I need what??!!

I promise I will give you an knitting/birthday weekend update in the next day or so - but I just had to do what everyone else in blog land is doing...... What does Genia need? Directions, go to Google, type your first name in along with the word needs, make sure you put it in quotes! ENTER

Well.....

1) Genia Needs your Help. I want you to buy me a Gift membership because... (give me some time, I will think of something!)
2) Genia needs a log on account for the desktop. Also she needs an employee Number in FME (what?)
3) Genia needs lorazepam - This one is kind of creepy - (an antianxiety drug) I used to be on this stuff, took myself off of it along with Paxil. Bad stuff for you! I rather work through these issues than deal with they way I felt on these drugs.

And what I think is the funniest one.......

4) Genia needs to find a woman with a Harley? *snicker* (actually, I already have a friend, who is a woman, and has a Harley!)

Completed Bag

Finished the charm bag about a week ago, I really like the way it turned out. Fiber details are on an earlier post. I gave it to my oldest DD last Saturday - she just loved it! She can hardly wait for it to stop raining here so she can show it off. I so miss the sun...but by reading a lot of blogs lately - everyone seems to be under the rain gods spell. *sigh*

Anyway - here are a couple of pictures of the bag for your viewing enjoyment.


I just love the fuzzy edging and the pink
lining - this bag so matches her personality!

It really didn't take very long to make and I plan on making another one for me, (without the fuzz) very soon. I think I will use a different color - just need to decide. My favorite colors are black, purple, and pink. Seems a lot of my project center around these colors - I need to think out of the box here!
I want to try my hand at felting next - I purchased several hanks of 100% wool at the Va Fall Fiber Festival and am itching to use it! I was going to start it last night, but you know how that goes! I thought I could update my blog and then get to knitting...blogger was not being user friendly last night, gave up and then I was just to tired to start a new project. Tonight I will start working on it.

Well. I need to get ready for work - yippee.....(NOT!) Stress, stress, and more stress. As the days count down to my layoff - things there are, well....stressful! I have gone from a team of 30 down to 2, plus me. mind you, the work of 30 is still there. My laugh of the week so far -- "you need to pick up the pace" Ummm, ok, like there are 5 of you in NY working on this project in one system - there are well, 2 of us working on 2 systems here - sorry but, we cannot match your production folks! And so, I knit.......

Well....this about sums it up! LOL

I kind of knew this already! I haven't been knitting that long - looks like I have lots yet to learn! LOL But - I do know a knit from a purl stitch! I am amused though.


Knitting Novice
You appear to be a Knitting Novice.You might be just taking up the hobby and still
feel a bit intimidated by the whole process.
You might not know a purl from a knit stitch
and those cryptic codes that others call
"patterns" seem pretty intimidating,
but it's something you've been meaning to learn
and you are having fun trying.http://marniemaclean.com/
