Fun with little hair and other itchy things

Well this post is off topic a little bit.
If you know me in person you know that I don't have a lot of hair and cover my head with scarves and bandannas (sp?). I have PCOS and my mothers side of the family all have thin hair. So since I was 12 years old my hair has been falling out. My mom always let me do what I wanted with my hair being that she knew it wasn't going to be there forever.
So I like to have "colorful" hair (even if people only get to see the bangs) . I'm excited because I have a new color to try out tonight. Midnight purple! I'll post photos tonight if I can remember to charge my camera. Which means I have to remember where I left the charger ;o)
I swear my memorie is great with remembering conversations, but I can never remember where I put things!
Also my HIVES are back and I HATE that! See last year I started getting hives out of the blue just one day hives poped up on my hands and I had never had a hive before in my life. Well I had them all over my body for 5 months straight after that day! The Dr was no help cause they couldn't figure out what was causing them and they told me they would go away "someday". Well let me tell you I wanted to slap the Dr right then and there! So 3 months ago the hives just stoped dont know why but let me tell you I was soooo happy! Well that ended yesterday :o( yep they came back and I have them right now as I tell you about them. The crazy thing is that I will get one on a finger and it will drive me crazy for an hour then go away but then 2 more will show up on the other arm then those stop and then my neck will be covered! its like chasing your tail (if you were a dog) you never get to the end!
Ugh well enough griping about that, off to start dinner and then have fun with my little tuft of hair ;o)

Veggies and a chicken could be yours!

Well I decided to list the veggies and a chicken on my etsy site.

I also got to take them outside being that we had great sunny weather and got photos so that the colors really show true to life.

Check it out!

Kettle and a spoon

OK I think the gift is finely complete!
I made a bag, of my own design, that holds the veggies and chicken and spoon for storage when not in use,

but also works as the kettle when you open it for hours of enjoyment for the kiddos to "cook".
Plus I thought how can you cook with out a wooden spoon to stir with, so I made another pattern for a wooden spoon!

Side

Front

Back

I think that the gift is now perfect, lol now I have to make it all again for Moira!

So here it is the kettle/bag and spoon!

Chicken drumstick

Well I made my first ever knitting pattern today.
Like I said I'm making veggies for my friends daughters first birthday and I thought a chicken drumstick would look cute with it, but I looked online for a pattern and couldn't find one. So I said now how hard could it be to make one myself?
And it wasn't and here it is my drumstick!

Went to the beach!

Well yesterday was an amazingly beautiful day and my boyfriend had the day off work so we said lets hit the road and play at the beach.
I love the beach and I would show you photos but I don't take a camera to the beach any more because that is what killed my last camera it got sand in it and would never turn on again.
So just pictures blue sky empty beach (it was a Thursday) and TONS of rocks and shells everywhere!
So Ernie and Moira made sandcastles and I went and picked up pretty rock (that's Moira's name for them).
Here is my haul have no idea what I will do with them but I had a fun time finding them.


Also I don't drive. Hate it! Never will, makes me sick to think about it. So if I'm sitting in the car and I'm watching the other cars I jump and scare Ernie all the time at any little thing. My mind and body swear that that truck swerved into our lane or that person on the sidewalk stepped out to far into the street and we will hit them. In all reality we are fine but I stress the whole time.
So I knit while we drive so that Ernie has peace and I don't get a headache from the anxiety!

This is my new project, its a market bag and as you can see there was a lot of driving going on because I'm past half way now.


The color of the yarn is Marrakesh. So I will be finishing it today and will update with photos when its ready for sale.
