Knit Devotion

So we finally are out from under Fay (the tropical storm) that probably did more damage if it had been an actual Hurricane. Rain for 4 1/2 days!!! Stuck inside with your 2 kids for 4 1/2 days!!!! Can you say AAAAHHHHHH!!!!! If school wasn’t open today, I was going to take them there any way. You might think I would have sewn or knitted a lot. Oh no! The kids were driving us nuts! We made it through….no injuries. Now I know why people have irritable bowel syndrome!

I had done some sewing before the rain started and thought I could get some pics taken before the storm hit.
That didn’t happen either. Finally the sun comes out and pics are taken. Here’s my newest creations. I have a lunch box made out of this print. It’s so fun. I had to make a shirt out of it. I found some denim stripe just perfect for pants. If you notice the bottom of the pants are raveled to look like pirate pants. Hence the swords. Yes, we had to buy two swords so you can protect yourself when he comes after you wanting to play “Captain Jack Sparrow”. Everyone needs some swashbuckling at sometime or another…..right? I can’t wait till he’s able to scuba dive and we can take him to see some old ships on the bottom of the ocean. What better way to understand the true meaning of “walk the plank”. AAARRRGGGHHHH! Ok, I probably don’t make the best pirate but my son likes it!
I bought this owl print on one of my yahoo groups and have fallen in love with it. It’s owls, kind of like amigurumi. I though a hoodie would be perfect out of it. I put a pocket on the front and made it short sleeve so a long sleeve shirt could be worn under it for more warmth if needed. The skirt is two skirts sewn into one waist band. It looks cute on her. I hope someone else likes it as much as I do and buys it!!!! It would make a cool Halloween time shirt.

My husband has informed me that we have another storm (this time a hurricane) heading our way. Well at least now they are predicting it to come this way. One thing I have learned from living a short time in FL (13 years) They never get the weather right. Should be here Thursday but probably later. Hey guess what… more days home from school!!!! Yeah, I just can’t wait! Someone call the “funny farm” and tell them to hold a bed for me…..Do you think they will allow me to have knitting needles there?

Later.
