another conversation...

disclaimer: this conversation means no offense to any group. in fact, it's possible i'd fit in quite well with the mentioned group, nor am i classifying people who made the choice that i am choosing not to make.


The Convo between me and my adoring spouse:

me: so I called the oral surgeon and made my consult appt. I also got an estimate for the surgery, anesthesia and the implant. all in all about $3400.00
adoring spouse: well that's what I said it would cost...

*i made a not so nice comment that i'm leaving out here. chalk it up to artistic license and assuming *

adoring spouse: what would happen if you just didn't replace the tooth?
me: that's not going to happen.

adoring spouse: but what would be the ramifications if you didn't replace it...

me: none, but it's a non-issue since i'm having the implant

me: i'm not a hillbilly!

adoring spouse: just because you have all your teeth doesn't mean you aren't a hillbilly...

at this juncture can i point out my disappointment that my first shot at getting implants and it's a tooth...
not that i need them in any other area. i'm just saying.

either way the yarn budget is going to be taking a hit...

anyone guess why i'm more gungho to get this surgery than the one i need on my elbow?

because i don't knit with my teeth.

Mr. Brown has volunteered to be my caretaker... (picture taken months ago... surgery is not scheduled yet)

The 'To-Do' list...

and by 'to-do' list I mean 'to-knit' list. I'm really really trying to get on track with this list and stay deeply focused. It has helped that I have successfully removed all yarn from the living room and into Mr. Brown's Yarn shop on the second floor. Except for the fact that I went in there the other day with a shopping bag and loaded up. Currently in the sidelines to be finished 1. Ledge Trail Vest 2. Twiggy for me 3. 70 Yard Mitt for my other hand Finished those bad boys last night! this is what happens when you use the 10s burst hands free option on your iphone and you're holding said phone with your chinny chin chin. On the List: 1. Twiggy for a Christmas gift 2. Iris the Gourmet Monster but since it's for a boy I'm calling it Orvil. 3. Great White Shart Shark 4. Bosco - for me 5. Stillhouse Vest - for me 6. Woodsy - for me 7. Three Seahawk themed hats as gifts. 8. Gifts for friends... and on and on and on If you...

Finished Object

I'm not good at keeping surprises a secret...I get so excited that I usually blow it. Well not this time... I knit this sweater for Bump and had the buttons custom madefor it by Buttons by Robin, a wonderful shop on Etsy... She used a photo of Rupert that I emailed her...Rupert is their (Bump, C & M's) family dog... I couldn't post a photo until they had received the sweater which arrived on their doorstep last night... Oh how I wish I could have been there when they got it! It turned out amazing! Pattern: Baby Sophisticate Yarn: Big tweedy Cashmere (lucky boy) Please check out Robin's shop on Etsy I know you'll find buttons you love and she does amazing work!

W.I.P

Bears Barn Owl. We had a hockey game last night and while I'm normally so wrapped up in the game that I don't have time to knit, that was not the case last night. Silvertips have had a rough go and the Red Deer Rebels really wolloped them last night. So I knit. I ate some dingleberries. Delicious. and I knit some more. I have a feeling I'll be finishing this bad boy up by tomorrow and he'll be the star of the retreat. Isn't his color wonderful?
