I had to share this: Girl just told me her "boobie bones"** hurt.
**I'm going to guess this means her rib cage.
I had a good laugh.

Just one or two and I'll be done.
One or two of these:
What feels like the millionth care package I've sent out
My husband's birthday is Monday--he'll be 26. We've only spent one birthday of his together. But, he got brownies sent to him. His birthday presents stayed here in Engand with me because he will be home sometime next month. Thank the gods above.
My mom's birthday was the 3rd and this is what she got:
Stats as follow...
Pattern-Funky Sock Monkey from Blue Moon Fiber Arts
Yarn: Handspun
Needles: 3 US
Yea I failed to read the pattern and didn't double the yarn on his legs and arms, hence the reason why you can see a little of the stuffing. I also kept stuffing his mouth and no matter how much I stuffed, his mouth didn't pucker out fully. Mom still likes him though. She just glassed in her porch on the beach house and she said that he will be hanging out in a hammock there.
On the knitting front, I am still working on my pink jaywalkers and my green and purple socks. I started a new pair with this new handspun (one of my new favorites):
That is 420 yards of a 3ply sock weight yarn. I finished up early, early, early Thursday morning. By Thursday night, I was at the knitting circle casting on. I've found out that the craft store on base has a woman there that holds a knitting circle once a month at the store. I went Thursday. It was soo great to be able to go out and talk to someone who had the same interests as me, ya know? But she is pregnant and says that December will probaby be the last meeting. That stinks. We got here in March and the faces I see day in and out are my dog's and daughters. Its getting to the point where my daughter is getting a little snarky and I choose not to see her face at times. Speaking of DD, I need to get her to stop messing with my wheel...

A birthday present to me...
finished socks!!
Stats:
Pattern-Monkey by Cookie A.
Needles: 2(US) Inox DPN's
Yarn: Dream in Color Smooshy and 'Deep Seaflower' colorway
Mods: There are only 5 repeats on the leg instead of six.
I took this picture yesterday to show everyone what my wpi's are. My green and purple socks have been languishing since March!! That is embarrassing.
My other birthday presents include a Namaste bag, some fiber, these:
...and the "Meet the Robinson's" DVD from my girl. My girl made a big deal on going out today and getting me a present depsite my insisting that she didn't need to get me anything. But she was persitant. We went to the BX on Lakenheath to get my present and she chose what she wanted for me. But, the DVD there was in blue ray and our VCR isn't blue ray capable and Hubby's PS3 is in a box and I don't know how to set it up. After I was finally able to get her to understand that we couldn't get a blue ray disc right now she got really upset.
this was what she wanted to get me and nothing else. So we went to the BXtra on Mildenhall and hopes of my birthday present. We looked around and couldn't see it so I suggested going around and looking for a vase for my overly huge boquet that J sent me and we'd come back after she though of things for a while. So we did and came back and she still couldn't find it. Right when we were about to leave I spotted it, led her to it and told her I'd turn around and she hid it behind her back. Isn't she cute? I know I don't talk about my little lady that often because I want to keep our lives private but she is such a Momma pleaser.
But thank you every one who has wished me a happy birthday today!

More reasons to finish
I am offically being a good knitter and finishing my hoodie. I am currently knitting the hoodie. All that is left is seaming and sewing in the sleeves, and the button bands. We have a cold front coming through right now and it's the reason why I am pushing through to finish this up once and for all. Last week I ordered one of Cookie A's designs, stricken. I am excited to cast on, but only after I finish my hoodie. I am using some stashed Dream in Color smooshy. Should be nice, eh? I need to finish up my monkeys and my duet socks as well. All in good time. Spinning is going nicely. I have been trying to work on it a little bit each night after the Girl and Dog go to bed. I'm thinking that all of my wonky hand spun could become a granny square lap blanket. I really don't care about how it will be wonky looking and all, it'll be a reminder of what happened when I first learned to spin. I have had a thing for blankets lately, well wanting to knit them anyways. The hubs bought me the Great American Aran pattern booklet. Last night he let me spend 155 USD on the yarn for it. Well it wasn't just yarn, there was a jumbo bobbin and half a pound of wool to spin. But I got some cascade 220 from webs because it was on sale in a deep heathery blue. It's going to be gorgeous. I am supposed to be on a yarn diet but the yarn is on sale and hubs said buy it now while it's on sale. I am so spoiled, I know. And I want to die some of my fisherman's wool with the acid dyes I have and make an EZ blanket from the Knitters Almanac. And while we are still on the subject of blankets I have been using up my sock left overs for THE blankie from Shelly Kang. I have alot of projects on the needles, don't I?
