There’s something NEW calling your name…

Is it a finger phone?  Or a stew pot that adds it’s own ingredients and simmers them to perfection?

No, of course not!  I’m talking about the most perfect knitting loom for those who have every person they hold at least a teensy bit of affection for on their sock looming list this year!  Or for those who just want to be able to make a wonderfully extra fine gauge pair of fibery goodness socks for their darling sons and daughters, their hubbies and wives, and even their Aunt Theolas!

Introducing the beautiful Wonder Sock Loom by Decor Accents!  It can knit every size sock, from baby to XL men’s!  How innovative! 

I know… you need this, right?  Well, there are 2 ways to get one of these babies in your hot little sock loomin’ hands:

  1. You can win one for FREE!   🙂  Just go right here to the announcement of this wonderful new loom, and submit a comment…this will enter you into the drawing!  One thing, though: make sure to tell them that I sent you over there, because you can also get entries by referring loomies to the ground breaking news!  😉 
  2.  Of course, you don’t have to wait…you can always just pop on over to the Decor Accents site, and pick one up today! 

Go ahead…you owe it to yourself to check it out…it’s really a marvelous loom, that will save you valuable $$ and time, as you won’t be having to hunt down (or purchase) the right size loom for your next project…it’s all in one!

Here’s to warm tootsies around the globe!

Buggy Fun!

Posted on October 4, 2008 by gettinitpegged

I found a great way to procrastinate from doing my homework!  😉

But this little guy was so interesting that I had to call my girlies to meet him.   I was reading my book assignment when he whizzed by me in the back yard.  I wasn’t sure what he was at first, but then he was so pleased to introduce himself that he had no problem letting Emily pick him up.  We’ve always had a great affinity for Praying Mantisses…they’re just so cool!  He was actually cleaning himself like a cat while she was holding him!  Sometimes bugs can be really enthralling…

especially when there’s homework to get done, lol!  😉

Taxi Mama~

Posted on September 28, 2008 by gettinitpegged

I’ve been really quiet this week…

Not because I wanted to keep to myself…

Not because I didn’t have anything to say…

Really, the reason I’ve neglected my poor bloggy, is that I’ve taken up a new career this week…with the emphasis being on CAReer, lol!  As most of you know, my life has taken a dramatic change this fall, and it’s really began in force this week with the first day of college for both my eldest daughter, and me.  🙂  I knew this would be a significant disruption in our normal routine, but I what I didn’t realize was how much actual time I’d be spending sitting behind the wheel of my little PT, acting as Taxi Mama!  Talk about experiencing the gas crunch first hand!!!  😛

My new job as Floral Designer is also in full swing, and I’ve been flinging glitter hither and yon, creating…yep, already!…Christmas arrangements!  I walk around everywhere looking like I’ve just been sprinkled with pixie dust…which really isn’t a bad thing, lol.  I like a little sparkle in my life!  😉  Do you know how hard it is to get glitter off your skin, though?  The only way is to rinse it down the drain, and my schedule doesn’t allow for multiple shower days, lol.  But, on the job front, my previous position of Event Coordinator has not yet been filled…anybody interested???…and this causes me to feel the need to keep up with that job as well, as I really don’t want to see 4 years of careful handling be washed down the drain along with the glitter!  Crazy days!

I’ve have been able to fit a tiny bit of looming in…while waiting for traffic lights to turn, while sitting in the car in between classes, and during the lunch breaks that I  don’t actually have to jump and in the car with my “Taxi Mama” sign on top.  I’m working on a little hat to match the ‘lil Tykies!  I hope it turns out how I invision it.  So far it’s looking good, but if the measurements turn out to be a tad eskew, I’ll have to start again.  Oh, well…such is the life of the loomy adventurer, lol!

I hope your week has gone a tad bit smoother than mine has been, and here’s to wishing that next week is better for all!  😀 

Now, I’m off to do my homework…zoom, zoom, zoom!
