Randomly on my mind

Ok, it's been a long time since I've updated my blog....as I've been reminded last night by Ms. Stellar. I'm actually surprised I even blogged at the end of May, as I gave birth 2-days after. Heh. I thought I hadn't touched this blog longer than that. Bleah.

So. What's up w/ me? I've decided I will update this blog today. heh. I'm going to be talking about other random things on my mind besides for knitting. Hmm...I think I'm gonna change the title of my blog to "Knitting on my mind...and random things".

First random thing...I received a pkg of bead accessories I ordered recently. Yay! I've been busy w/ taking care of two kids for the past two-weeks and hadn't had much time to work on the beading project I had in mind. It's a pair of earrings. My friend bought me a beading book for my b-day back in Sept and her b-day just past in May. We haven't seen each other in a long time as our group of friends have gone really busy as we've gotten older. As DH mentioned the other night, when we were younger we didn't have much money but had time...now we're older and don't have much time but are earning money. Ughh. I digress. Back to beading. So, she mentioned she liked one pair of earrings in the book so I had planned to make it for her ever since. I've bought the material and so far I've wired together all the individual bead groups for one of the pair of earrings and just need to attach them on a chain and attach the earring hook. I'll post pictures when I'm done. Hm...not sure when that'll be.

I also bought yarn and beads for a dress pattern, Crumpets, I plan on knitting up for my daughter. I'm excited! But first, I need to finish up one more WIP so I don't feel bad that projects are piling up but never done. I've done a really good job of closing up my WIPs even after birth and having to take care of a newborn. Well, it does help that we got a nanny. heh.

I'm almost done w/ the hairpin lace cardi wrap. Wahoo! Just need to do the sleeves now. I've been saying that for over a week now. I've just been really tired and out of time. In fact, DS is beckoning for my time now. I've gotta blog again later. Also, no pics available as I'm not on my own computer now.
