The kids are gone

You would think I have plenty of time to knit with the kids being gone. They left for Guatemala on 6/20. It feels like they have been gone forever! I still have 2 more weeks to go. I have been working a lot, which keeps me busy- but it keeps me away from knitting. I finished a few things and started even more! I am working on a 3 sweaters right now- 1 crochet, 1 loom, and 1 on the needles. I want to start Grammie's mesh bags, I searched for the yarn. I have a bag to felt going that I started last year on a loom. Then I have 2 different socks going on 2 looms. I completed a scarf, a pair of slippers- I still need to felt 1, 2 dish cloths, 1 bracelet, and a few baby hats. I have way more going than I have completed!

New member to the family....

Almost a month ago we adopted Blue- a cat from the SPCA. Then a few days later my brother gave me Maya- a 6 week old Chihuahua. After 2 weeks it became obvious that Blue was not going to mesh with our pets: big dog and cat. Blue was getting to aggressive with the pets and with us, so we took her back:(

Maya is now 9 weeks old and is always looking for something to chew on. Maya hates being outside, I have never heard of this before. She has a little more time before I can socialize her with other dogs, but I really hope she starts to like nature. I have no pictures of her walking around, as she doesn't walk she runs. So here she is:0)
