xmas preview

Thought I would post a couple spoilers... yeah no i just wanted to take another crack at posting pics :)Sneak peak at a certain something I made for someone blonde

A Poppy Bob special :)


a new pattern that I'm hoping turns out like I want otherwise I'm going to owe a certain crochet buddy a new handmade item



Still in the works obviously... I'm hoping it will get done in time for Poppy Bob to take it home....

That's all of the handmade goods for now... I really wanted to do more but there has not been enough time... you may see a few things pop up here before the big day but only if i have time...

Work Work Work Pt2

Finals are here! I'm excited and stressed out at the exact same time... I made it and can focus on other things like christmas and not caring about school... but life would make sure that I didn't have a moments rest... I've just managed to replace one workload of worries with another... to demonstrate let me give you a glimpse of my xmas project list....
cabled gloves
knitted hat
tardis gloves
cabled hat
tiny puppy
knitted monkey
socks

The list progresses from there... and actually it is really nice cause the knitting doesn't stress me out the due date does... I wish I had known about some of this stuff a couple months back because then it would all be done by now... but in true beka form I couldn't make up my own mind about what i wanted to do when so here i am pretending that i've got it all under control... what i wouldn't give for a set of magical elves to do my bidding....

To a different subject... I joined a knitting group here... bunch of ladies that meet at aromas... and although they are all very very nice i'm starting to get the feeling that I am one of the more normal among them.... which is really strange given my scifi/comic book streak... although it could be that they are very normal and i'm just not used to that kind of person? I don't know whatever it is i'm a little baffled... oh and they are all obsessed with pintrest... i mean don't get me wrong pintrest is nice for inspiration but its very annoying otherwise because people do not consistently link their pics to the original pattern/instructions... but i'm starting to wonder if it is a generational thing cause even though i'm not that much younger than some of these women you would think they never blog surfed or even tried googling some of this stuff...

Work Work Work

Lately I've felt like a need to find a hole to crawl in to shield me from the world... there is so much stress with school and life that sometimes i don't know how to tune it out... but I have managed to keep up with almost everything and I'm quickly approaching the time of year I have been dreading since August... signing up for next semester... I don't want to think about next semester... I don't even want to live in next semester... the good news is that I will only be taking three to four classes next semester (plus a lab) and they all land on MWF.... the bad news is I'm taking classes next semester and they make for some long days on Mon and Wed.... life seemed so much simpler when I worked retail... I went to work... I did the job... I collected a paycheck... but I know I need to finish this so off I go to register for classes that will cause me more stress next year....

On a different note... my bday is coming... I'm turning 25 and somehow that doesn't really bother me... see it's not the numbers that bother me... it's the feeling like life is passing me by and i'm missing all the best parts... I'm 25 and I haven't graduated school not even once... I have a husband who is the most amazing man I've ever met but have still managed to fail and giving him a family.... oh and I've got this weird body that sometimes decides it doesn't want to cooperate.... But I know my life is good... it's hard work but it's a good life

ok done being nostalgic... life is good and school is hard that's the bottom line... the rest just falls in all over the board... but maybe someday i'll get better at juggling it all lol

School Daze

I'm back in school... and I'm exhausted all the time... i mean literally I go to class I come home and all I want to do is sleep.... but I can't sleep because I have homework and housework that is just piling up all around me.... although it probably does not help that I get up at the crack of dawn now when Joel gets up.... I can't really help it I have tried sleeping in but all I do is toss and turn until I finally get up... so I have given up and now I just get out of bed and do what I can until I can go to school...
Oh and I've gone back to drinking coffee every day... which isn't quite as hard on my stomach as I thought it would be... although I am improvising an espresso at the moment to make my own lattes... I am looking into an actual espresso machine but it will have to wait until my spare change isn't required for important things...
I am enjoying school and my classes and seeing people on a regular basis I am just.... so tired... all around tired thus the complaining.... oh well I carry on...

school

School stinks... just when I thought it couldn't get more complicated it did... see my CLEP scores got send but only 2/3 of them... yay so I get to spend my afternoon trying to fix their stuff... again... grrr... good thing I'm already hiding out in my house...

Hubby update

I've been running on a hormone high for about three days so this may be a bit more gush than I normally do but here goes... So Joel started his job on monday and by tuesday he came home in a suit with his badge holder and I couldn't have been more proud when he walked in that door he looked so professional and attractive (despite the fact that his suit is a little too big lol) I just couldn't believe that The Lord had blessed me with such a man.... but that's beside the point... like I said... hormone high... anyways Joel seems to be enjoying his job... he leaves early in the morning and comes back before 5pm which is nice for me... now if we could just start adding a paycheck to that equation and this would be amazing lol... I got registered for classes last week but so far have only been able to get two.... grr but I've got a couple irons in the fire that should get me at least two more... and i'm hoping to get an override from whoever is teaching physiology of exercise.... but we will see... so I guess pray for Joel to continue well in his job... and pray that I can get more classes... life... yay

House! Part 2

We have a house! for real this time there is a house and it is all ours... or so says the signed paperwork... the apartment is beautiful... I'll add pics when I get all my stuff moved in... It has two bedrooms, a perfect kitchen with all new appliances, a giant living space, two giant bathrooms, and a dining room, plus a full sized washer and dryer... am I in heaven? why yes I am... One downside to everything... we have to give the pets away... but the Lord seems to be providing for that... I have an incredible woman that emailed me about Alice the bunny yesterday... she supposedly has a garden with a play area for her to run around in so I will probably go see for myself today or tomorrow... Justin Maynard is helping us move all of our stuff which is amazing of him... and we plan to have it at least most moved by today or monday... but for now i'm starving so i'm off to my local coffee shop (which is INCREDIBLE by the way) :)
