Pretty Pumpkins and Where Have I Been?
Oh my goodness! It has been forever since I last blogged. So, what have I been up to? Well, I got my sewing machine for my birthday, I also got TONS of yarn and more awesome stuff!! The sad part is that my sewing machine promptly broke on me a week after I received it. : ( So, now i have been waiting to get a new one and finally received an old one, but am waiting for a foot pedal that I ordered. I feel so anxious to quilt. Right now I am working on a quilt for Katy and Dave who got married on October 4th and are still waiting for their quilt. I feel horrible that I haven't gotten it to them yet, but I have it all cut and pinned and it is just waiting to be pieced and quilted. I am super excited about this quilt and loved picking out the fabrics! They requested pink, brown, and polka dots as well as blue and purple if I could get it in there. How awesome is that? I believe that buying things for Katy has made me really start looking at brighter and more vibrant colors in everything. I used to love pastels and darker colors, but now I am really into bright colors. Thank you for that Katy!!
I also started school on Sept 24th and that has been pretty stressful, but fun at the same time. The most stressful part is that the school is about an hour or two (depending on traffic) away and that on tuesdays and thursdays, we have to be there at nine a.m. Spenser and I wake up at 5:30 on those days and we get to school at about 7:30 or 8. I know you are thinking, "why do we leave so early?" Well, whenever we leave later, we end up sitting in more traffic and getting to school just in time. Getting there earlier allows us to not sit in so much traffic and also to get our homework done.
Another stressful thing: Mondays. I hate mondays, but not for the usual reason. I hate them because I hate having to go to my biology lab where I have to sit and listen to the dumbest, most arrogant man on Earth!! This guy is so impressed with himself that he almost seems to think that he is too good to be teaching a lowly biology laboratory. He constantly lectures and quizzes on things not related to the labs at all, while also making you feel like an idiot if you don't understand something that students in a freshman level biology class wouldn't know!! He then tells you that all this information is common sense and that we should just know it. This man gives us a lab to do that he doesn't even know how to do himself, expects us to know how to do it given a very poorly written page of instructions, and then yells at us when we do something even remotely wrong. I walk out of that lab every monday fuming with the way that we have just been treated by this man. But enough about that, on to the fun stuff I have been up to...
Sunday we had family pumpkin painting day which was a blast. I forgot how much painting relieves my stress. I am planning on getting more painting stuff and start painting again (if I can ever find the time). It was very fun sitting down with everyone and creating wonderful pumpkin works of art. I would say that Katy created more than all of us, with a total of three or four small pumpkins and carving a very large pumpkin which smelled delicious! She has a green and white pumpkin that smelled like cucumbers and had gigantic seeds.

Here is a picture of it carved, it reminds me of Meatwad from Aquateen Hunger Force and I believe she named him Harvey or Walter, I can't remember, but he is very cute and squat and happy!
Here is my pumpkin:
Once I get pictures from Senor I will post them. These pictures include Dave's warty pumpkin and Spenser's crazy clown pumpkin.

Union Jack Socks
So, I was looking at another blog that I read that makes fun of pictures people post of themselves on Craigslist and saw a picture of a guy in Union Jack boxers and matching knee socks. Being a knitter, and also being totally obsessed with all things British, I was immediately drawn to these wonderful socks and had to have some!! But when I headed over to ravelry to do a search for a pattern, none could be found.
I want these socks so bad, that I am going to do two things I have never done before:
-create my own pattern
-use intarsia
During my search for more pictures on google, I found this site that tells you exactly how you are supposed to draw the Union Jack: http://www.jdawiseman.com/papers/union-jack/union-jack.html I had no idea that the are precise measurements that have to be made. But, I also think that if I am going to do this, I better to it right! So, hopefully, in the months to come, you will begin seeing picture of my progress and a wonderful pattern as well.

