Ahh the joys of having a 17 yr old....

2010-04-28T06:44:00.002-05:00

When will it get easier? My 17 made it where I had to call the police on him last night for getting violent in the house... Then tried to tell the police I was going to hit him so he did what he did...

I don't spank my kids, it doesn't work and with him, taking things away does hurt him. I had to take his license away and he can't drive to the prom this weekend, Not like he was going with someone mind you, but I can't support someone who goes off the deep end and then allow him the fun.. Now if my ex wants to drive him since it is his weekend... he can, just not my oldest as I have his license to drive in VA...

I give a lot to my kids and then he slaps me in the face with his crap... Probably stuff my ex has been feeding to him.. Yeah I have an ex who tries to mentally abuse me to this day and I won't let that happen ever again.

So am dealing with a smart unruly teen right now and it just sucks that he doesn't realize that I am trying to protect him and his little brother....

Am still here...

2009-12-16T14:52:00.002-05:00

Hi all, am still here, life has had some bumps and well I have been off of here but have been visiting ravelry though... I just started knitting again so I may be starting some new designs soon...

Hope this holiday season finds everyone well and happy...

I am doing better than usual this time of year... It is always a hard time since the passing of my mom on xmas eve, 2000...

back on Ravelry

2009-03-20T19:15:00.002-05:00

I just got the word that I have been accepted back at Ravelry. Thanks all and glad to be back... I hope everything get straightened out for anyone else that is still banned and all..

Now to relax since I have had a very volatile couple of weeks here on the homefront as well...

Ravelry...

2009-03-15T09:00:00.002-05:00

Well, somehow something happened over the weekend to cause some chaos and banning of members of Ravelry a knitting community... What we did is still up in the air as they don't tell us a thing and or get a forbidden page to see when you look at Ravelry.

If I am totally banned from Ravelry, my patterns will be taken off of that site, my everything will be gone... If they think that this is fair to ban people without explaination, I don't think they know what they are doing.

Ravelry has designers, Advertisers, and people who help or getting help from others, be it in pattern testing, getting pattern testers, and overall help with situations we are in...

So if you look into joining Ravelry, please be mindful that if you don't believe what they believe than you don't belong.

I feel that several people's freedom of speech and freedom of the USA is at stake, they only want you to believe all the lies that are being spread, not the truth that because someone doesn't have the same belief's as you that they are wrong... I belong to NASCAR, there are so many disputes on who you like and dislike with all of the many drivers out there that this is really childish to go with a group of people who have nothing better to do than to create a problem for the TPTB at Ravelry that maybe TPTB at Ravelry should drop them like a hot potato as it makes them look really bad to do this to people who just have a differening opinion of the POTUS...

Rain please stop!!!! need an ark

2008-07-05T17:09:00.004-05:00

Rain has been going on non stop for over an hour, lightening has messed up my neighbor's phone line, and I took a picture out my front porch area to the flooding in my other neighbor's yards... My yard is fine, but they are lower on the land than I....

Take a look... I am on the phone with the verizon company as my neighbor doens't have phone since the lightening and I thought mine got fried...

Was out and saw this on our fence

2008-06-13T22:02:00.003-05:00

My son says it is a moth.. I thought it was a butterfly... Anyone know? I hope it wasn't a bad flying bug what ever it was...

Wow a car chase in my neighborhood!

2008-04-21T10:54:00.001-05:00

Guess what happened last night in my sleepy neighborhood….We had a car chase where the suspect’s car landed in my 5 foot ditch…at approx.~ 11:50am I heard the dogs sound weird.. My hubby was almost home at the time, which after seeing the car, I asked hubby where he was, thankfully he was still driving and was 15 minutes away…

