Visiting with Will, Mel and Ellie

We visited with Scott's niece Melissa and her husband Will this weekend and I got to spend some time with my precious Grandniece Elizabeth.



There is nothing that can make a person smile more than a child; especially when she's dancing and singing!

I was able to sneak a picture of Scott and Lizzy



And then Mel got him to actually look at the camera! I don't know why but niether of the Scotts will let me get a nice picture of them; I'll be printing this one for my wallett.

SocksToeUp Beginners Sock KAL - Toes DONE!

This year I was accepted into the Yahoo Group SocksToeUp, I am trying my best to keep up with their Beginner Sock KAL (Knit A Long) and I am making the socks for my bestfriend Vicky. This is what I've been able to complete, with a lot of trips to the frog pond, so far, THE TOES ARE FINALLY DONE!...

Quick update

Well I said I was going to try and keep this blog updated a bit better than it was last year and this is my starting try at it!

As far as the family goes, we are all okay health wise. Scott and Scotty are both working and I am still looking for a job although I really am getting tired of hearing how old my skills are, or 'wow, you've been out of school a long time' every time I go for an interview. At one place the receptionist even told me "off the record, they won't hire anyone in the 30's or older because they are afraid of their getting hurt and having to pay disability". Well I'm sticking to my guns and there is no way I am going back to retail! I HATE working those crazy hours and never having weekends and holidays off. See what happens when you have kids, you put your kids first like a good mom should and you put your career on the back burner; then when your kids are all grown and going off to college you try to get your life back on track just to run straight into a brick wall because you're too old!

Well on a better note, I am finally knitting myself the sweater that I wanted to make over 2 years ago! I'll post some pictures after I finally finish it in another month or so.

I made a New York Yankees logo ski hat for Anthony for Christmas, but it was way to big so I am in the process of re-knitting it now. As well as making 2 different pairs of socks as I find the time to do them.

Well that's it for now. Guess if there is anyone out there still following this blog they'll let me know.

CKAL

Today CLICK1 (Central Long Island Crochet and Knit) group started their 1st CKAL. The crochet is all new to me so I hope that I don't mess it up; and if I do that one of the crocheters can catch it and let me know about it.

Happy New Year!

Here is hoping that you all have a very Healthy, Happy and Prosprous New Year in 2010!
