Rain Rain

Spring rains are finally here. 4 days of rain and the weeds are above my waist. There was a texas rat snake in the hen house swallowing an egg. We had to take off the outer siding to get the snake and shoot it.

The first tornado of the year was the other night. I as usual slept thru it and the hubby stayed up and worried over it. It landed 12 miles south of us. Last night it was just thunder and lightening :)

Now it needs to quit and dry up so we can cut all the grass and weeds.

Socks!

So I am on a sock binge. I love them anyway... But I have two new sock books and I want to make them all!. Is that crazy or what?! I joined a Knit A Long and we'll be knitting 1 pair of socks a month from one of those books until we have all the socks from that book. Yay! Such inspiration for me. It's the Makin' Cookies group on Ravelry. I love them. They're a great group of people. May 1st we cast on the 1st official pair from Cookie A's Book "Sock Innovation". We've been warming up with some of Cookie's other patterns before hand. I'll be done tonight crosses fingers with one pair and working on the other. My goal is to be done by the end of the month with this other pair. But knowing me I'll be late ;) No biggy. The socks aren't walking away hahaha

On a side note I finished my Etsy update Friday early and am very happy with it. I hope it sells well.

Chickie Pics for Wyatt!

Ok! They are a good 3-4 weeks old now. Some still look teeny, some look huge, some are in the ugly stage, and some are starting to look beautiful. Like Miss Fluffypants. My one and only Silver Laced Lahkenvelder died. I found her in the pen today. :( If I can ever get the pictures off my camera's minis SD card I'll post them. She was one of my favorites. The drastic up and down temps were too much I guess. Even with the heat lamps. The others seem to be doing just fine. Another thing I need to remember is Certain breeds aren't truly meant for this climate and it's a risk to raise them here. I chose a mix "Surprise" box and this happens. Next time I will choose more wisely in breeds.

So! Here come the pictures for Wyatt!

The Other Pair of Shoes

They aren't black and hot pink, but they'll do ;)
A little roomy in the toe area. But I have weird toes and a narrow-ish feet. Plus these are running shoes. The only reason I know this is because the shoe laces say "shut up and run" LOL

Deven swears the jell things in the heals will keep my feet from hurting when I am standing on them for long periods of time or walking on concrete in town. I don't know how he knows this since he is wearing bright blue/black Nike Air Shocks. :P

Needless to say I like both sets of shoes. All I need now is a pair of sandals, since the sole flew off the ones I have currently. (I know... I am terrible about buying shoes before they fall apart) and a pair comfy casual dress shoes.

I'm Almost Famous

My friend Anona asked if she could name something after me. I said "sure". Here it is at Sonny & Shear. I am "Huggybear" on Ravalry.

Isn't it pretty? Spinning and felting wool. The boys LOVE it. The Karmalicious & Stashmore ones are my new favorites as well. To bad there are only 3 left each of them. :( She does great work. If you spin go get you some before it gone :D
