Little turkey......and a new purse!

In the mornings if the kids are up and ready before we are, which happens a few times, it is fun to just sit and listen to them talk to each other and interact with each other. The most fun of the three is Gabryle. Even though he is the youngest, he can really keep up with the girls well.
This morning before school The girls were all ready and in the living room. Gabryle jumped off of our bed and went in with the girls and Kenzie decided to play a little with him. She asked him for kisses and squeezes (hugs) and he did and after he did he hollered "Bye." She didn't leave so he yelled "Bye-bye" to her. She asked a few more times and each time he would tell her "Bye." Finally he just started yelling "Bye bye" to her and you could tell he was getting frustrated with her.  she finally quit, and then when it was time for us to head to school for their breakfast he wouldn't tell her "bye", but he made sure to tell me "bye".
After I got back we sat and watched a little news and then as Jerrod was leaving for work, Gabryle was trying to move the trash can. (I moved it from its normal spot to see if we can find a better place to leave it.) He got so upset because I moved the trash can and would not let him move it back to where it was sitting. Really out of all three of the kids at this age, he has been the most easy going of the three. He can keep himself busy with toys or books better than the girls can.

I also finished a new project with my knitting looms. I made a little purse, and am very proud of it. It has turned out really cute I believe. I used the shortest loom I have and made it large enough I can fit my license, cell phone, ipod and keys in it without it being overly full. I used just some plain light pink fabric and made a liner and sewed it inside and attached the shoulder straps to the liner. Here's the pictures below!

Till Next Time!!

One of my Hobbies

Scarf I made.

I have gotten to where I really enjoy knitting. I actually currently have 3 different projects going on at once which luckily I can keep straight. Jerrod bought me for Christmas a set of long knitting looms, which are really cool. Makes knitting scarfs and pieces of knitted blankets go by very quickly, and you can knit it double sided, which makes it just a little thicker. I love them!!!!!

I have made me a new scarf, which I haven't really been able to use since it has been unseasonably warm this winter. I'm working on knitting Kylie a blanket, that is hot pink, and then another beige afghan for the living room. (that way Jerrod and I can both have one when its cool in the house!)  Kenzie wants me to make her a new scarf also, so I will start on that one soon also.

I made. 

I also am currently working on how to learn to knit flowers. (So if any of you that know how to knit flowers have any advice I'm up for the tips!!) I think it would be cool to learn how to do those, plus I just think they are pretty. I told Kylie that I was going to learn how to make them and she asked if when I do and finish her blanket if I can attach a few on the blanket for her, so I told her I would try to do that. 

Once I get a few more of the projects I'm working on I'll get them posted no here for you too see also! Hope you enjoy!!

Till Next Time!!!! 

Working on an Afghan

Afghan I'm working on

 A while ago I taught myself how to knit. I will be the first to tell you I am not the greatest at it, but I try which is pretty good. I work at it when I have the time, which lately is when the girls are at school and Gabryle is napping, or at night after the kids go to bed.

Right now I am working on a small afghan. I'm halfway through with it so far and have already had Mackenzie ask if I can make her one when I get done making the one I am doing right now. I've almost gone through two fourteen ounce balls of yarn and will do at least one more. (the ball in the corner of the couch is what I have left of the second ball.) I'll also add some claret colored fringe to the ends when I am through with the beige color. I've found it actually pretty relaxing to sit and knit for a while. Occasionally I'll work on it while the kids are off playing in the bedrooms, but not all the time.  

I know it doesn't look like much at the moment, but when I have it completed soon I'll make sure and post some pictures for all to see.
