Wednesday Blog Along #10

Hey, I'm back! Sorry it's been so long. March was nothing but one sickness after another. Coupled with Husband having a week off and then the kids having a week for Spring Break, I've just not had the energy for anything else but the day to day running of our household.

I'm more than half way through Ghost Story by Jim Butcher. Reading it was going so quickly, I was really gobbling it up. Now, I am making myself take sometime to enjoy it. I'm bad about reading books to fast and then missing the book once I've finished it.

And yes. I have a new WIP!

No, your eyes are to deceiving you and you are not having deja vu. Yes, yes, I am making another skull beanie. In the same colors as before. And same size. Why? You ask. Well our new dog has an appreciation for handmade knitted goods. As any good dog of a knitter/crocheter should :)

This happened on the third day we had him. Son wasn't too upset. And as all family members of a knitter/crocheter do, he turned to me and said "You can fix it." And he said this with not one ounce of doubt that his Mom could do this. But, after looking the hat over sadly I could not fix it. Son, of course, informed me that this was not a problem because I could just make him a new one. Of course.

Wednesday Blog Along #9

It's been a busy, non-stop, don't know if I'm coming or going kind of week. Last night was my first full night of sleep. Thank, God. I'm exhausted. On Tuesday last I developed this awful cough that gets especially worst at night when I'm laying down. Because of this I've not slept well.

My newest WIP is Shep.

There hasn't been any progress on any knitting/crocheting projects because when I haven't been coughing my head off, I've been kept busy with our newest family member's training. We adopted him on Saturday. He is an Alaskan Malamute/German Sheppard mix and is only 2 years old. So, he is still going through puppy stages. Since bringing him home he has not left my side; I can't walk without running in to him or walking on him.

Because of being sick, I've managed to get a lot of reading done. Finished reading Ghost Hunting by Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson with Michael Jan Friedman. It is a nice companion book to the TV show's earlier cases. Now I'm reading Ghost Story by Jim Butcher and it has caught my attention from the very beginning. I am remembering how much I enjoyed reading.

Wonderful WIP's are just a blog away so, be sure check out Tami's Amis and Small Things.
