Good day

Waiting for the payment.

Hello!
Have you recently noticed that I have e-mailed you from your account?
Yes, this simply means that I have total access to your device.

For the last couple of months, I have been watching you.
Still wondering how is that possible? Well, you have been infected with malware originating from an adult website that you visited. You may not be familiar with this, but I will try explaining it to you.

With help of the Trojan Virus, I have complete access to a PC or any other device.
This simply means I can see you at any time I wish to on your screen by simply turning on your camera and microphone, without you even noticing it. In addition, I have also got access to your contacts list and all your correspondence.

You may be asking yourself, "But my PC has an active antivirus, how is this even possible? Why didn't I receive any notification?" Well, the answer is simple: my malware uses drivers, where I update the signatures every four hours, making it undetectable, and hence keeping your antivirus silent.

I have a video of you wanking on the left screen, and on the right screen - the video you were watching while masturbating.
Wondering how bad could this get? With just a single click of my mouse, this video can be sent to all your social networks, and e-mail contacts.
I can also share access to all your e-mail correspondence and messengers that you use.

All you have to do to prevent this from happening is - transfer bitcoins worth $1450 (USD) to my Bitcoin address (if you have no idea how to do this, you can open your browser and simply search: "Buy Bitcoin").

My bitcoin address (BTC Wallet) is: 1AbhXaiFxR52NDTrjAtzsdyhooVNoVchy1

After receiving a confirmation of your payment, I will delete the video right away, and that's it, you will never hear from me again.
You have 2 days (48 hours) to complete this transaction.
Once you open this e-mail, I will receive a notification, and my timer will start ticking.

Any attempt to file a complaint will not result in anything, since this e-mail cannot be traced back, same as my bitcoin id.
I have been working on this for a very long time by now; I do not give any chance for a mistake.

If, by any chance I find out that you have shared this message with anybody else, I will broadcast your video as mentioned above.

Important: kaml2000.blog@blogger.com You have 5 Pending incoming emails.

You have {5} undelivered mails clustered on your cloud due to mail storage capacity is full and awaiting approval from you to deliver messages and restore cloud storage. :

Be notified, this will make messages bounce back.:

Follow the instruction to resolve issue and release pending messages to inbox.

Greetings!

I have to share bad news with you.
Approximately few months ago I have gained access to your devices, which you use for internet browsing.
After that, I have started tracking your internet activities.

Here is the sequence of events:
Some time ago I have purchased access to email accounts from hackers (nowadays, it is quite simple to purchase such thing online).
Obviously, I have easily managed to log in to your email account (kaml2000.blog@blogger.com).

One week later, I have already installed Trojan virus to Operating Systems of all the devices that you use to access your email.
In fact, it was not really hard at all (since you were following the links from your inbox emails).
All ingenious is simple. =)

This software provides me with access to all the controllers of your devices (e.g., your microphone, video camera and keyboard).
I have downloaded all your information, data, photos, web browsing history to my servers.
I have access to all your messengers, social networks, emails, chat history and contacts list.
My virus continuously refreshes the signatures (it is driver-based), and hence remains invisible for antivirus software.

Likewise, I guess by now you understand why I have stayed undetected until this letter...

While gathering information about you, I have discovered that you are a big fan of adult websites.
You really love visiting porn websites and watching exciting videos, while enduring an enormous amount of pleasure.
Well, I have managed to record a number of your dirty scenes and montaged a few videos, which show the way you masturbate and reach orgasms.

If you have doubts, I can make a few clicks of my mouse and all your videos will be shared to your friends, colleagues and relatives.
I have also no issue at all to make them available for public access.
I guess, you really don't want that to happen, considering the specificity of the videos you like to watch, (you perfectly know what I mean) it will cause a true catastrophe for you.

Let's settle it this way:
You transfer $1550 USD to me (in bitcoin equivalent according to the exchange rate at the moment of funds transfer), and once the transfer is received, I will delete all this dirty stuff right away.
After that we will forget about each other. I also promise to deactivate and delete all the harmful software from your devices. Trust me, I keep my word.

This is a fair deal and the price is quite low, considering that I have been checking out your profile and traffic for some time by now.
In case, if you don't know how to purchase and transfer the bitcoins - you can use any modern search engine.

