I'm BACK!!!  Sorry that I was MIA for a little bit, just had a rough go with things but I am back.  And boy have I been busy.  I just have to ask one thing Tia, how do you do it?  I knitted for the first time yesterday all day... I mean literally all day and today my little fingers were bruised and hurt so bad!  I guess I need to toughen up my hands before I try and tackle another one... or figure out what I am doing wrong so that I don't lose fingers in the process of being crafty.  I tell you what. OUCH.

For my first knitting project I decided to do a cowl like you.  Mom had sent me one in a little care package and I got so many compliments when I wore it out and about that I wanted another in my closet.  I have to say mine is a touch smaller than Mom's and it doesn't look quite as good but I did pretty darn good for my first go... what do you think.  See how it kinda rolls up... oh well.  No one will notice right? (wink wink)  I have a little of the yarn left over so I am thinking that maybe I could knit a matching one for little Quinnie Poo.

I also have to tell you that I am back on the Weight Watchers band wagon.  I have spoiled myself with daily desserts and well it has started to add up.  I found this awesome recipe in one of my books and it was delicious!  I have been able to keep snacking and not feel to guilty about it.  You've got to try it.  Take 1 box of angel food cake mix, and 1 can of light blueberry pie filling (we couldn't find blueberry out here in nowhere land so we used light cherry) mix the two ingredients together (don't add anything else).  Spread into an ungreased 9X13 pan and bake at 350 degrees for 30 min.  YUMMO.  and SO EASY PEASY.
Well that's been my life in a nutshell for the past week.  Not to exciting.  Tomorrow is library night any book suggestions?

LOVED Little One's party.  You are such a fun mommy.  I can't wait to try cake in a jar.  AMAZING.  Can't wait to hear what you have been up to this weekend.  Love you!