Oops...
I didn't realize how long it had been since I posted. Shame on me!! I don't really have much to say except that only four more days of work and then I am going to be bored and broke for two months. I am going to search for a job at Micheal's, Joann's or Barnes and Noble. My preference is Barnes and Noble, but I will take any of them. Just hope that I can find one.
Spenser and I are having a date day today. We are going to go out to lunch and then go to see "Dark Knight."
I am frantically trying to finish Ali's last B-day sock. Her birthday was back in April and I only gave her one sock. Why? Because these socks have been giving me hell. Well, that isn't the whole truth, I can't really blame the socks. If I would pay attention to the chart more instead of just assuming I know what to do next, I wouldn't have had to frog so many time. But I am on the right track now. The heel is turned and I only have about three repeats to go. What socks are they do you ask?? Why, they are the beautiful pattern called Pomatomus from Knitty. To show just how much I don't hate this pattern, or blame it for my problems for that matter, I have been fantasizing over what color I am going to make them in next. And not just any color, one from my stash!! That's right people (all two or three of you who actually read this!), I am going to be using yarn from my stash!!!! I think I deserve a round of applause. Of course, the only reason why I haven't used any yarn from my stash yet is only because I haven't found the right pattern for them! **Shifty Eyes**

One of My Favorite Summer Time Activities
When I was younger, one of my favorite activities in the summer was going water skiing. Every year, when I would go visit my Dad in Iowa, we would drive 7 ½ hours up to Long Lake, Wisconsin to stay for a week or two. It was a very gorgeous place, right on the lake. In one cabin, we had me, my dad, my step-mom, and my brother. My step-grandpa stayed in the other cabin. He was the one with the boat.
The cabins could definitely have used some freshening up and maybe a time warp out of the 60’s (could have been 70’s, I am too young to know which decade). Some of the curtains in the cabin we stayed in were pink with white polka dots and pink bobbles on the ends. And that was just one of the rooms! There was no main theme to any of the cabins, unless you would consider a particular decade a theme, but I loved it! There was something about living right on the lake that was very calming and peaceful. Whenever I got upset (which I did A LOT being a teenager and all), I would go sit on the dock and just listen to the lake. I loved being on the water, in the water, or having anything to do with the water.
When I learned how to ski, I didn’t want to do anything else. Of course, learning was the hard part, but that was helped along with the promise of a chocolate malt from Max’s (best food ever!) if we made it up and around in a small circle. I believe we also were rewarded with a chocolate malt if we made it up on one ski and around in a small circle. I love to learn new things, and I love learning them even more when I get rewarded for having done so.
The first few times trying to get up was difficult, but I had a good teacher and I
think I got up and stayed up within fifteen tries, maybe even ten. My brother had a harder time, but once we both learned, we became avid skiers and rarely wanted to stop.
Our whole family loved to ski and one time all five of use skied behind Jonsie’s big boat, loving named Big Bertha. I believe we had every customer at Max’s outside watching us when we were trying to get up and cheering us on when we finally went around the lake.
I hope one day when I have kids, I can find a lake to take them to every summer and hopefully they will want to learn how to ski.

Ice Cream Swap
I received my swap package from my partner in the Ice Cream Swap today! The first thing I noticed was how heavy the package was. When I opened it, I was greated by a wonderfully soft knitted hat that screams Mint Chocolate Chip.
Inside, I found a plethora of goodies.
Many, many different types of chocolate and candy. Milk Duds, mint truffle chocolate bar, 3 Musketeers Mint bar, Mint Hot Chocolate mix and a package of sweettarts.
There is a cool wax potpourri burner thing (on the left of the picture). My partner got me Melon scented wax (my favorite scent!) and tea lights to go with it. I will have to take a bath tonight and use the wax burner along with my new Ice Cream Bubbles.
I also received two cool containers that I am assuming were hand made by my partner. One says "stitch markers" and the other says "needle case." Inside the needle case were, of course, needles and a pair of scissors. Inside the stitch marker case were two different types of rulers. I definitely needed these (how did you know?). No more measuring for garments using string and a ruler!!
There was also a package of green tea with mint, some mints, a journal, and two postcards.
Also, a thimble that says Reno on it and some cute little ice cream cone buttons.
I also got three skeins of cotton yarn(Sugar and Cream and Peaches and Cream) in greens and browns.
On top of all this, I opened the letter that also arrived from my partner today and found a coupon for a FREE pint of Ben and Jerry's ice cream.
Thank you so much amandaleigh!!!

