Garbage in Garbage Out!

So I've been a busy bee. I finished my grad class and I went on an interview and cleaned out my stash.craft.guest bedroom and D got a job! Yay. D was offered the job of asst. manager at the new store and he took it. :D It's a blessing really since he was as high up as he could go in his old store. Now he's asst. mgr- in less than a year time- from part time seasonal minion to asst. mgr. WOOT!

And I went on an interview and I felt like I rocked it. I was armed with test scores and stats about the school, they were blown away. I'll hear by July 8thish. Pray that I get it, it seems like a great place to set up shop for a while.

And my bedroom was trashed- really. I had been so busy with weekend crafty stuffs that I'd just shove stuff back in there and not really put it up properly. So, here we have the new and improved closet where almost ALL of my yarn, et al is stored.


And a close up of the tall thingy:

This is a little messy still, but I have to get new bookends for this:


Then there's the new yarn D got me at his store at a STEEP discount. :D
That's all double stacked in there. I know...

Then there's this drawer too


And I'd like to share my tattoo for the first time


Also, I saw Shawn Mullins at The Loft last weekend. ROCK OUT! He played late and my mans Marshall Ruffin opened for him


Oh and the car is still screwed up- something else this time. GOOD LORD!

Stop buying and Think for a minute

http://www.crazyauntpurl.com/archives/2008/05/mid_year_resolu.php

Go there. Read that. Back? Okay.

Now. I'm not poor. I'm not broke. I am, however, unemployed in about, um, 24hrs. Yes, tomorrow is my last day at my current school and I'm still looking for a school (ahem universe, I'm sending positive vibes- using the Secret, please help a sista out!) for next year. Anyway. I was reading this and it really struck home.

Laurie Perry (aka crazy aunt purl) speaks as thought she lives in my body. Really. Like she has the same soul. Freaky huh? Maybe that sounds all weird and stalkery, but really. Anyhow. She is taking a break from buying crap. Not like the world ends if she buys, but she's just gonna focus on her needs, not her wants.

And as I was reading this, I was flicking between tabs- frantically refreshing the Yarn Pirate website, stalking roving. I have just purchased two bumps (12 oz) of fiber. I need no more.

I just sold four skeins of sock yarn that I know I wasn't going to use. I get rid of stuff at a scary rate.

But I also bring stuff in at a scary rate. I scour the Rav boards for great yarn finds. I think about yarn and junk to buy when I'm washing my hair in the morning.

I'm a rabid consumer. And it scares me. My finances are not up to snuff for me to want to own the world. No Trumps or Rockafellers in my family. Nada.

Jeesh. I think I should follow her example and stop the buying a while. But, lets face it- I can prolly only last a month.

Whoa Cool!

I linked to Sonny and Shear, a yarn store online. They kick butt. You can send them yarn bands that total up to 2lbs and they give you 10% off your next purchase. EVEN if you didn't buy the yarn from them, they let you play. EVEN IF you have never ordered from them, THEY LET YOU PLAY! How rock is that?

Also, they give you points for your purchases. You only have to spend $200 to get $25 to spend for free. We all know how FAST we can do that. Sheesh. I'm thinking my next birthdays and Christmases may come from there- that way I get the yarn and the yarn credit too! :D

Check it out. They rock.

Since I hate to be tagged, I tag not here.

1) What was I doing 10 years ago? Let's see, I was 14. That puts me in middle school, living in Columbus, GA. Arnold Middle School- 8th grade. I would have been totally in love with a guy named Matt, dorky but tall, dark, and goofy cute. I was giving gifts for all occasions- wearing tie-died pants on Easter. My parents were still married- unhappily. I was growing up- trying to figure life out. :P

2) What are 5 things on my to-do list for today (not in any particular order): write study guide, learn to center clay on the wheel, spin, knit, take a nap, grade papers. Notice what I put last - the thing I hate most!