Well about 3-7 miles down the road a car was clocked 16 over the speed limit, and when the state trooper put on his lights, the car started speeding away, miles over 100 at a time… and the dumbass driver turned down our main subdivision road and swerved into a couple of ditches and then went thru another’s driveway, flew around some trees in my neighbor’s back yard, hit their smaller ditch, went airborne into my 5 ft ditch…and the trooper tried to stop but slid into the first ditch… and what my neighbor’s thought was gun fire was the creaking of the doors as they got out of their vehicles…the state trooper had to kick his door to get out but they did not get the suspects right away…I hope to hear they got them soon… But they ran right past my door and kids rooms to the woods… I only saw the second officer on scene… I didn’t realize something happened until I realized the siren was not on my TV.. I was watching a show that did have some sirens on it… I ran to look thru and saw blue lights flashing in my kitchen window… and it freaked me out as hubby wasn’t home and I thought it was his car…Thank god it wasn’t…

So I got a wakeup about the nice 5 foot ditches, They can stop the car chase, but went to foot race, but at least they couldn’t go hurting anyone with the car… The dumbass suspects, left their cell phone(s) in the car and the cops had several leads just on that alone, and the car…

My ditch is just fine, just no grass there, nothing to worry me about… But I know the neighbor’s that really care about me and my safety though…The car with the lights on is the suspect car, the behind the open driver’s door is the cop car stuck in my neighbor’s ditch.. this was taken out of my garage…

Welcome Spring!

2008-04-16T13:23:00.002-05:00

It is finally starting to look like spring. The grass is growing, things are turning green and well the trees have leaves now.

Working on the nascar squares and getting some new ones done as well.

Off to enjoy some peaceful knitting and crochet before the kids get home from school.

Would you be a cool parent?

2008-02-12T09:03:00.000-05:00

You Will Be a Cool Parent

You seem to naturally know a lot about parenting, and you know what kids need.
You can tell when it's time to let kids off the hook, and when it's time to lay down the law.
While your parenting is modern and hip, it's not over the top.
You know that there's nothing cool about a parent who acts like a teenager... or a drill sergeant!

Would You Be a Cool Parent?

What planet are you from?

2008-02-12T09:01:00.001-05:00

You Are From Neptune

You are dreamy and mystical, with a natural psychic ability.
You love music, poetry, dance, and (most of all) the open sea.
Your soul is filled with possibilities, and your heart overflows with compassion.
You can be in a room full of friendly people and feel all alone.
If you don't get carried away with one idea, your spiritual nature will see you through anything.

What Planet Are You From?

What kind of intelligence do you have?

2008-02-12T08:58:00.001-05:00

Your Dominant Intelligence is Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence

You are naturally athletic and coordinated, good at making your mind and body work together.
Sports are fun and easy for you, especially those requiring good hand - eye coordination.
There's also a good chance you're a great dancer, or good at expressing yourself through body language.
You learn best by doing, and you feel like you've always got to be moving (even if it's just your hands).

You would make a good athlete, physical education teaches, dancer, actor, firefighter, or artisan.

What Kind of Intelligence Do You Have?

What kind of writer should you be?

2008-02-12T08:53:00.001-05:00

You Should Be a Song Writer

You have the ability to evoke emotion, tell a story, and hook someone...
In a very small amount of words, perhaps with some deft rhyming.
Even if you can't write music, you can sure write compelling lyrics.
Lyrics so good, people will have them stuck in their heads!

What Type of Writer Should You Be?

It's snowing

2008-01-19T16:55:00.000-05:00

My first Tribble

2008-01-18T09:14:00.000-05:00

Hi I finally have mastered it a bit to do some other knitting besides hats and dishcloths, I love them but want to try new things in knitting... I still crochet and am working on an afghan for a friend's lil girl in the pink camo, it is turning out nicely...

I am working on the nascar dishcloths and have done some more of them... I have the #00, #19 and a few others done now... will be getting them done for a bit...

NASCAR season is just around the corner... There is so many what ifs, Does everyone get thru the inspection line free and clear for Daytona this yr? Will Jimmie Johnson get the three peat and if he will get it with out his CC Knaus getting suspended...I don't think JJ can get it done without Chad cheating and getting suspended, that is just my opinion...