Here is my bitcoin wallet: 1665CsfFELrfiiubFZtLsGHGuqbUz1wXcz

You have less than 48 hours from the moment you opened this email (precisely 2 days).

Things you need to avoid from doing:
*Do not reply me (I have created this email inside your inbox and generated the return address).
*Do not try to contact police and other security services. In addition, forget about telling this to you friends. If I discover that (as you can see, it is really not so hard, considering that I control all your systems) - your video will be shared to public right away.
*Don't try to find me - it is absolutely pointless. All the cryptocurrency transactions are anonymous.
*Don't try to reinstall the OS on your devices or throw them away. It is pointless as well, since all the videos have already been saved at remote servers.

Things you don't need to worry about:
*That I won't be able to receive your funds transfer.
- Don't worry, I will see it right away, once you complete the transfer, since I continuously track all your activities (my trojan virus has got a remote-control feature, something like TeamViewer).
*That I will share your videos anyway after you complete the funds transfer.
- Trust me, I have no point to continue creating troubles in your life. If I really wanted that, I would do it long time ago!

Everything will be done in a fair manner!

One more thing... Don't get caught in similar kind of situations anymore in future!
My advice - keep changing all your passwords on a frequent basis

Hey!

As you can see, this is not a formal email, and unfortunately, it does not mean anything good for you.
BUT do not despair, it is not critical. I am going to explain to you everything right now.

I have access to your electronic devices, which are the part of the local network you regularly use.
I have been tracking your activity for the last few months.

How did that happen?
You visited some hacked adult websites with Exploit, and your device was exposed to my malicious software (I bought it in Darknet from specialists in this field).
This is a very complex software, operating as Trojan Horse. It updates regularly, and your antivirus can not detect it.
The program has a keylogger; it can turn your camera and microphone on and off, send files and provide access to your local network.

It took me some time to get access to the information from other devices, and as of now,
I have all your contacts with conversations, info about your locations, what you like, your favourite websites, etc.

Just recently, I came up with an awesome idea to create the video where you cum in one part of the screen, while the video was simultaneously playing on another screen. That was fun!

Rest assured that I can easily send this video to all your contacts with a couple clicks, and I assume that you would like to prevent this scenario.

With that in mind, here is my proposal:
Transfer the amount equivalent to 1650 USD to my Bitcoin wallet, and I will forget about the entire thing. I will also delete all data and videos permanently.

In my opinion, this is a somewhat modest price for my work.
If you don't know how to use Bitcoins, search it in Bing or Google 'how can I purchase Bitcoins' or other stuff like that.

My Bitcoin wallet: 1Cg1X5xS6wkLqPksNcsVzm41Mf24PsrE1

You have 55 hours to reply and you should also bear the following in mind:
It makes no sense to reply me - the address has been generated automatically.
It makes no sense to complain either, since the letter along with my Bitcoin wallet cannot be tracked.
Everything has been orchestrated precisely.

If I ever detect that you mentioned anything about this letter to anyone - the video will be immediately shared, and your contacts will be the first to receive it.
Following that, the video will be posted on the web!

Remember! Time tracking will start as soon as you open this email, I am monitoring this!

Good luck and take it easy! It was just bad luck, next time please be careful.

One becomes two!

Well its been almost 9 months since my last update...a very telling number.  What happens in 9 months?  Why this does...one becomes two!

 

Emma Marie joined our family on August 16th of this year.  Her big sister is absolutely in awe with her baby sister. Kisses and hugs are plentiful!

Here is a smiling Miss Emma:

And a public service announcement for all crafters with children...be careful when your kids get really silent....your one on going project becomes a tangled mess lol!

Happy Crafting!

Catching Up!

Time always seems to get away from me!  I finally found the time to update my blog as I realized that there was something in the background causing the page to re-direct.  Never could figure out what it was exactly so I updated the whole background and said good bye to the pink that I had since the first day of setting this up.  Farewell....you won't exactly be missed by me! :-)

So Madison is now 10 months old.  She is a smiling crazy happy little bundle of energy and sunshine. 

I've spent some time the past few months working on Maddie's Felt Christmas Stocking...still not completed...hopefully in time for next year!  I never realized how intricate and how much work goes into these things!    I made Maddie and Easter Bunny hat and since then nothing.  Bought a sock monkey kit which is next up on the list!

