thank you so much secret pal! and update on me

sorry this is sooooooo late, she sent me a package like 1 1/2 weeks ago and i'm just now getting to posting this. forgive me!

she sent me a skein of pink chenille (?) cotton yarn which is too cute! to make dishcloths with and she sent me a multi-colored skein of cotton yarn, it's primary color is black then it has pink, purple and some other colors. i'm not looking at it right now so not positive on the colors. i also got a cute card, jelly beans and some bubble bath soap. thank you so much! i really truly appreciate it!

i had to pack the yarn away though (**cries softly**) because i'm moving! i'm moving to connecticut to live closer to hubby's family. we were supposed to leave at the end of the month but we're having to leave next monday (the 17th) due to some unexpected events so i have a 2 days to get everything together for the moving sale on thursday then make sure the place is nice and spiffy clean before we leave on monday morning. i'm so not happy about having to leave this soon but hubby tells me that we'll be in a better place in life in 6 months. he better be right or i'm going major yarn shopping to put myself in a better place (**giggles**)

i did already send my spoiler my new address so buddy if you're reading this, you have to send any packages from this moment forth to the new address. lemme know if you read this :) i'll probably email it to ya, lol.

i still gotta shop for my spoilee, i feel so bad but i've been swamped with work and all this moving crap but she won't be sad once she does get a package from me. i hope to shop for her once i get to connecticut so that she'll get something for this month.

i'm gonna miss the people that i've made friendships with here and also the ladies that i formed a knitting group with. i know that i will still keep in touch with them but it's saddening to know that i won't see them in person for awhile if ever again. i know that i will make new friends where i'm going but it's hard to let go of something you already have.

on to my knitting/crocheting update:

i used the yarn from the ebay yarn i bought (posted somewhere in the archives) and made my daughter a scarf. i finally finished it yesterday and she wore it to preschool and showed it for show n tell. isn't she just too cute? lol. i'm a proud mommy today! i'm working on a scarf for my son as well cuz you can't make for one and not the other (at least i can't do that to my kids). i'm about 1/4 done so good progress on it. i'm hoping to get it done before the weekend so that he can wear it by then since it's supposed to get colder.

i'm working on a baby blanket which is about 1/2 way done but i'll have to ship it to the lady that i'm making it for (she's donating baby tubs with items in it to charities and i wanted to help, this was before i knew i was moving)

i'm working on my first sock still............it's about 1/4 done.....who knows when that thing will be done.........maybe we should do a pool on it? lol.

once i get over to connecticut i would like to make 2 needle mittens for the kids and flap gloves for hubby and i but we'll see how that goes :D

so that's all for me...........for midwest knitters volunteer who has my site, i will probably not be posting again till late november or early december which is when i hope to be settled in my new place