Well here is the picture of the tribble and hope to get some more pictures on here... Hunter and I hope that we are going to the Richmond cup race in May...He can't wait and is sooo excited about it... Maybe he will finally meet Tony Stewart....

Well I have completed most of Nascar Numbers

Waffle hat

2007-10-01T13:17:00.000-05:00

I just did this waffle hat

It was fun and I used pink camo on it....Working on some more pictures of the work I have been doing around the house to stay busy.... We have been having a nice and hot fall soccer season which is great for the weather but not great on the kids...I think Hunter has found the position he loves the best... Either Midfielder or Center Midfielder also known as sweeper... He loves being a midfielder...

well off to get my around the rosy baby blanket done again... Finally decided to work it up again and will give the gauge and skein usage updates for the pattern....

Just saying hello

2005-12-22T21:17:00.000-05:00

Ahhh almost christmas time here. I really don't like it that much lately, couldn't really get into the spirit this yr. It is the 5 yr anniversary that my mom passed on christmas eve, and last yr my grandma on my dad's side passed in december as well. Hubby even said we might have another puppy added to the mix. Not real happy but if it keeps him happy...I won't get another kitten though, too many pets to mess with my yarn. Ella is learning somewhat but it comes with time and getting her to play with what I make her not what I was working on at the time. I have my work displayed at a local consignment shop and it is doing well, at least it is spending money. I finally made a martha poncho in purple for dh's dog friend and she loved it, just forgot to get a picture, maybe when hubby goes back to charlottesville, I will ask him to take a picture of it.

NASCAR will be on in 58 days...yippeee, Soon I will have something to listen to while I crochet away. BTW all you crocheters out there, if you bring your work and work on it, people will watch and I get orders that way, I just got done doing 2 beanie hats, and now that same lady has me making a hat with flaps and a lapghan in red, white and blue for a retirement of a military member.

I like that the orders have kept me busy so I don't have to think about the time and the days that are coming. I normally have been on meds starting in oct but it creeped up and now I have to deal with all the issues I have and not take it out on everyone around me.

So I am going to try and keep up with the blog and hopefully still have sanity if we add another puppy to the mix. Hope to get some pictures of the ##()I)Y#*(^*(@^ animals..lol... I do love them, just they do things to aggrivate me and push the buttons...

School will be back in session jan 2nd too so that is something to look forward to as well...

Ella and her new sweater

2005-12-10T16:10:00.000-05:00

Ella has been shivering because it is now getting cold at night so I made her a sweater. it is from crochet n mores site and the version Linda did...

http://www.crochetnmore.com/dogsweater-lindas.htm

I added 2 rows of dc at the beg edge after the fact and row 14 I added 15 chs before I attached to other side so that it would fit my almost 6 pound kitty...

You can make the items to sell at craft fairs, bazaars, and local areas, but you may not sell the patterns themselves ever and never can sell online at any craft or ebay like situation. To sell online would have to have written consent by me and my company or we will sue to the extent of the law.

I don't mind if you put a link to my site on websites but to let me know so that I can reciprocate the deal for you.

I have and will update as need be on the copyright but don't take someone's hard work and claim it as your own. There are a lot of hard working designers out there and you don't want to bite the hand that feeds your need for patterns. I don't get paid for my patterns and if I wanted to I would myself sell and not have someone else get my rightful profits.

I welcome pictures and variations of my designs to showcase here or on my blogs and websites I maintain.

thank you,

Two hats I have done

2005-10-29T12:08:00.000-05:00

Here are two hats I have done. I just got the heads at Sally beauty supply to show them off as Hunter hates having to model work I have been doing... But one is a purple varigated and the other is grey with a large black stripe.

Cara and Buddy

2005-10-29T10:42:00.000-05:00

They are sleeping the day away...Well Cara just got done running like her butt was on fire, kees are notorious for that... But now they are taking a break and relaxing so I can get some crocheting done. Their webpages are www.geocities.com/woodhillkeesies if you want to see them. off to crochet some more.

my baby ripple design picture

2005-10-29T10:15:00.000-05:00

copyrighted oct 2005
pattern will come later but it was a pattern I designed based off of Angel Crafts round ripple. I was making so many for friends and family that I wanted some bumps and design to mine.