Happy Crafting to everyone!

Time flies by....

Let's see here.  Last blog post I had been married for a few months and it was 15 months ago.  Fast forward and has life changed!

 

We welcomed Madison Lynn into our lives on March 9th. She was 8 lbs 3 Oz and 19.5 inches long!

Life has been crazy busy trying to adjust the past 2 weeks but a great adventure into parenthood!  Sleep is a thing of the past as someone has her days and nights switched around slightly. 

 

After 3 days in the hospital we were released to come home, only to be sent back to the hospital the next day due to a Jaundice flare up to dangerously high levels.  She spent 2 days under the lights and her levels have come down to a manageable level.  We continue to monitor to ensure they stay at safe levels.

 

Beau has adjusted great to being a "big brother" and is already super protective of her and wanting to constantly check her out to make sure she is okay.

 

Here are a few pictures from our first week at home!

 

 

 

 

The Christmas Table

I must admit.  I have become addicted to Pinterest.  I have found some amazing inspiration and ideas on there.  The most recent helped me put together my table centerpiece for Christmas.

Last year I was gifted a gorgeous Christmas centerpiece to use.  With how big my table is though there was something missing.  Off to Pinterest I went!

 

I found a cute idea to take wine glasses,  fill with ornaments and top with a votive.  Voila!

I do not like the idea of having votive candles out solo so I switched it up.  I used tea lights in cute red containers I picked up in Europe and instead of ornaments I used glitter balls of varying sizes and jingle bells...this tied in nicely with our Christmas Party called Jingle Balls.

Here is the finished table which brought joy all season long!

We Tied the Knot!

Well we did it. The day was gorgeous and everything turned out beautifully!  The honeymoon in Mexico was rainy but a nice escape. 

 

Since getting back it had been a rush to get the house organized room by room.  The craft room is on the list with its plethora of yarn and books which need to be weeded out.  Will give y'all first dibs on the goods.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Countdown is on!

Oh goodness! Life has been absolutely nuts! Wedding preparations are in full swing...only 29 more days! This past year has gone by in the blink of an eye.

I have found time to work on a few stash busters...yarn foods, dish cloths and stroll working every now and then on the french doily and the star afghan.  Hopefully once the wedding is done I will find more motivation!

Honeymoon is planned...we are heading to Mexico and an all inclusive Secrets resort....it will be nice to relax and destress from the wedding chaos.

Beauregard has finally stopped growing at 100 pounds. He is sassy and spunky and has a personality like no other!  We had his hips xrayed for displacia and everything came up good to excellent which is a HUGE relief. We are still considering breeding him...need to figure out the next steps for that process, as well a consider getting a second generation our just taking a stud fee. Not sure my house would survive two huge puppies living in it.

Sorry for bring silent for so long....promise to write more often...and post wedding pictures!

Tis a super sunday for a superbowl!

Watching the game with friends...made a Ravens - 49ers Superbowl Cake. Marble cake, buttercream frosting...yummy!

Crafting does continue...working on a hat along with a few other small projects and if course still working on Steve's stocking....might be done by next Christmas lol

Final class!

Finished with the beginners level if wilton classes...here is my final masterpiece!  Thinking about taking another course, but with a new job and the wedding I do not know where I can find the time!

November catch up

December already? Missed a few days, but that was mainly due to travel and crazy work schedules once again. Went back to michigan for thanksgiving and had a great time. Made a birthday cake for Steve's brother Sam who just turned 7. Did the wilton pan spiderman and it turned out awesome! 

Sharing as well my Thanksgiving Turkey Cupcakes and ntt Wilton class #3 cupcakes which had some issues due to the frosting I choose to make.

Crafting you ask? Worked on some snowflakes as well as more poinsetta coasters for my Mom.

Happy crafting everyone!

Wilton Decorting Class # 2

Well here it is!  Had the second Wilton Cake Class this past Wednesday.  We continued to learn new skills and iced a cake.  My design?  A Cupcake Cake!  It turned out super cute and had lots of compliments from everyone at work the next day - yay!