My Shawl Swap Package!
I also received a wonderful package from my partner in the Shawl/Stole Swap on ravelry yesterday!
My partner sent me two very pretty (and soft) skeins of Fiddlesticks Knitting Zephyr Wool-Silk yarn in the colorway Juniper. It is a very pretty blue-green and I can't wait to make my new shawl out of it. The shawl pattern that she chose for me is Juno Regina from Knitty. It is very pretty and I can't wait to start.
She also sent me a copy of the pattern, some nice almond milk hand cream and a pumice stone.
Thank you so much Tasha!!

Yay! Swap Package! (Picture Heavy!)
I received my first package from my secret swap partner yesterday! It was very nicely wrapped in pink and green paper. Unfortunately I don't have pictures of that because my camera didn't have batteries and I was too impatient to wait until I got some more. Inside I found many many wonderful things!
There was two packages of chocolate, Choxie truffle chocolates and a dark chocolate mix from Ghirardelli (Mmmmm.... they have already been sampled my Spenser and myself).
There was also some alba body cream in Kukui nut scent! It smells delicious.
My partner also included some goodies from Race for the Cure. A very pretty head scarf in pink, and some keychains that represent different sizes of tumors found in the breast.
Also, some gummy bears (partially snacked upon by me), a very cute card and a super cool bag for my knitting notions.
The bag is made out of recycled bottles. How cool is that?
And, saving the best for last, a wonderful skein of C*Eye*Ber fiber sock yarn in the Lily Pad colorway. 435 yds of Superwash merino and nylon. It is very soft and very pretty!
Thank you Secret Partner, whoever you may be!! I have to say that you have spoiled me rotten!!

So You Think You Can Dance?
Oh My goodness! Why didn't I fall in love with this show earlier? I have totally loved Tabitha and Napoleon. I love their Katie and Josh routine the first week :http://youtube.com/watch?v=c_GRUm3-0jU&feature=related. This week, I am also totally in love with their routine they did for Chelsea and Mark :http://youtube.com/watch?v=ovjAuBuepVA. So far I have watched it about four times. Shhhhh..... Yes, I am one of those crazy people who can listen to a song an infinite amount of times in a row before I get tired of it (and I LOVED this song!)

DON'T TOUCH MY STOMACH!!
Okay, so yesterday I got an inside look at what it is going to be like when I am pregnant in the future (far future). My boss was telling me what I needed to do to get ready for us opening when all of a sudden, she stops talking, stares at my stomach and then slowly reaches over and pats/rubs it! WTF?? All I could say was "No", as in, "No, I'm not pregnant." The word pregnant never actually was said by either of us, but I knew what she was referring to when she patted my stomach. Who does that??
I have heard many ladies complain about how people would always touch their stomachs when they were pregnant which is something I completely don't understand at all. Why do people suddenly think that since you are growing a child in your stomach, it is okay to go ahead and touch you? They wouldn't think it was okay to come and touch your stomach normally, so why when you have a child in there? But then, for someone to reach out and touch your stomach when they don't even know if you are pregnant, that is even worse. Why would you do that?
Oh yeah, then when I told her "No, I'm not pregnant." She says, "Oh, just relaxing for summer then?" What? Did she just call me fat? I will be glad when I do not have her as a boss any more. But I will be sad to be leaving the beautiful new science building!