Hope you like it and hope to get it written to the puter soon, just on paper right now. My design pages are going over bandwidth to where I have been getting ready for some mirror sites and etc to reduce the bandwith on the over loaded one.

well off to work on some more designs and get some more craft fair stuff done.

my 4L kiddos

2005-10-28T19:55:00.000-05:00

Buddy is in the top picture, the patriarch, the the middle is Ella, the baby, and the matriarch, Ragamuffin "kitty"(she is the big one), and the bottom has the puppy Cara nosing into one of my yarn bags that the kitten has fallen asleep in. Didn't realize it was blurry, and Ella has found some wierd places to sleep of late too, maybe one of these days I will get a new picture of her.

Cara the puppy has destroyed 3 kitty toys in an hour tonight. Guess I will have to buy some more or get cracking and make some more before she shreds them all...lol... I can't wait till she learns that she is to play with only her toys, hope it will be real soon. As I have been working on crochet and designing, and getting ready for a show in November I have been busy...

I hope to get a picture if the weather is great tomorrow of some of the things I have finished over the past week, I have made about 7-8 hats, baby blanket, booties, shrug from caneylane creations.(shelly shrug), and a few more things.

Well off to watch Nascar qualifying and hope my driver gets a good spot. Go #38...

my kitty

2005-10-28T17:51:00.000-05:00

We got her a few weeks ago and she had a head cold, I have given her the name Ella, for a Nascar driver we like, she has already gotten double her weight and size.. She is a sweety.

Well I am going to see how this looks as I am using a different way of getting the pictures to the blog and seeing if I like them this way.

Slowly getting back to normal

2005-10-28T16:15:00.000-05:00

Hi, I know I haven't posted in a while, we have 2 new 4L kiddos here and getting them into the swing of how it works, well that will take a while. We got a new kitten during the adoption time at petsmart, and we just got the daughter of our dog too. so it is chaos here. Literally and figuratively, in all sense of the word.

My 6 yo has a girl friend, she gave him her number, and he had to learn how to call her. It was funny, but he scowls at the word that she is his girlfriend. hehhe..

I belong to some crochet groups and well sometimes you have to draw a deaf ear to some of the posts, especially if you really don't care one way or the other on the given subject. Lately it has been about the different yarns, who cares, I use what I can afford and that isn't saying much. I would love to make some of the items in the magazines but balk at paying 6.00 a ball and having to have anywhere from 10 to 15 balls to make one item. I just can't justify 60.00 to my dh to do that, so that will stay in the back burner unless my design business takes off but it is few and far between that things get bought. I just sold a scarf for 10 for the neighbor and have a craft fair to do in November which I have a partner in it so it saves on the cost of the booth.

Well gotta go get some dinner and check on the animals as they are a bit on the quiet side and have to see if they are tearing up the house while I have been writing this long passage of air..lol...

My website is www.geocities.com/woodhilldesign pictures soon or www.geocities.com/febmommy free patterns

Talk later,

Hi, hopefully I will get back to posting soon, been very busy with all that the holiday season has brought forth that there are a million and one things to do and not enough hours in the day to get it done, and now we have 2 new 4L family members to boot. I love animals as long as they know that my yarn except what I give them is mine and mine alone..lol...

I have been designing and hope to either put them here or on my other site, some might be paid patterns or sent to publishers first but am still in the deciding if they are good enough to be in print in a magazine.

I am awaiting the notice of when a pattern of mine will be published in a book but it hasn't been finished yet to get a date on it...

Well hope this finds all who read this fine and well and going to try and get the bogus comments off this blog that are spam and not a real comment. Hopefully it is as easy as it is with yahoo...