Went today back to JoAnns for a Cookie Blossom course with Steve and Zori who is visiting from Argentina.  Made Christmas Cookies for a Cookie Blossom - circles and gingerbread men which all turned out adorable!  Forgot to take pictures - oops!  Just picture perfect cookes and those were ours! lol

With Thanksgiving, we have an off week, but will be back the week after for our next lesson - cupcake decorating!  Fun!

Happy Crafting Everyone!

Tis the season!

Slowly starting to get out and organize my christmas decorations. With every box I open I find memories of my grandmothers. This box contained some of my Dept 59 houses...this one bought by my Grandma as a christmas present back in 2002 right before I moved to Belgium. Oh what memories these boxes contain....since I did not decorate last year inside, Steve has no idea what is in store lol

Baked my cake tonight for tomorrows decorating lesson....looking forward to it!

Happy Crafting!

Wilton Cake Class #1

I survived the first class...did fairly will if I say so myself lol  The class is small - only 3 people which is nice. Spent most of the class talking about different methods and tools, but at the end got to practice stars and decorating cookies....fun! I won a carrying caddy for all my tools....will be able to keep evening organized and in one place now!

I have a few pictures to share from week one. Excited for this wednesday as we will be decorating a cake and learning more techniques...will be good to see how much I progress each week through these classes!

Happy crafting!

Let them eat cake!

Well if you are going to let them eat cake, it might as well be decorated prettily right? So to make my cakes pretty I have signed up to take the Wilton Cake Decorating class number one at my local Jo Ann's!

The class starts tonight for 2 hours and then also for the next 3 Wednesdays! Super excited about making my cakes pretty! What fun!

Anyone taken these courses or have any advice to impart other than to practice practice practice?

Happy crafting...and decorating! :)

Christmas Lights and Stockings!

Spent the weekend back in Michigan helping my Dad put up Christmas lights. For those who do not know, my father fell off his roof back in April and has slowly been recovering. Knowing that he should not be on ladders and the roof again, we packed up the car and away we went. The dogs had great fun spending the weekend at my parents - lots of spoiling!

I also started work on my next project...a christmas stocking for Steve! Not sure if I will 1. Get it done by Christmas or 2. Ever get it done, but will have fun with it in the mean time!

Happy crafting!

Two for twins!

Finally finished both baby blankets! Only took 4 months lol One is done using caron simply soft, the other Bernat Baby Coordinates. Both are  granny squares with different color patterns and a simple shell border.

Hopefully they like them! We are going over tomorrow to see them so will try to take pictures then.

Have a great night everyone!

Weekend Update

I finally have both blankets finished!  Yay!  All that is left to do is weave in the final few ends on the second blanket and then run them through the washing machine to make sure they are all clean and ready to be used by the girls.  Can not wait to give them to them on Wednesday when we go over for dinner.

Had a Halloween Party last night that we went to, which made it a 2 am morning with a 6 am wakeup!  No idea why I woke up so early, but was wide awake and bushy-tailed all day long to the dismay of Steve who had 7 hours of sleep and was struggling all day long!

Off to bed - may everyone have a great crafty week!

Back to crocheting!

It seems strange to have been away from the crafting world and not keeping up on all the hot "you must make this" patterns.  What are they now?  Anyone made anything recently?

I still have on my list of things to do is cleaning out the yarn stash, crafting accessories and book library.  I know I have lots of knitting magazines where, lets be honest here, I will NEVER find the time nor patience to make any of the plethora of sweaters and socks that they contain.  Will keep you all updated on this one!

I do want to start using up some of my yarn stash that I am not going to get rid of - mainly my cotton - any great dishcloth patterns you have come across recently?  I have done many of the hot patterns in the past - ballband etc and am looking for something new to try!

Road trip crocheting...

On our way back from a week in Florida. Had a great time...did all the parks - Universal's and Disney's.  Been working on the second blanket for the twins...might actually get it done brigitte we get jones later today - yay!

Brought my snow flake materials with as well but so far none made...tis the season though! :)

Living Life.....Loving It!

Really? Nothing posted since February?? Wow! All I can say is that I have been so happy and so busy that blogging has been far far far from my mind! So to catch everyone up...Steve moved in with me beginning of March. The dogs have gotten along fabulously and so have Steve and I! We spent the summer bowling on a league together with 2 friends which was great. Then on August 4th, the direction of my life changed with one question to which the answer was Yes! So come September 14th of next year I will be marrying my best friend. Here is a picture of us taken last night at Steve's cousin's wedding.