Some WIP's
These are my "Socks of Science." I am making them for Senor for father's day.
Now, you may be asking yourself why these are a work in progress and why they are called socks of science. Well, I still have to add "socks of science" on one foot and a microscope on the other. They are called "Socks of Science" because a while back Senor began adding of science to the end of anything. Now his students have taken to it and many gifts he receive have the infamous "of science" on them. So, now he will have some socks to go along with it.
These socks are going to be knee highs. They are made with Knit Picks Felici yarn in the colorway Gelato. So far, they are one of my favorite pairs of socks. My other favorite pair was the monkey socks I made for Kat. Pictures will come for those after I give them to her!
This yarn is SO soft!! I can't wait to wear them.
Hopefully you all have a nice week! Well, are having a nice week!

I Think I may Have Finally Borken the Habit!!
Yay for me. It's been about five weeks at least since I last bit my fingernails. I almost don't want to jinx it by saying that I think I kicked the habit (*cough* addiction *cough*). So far so good. I should make some sort of chip for myself like they give you in Alcoholics Anonymous! Maybe I will...

Our Sunday Trip
Today we left the house at around 11 and headed to Sacramento to see The Phantom of the Opera. It was awesome, I left my camera in the car when we went in because I was afraid they might confiscate it, but I wish I wouldn't have because the stage setup itself was amazing. The special effects were way cool and by far the most spectacular of any play I have seen so far.
Even though I don't have any pictures of what we saw on our way to and from the parking lot (including a church of Scientology with what we think was a security guard standing out front) I do have pictures of our eventful trip there.
First we stopped to check the oil and found that we only had about one-third of a (tank?) container in there. So we filled it up some more.
After that we were on our way.
We encountered some helpful warning signs:
And some nice dairy trucks:
Why what is that on our windshield, you ask? We believe it was either milk or ice cream that was delightfully spewing from the back of the truck. The windsheild was so dirty after this, it gave me a headache just looking through it.
On our way home, I decided that I should find a gas station and clean it off so that while we were driving home, I didn't have to deal with impared vision and a headache. However, my navigator thought differently. He decided that we only had a little bit of time before it got dark and that I wouldn't be driving into the sun anyway so it wouldn't be that bad. Boy was he wrong, on both accounts!! We had a whole half an hour left to drive and the sun wasn't going to set for another hour at least. Then on the way home, we were driving directly into the sun. FUN, FUN, FUN for me!
We finally made it home and I cleaned my windshield, however, my navigator is now fired. That was his third strike. What were his first two? Number one: When asked which way I would be turning onto the road ahead, he said, "Oh, you'll see it. It's at the four way stop up there." That's right, FOUR way stop! Number two: When asked what exit am I looking for up ahead, he says, "15th St." Later on we are talking about how far the exit is and I find out that I am supposed to merge onto a completely different freeway in between where we were and the 15th st. exit.
It's okay though, all mistakes were taken care of before they got us lost, and we made it home in one piece. I still love him and maybe he will get to be navigator again some day. To be honest, I am still shocked he trusted me enouh to drive there!

I think it is horrible that someone would do this to anyone, let alone a 5 year old. What is wrong with people? And then to read some of the comments people made praising this worthless human being. UGH!

