it doesn't look quite as good cuz of the seam.  grrrrrrrrrrr.  ah well.  that's just me bein' cheap isn't it! 

But I can't just give something to one promoter and not the pair of them cuz there's two of them!  The guy is Billy and is an amazing front man of his band called BC Butterfly.  Together him and Sunny run Booster Dragon.
So...........I was going to make him fingerless gloves cuz he wears sooooo many silver rings...but I don't think I'll have time.  So I think I'll give him this very mad scarf ....the Fringed Artiste Scarf!

But since we're on the subject of fingerless gloves.......I have been knitting a few pairs out of various yarns.....here is the latest one from Merino Frappe (made by Crystal Palace). 

Okay!  Whew!  Now my big concern is whether or not I can knit on that 11 hour flight to Japan on Korean Airlines.  I've heard varying things and have yet to actually phone the airline.  I may have to be super organized and carry a self-addressed stamped padded envelope in case they take my stuff off of me.  grrr.  Makes me feel so criminal.  For cryin' out loud!  You could turn a PEN into a weapon.  I just wanna knit on the plane!!!!  ha! 

And to be prepared for Japan, I ordered some makeup online from Strawberrynet.com.  They ship it to look like a present!  Isn't it cute??????????

And do ya notice that shiny wood surface under the makeup????????  Well, it may be a normal thing to most folks.....but in Bam n Share's lives.........this is our first table.  Yep, we've been balancing plates on our laps for 8 years now.  No indoor dining table due to too many hobbies, crafts, arts, computers, instruments etc etc etc .  It's not like we never had the room but once you put in all of the supplies of the bazillions of junk we do.........well, it's never worked.  This time, Bam called me from Ikea and said,..."I HAVE A TABLE.........CLEAR THE DECKS!"  And here she is...............isn't she lovely?

Oh........backing up to the makeup part........
I ordered that stuff before I signed up to sell this stuff.  Hey, it comes in a pink box!  How could I refuse?  And their lip liners and eye liners........oh...and the color 101 sets rule.   Yeah, I'm in to glammy crap....ha! 

so if you need anything..........!  ha!!!!

FAMILY

My dad is waaaaaaay under weight and just still going downhill.  I have to go back there again but just can't think about it what with the band going to Japan.  My mom is holding up okay under the strain and even went and played piano on Valentine's Day to cheer everyone up. (She did that for Xmas too.) 

Bam's dad is in the hospital with pneumonia.  Yep.  The big family wedding down here wiped him out and Bam's mum too.  yikes.  I guess he is doing a little better.  We sent up some Dan Brown paperbacks and he is reading them like a maniac!  Hopefully that will take his mind off being in the stinky hospital.  (hate those places.)

LIFE

I just built this site:  Show the Love.  Check it out...........she is giving her profits to charity.  Very nice stuff!

Well...........my brain is racing at a million miles an hour right now.  Thanks for puttin up with my negligent posting!

I never would've pictured you as a Mary Kay rep!!! Then again, I shocked myself and became an Avon rep last year. Are you working toward the pink Cadillac? That Naturwool is gorgeous--gotta try some one of these days.

Best wishes to the parents...Take care and have a great time in Japan!

it is very difficult when a parent is ill,i think for most of your life you kinda figure they will be about forever,i had a very bad 2003,first my mom nearly died and then my father did...........a tough time for all family members..........all you can do is be there for each other and get through it as best you can