3) Snacks I enjoy: Apples, bagelfuls, cheesesticks

4) Things I would do if I were a billionaire: Quit my job, invest some money, save the rest and live off of the interest. Buy a new car. Pay off my credit cards. BUY MORE YARN!

5) Places I have lived: Cordele, Americus, Columbus, Ga Seale, Alabama

6) Jobs I have had: waitress, tutor, lab monitor, teacher, babysitter

Whoosh!

I feel like I've been in a windstorm all weekend. Well, Sunday I was, but we'll skip that for now.

Friday was a busy bee kind of day. Had to get home, pack orders to ship, pack clothes to go to Americus this weekend, and clean up a bit before we could go. I let the house fall in during the week and then rebuild each weekend. Sucks when I don't have a weekend to rebuild, then I have to do it during the week. Boo.

We got in around dark at his mom's house and had steak, potatoes, asparagus (sp?), and salad. I actually at the veggies, never before being a fan of the spears. That being said, I do think the only way I'd eat them is grilled. mmmm We veged out the rest of the night with Dave making fun of Mom about turning off ALL of the lights in the house. "We're saving electricity!" Except we couldn't see to talk to each other at one point she had been so click happy. It became a running joke.

Saturday I got up and went to the college, the real reason we were there, and attended the first day (pre institute) of the Writing Project. I worked for the WP for years while I was in college and now I get to go through as a fellow. :D Yay. And I got my books and supplies. It felt great, like the first day back after summer. I really do LOVE to be in school. Go with it, you and I both know I'll be grumpy once the projects start coming due, but we'll pretend like that's not the truth.

Saturday night we went to Cordele to visit with my cousin Cal. We ate pizza, played guitar hero, chatted, and then watched the real history channel version of 300. He freaked us out because he's been sick and his blood pressure has been sky high. Like 10 points from stroke zone. We're very worried about him. I played the role of Mama and made him get out of his wheelchair when we were just sitting around talking or watching tv. I know it wore him out, but the chair doesn't do him much good.

Sunday was interesting. I had about 10 lbs of water on Saturday so I kept having to get up and tinkle. Well, I noticed one blurry time that it was very dark and that it was flashing light and I heard the thunder. Then I woke up again to potty and it was raining like something out of the old testament! Jeebs. [I later found out that tornados touched down all around our area!] Dave, saint that he is, let me sleep unabused until 11am. Glory! Then I got up, showered, and we sat around waiting for Terry's kids to get there for Mother's Day lunch. They took FOREVER! GOOD GOD. Ahem. After we ate and chatted, we packed up and headed out. On the road between his mom's and Americus, we saw 2 turtles in the road. One was a big snapper and the other turned out to be a gopher tortise. We turned around to go back and save the snapper but he must have hauled boogie or been saved by the truck behind us, we never did find him. And then we turned around in the parking lot of a church to save him.

When we got home, we went and ran errands and at at Wendy's. On the way back into our apts, we saw a baby snapper caught between the curbs, making a mad dash. We picked him up, drove him up the hill, and let him go down where our drainage ponds are. :D We are the turtle team or something hehe.

The Fuzzy Peach Rides Again!

Check out our new base- Sproing!

Spin me right round baby

Yeah, what's with all the song titles? I dunno. They just come to me and seem to fit. :P

I've been given the gift of a spindle and fiber. I'm a spinner! Finally. I've wanted to learn to spin since I started knitting.

Here is the gift that I got from SPLJ5 pal Knit Kit.


I got the package right around my birthday and managed to spin all the fiber she sent before I managed to snap a pic. :D I love spinning. It's fun. And easy. I might can make sock yarn one day. :D WHOO.

This is some Crown Moutain Farms roving that I bought from a person on Ravelry. I think it's called Tahitian Dream or something. I broke the big pile into 2 bumps and have spun up all of one and have one left.


This is something I got in a birthday swap. IT ROCKS!