Might get this blog back on its original craftiness track one of these days....just need to find the time to finish some of my on-going projects! Talk to you all soon!!

Date night...it's hockey time!

Hockey tonight with Steve for our date night this week. Came to see minor league hockey - chicago wolves vs grand rapids griffins...I'm cheering for g.r. since they are from michigan about 30 minutes from where I grew up.

Valentines yesterday was great..very low key - Steve cooked dinner for me at home. It was yummy!

I'm still working on the blanket...need to hurry since baby Alyssa is now a week old! :)

The dog's are getting along great. Beau is now about 80 lbs and a total lap dog lol

Have a wonderful week! Happy crafting!

Pizza making!

Had great fun last night making pizzas. We made our own dough, and then loaded up the toppings before throwing it all in the pizza oven! Both of our pizzas turned out great, and we had fun making them together! Can not wait until our next date night out!  Attached are pictures of our masterpieces!

Forgot to mention yesterday...I entered a cake into the office superbowl dessert contest and it won first place!  I made my grandparents lemonade cake...yummy! One of my favorite non-frosted cakes.

Have a wonderful wednesday!

Tuesdays are for pizza making!

Happy tuesday everyone! Tonight me and Steve are heading off to pizza making class! Signed up for a lesson in groupon...should be fun learning something new with him!

Things are going great between the two of us! Steve is officially moving in the end of the month when he can terminate his apartment lease. He and Lil' Bear haver been here now since new years without any issues. A smile is constantly on my face these days! :)

I am still working on the baby blanket. Finished 2 more squares last night...slow but steady! Need to think about what my next project is going to be!

Still have not organized the craft room and books...focusing on other areas of the house which need it more....i.e.last night I cleaned out the closet and dresser, getting rid of junk and garbage including 6 parties of old shoes...I told steve to hurry and throw them out before I changed my mind!

Have a wonderful tuesday everyone!

February already?

The year is flying by once again! Then again it usually does when one is happy and keeping busy!

Beau is keeping me busy, along with Steve's dog Lil'Bear...I will not say they are best buddies, but they are getting along...more so now then at the beginning!  Having 2 dogs makes me almost want a third one...will wait though...Lil'Bear is 14 now, so in a few years will most likely pass away...will consider getting another dog then!

Crafting right now consists of working on a baby blanket for a co worker who is expecting a little girl soon. making a simple squares blanket, 2 sets of basic squares and then a third set of squares with a star pattern on them...pattern from a ball band.

I leave you with 2 photos...one of the squares, and one of Beau! Happy February!

Winter Getaway!

Hello from the land of cheese...aka Wisconsin for all my non-us readers :) Came up for a long weekend with Steve you escape the winter blahs - at the Wilderness indoor water park. Had a great weekend so far - riding water rides and floating in tubes on a lazy river.

Spent the drive up working on a baby blanket for my co-worker Lorinda who is expecting a little girl. Steve made me promise to leave it in the car once we got here lol

Been thinking about getting rid of some of my stash of craft books - knit, crochet, needlepoint, cross-stitch etc...will let you all know once I sort them all out! :)

Beau is getting too be huge! At 5 months he is already 70 pounds! Will attach a recent photo - he is an amazing dog - great personality and super loving...also a guard dog...he has a stranger danger bark when someone he does not know is outside...does not bark at any of the neighbors though!

Happy 2012!!

What an exciting year 2011 was with lots of ups and downs! I started out 2011 with such happiness and expectation...only to have it all come crashing down on me in March. I honestly thought my heart was breaking and that happiness was not going to be mine.

I picked myself up, dusted myself off and made a decision to continue to live life for life itself. I made a bucket list of summer things to accomplish and made myself complete them all! That included making sand castles, running through the sprinklers, dancing in the rain and flyin a kite!

September saw me take my first flying lesson which was amazing! I so loved being up in the small airplane - it was like nothing else!

