Happy Friday!

Hurrah!  It's the weekend! 

We have family in town this weekend, so it will be a busy one!  We got the house, driveway and area around the pool powerwashed and it looks so good!  Isn't it amazing how much you do to help your house sell when you should do it before while you are living there?  I'm hoping it sells fast.  We are planning on going up next weekend to look at houses.  Hopefully we will find one and won't have to be in temporary housing. 

Sitcom Chic and I are on a timeout.  I finished it last night except for the neckband.  Well, the top is huge.  It fits pretty well everywhere else except for the front shoulderblade area.  It will be going with me to knit night to see if it can be salvaged.  I may need to rip it and fix the decreases.  It is knit in the round so it is a lot of knitting.  I may just frog it all together, I don't know if I love it enough to redo it.  Hence, the timeout. 

I'm casting on for the Shetland Shorty tonight.  I'm ready for something a little more complicated after my hours of stockinette stitch of the Sitcom Chic.  I'm going to use some Cherry Tree Hill that the fab Kathleen got me.  It is all pretty and blue and green, aren't we all surprised that it isn't pink?!

Finally, thank yall so much for the warm welcome back into blogland.  Knitters are wonderful friends and I'm lucky to have great support.

Time Flies

Lordy lordy!  I didn't realize I had neglected my poor blog for almost a year!  That is so so sad! 

Ladybug is getting so big - she is 19 months and running and talking some.  I can't believe how big girl she has gotten.  New pictures are at http://gkbphotos.shutterfly.com.  I can't believe she is a toddler!  I absolutely adore this age.  She is much more interactive and developing her own personality.  Her top favorite things are purses, balloons, Elmo and the Disney Princesses.  A girl after my own heart!

We've had a rough past couple of months, but I'm back on the right track.  I kind of lost my way back again, but thanks to good friends and my darling husband, I'm coming out of my funk.  It has been a long, hard road and post-pardum depression is not a fun thing. 

Our exciting news is that we are moving!  We are moving to Evansville, Indiana!  DH got a job with a different company and is going to be starting there at the end of July.  So, we have to pack up our house and head north!  I know it will be a big adventure.  It looks like there is a lot more knitterly activity going on there, so that is fantastic. 

I'm hoping to update the blog more regularly now that I'm getting back into my creating mode.  I've started sewing and smocking so much of that is to come.  I'm almost done with my Sitcom Chic cardi and in the planning process for the next project.  In my fresh start mode, I scrapped everything I was working on cause I figured if I really didn't like it, I wouldn't finish it.  Except this cardi cause it was almost done and everyone needs a white cardi.
