I am still alive but very VERY tired. Sean was sick and stayed home with me yesterday when I was supposed to be sleeping, whoops. Oh well!
Updates - I finished my first convention sock Sunday and started the second (pics tomorrow). I sold my American Flag afghan for $105 with an order for another that came with $100. The guy that is getting one made lost this year and the year before and I told him to just order one, it's cheaper - only $80. But he let me keep the whole $100. The downside - making another American flag afghan! SOOOO many stars. I did give him the option for something else - just in case. We'll see what he wants and I'll work it in before Christmas.
On the project list currently:
Convention sock (maybe going to my step-mom for Christmas) 1.25 done
Cliff's afghan 50% done I think, maybe less
Mom's sweater - I have some done but it's hiding just now and I dont remember how far I had gotten.
Brown socks - done done done. Yay!!!
Blue socks - 1 done, 1 to go. I forgot who they are for, but they will find a home
Is that it? I think so. After I finish this convention sock (pretty quickly) I'll start working on Mom's sweater during lunch again and Cliffy's afghan at night. Depending on my moods I'll work in Russ's commission. That's not so bad, eh? Sigh.
My dress looked great but a little, um, showy. I thought that the lace would fix the issue but no, not so much. Note to self - if I make another one it will have a higher neck!!! Pics when I get them.
That's it for now,lotsa work to do. Have a great day!

1 pair finished
I finished the brown/black socks (pretend there are 2 there... actual pic of 2 to come after Convention). 1 Christmas gift down, eleventy seven to go.
I have pressed the hem of my dress and it is all set and ready to go. Sean is stinky, brb. OK. I only hope that I can wear it since it looks like Hanna may be aimed at Jacksonville... not a good thing!
I leave tomorrow morning for Jax, today I visit my Mom and pack. Wish me luck and dry weather! I have no idea if I will be able to post while I am there, but if now, see ya in a week.

Showing Off
Today will be all about showing off. First is me showing off my dress:
Jake showing off his skating moves:
The sock I accidentally started while Jake was showing off:
And finally Sean showing off what he is learning from his big brother:
That is enough for today. Have a good one.

37 in a row. Hehehehe.
Because I'm a dorky fangirl with many loves in my life including my 2 favorite movies (Stand By Me and Clerks) I give you this:

I am an avid reader of Wil's blog (see that, we're on a first name basis!) and this was today's entry. I think that would look GREAT in my living room! I sent the link to my brother in law, maybe he could be in THAT show next year... and bring ME! Hosted by Kevin and Scott - what a cool thing that is!
Anyway, enough of the drooling, pointing, and going on. I worked a little on the quilt square and none on the afghan. I did get the bodice together as far as it will go and added the pleats to the skirt. Still to do: iron the pleats down, sew the 3 skirt parts together and put in the zipper. Once the dress is together I add the ribbon and viola! Dress. I did "try" the bodice on and I noticed that it is a little, ahem, showy. We'll see if I can do anything about that! I don't think there would be a gaudy enough necklace that would distract from THAT much cleavage.
Tonight is cosmic bowling. Travis is already sleeping, I was for a little but Jake and I both got hungry at the same time. Burrito for me and spaghetti o's for him. mmm crapfood. Back to bed until 9 or so, then around 11 we'll head over there. We'll see if Jake makes it or not.
We picked up the pics today, they look SO cute. My boys are adorable!
That's it for now, have a great weekend.

kidpics
Here are some of the pics we had taken.
Last night I cut out the pieces to my dress, and hopefully I'll have it done by the end of this "vacation". Sean woke up a few times last night, and for good at 5:45. It's only 8:48 and it's already been a long day! Not much on the agenda today, maybe go to my office to see Damarys for lunch, and a stop at Mamaw's office. Not sure yet. I will be sleeping when Sean sleeps though. I am so glad that Jake is big enough to keep himself occupied during naptime.
That's it from me.
