BUSY, BUSY, BUSY

Gosh I don't know where the time goes. I just wanted to let you all know that I am still here but extremely busy. The holidays were hectic and crazy. My dad was in and out of the hospital but as of yesterday he got a clean bill of health and the doctor doesn't want to see him for 6 mos. We are working on moving them back to the east coast where most of our family are living. As it stands right now they will fly out early April as long as dad is doing ok.
As for knitting...last Sunday I spent my day organizing my new and old stash. I pulled out projects long forgotten and made them a priority. I figure I will get a jump start on my next year holidays. I made booga bags for all my grandaughters for Christmas this year and now I have orders for ones for their mothers. Oh, and also from my sister. I made her a pair of socks from Knit pics Memories...one of my favorite yarns and now I don't see them in their book. Just when you get to like something it disappears. Go figure. I have three pair of socks finished since Christmas and not sure who they will go to yet. I made two pair with Panda yarn and just love them. I am thinking my mother will get one pair and maybe my aunt the other. My other socks were from austermen step....not sure who will get these. I am now working on a pair of austermen step for my husband.
I also spent part of Sunday working on my quilt stash. I have two quilts that need to be backed and I organized my material so that I can start working on quilts for Christmas this year. I try to make one quilt each Christmas for one of my grandchildren. I believe this year the quilt will be for one of my grandsons.
My oldest grandaughter is also getting married this spring and I have to plan on what to do.....My mom does doilies and she asked her to make one for each table. They are so gorgeous. I guess she will have some sort of game and who ever wins at that table gets to keep the doily.
Well, I should get moving here as I have to take my shower and head off to work. Work...oh and I forgot to tell you we are just so busy and short handed that I am dog tired when I get home. I believe we have another person who will be leaving, not sure if it is a good thing or not yet. We did hire a gentlemen who is working out wonderful and takes alot of my load of of me. I usually knit at lunchtime and of course everyone has to check it out. Two of the fellas I work with want fingerless gloves....so maybe that will be my next project.