And this is recycled yarn that I got from the same person who I got the fiber from. It was a sweater and I ripped it and dyed it this weekend. It's drying now, I should be able to use it this weekend. I'm thinking to start the mystic lights shawl. I joined the KAL, but you know me- I've not even picked out my yarn! :P


And since I'm here, since I'm posting, I'll add one more. This is my sock yarn stash as of last month. I think there are 5 new ones already and I have a $100 order from Woolgirl coming my way. My cousin loves me and forgot my birthday. SO he made up for it in fiber. :D YAY

I need to cast on a new pair of socks with some of this yarn. I just finished a pair of socks out of my own yarn and I need to get a pic soon. But I forgot yesterday when I was snap happy.

Touch me, turn me on, baby burn me down

I used to LOVE that song. I am on fire this week. I've crocheted three owls and a robin. I cleaned out the stash to give like 10lbs to his mema's church for their children's center. I've purchased lots o' crap. Just tons of stuff has been done this week. Please don't make me go back to school.

Please?

Really?











See how cute? *dies*

Out of the Pot and into the fire

I'm dyeing again. :P I've been busy like a bee. I dyed up 4 skeins Saturday night. Fun stuff. I had a blast. I tried a new way of doing things. 'Speriments if you will. [Me and Dusty Rhodes]

So here we have my fave mistake, er um, experiment.


It's still in the rinse, so no really great pics of it. BUT LOVE IT! I can't wait for you to see it. It's like the inside of a watercolor paintbox after it get rained on. Fab.


And here you see a project that I've finished recently. My stearing wheel kept freezing me to death. So as soon as I got sick of it, Spring happened. Whatever. I'm over it.


And a yarn I just got from The Loopy Ewe. I could just roll in the yarn.

Speaking of what's left, we've got a few skeins left in the shop. Go check it out. I want to wait until April to put more yarn in the shop. I have a birthday to celebrate early in the month, so no yarn worries for me then. :P Maybe my new sock base yarns will be dry by then. It's squishier than the one I already use. :D

We Interrupt This Radio Silence

We're back. After the Holidays, I needed a break. Now I feel fantabulous and we've been head over heels in the dye pots these past few weeks. I dabbled a bit in there last night as a matter of fact, so those will be coming out soon and up to dry. When they do so, we might sneak a few into the shop. :D And we have a new sock yarn base to play with. I'm still testing some stuff, seeing what dyes work, etc. So look for a new base yarn to add to the one we already have in stock.

Enough already! Check our Etsy mini and see what we have new for you!

Etsy Buy Handmade thefuzzypeach

Oh yeah! I almost forgot. One lucky buyer who purchases one of our four new yarns will get a FREE matching set of stitch markers (4)!

Enjoy!

Chore Wars!

Random Friday

Jan. was the month that I thought would never end. I lived six lives through that stipid month. And went broke! :P This being a teacher and getting one check a month thing is for the birds.


I voted. :D I felt very grown up. It was my very first time voting. Eva. !

I have just finished a pair of socks. I'm wearing them right now as a matter of fact. They are from my own handdyed yarn. I hated that I had to many knots, but if there weren't knots, I would have never been able to keep it!

I'm not impressed with the last Pirates movie. It was a bit too fantasy for me. The first one could have happened-ish but the next two, no way! And I hate that they left it open for a 4th. Won't be seeing it if they do. I don't like when movies keep going and going. Jason, Freddie, and the Halloweens are dumb to me for that reason.

I want to start a pair of Noro socks. Bad. Real bad. Like NOW. But I'm still at school, so no socks for the wicked.

My car is broken. It's leaking water like crazy and we can't find where it's coming from. I've driven to work the past two freezing mornings with no heat because I can't keep enough water in the stinkin' radiator. We hope it's just a hose. And we can fix it over the weekend. If not, we may have to do something serious like borrow a car or rent one! for the 4 days I'm in school next week. Eep.

There is a really icky piece of hair on my speaker on the desk. Squick!

It's Friday, 3:14 and I can't stand myself I'm so excited!!! My fave guy is going to be playing at The Loft tomorrow night and we are THERE! :D He hasn't played since waay before Chirstmas because he's been cutting an album. Yay! He's going to have a CD release party in March.

