Treasure Chest
This is my treasure chest. It is made completely of ceder by the Amish people. I use it to hold all my knit and crochet notions and needles. It works perfect!
A New Car!
Yes I have done it, I have got a new car! It is in my name, the insurance is in my name, and everything! Here are pics!
It is a 2009 Toyota Corolla, Metallic Silver, with gray and wood grain interior.

Teaching Certification
I finally got it in the mail. I finally got my teaching license. It is for one year, in which I have to pass this blasted test that I missed by 3 points last time. I'll find out my second go round on the 14th and am nervous about it.

New Resident
Well I have a new resident in one of my apple trees. The tree is maybe 40 foot tall and as I was checking out the fruit that was growing, about 5 foot from the ground I saw something. I went inside, got my camera, stood back about 15 feet, zoomed in and snapped a pic.
This is a Mourning Dove sitting on her nest. I didn't get close enough to see if she had eggs since I don't want her to abandon them.

Fingerless gloves (Wristers)
Here they are finished, forgot to post them, I made two pairs, one for Squishy and one for her grandma.
Puff the Magic Dragon
Here is my latest project, a wee dragon that I think is adorable. My niece, Katie, wanted me to make her a dragon before she went back to Texas so I made one for her.

Horse Scarf Pattern
Remember this scarf? I have decided to post the pattern for it.
The following is the chart:
Basically you just follow the chart but doing it double sided is tricky.
Materials needed:
Size 8 (5.0 MM) knitting needles
1 Skein Red Heart Super Saver Burgundy
1 Skein Red Heart Super Saver Gold
(Or two colors of your choice)
CO 28 of both colors, making sure they alternate, Gold, Burgundy, Gold, burgundy
Row 1: K1, P1 (Making sure all Gold stitches are knit and all Burgundy is purl. All purl stitches come out as knit when you turn the project.)This row should start with a Burgundy.
Row 2, 3, 4, 5: Complete as Row 1 starting with the appropriate color that the row starts with
Row 6: Should start with Gold so follow the chart
Continue with chart, each row starts with a knit and ends with a purl. All odd numbered rows should start with Burgundy and all Even numbered rows should start Gold.
On the even rows the white spaces are Gold and dark spaces are burgundy
On the Odd rows the white spaces are Burgundy and dark spaces are Gold.
The pattern is knit long enough for an adult, which is about 5 foot long. To change the direction of the horse just start at the opposite end of the chart as you did when you started. If you want the horse running up the scarf, start with the bottom of the chart, if you want it running down the scarf, start at the top.
I always put five rows between each pattern then I made a checkerboard pattern at both ends and directly in the middle.
BE creative with it and if you have trouble just send me a message.

More Animals!
Yes I have gone crazy with crocheting animals. Here I have a teddy bear, a wiener dog, a puppy in a sweater, and a lady bug.
Now I am working on a pair of fingerless gloves or wristers, whichever you wish to call them. They are for Squishy, a 10 year old girl.

Dreams
Yes, here I go again with my dreams.. they are recurring.. the same dream but not the same. Its about relationships, different people, different places but the same thing happens in it.
I'm there, happy as a lark with whichever mate I have in the dream, then all of a sudden, nonchalantly, my mate decides its over, tells me to pack my stuff and leave so he can move his new mate in. Of course I have no place to go, I won't go back to the hell of a home I grew up in so in my dream days pass, my heart is broken as I pack things trying to figure out where I am going to go and he keeps asking if I'm ever going to leave but doesn't understand I have no place to go. The loneliness seeps into my soul ever so quickly.
I believe that I keep having these types of dreams because it is just verifying the fact of my first dream, that I am going to live the rest of my life alone, never to have a mate again.