Night night,
Bren

Thursday blahs

2005-06-23T19:43:00.000-05:00

When is it going to be the weekend, when will the kids get back to school...It won't be here fast enough for me...hehe.... My neighbor was asking how my grass is so green and looks pretty...I tell them, lots of water and letting it grow a little to get the weeds out...along with the weed and feed and etc. My new neighbor's grass well, not grass, a weed garden..lol...the old neighbor never did anything and I have the side to see it as we have weeds on the side due to them not growing grass, but letting it just be...but with the newbies, hopefully I won't have to work on that side so much to get grass growing without weeds...

As for crochet, I am starting to try tonight and start something cool with some new yarn I picked up...

Sad, my son Brandon who is visiting family in IN, isn't missing us and is more busy with hanging out than talking to his mom...boo-hoo. at least he is having fun, right? My youngest, Hunter just noticed his first loose tooth so he has been gingerly trying to get it out...So hopefully it will be out in a week. He also got his tonsil and adnoid surgery set for July 15th...yippee!! I wanted to get it done before we went to get the oldest...so he will still be recooperating when we go up for my 15 yr class reunion...Can't believe it has been that long but hey I don't look like it has been that long. I went to get the oldest from a skating party and the teacher thought I was his sister...makes you feel young and the kids go ugh...

Well I think I am going to try and sit and do some crochet and see if it bothers my arm to do it.

Good night stay safe and GOD bless you or whatever you believe in.

New day coming

Hi, I think I have this fugured out and I don't know if I plan on putting some of my designs here or only on my other website. but will post later on this.

I have been having several people want items designed for babies and or more clothes so I have been drawing up some designs to get some items set up when I am feeling better. I haven't been sleeping well, my dad is in the hospital and my oldest is up there with him in IN, and he is just learning to stay home alone, he is 12. So hope my dad gets out today so that I can have some peace of mind that he is going to be fine and I don't have to make the 15 hour trip to IN...

My youngest who is 6 is really into racing and we went to see Herbie fully loaded last night and he liked it. His favorite drivers are #38 M&M's car Elliott Sadler and #20 Home Depot Tony Stewart. He is hoping his dad will take his brother and him to a Nascar race next yr. We will see...

Well off for a little bit, going to mow the lawn and then hang out in our pool in the backyard today.

my baby hat design that I gave with the baby ripple. Hope the pictures go thru, still a learning process and new to blogs.

2005-06-22T21:10:00.000-05:00

Round ripple I made for a neighbor's newborn daughter.

I'm back for a little while

2005-06-22T20:41:00.000-05:00

Well what has not been happening.... I have started designing again and getting published, it is harder to do than I thought. I love that I can design different and new and never thought of items but I have been having to deal with our home and dogs that it has been getting sidetracked. I have been busy crocheting designs by the many talented ladies and gentlemen out there in cyberworld too.

I have been having issues with the puter too, seems when something gets fixed, money has to get put on something else.

I am still trying to figure out how to add pictures to the site but I do have a website of my designs and it is www.geocities.com/febmommy I need to get it more updated but for now it is fine.

Well I will go for now and read up on uploading pictues to this blog.

December, December

Hi, can't believe it is december already. Got the mailbox decorated but need to get a taller ladder to put the lights up outside. Maybe I can get hubby to go and do that this weekend. He hates to go to parties so it gives him some busy work to do besides messing with his show dogs. I hate the attention he gives them and if it came to a choice, I better be first on his list with the boys, kwim or the dogs go! lol....

Well working on some items and getting ready to put some pictures in the camera and get them downloaded so I can have pictures to go with the words...

Hope everyone is having a safe holiday and getting things that you want done before xmas and not pulling your hair out!

day 2

2004-11-12T11:51:00.000-05:00

Well I am here again, am working on a baby ensemble for a friend and a blanket for another one.

Will take pictures of them when I get the camera up and running again. I have been sketching some new designs in crochet and just have to take some time and get the time to work with my hooks to make the design a 3d item. I have a website of my designs already that I have put out there for others to see. Well I need to get to work on them and will be back soon to post some pictures of the work.