My Awesome Sunday Plans
So, one of mine and Spenser's Christmas presents from my Grams was tickets to go see The Phantom of the Opera when it came to Sacramento on May 25th. I am so excited that it is almost here. I have always wanted to go see this at the theater since I was little, and now I get to go! I think this might be one of the best weekends so far this year!! (Of course the #1 Best weekend being the weekend of February 8th.)
Summer of Love Yarn swap Q&A
Do you knit or crochet? How long have you been at your craft?I do both, but I have been knitting longer and prefer it more. I have been knitting since Christmas of 2006.
Do you spin? What type of spinning?I do not spin, but hope to learn some day.
What are your favorite yarns/fibers? What are your least favorite yarns/fibers?I like all fibers as long as they are soft. The only kinds of yarn I do not like are novelty yarns.
What are your favorite colors? What are your least favorite colors?My favorite colors are pink, blue, green, purple and recently some yellows. I don't really have a least favorite color. I like them all.
Are there any yarns/brands that you are dying to work with but never have?I am dying to work with Yarntini self striping or sKNITches self striping yarns, but they go out of stock too fast for me to get my hands on some!
What is/are your favorite types of projects to knit/crochet?Right now, I am obsessed with socks! I think they are so much fun to knit and go pretty fast. I also prefer to work with smaller needles.
What are you currently working on? Anything you plan to work on this summer?Right now I am working on three different pairs of socks. One pair is for father's day and another is for my future SIL's belated birthday gift.
What is your favorite FO? (Post a pic if you would like.)My favorite FO right now would have to be the socks I knit for my other future SIL's birthday. It hasn't come yet so I cannot post a picture. But here is my ravelry link to them: Kat's Monkeys (Don't look Kat, although I am not sure if you are able to anyway without logging in)
What is your oldest UFO?My oldest UFO would be the Viveka sweater I started a month after I learned how to knit. I got bored with all of the stockinette and still haven't even finished the back piece (the only piece I started).
Are there any techniques that you want to learn?I would love to do a steek one day! It is one of the only things I am worried about doing. But once I do, I am going to make this: Deep V Argyle Vest
Are you on Ravelry? What's your ID?My ravelry name is Bumble (now BumbleKnits)
Are you a sock knitter? What are your foot measurements?I love to knit socks. I rarely finish a pair for myself since I have super big feet (size 12.5 or 13 womens) Usually I knit socks that are 8.5-9 womens size since four people I knit socks for have that size.
Do you collect anything?YARN!! Lol. I also like cute keychains, but I don't think I collect anything that I don't really use. Maybe books, but if buy them to read them, does that count as collecting?
Do you have a yarn winder and/or swift?I have both. I love them!
Do you love sweets? What are your favorites?I do love sweets. My favorites are Milk Duds, dark chocolate, sour gummy worms, sweettarts, butterfingers, PEZ, and many more that I cannot think of at the moment.
What are your favorite scents?My favorite scent is cucumber melon, or pretty much anything with cucumber or melon.
Where do you keep your needles/hooks?I am very unorganized, so there are plenty scattered around my entire room...in my stash box, on my desk, in my purse even!
Do you have a wishlist (Amazon, Etsy, etc?)I have wishlist on Amazon and The Loopy Ewe
Having a birthday this summer?My birthday is Sept. 11. I say it's summer, most say it is fall.
Are you allergic to anything??? Please let your pal know!I am not allergic to anything I know of.
Do you spin? What type of spinning?I do not spin, but hope to learn some day.
What are your favorite yarns/fibers? What are your least favorite yarns/fibers?I like all fibers as long as they are soft. The only kinds of yarn I do not like are novelty yarns.
What are your favorite colors? What are your least favorite colors?My favorite colors are pink, blue, green, purple and recently some yellows. I don't really have a least favorite color. I like them all.
Are there any yarns/brands that you are dying to work with but never have?I am dying to work with Yarntini self striping or sKNITches self striping yarns, but they go out of stock too fast for me to get my hands on some!
What is/are your favorite types of projects to knit/crochet?Right now, I am obsessed with socks! I think they are so much fun to knit and go pretty fast. I also prefer to work with smaller needles.
What are you currently working on? Anything you plan to work on this summer?Right now I am working on three different pairs of socks. One pair is for father's day and another is for my future SIL's belated birthday gift.
What is your favorite FO? (Post a pic if you would like.)My favorite FO right now would have to be the socks I knit for my other future SIL's birthday. It hasn't come yet so I cannot post a picture. But here is my ravelry link to them: Kat's Monkeys (Don't look Kat, although I am not sure if you are able to anyway without logging in)
What is your oldest UFO?My oldest UFO would be the Viveka sweater I started a month after I learned how to knit. I got bored with all of the stockinette and still haven't even finished the back piece (the only piece I started).