Then on Labor Day weekend I made a purchase which changed my life! Yes, Beauregard has changed my life for nothing but the better. My heart was full again of love and I had something wonderful in my life. He has been an amazing addition to my household. His personality is great and he is always so happy to see me. He's not a big fan yet of knitting or crocheting...he keeps trying to eat the yarn that is hanging between the project and ball!

During all of this time, I've started dating again and have met an amazing guy! He is super wonderful...he makes me laugh and smile, lets me torment him with "tickling experiments", takes care of me when I feel like my head is going to explode and is an all around nice guy! We will see how this relationship develops....am hoping for the best! :)

As for crafting! I've made some more bead items, and have finished some snowflakes and a few more of Mimi's Poinsetta Coasters for my Mom after she realized she did not have enough! I'm also making headway on my next Star Afghan....spent a few nights working on it on the couch.

Okay - time to let the boys out (I have Beau and Steve's dog Lil-Bear here this weekend}

More to come soon - I've missed blogging and my blogging friends!

The newest addition!

Labor day weekend brought about a rather large change to my household and my lifestyle! I welcomed into my life a 7 pound baby named Beauregard, or affectionately called Beau.



He is a 7 week old Bernese Mountain Dog, and is giving me a run for my money already. He is just a like a baby in that we have been getting up multiple times each night to let him go out to the bathroom.

He is already spoiled rotten...it seems he gets a new toy almost every day...I just can not resist bringing him home something new!

Summer living.....

I have decided that I am moving somewhere that is summer year round! Having an absolutely great one!

Progress made on the bucket list....over 75% done with it...need to expand it I think!

I have been working on decorating the house a little bit more...finding accent pieces - tables, mirrors, pictures. Am putting my full stamp on it and making it mine.

Have also been car shopping...deciding between a camaro and a mustang....i want a second car for the summer / in-town driving, so why not a fun one right?

Been cleaning out the craft room. Found some unfinished projects....working on those a little bit....hope to start focused on them so I can get them done!

Crochet you ask?

Sigh that is right...this is supposed to be a craft /crochet blog, and yet lately, that has been far from my life.

I did buy a new book of crochet food....will be working on those shortly.

I've also started back on that darn star afghan...reminds me someone what I was thinking on this thing! Lol

Made another bead necklace and earring set....future owner uncertain, picture to come!

Happy crafting!

The journey continues....

Everyday life continues to amaze me and change me in the process. 2 years ago I was starting to wrap up my life in Europe. I was already starting the packing process, saying good byes and looking forward to my journey back to the US and seeing what life had in store for me.

It's not been an easy 2 years.

As you know, I said farewell to the boyfriend of 3 years...emotionally difficult but what needed to happen for my own mental and physical health. Over the course of our relationship, I gained 60 pounds, mainly due to stress eating and drinking...its easier to keep a harmonious relationship when we are not stuck in the same apartment

I moved back to the US, and in that first year I lost 30 pounds, half of what I had gained.

I met Mike, and slowly went back into old habits when the relationship started to go downhill and he pulled away. I did not recognize it for what it was, but I gained back 8 of those lost pounds. I went back into focusing on an on-line gaming world.

Single now for 3 months, I have once again started to focus back on my health, and have lost those 8 pounds, plus another 7. I no longer play games on-line and my TV is rarely turned on.

I have another 30 still to lose. My focus is on health eating habits - no more skipping meals or eating junk food. With a focus on being more physically active - no more sitting on the couch at night watching TV.

The journey towards happiness continues....stay tuned....

Beading continues!

I continueto find time to bead...even if I rarely pick up my hooks and needles these days. Total lack of interest....I was in the middle of working on a set of play yarn food for the boyfriend mike's niece when he decided to split with me...since then no yarn at all....will start again I promise :)

Darling Vik is visiting from Buenos Aries...the necklace set pictures above will be returning with her to argentina as I gifted her the set. I hope she enjoys it!

No other news here...will be taking Vik shipping tomorrow...pictures to come!

So my summer is going to be filled once again with insane working hours.  Wanting to make sure I take some me time out of my schedule, I have decided to write a bucket list for the Summer of 2011 with everything that I want to do to make sure my mental sanity stays intact!

