Well, the preliminary total of money raised before fees are taken out fo PayPal and whatnot is..........drumroll please.......

$3162!!!!!!

Can you believe that? Amazing. Just amazing.

Well, the auctions are finished! The My Mom Rocks set brought $87, the Snowflake set brought $77 and the Aran sweater brought $57. Thats $221!!! Go us! The fundraiser ends tomorrow night, so hopefully I will be able to post a total sometime this week.

Okay. Here are the 2 decent pictures that Liz sent me of Halloween. I wish that I had posted that night, because it really was a lot of fun, but not so much time has past that I really don't feel like trying to write about it. I'm lame.




There was just a little bidding war for Mama's sweater and now it is up to $57!!! I tried to call and tell her because I know she must be in the car on the way to see J and K in VT, but for once in his life my dad isn't answering his cell. I hope everything is okay. I think I'll give J a quick call. Okay, they aren't dead in a ditch, I interrupted them eating breakfast. Sorry guys!

Kyle and Henry and Fletcher and McKai went to see Flushed Away so I have the house to myself for a little while. I should be working. I need to dye some yarn for an order. I made it all the way down to the legs and then remembered I need the hand dyed yarn for the leg colors. Oops. So I'll have to take them off the needles to start another pair while the yarn is drying overnight.

I thought there were more pictures I was supposed to post, but I think it was just the charity auction stuff, which you can see here: Fiber Arts Avengers . I am not posting the direct link to our stuff so you have to scroll by everything and possibly find something you want to buy a raffle ticket for. I'm mean like that.

And now I think I am going to put off work for another 20 minutes and take a shower without the threat of a little man running in the bathroom, whipping open the shower curtain and screaming "YOU'RE ALL NAKED!" at the top of his tiny yet powerful lungs.

Oh my little blog, how I've neglected you! I can't believe I haven't posted since before Halloween, that is just silly.

I am typing this on my new laptop! Kind of. Kyle found out that he has access to this laptop, so he brought it home for me to use until the end of the school year. WooHoo! The god thing is, that means I can update my little blogs and browse on my message boards in the wee hours of the morning when I am up with Henry but Kyle is still sleeping so I can't use the desktop. The bad news is that I can't post pictures from this computer, so I'll have to do a big picture post later.

It feels like we are so busy and nothing is happening at the same time. The knittig biz is absolutely crazy. I finally had to close until I can catch up with everything on my plate. I want to offer a few more things before the holidays, but I just don't think it is going to happen. I am not going to take any orders I can't finish before I leave for CT. I want to be free to hang out with the fam and maybe do some fun knitting projects that aren't work related. Wish me luck. I think I have about 15 pairs of longies that need to be made before Dec. 21.

So far we are kicking ass with our Fiber Arts Avenger auctions. With all 3 auctions added together, we have so far raised about $200. They are ending tonight, so I am hoping for a couple of last minute bidding wars. We'll see what happens.

Henry has decided that puzzles are the best thing ever. We found a little wooden numbers puzzle, I think they call them "tray puzzles" because they are wooden jigsaw pieces that sit in a tray, in the dollar bins at target yesterday and he has put it together and taken it apart approximately 700 times since then. It is actually ind of sad. I feel the need to run out and get him about 3 more so that he doesn't have to keep doing the same one over and over again. I'm not sure where to get them, though. I want to go to the teacher supply store, but I don't think they are open on Sundays. I need to find that other toy, whose name escapes me and is driving me crazy-it is a bunch of plastic shapes that come with pictures made out of the shapes and you put the plastic pieces on top of the pictures. I cant for the life of me remember what it is. I bet someone on Amity would know. Okay. I have to go ask. I'll be back later. Pinky swear.
