Namaste Hollywood Pink

Well here she is. I have to say I almost cried when I pulled her out of the box and saw how rich and pretty the color is. She will fit right into my Namaste family.

Blab And More Blab

well I kinda was sitting here this morning  thinking about all the stuff I have not blogged about and the things to come, so here we go. 

First off about 3 weeks ago my washer totally went out . Don tried to fix it and there was just no hope and I found him in the laundry room kicking and cussing the washer,lol. He was some kind of mad at the old beast and he charged out into the living room and stated we were going washer hunting. And that we did. we went to about 3 different places and ended up getting this washer for a steel. In fact when we went out this weekend back to Lowes were we bought it, it had gone up like 120.00!!!! so I guess we bought it at the right time for sure.

So last week I was in my craft room cleaning up and I really looked around and thought I missed having a work desk. I had a really nice one that was a L shape that I used for years but I gave it to my 10 year old  step daughter for her room along with my old desk top computer. Thinking about it made me text the Man and told him I would like it if he could make me a desk or if we could go buy one. Well the great man that he is said ok and I thought no more about it till he came home and said he found a really nice desk on Craigs list. Of coarse I was thinking the worst since most of the furniture I have seen there is not worth my time. But I thought I would go along  with it. We called the person and they said that someone was coming to their house to look at the desk and if they didn't take it we were more than welcome to come and decide if we wanted it. So we waited and the guy called back and said for us to come on over and look at it. Well when we got there I could not believe how pretty and perfect this desk was. It has never been used and the thick plastic is still on the seat of the chair to keep the fabric protected!! we got it for 75.00. The lady said it has just sat in a spare room unused since they bought it. As soon as we handed over the cash for the desk the other person called to say they were on the way to look at the desk..heeeeeee,, to bad suckers I got it first :) its so perfect for my craft room . The desk has no marks,scuffs , nothing on it. The house it was in was super nice,like a 400,000 house so you would think they would have charged more for the desk. My lucky day I guess, feel very lucky I got it.

This is my new laptop stand me and the Man picked of this week at Big Lots. We got two of them so we can sit in the living room and work. As you can see on the side there is my knitting :) Love this little contraption and thank who ever thought of it. Every nice to have.
We also this week re-stained the coffee table to a pretty almost black to match the furniture and bought new center piece mirror for the living room and a new massive clock to put over the tv. Trying to redo the living room to make it more modern. Next we will buy new recliners and get rid of the old ones.

So on to knitting.. I found someone to take spinning classes from and can't wait to learn. Plus I am going to try my hand at dying yarn for myself :) I have really wanted to do these two things for a very long time but for some reason I thought I had to have someone with me to do so. But I'm going just go out and do it for myself. I guess I will go to knitpicks.com and order yarn and dye and see how that goes. I watched a video were you can use kool-aid but I want more color than that is going to give me right now. May be something I try later on. I will post more next week when I have took my spinning class and dyed some yarn.. Happy knitting all.

Knitting Project

Hi everyone. I wanted to post what I am working on these days. It's called Shawl that Jazz . You can buy the pattern on Raverly http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/shawl-that-jazz 

 I'm making it with Patons Classic Wool in Plum Heather on size 10 needles. The pattern calls for size 8 but i'm a really tight knitter so I had to go out a couple sizes. This is going to be my Woobie to snuggle with when I am freezing my butt off in the house or maybe to walk outside a little when it is cool. I'll post pics when I'm a little further in the project . Happy Knitting all.

Knitting update

So is this great little find I could not have made without twitter. Someone had made a post about Magneat for you ipod headphones so I went to the website and bought a pair. It's the best thing that has happened since sliced bread people. The back comes off , you slid it under your shirt ,pop the skull part over the magneat and presto it just hangs there on your shirt. then you can wrap the headphones around the Magneat as it shows on the box. No more headphones laying all over the place or around your next when your in Walmart shopping. Your know what I mean. Your in wally world jamming out with your ipod and some dumbass wants to talk , so you pull out your headphones and they hang there or you wrap them around your neck!!! there is a video on youtube of how these work too.. love them.

On to knitting stuff.. I got a new Namaste Zuma bag in Peacock show in the pics above :) you really can't see the true color of the bag because the lighting in my house is poor so it looks alot darker than it is. the peacock zuma is on the left hand side of the picture.  I have a Namaste Malibu in Hollywood Pink that should be here next week too :) Then I want a red one and I should be good for a while, lol.. ya  right.. I love these bags.. they serve as my purse and knitting bag. I really have enjoyed owning them and look forward to getting more in the future.
I started knitting yesterday on Shawl That Jazz pattern from Raverly. It is a shawl that is more like a blanket . It has no Yarn over holes and just some ruffle at the bottom. Thought this would be a great way to use up some of my wool I have in the house. I also completed the mate to my pair of toe up socks i started like 4 months ago. I will have to take pics of them too.
On the weight loss front I have not been doing well. I have gained the 9 pounds i lost back !!! but I'm not stopping.. my other half has been working out at the gym so I am going to start working out very slowly . My high blood pressure is there and I have to be careful since I am not on any medication for it. if you asking why, No insurance, so no doctor.  I just have to control it with diet. No suger, no carbs!..
Hope I will have more to post next week.. take care and be safe all.. 

I'm Back

Boy I have not posted in a while and wanted to let my few readers know that I will be posting today or tomorrow with some pics and updates on my weight journey and knitting :) Just have not taken the knitting pics yet so that's why I will post later today . See you then

Fw: My weight

This is so crazy. I got on the scale this morning and it said 169. Now it says 166.6 so this just tells me I'm getting to much salt in my diet.. I will have to cut it out and drink less or more water..

Weight In Day

Well the Scale that I am at 169.0 , so that means I am up from last week.. Not sure how that happened but now I know I am going to have to work my butt off with more treadmill time. I did not workout all week and I guess it shows for sure.. I will keep hitting the workouts hard and see if the scale goes down.