 

Here is the current list:

 

SUMMER 2011 BUCKET LIST

 

* Go to the Drive In Movies

* Go on a Picnic

* Watch the Sun rise over Lake Michigan

* Watch the Sun set over Lake Michigan

* Eat an Ice Cream Cone

* Drink a Glass of Wine on the Deck

* Take a Nap in the sun

* Swing on a Swingset

* Fingerpaint

* Run a 5 K race

* Go for a Midnight Slurpee run

* Build a sandcastle

* Bike ride up to Wisconsin

 

 

Additional suggestions gladly taken...leave a comment with what you think I should add to my summer list!

Blink...blink....

Well I am out from under the rock...okay...back from the work trips to Tampa FL and San Jose Costa Rica. Busy 2 weeks in my world, but I was able to get some crocheting done...amazing!

A friend of mine is a board member for a not-for profit organization that deals with homelessness for Chicago area women. They are having an event this week and SiSi asked me to make something for their auction. After thinking about it, I decided to make up some play yarn food, and this is what I created for the auction:




Fried Eggs and a Fruit and Veggie basket. There were also 2 cupcakes that missed the photo shoot.

I think the boyfriend gave a cheer when he saw that I was using up some of my yarn stash....we will not tell him about the additional 2 balls that I bought this week to make a felted purse! Ssshhhh! lol If I put it up in the yarn room he will never notice right?

Progress continutes on the new Star Afghan...pictures will be posted next time!

Have a great week every one!

Valentine's Day Already??

Sunday, February 13th...time approx 9:20 pm....26 hours and 40 minutes until the pain of yet another Valentine's Day is over with....can someone please tell me why no matter how hard I pray this day always seems to come?

I hinted to the boyfriend that I would have to work super long tomorrow as we were on vacation all last week and I am only in the office 2 days this week as I leave Tuesday on a business trip. His response...we'll work something out...I am not going to not see you for a week. I forgot to give him my usual "I hate Valentines Day" speech that I have given every other boyfriend....not sure why I did not...perhaps I was trying hard not to think about the upcoming day of doom.

Yep, Day of Doom. The stress and pressure of this one little day is enough to ruin relationships, marriages, friendships...you name it, it can be destroyed on this one day. This holiday puts WAY too many expectations on the other partner, and I do not want that kind of stress!

An example......The search for the perfect card:

Awww, this one is cute...oh god, its too cutesy hes going to think that I am an empty headed bimbo if I pick this card.

Okay, here is a humorous one....ha ha ha..that's funny....oh wait! He won't think that I am taking our relationship seriously if I give him this card!

Aha! This one says it all.....spending time together....finding the perfect guy.....ARGH!!!!! Now hes going to think that I am way into him.....what if hes not that much into me as well? He'll feel sorry for me....tell his friends that I am making a fool out of myself over him....no. no. no.

That's it. I won't give him a card..... but what if he gives me a card...I won't have one to give him.....he'll think that I am not interested in him.....AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!


And anyways, this can't be a good holiday......it brings out way too many of the deadly sins....

Wrath - How dare you forget to buy me a card and flowers?!?!?
Lust - Ooohh Baby!!!! You be looking gooooooooooood...I'm gonna get me some!
Greed - What else did you get me.....jewelry....perfume....chocolate???
Envy - Mary Jane's boyfriend got her a new necklace...I want to be her
Gluttony - That's it - only one more chocolate....well just one more......
Sloth - Yeah, I'll go get her a card.....maybe tomorrow (the result - see wrath)
Pride - I am the best girlfriend....no one is better than me....

Okay....I stretched it a bit on finding an example of Pride...but the others are all ones that happen!!

So join me folks on my mad dash for the hills as I try to avoid yet another appearance of this holiday that causes relationships to break down, single people to develop severe depression, marriages to falter, sins to appear and insanity to develop on the card aisles as people start talking to themselves and screaming as they quest for the perfect card!

(Psst - if you've been a follower of my blog for a while, you are not going crazy, the search for the perfect card and the seven sins are a repost from 2006...why re-write what is perfectly written right???)

New Year....New Resolutions

Tis a new year….and I am already breaking my resolutions!  Every year I make them with all the best intentions in the world…lose 5 pounds….ok 50 to be honest, craft more, blog more often and even stay in touch more with friends.  And then, every year I start to break them right away….at least I am consistent right?

