Now that Kayin's birthday was more than 6 weeks ago, and that was my last post, I figured I should get on here and give an update.
School-
Things have been crazy the last few weeks. We had Spring Break at the end of March and things went smoothly. We didn't do anything big, but we had fun playing and sleeping in. Eli got sick at the end of the break with the flu and I got sick a couple of days after, so I missed the week of school. Then he got a horrible head cold, so I had to miss a day of school the next week because he couldn't go to the sitter. That got me behind in my classes so I started scrambling to get caught up because we're getting to the end of the semester and I HAVE to keep my grades up. I feel pretty good about how I've done getting caught up, so things should be good now.
Knitting-
On the knitting front, GOOD NEWS! I found the cord to my camera, so I'll be adding pictures to my next post that will be dedicated just to that. As far as what I've been working on, I have a double knit bag that I designed that I'm getting close to being finished with. Now I have to find some handles for it and I have an idea where I want to order them from. I received an e-mail that was talking about this great company, Homestead Heirlooms and they make the most beautiful handles. In my normal knitting world I would have finished this bag weeks ago, but I haven't had a lot of knitting time, so I've only been getting a few rows each week. After the semester is over in a couple weeks I'll have more time to knit. I just started my first shawl too. I'm having a lot of fun making it and the color is beautiful. I'll add that to my knit picture post too.
Clogging-
I took Ananzi to her first clogging competition on the 9th of April and she did GREAT! She went out there and performed like she'd done it a million times. The videos I took are on YouTube on the Ultimate Clogging channel. You can watch the videos if you click here. She is the one in the blue dress. While we were there I got the bug to compete, so I came home and started learning some of the hard solos and I will be performing two of them for the competition we have coming up next weekend. On top of those, I have a duet that I will be doing with the other adult dancer at the studio (he’s a whopping 20 years old!) I’ve been having so much fun learning these dances and I can’t wait until next week!
That’s pretty much what’s been going on for the last few weeks. I have to get ready for a meeting now, but when I have some time tonight after the kids go to bed I will get back on here and add my knitting pictures.
