No WIPs today

The weather has been grey and dark by the time I get home, so no pictures this week....

I started a hat, yeah it's not too far along...and still working on my Seraphina....

And I'm teaching the Hubs about the glories of etsy...I sent him my wishlist...

and oh, yeah, I came home to yarn again today...I need to take a picture of all my newest yarn....

today was Cookie A's last one for this year...I decided not to renew, as I didn't use any of the yarn or patterns this year, but will eventually...

But I did renew Mad Color and chose the Steampunk option!  Can't wait!!!

Doubt I'll have a FO on Friday....but we'll see....

Ouchey

Today I went to the dentist to get my permanent crowns....my mouth was numb for several hours..and still feels ouchey....

Today my nephew had a benign tumor removed from his finger..

Today, a friend's son had his checkup for the removed tumor in his eye...

Another friend's son had surgery today...

A friend from school had foot surgery today...

I think mine was probably the least ouchey....but I still deserve goodies for not crying from the needle...and wouldn't ya' know!  I came home to yarn...yep...Random Fandom arrived....

No pictures as it was too dark, maybe tomorrow...hint......

Is this the real life,
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide
No escape from reality
Open your eyes
Look up to the skies and see
I'm just a poor boy
I need no sympathy
Because im easy come, easy go,
Little high, little low
Any way the wind blows
Doesn't really matter
To me, to me

So I was invited to join Reverb12.  A question will be posted each day on I Saw You Dancing....not sure I will do it everyday, but on the days I don't know what to blog...why not?

Today's question:

 How are you starting this last month of 2012?  I am starting the month tired.  I am finally on the tail end of being sick, but it has been a tiring week.  I am starting the month with a new principal, and the possibility of a major program change.

I am starting the month with a messy house, that desperately needs a top to bottom cleaning....but I have not had either the energy or the desire to clean....

I am starting the month with the new Nerd Wars challenges.  And new bedding..I went shopping today...

Christmas is around the corner, but we don't buy for too many..and the niece and nephews would really like cash...quick and simple...plus we will spend some time doing something together over break...

And I am starting the month with some bitter cold weather...so I am holed up watching the last season of Supernatural (on blu-ray, purchased today), drinking some tea and thinking about crafting...

How about you?

Thank God It's Friday!

It's been a rough week....battling a cold, battling students (yeah, they didn't stay the sweet and concerned)...and new principal...Plus now I have to jump through some hoops to post pictures on here....

So I have sent my swap parcel off the Japan...I doubt my swap partner even knows I exist, let alone this blog..so here is what I made her and sent off....4 pairs of earrings.  She said she likes fun earrings...

The ones on the bottom are just drops....I actually stiffened the turtles and snowflakes, which I have never done before....Probably will make some more snowflakes...

I also finished another project for Nerd Wars...my SOS gloves...

 And that would be it for me this week...please check out other finished projects at Creative Friday,
Tami, and Wisdom Begins in Wonder

One of the reasons

I teach is the students....

today, I was not feeling well...and it was very hot in my classroom....I got really light-headed and almost fainted....

One student brought me a chair (I was standing in the classroom doorway)....they told everyone to go sit down (we were getting ready to switch classes)....and one of them stood behind me fanning me.....

Some days I am full of frustration....and then there are these days.....plus they were all on task today and working....it was a good day...

Misc on a Sunday

Tomorrow it is back to work....I planned on cleaning this weekend....yeah that did not happen..but I did crochet quite a bit!

I am working on another pair of fingerless gloves...and have pulled apart the second one a couple of times...I always make one bigger than the other...sigh...

I have made 4 pair of earrings for my swap partner....well I have to put the earring wire on them...but I did crochet 4 pairs yesterday, plus a couple of extra Stargates....then I sprayed starch on them and put them outside to dry overnight...hopefully it works....

The ones on the bottom are drops, and I sprayed the curl....the Stargates did not need to be starched.

I received my latest Nerd Wars yarn - In Like A Lion

I ordered a cowl from Wisdom Begins in Wonder....she made it for Nerd Wars..how awesome is that!

I won a basket of Dunkin Donuts goodies.....I think I may donate the coffee and maybe the cups, not sure we'd ever use them...or maybe regift...

And this is what my computer desk looks like right now....I clean it off and it just gets messy again...

And I have a nasty cough today.....just in time to go back to work....

Black Friday Finishes

I shopped Black Friday once...and said Never Again!  But I also don't have a ton of people to buy for and no kids...I think it may be worth it, if you have kids.....yup...I may stay in the pj's all day...although the LYS 5 minutes from me is having a buy 2, get 1 free sale today...may have to wander up there for that!

This is my ZPM Cowl....it reminds me of the ZPM's in Stargate.  I made it for Nerd Wars.  This yarn has gone far!

It is Creatively Dyed Beaches one-off color.  I bought it from her the first year she was at Rhinebeck.  I walked by her booth a couple of times and it kept catching my eye, so I knew it had to be...It probably is my favorite colorway...and I still have a ball left!

My other finished object today is the niece's Starry, Starry Night Mitts....They came out great!  I still have a ton of that yarn left, so may be making myself a pair!

I hope everyone has a great weekend!  I have some cleaning to do...but now I think I am heading in search of breakfast.....

As always...Tami, Natural Suburbia and Wisdom in Wonder