I hate giving makeup tests. I always wind up rewriting them so that the kids these days can't type them into their cells and then give them or sell them away to the kids who missed. More work for me, but it keeps them a little bit honest.

I had a really healthy discussion with my 4th block 10th graders today about race, racism, and MLK. We read his speech and talked about whether or not his dream has been realized. My special ed. teacher grew up in the civil rights era and told some stories that happened to her and her family in Alabama. It was really cool. A very neat way to spend a Friday during Black History month. Oh, have I ever mentioned I teach at a predom. black high school? That made it especially cool to have the convo. with my kids. I've been hit as a racist sooo many times this year that I'm so sick of it but I think the kids really opened up to me today. For the first time. Breakthroughs.

Ok. I think that's all the random info I can type out before the 3:30 bell. If only this kid would get finished so I can go!!! :P I feel the highway calling my name. Must make a note to add water to my car before I hope in and fly off.

Hace a great and random weekend!

Whoa Weather!

GA. has been having some weather as of late. Snow and sleet and ice. Some are braced for the end of times. ;P I managed to get home the other day fine because it turned into rain and the temp. rose right after that. And then we had a heavy snow warning for Saturday. It snowed all around us, but none in Col. as far as I know and I live on the North end. I wonder if my kids got snow?
I worked another yarn event at AC Moore and people were saying that it was snowing in Pine Mtn. and Warm Springs. So maybe they got some at school. I know they'll be pleased if they did.

Other than snow news, no news. I'm still knitting away on two pairs of socks. Working the scarfotis. Started sewing a lamb out of socks last night. Have the stuff cut for a zebra but I ran out of polyfil. Bummer. D said he'd bring some home from work for me if he could remember to buy some. :D We'll see about it.

Today is a good day, no school. But of course I had dreams of school all morning as I slept through my usual time. I had one where I didn't get there until 4th block and my principal was mad because I didn't call and was about to fire me. I woke up thank goodness before he got the chance. And then I had one where someone came in and rearranged my room. Put up these shelves in front of the chalkboard (*chalk where a white board should have been!) and moved my desk and my kids desks. Freaked me out a lot. I hate when I have time off and all I can think about is work. Makes me crazy. :P

Sleet and Prayers

So...we have sleet. In Georgia. And I'm 30+ minutes away from home. Im' not excited about that. Not at all. I keep hoping that they will cut us loose before 4th block and call this a snow day before the roads ice over. Let's all send out a prayer. :D And if they do keep us all day, I'm soo going to skip the faculty meeting. It's been sleeting in Columbus where I live for hours now. And it hasn't gotten any warmer outside, only colder. So I'm thinking I may drive slow and slide home. :P

For the Mason Dixon Ladies

ETA: SCORE! I won. :D Yay. *happy dance* And Ma, we rock. :P

I am a sheep. Baaa. I also love contests. So this is the reason for my posting. I am entering my recipe box, the one we use and the one that sits on top of my fridge.

My mom started this for me when I was in high school. She was going to give it to me for my birthday or something but she got caught or ran out of time or something. So she started it and I finished it. :D So this is a two person project and I've used it for various things since we finished but since I have my own house, I use it for holding recipes. :D

This is the front view.


Open and not at all cleaned up!



And a back view.

You can tell I was a little bubblegum pop, teeny bopper back then. I love it and I have kept it cleaned off since I've been using it. :D


And now for the recipe. This is one from his Mema and it's sinfully easy!

1-2-3 Tuna Pie Serves 6

Needed:
1 frozen pie crust
6 1/2 oz. can tuna in OIL, drained
1 lb. can Mixed Vegs (veg-all), drained
10 1/2 oz. can cream of mushroom soup, undiluted

Do:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F
Turn pie shell out on wax paper.
Combine tuna, veg-all, and soup in mixing bowl.
Put mixture in pie tin.
Slit crust in several places, place over tuna mixture.
Do NOT seal edge.
Place pie tin on baking sheet.
Bake 15-20 minutes, until crust is golden.



