Catching Up

I know so much time has gone by since updating this blog. I have been busy working on my classroom getting ready for the "new bunch". The district decided to combine their elementary schools and so I am in a new school. My mom and I have been plugging away at getting things unpacked and ready to go.

I actually haven't been knitting a great deal. I have been crocheting and doing needlepoint thought. Here are some of the things I have been working on.
The doily I just completed:


This isn't "mine", but it is from the page where I got the pattern. If you click the picture it will take you to the pattern page. It was a fun doily to make and turned out just like the picture.

The needlepoint I am working on:


This project isn't quite finished yet. It is the first needlepoint I have done. It is a really fun project to work on. If you click the picture above it will take you to the place that manufactures these. They have many pretty patterns to choose from! Normally I do cross-stitch or embroidery. I really like needlepoint now as well.

Word of Warcraft has also been keeping me busy! I have been working on a new character, and whenever you start up a new character you get a bit addicted for awhile.

Due to this second surgery on my other foot, I am still on hold from Irish dance. I am really, REALLY missing it right now. Hopefully I will be back to it with no restrictions before long. I have also been using my dad's laptop and wireless internet since surgery. I have decided that I would like to get one. If anyone has any suggestions for a laptop that they recommend, please let me know. I would like to use it between work and home, especially since at school we only have Mac's. I can't convert my files very easily. I would also like to put WoW on the laptop. So I need one that can run games and internet, but doesn't cost a fortune.

I hope everyone out there is doing well. I know summer is flying by, but take time to enjoy it!
