New yarn debut

So, I got a call from the camera shop on Monday, and I gave the OK to the quote to fix my camera!!!! She told me that I should have it back in 10 business days at the longest!!! WOO HOO my camera is getting fixed.
I took my new yarn and new stitch markers to cc last night. I think each color got an " i like this one". :) That makes me very happy! I hope the ladies aren't just being nice. I will find out this Saturday.
The very nice owner of the LYS where I buy my dye has asked that I bring in some yarn to show her. Since I forgot last time, I decided to not sell any of this batch until I show her. If you are reading this and you want a specific color that you saw last night, leave me a not in the comments. If someone buys it Saturday, I'll make another one before next Tuesday.

New Colorways

So, I spent all weekend dying yarn and making stitch markers. But, I still have not heard back from Sony, so I have no pics :(
I tried taking pics with my phone, it didn't pick up the colors.. then I tried with my son's camera again, but alas it does not take close-ups at all! The colors are there, but you can't even tell that it is a skein of yarn!
I'm going to call the camera shop today, just in case they lost my number and were unable to call me with a quote.
I have almost finished knitting a little sun dress for my niece, as soon as it is done, it will be sent with the sweater and the little gorilla "piggy" bank. It should get to her just shy of 2 months late.. I'm such a bad aunt!
Well, without pics to show you, that's all I got :(

Dear Sony Please fix my camera. love nobody

So, I made some snag-free stitch markers and put them up in my Etsy shop yesterday!
Within 2 hours, someone in ONTARIO had bought a set! (Canada people!! I've gone international!) Then to my surprise, when I logged on this morning, I found that another wonderful knitter had purchased 3 sets! They will be shipped off to PA tonight!!

To all of you that have been so supportive of my efforts, thank you very much! I will try to keep making things you like. I have some un-dyed yarn on its way, and I will find a way to post pictures of it as soon as it is dyed!!

In other knitting/crocheting news.. I finished the two at a time socks, I started a sweater for my niece, and NO, the wedding blankie is not done yet. No pictures.. :(

I took my broken camera to a camera shop, but the tech could not diagnose the problem. He sent it off to Sony for me. I miss my camera :( I hope they can fix it!
My son's 2.1 mega pixel just doesn't cut it. My phone takes better pictures!

In memory of when I could take pictures, I have some for you today from the last time it worked... my friend Jeni's wedding.. woo hoo!
I love mid-westerners in the desert in spring!! :D

I was kinda put in charge of the "no strippers" bachlorette party at the last min. with the only direction being.. "we want tattoos".

SWEET I can do that!! No notice needed.

Mirror Mirror on the wall...?

BA tattoo for a chef eh?

Now we see why she got this tattoo the first time..

It's so pretty.

Then we went to Freemont Street, cause once you take someone down town to get a "yard stick",

you know they are going to want to go back!!

And of course, no bachlorette party I'm at would be complete without some bikers!!

I'm so happy for you Jen. I hope you and Adam are as happy as me and my hubby! (I know you've already been together WAY longer than us.)

That was the end of my picture taking abilities. :( There was a beautiful reception, and then we went and picked up my son from Prom!! and me with no camera! I hope that I hear back from Sony soon!!

sooo slleeeppy

So, this week was a "dark" week at work. That means there are no shows, which means that we, as technicians, got to tear a bunch of stuff up! It all appears to be back together now, but we are here [on Saturday :( ] to make sure everything was put together right. :D

I have a bunch of pictures at home from Jeni's wedding, but I have not uploaded them to photobucket yet. Unfortunately, just as the happy newly married was walking back up the isle together, my camera decided that it was no longer going to work!!
I KNOW!!

We left the reception a little early and went by to see if the warranty was still valid, and of course, it ran out about a month ago :( So I have no pics from when I picked up my son and his girl from prom that night! :( The hubby is out and about today trying to see if anyone here in town can fix it. He is soo great :D

I bought some beads yesterday to make some "snag-free" stitch markers, they will be in my etsy shop sometime next week. (I hope.) I'll let yall know.

Oh.. I started my first sweater! It is a hooded pull-over for my niece. I'm making it a size 2T even though she just turned one, because I want to finish it and mail it to her before she out grows it!! hahaha I will steal my son's camera to post pics of it soon if my camera is still broken.

Well, I need to go SCUBA in the freshly re-filled pool. The water is a cold murky 65 :( I think I'm going to need the thick wet-suit! Hopefully all will be well and I will be able to get out of here soon.

PS
I bought my plane ticket for my daughters Army EOD graduation! We are going to be driving back across the country the second to last week in May! I will find a way to take pics!!!

A few of the gals from back home flew in yesterday, they called to let me know that they were drinking out of glasses the size of their head! Fun times, fun times.. tonight I'm going to pretend that I am also in Las Vegas.. no just Vegas... aka home... work.. stress..
I will post pics from the weeding next week.

Have a great weekend.