This is yummy, yummy, yummy! Sorry Ma for not sharing any of our families recipes. Truth be told, none of them are written down. :P

Christmas nears :D

So we will hit our first Christmas event Saturday. We'll be motoring down to his Dad's house to do that side of Christmas. Then we'll come back Sunday, do our own little Christmas, he'll work Monday, we'll then drive back down to Americus for Christmas Eve and Christmas with his moms, and then back on Christmas day for him to work day after Christmas. Whew. I guess while we're in the area, we should go by my Dad's etc. but I haven't gotten them one single thing for Christmas. Crap. That also leaves his grandparents in Macon and my mama in Valdosta. Whoa. No IDEA how we're going to manage all this. Stupid job. I can go just whenever, but he can't manage to get off. But we're not bitter, we won't go there.

Ahhem.

More pictures of the Christmas nature.

This is a pic of the angel and the two lady ornaments we found in the stuff his mom ditched on us this year.





This cool little ornament is another that we found in the box o' crap. I love it!


Is this not the sweetest thing? I love it very much and it's at the front center of the tree this year.




And this little one has sisters, but they are so fragile that I left them packed up. I think they were his Mema Joyce's and then his mom's and now they are ours!



And isn't she sweet? I found her too. I like her painted face and hair.


And these are some new additions to our collection o' junk. The hippo is a candle, how cool? I got it, along with tons of others, for $2 at the goodwill store! And then the little snowman is something that was packed in with the mom stuff the sent us. It is china and so dainty! I love it. Then there's the yellow bird. Do you love it?! It was $1.01 at the goodwill. It was cast in 1945 (so says the pencil inside of him. I just love these three guys. :D

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

So here's the state of the craft:
I'm crankin' stuff out like a machine over here!

These are some things I've been knitting:
Camo Scarf for my little brother-


And a Mason-Dixon Scribble Scarf going to a teacher at school-


And the snail I mentioned-


A Fun Fur tree I made to give as SnB swap tonight-


And to prove that I still knit- WIPS

Branching out-


Some socks in progress-

That's 2 pair! The lighter of the two purples is some yarn I dyed for myself. It was the end of the cone that was all warped etc. SO I got to keep it! :D

And now for some of the cuteness that is my house at Christmas:

The cactus of 52+ blooms. :D We think it's dying.

And the cutest tree on Earth!!!


And the greatest stocking yet made by man-

Status

Jeesh. Whirlwind would not even begin to describe my life. Hither, tither, and yon I have been. Or at least it feels like that. I did little of nothing all weekend, but boy howdy do I feel like I climbed Everest. We cleaned the house, I mean CLEANED the house this weekend. After Sunday, you can't tell any difference. We spent all day Sunday in house, piddling, crafting, watching movies.

I've been sewing and knitting. And dyeing. I dyed up three more skeins of yarn for the shop, one though, is short so I get to keep it. :D It's a beautiful mix of greens. I started with a school theme in mind, blue and gold, but it was more fun to keep dumping them in at the same time and see what came out of it! I was also a bit impatient. I could have let the yellow strike and then the blue after the yellow exhausted, but who DOES that? :P

Not me.

And I think I've broken the curse of the ugly stocking. I've made a new stocking for myself for the last three years running. And they all come out ugly. So. This year, with my handy new machine, I ziped one up in patchwork. SO cute. I'll have to get pictures up. I'm in such a Christmas mood today. I've been listening to Yahoo! Music's Christmas stations. It's postplanning today, no kids!!! Can you tell I'm in a great mood? I would to a hula if it weren't so blasted cold in my room. I am not keen on the heater becuase of all the candy(paper) in the heater. Afraid I'll set this place ablaze. Not sure that's a bad thing, but you know, I'll wait for a day with kids to do it so we can all go home! :P Just kidding.