 

Okay, I've not broken all of them….yet.  I stepped on the scale this morning, saw that I had gained 8 pounds over the past 6 weeks.  Darn trip to Belgium…WAY too much good food there…then add in all of the holiday eating…well it's no wonder I went backwards on the weight loss!  But at least I know where I am starting the year at and I know that I can lose those 8 pounds again…the other 42 might be more of a challenge…well….really the last 12 will be the challenge…lots of running in my future I think!

 

Blogging more…well this one is always my challenge.  Best intentions in the world aside, I just don't have the time to spend on the computer once I am out of work these days.  Okay…spend on the computer blogging that is.  I spend plenty of time on facebook which is how I am trying to stay better in touch with more friends…I can cyber stalk everyone to my hearts content.  What did we do before Facebook?  Oh, that's right, letters and the age old process of gossiping…so did you hear about so-and-so?

 

Crafting you ask?  That's right, this is a crafting blog!  I continue to work on a doily I started in Belgium…talk about procrastination right?  I actually am making progress on it though!  Over the holidays I made up some knitted Korknisses (Christmas Ornaments made from Wine Corks) and crocheted Snowflakes although I never did find the time to block the snowflakes!  I started finally the Star Afghan again for the Family Room in colors to match the couch.  I am also in the process of starting to make lots more yarn food.  Decided that I needed a collection for my house and that the boyfriend's niece will soon be old enough for her own collection of yarn food!

 

Pictures?  Right…ummm…will see what I can take the next few days and find some time over the weekend to post them up!

 

Happy New Year to all of you!

 

Kimberly

Sunday afternoon football

mike is at work today so I am sitting on the couch watching sunday football and working on some wips. First up that I actually finished is the attached granny square baby blankie.

Been working on this one for a while...would finish a round or two and then put it down for a few weeks. Finally devoted some time and got it finished. No recipient lined up for it yet...wait and see I guess!

Yay for the short week! Been a while without some days off with nothing big planned to take up the time. Will go to mike's parents for thanksgiving then relax at home the rest of the weekend....perhaps put up some christmas decorations!!

Hope that everyone had a great weekend!

Hello Fall!

I think my last post welcomed the summer months....so this one is welcoming fall and winter which I am sad to say is rapidly approaching!

 

Summer was so full of friends, family and that horrible four letter word called work which totally kicked my derriere this summer.  My hours were insane and I practically lived up in Canada half of June and July.  It has calmed down though which is a good thing!

 

I was able to work on some crafts this summer, did some beading, and then did some crocheting and knitting of yarn food for the youngest of the nieces.  Been working recently on a Cake Box for my niece Megan – she looked through my pattern books, pulled this one out and dropped heavy hints that this is what she wanted for her birthday.  Its not yet finished, but have a week to go so it will get done!  Mike (the new significant other) has to work tonight most likely, so I will have the couch to myself and plenty of time on my hands!

 

The house is slowly getting into shape.  Did do some smaller projects over the summer – got my office almost fully set up – need to get a chair for the desk as well as some additional light in there.  I will try to take some pictures so we can compare the before I moved in and the after I moved in.

 

Work is calling my name – will be in touch soon!!

Let the summer begin!!

Well it is finally June and my last few days of aloneness! Is aloneness even a word?? It is now!

On Thursday my room mate from College Ashley will arrive. We have our 10 years college class reunion this weekend. We will spend some time together before heading down to South Bend. No, not to the University of Notre Dame, but to Saint Mary's College - the all-female sister school of ND.

Then on Monday my super long house guest arrives! My friend Zory will be here starting Monday for 2 whole months! What great fun we will have together! She will be up here for work, and I have lots of work trips planned, but we will still have a wonderful time with each other!

The granny blanket continues to grow as I complete round after round. I think that I am about 5 rounds from the end...yay!

I also found some time to work on the Swifter Cover and that is almost finished as well! Hopefully I will find some inspiration and ambition this summer to create some smaller quick to finish items. My niece Abby has asked for more yarn food for her birthday, so I need to get busy with that one asap! I am thinking some bacon, cookies, tarts, potatoes, cherries, bananas, apples and some other veggies. *sigh* What a list! Anyone want to contribute? lol

Well, I must get some cleaning done around the house....I was sidetracked after work with a dinner date and then organizing the garage which now looks great.