OH, I've knit a snail. It has to be the cutest thing EVA. I used the top part of the Nautie pattern from Knitty and made his little shell. Then I freehanded the body. I'm so proud. And no, I can't share a pattern. I just kinda did it. I increased when it seemed like a good idea, I decreased when it looked right, I made i-cord when it felt like the thing to do. I guess I can finally say that I am a true knitter cause I pulled that entire snail out of the air. It's for the boy who has said on multiple occasions that he's a snail. I don't know why, but he is a 26 yo kid at heart. Really. He just up and says he's a snail sometimes when we're playing around and then makes this noise like he's slithering. Eww. Then we were huddled under the covers, in cave darkness, one cold day and he was suddenly a "bat snail." So after I finish sewing him up, I've got to make some bat wings too. :D

Oh and my mom's husband's name is Donald. Naturally, we all give him ducks for Christmas. Dave just got this the other day when he was saying something about Donald's duck. He's slow I swear. But I'm going to sew him a duck. I've made this pattern out of thin air too. So I'm now a real sewer (is that a word?) too. I saw one online that I liked and it's from a Japanese craft book. It would cost $30+ to buy and ship from Japan, so I am guessing how this thing goes together. I made one out of paper first, and then some scrap, and next will come some bright yellow fabric I didn't even know I had. :D Yay for being a packrat.
For your info, I am NOT procrastinating grading papers. I'm being informative. :P

Sneaky

I've just put up one more skein in the shop. Catch it while you can!

The Update Is Up

We've updated. Faster than expected, so it's now up there. We didn't expect to have it up until 9, but I'm a fast little bunny.

Speaking of bunny, there is a skein called Bunny Nose. :D

Holy Crappola

I am amazed. :D I (by me I mean the shop, whateva...:p) am in the Holiday Shopping Guide for Lime 'n Violet. :D YAY. That's so cool. And I love The Black Apple. Her illustrations are so pretty. And I love lots and lots of those yarn shops. hehehehe

And a side note. I'm watching tv so this is why I'm off on this. What is up(!) with the Aero Garden thing? It looks like it would make some icky, fake veggies. I have seen them at Bed, Bath, and Beyond and just shake my head in wonder. And the next question is WHO has that much counter space? I mean really. Kitchen counters are worth their weight in gold. Never a kitchen built has had enough counter space. Never.

And another thing. I am sick of ghetto little girls with nasty attitudes. Head snappin', lip smackin', nasty nasty comments. I ask them to sit down and be quiet. You'd thought I called them some name or something. No, just sit down, shut your mouth, get to work. This is after I've asked them at least 20 times to do their work. I mean jebbus. I'm just really sick of working with kids who don't care, who won't ever be more than they are today because they just don't have the drive or anything near a goal.

GROWL.

And boy are they gonna be angry when they fail in a week and a half. :P

About that Update

You know, life is a funny thing. Well, in recent months, not so funny haha, but funny all the same. I know that we all talked that game about an update on the 30th, but it's the 30th. I only have 2 skiens preped at this moment. We had a cone issue, but got it fixed. Now I'm winding my little heart out at home when I get home from work. Maybe we can shoot for next weekend, if the weather holds. Last update was killed with rain (no drying!). I have some new dyes, so I'm going to try and NOT dye any oranges this time. There are still a few oranges in the shop, so orange isn't the color of the moment. :D

In knitting news, I've finished a ton!! of projects. I have finished the scribble scarf from MDK (finally), a camo scarf for my brother for Christmas (UGLY!!! Boys are weird), and other things that I can't remember. I think I've finished a new pair of socks since I've posted FOs.

I've had ADD like whoa of late because I don't want to knit anything. I want to knit EVERYTHING. :P I've started the branching out lace scarf with some yummy yarn that is a mystery to me. I got it in with a number of packages when I was swapping and sending gifts to friends and getting gifts from friends. I have NO idea who gave it to me, who dyed it, what the type of wool...nada. But boy it's pretty.

I'm knitting another pair of socks (purple, what else?) from Francis Patrick Sales on EBAY. I heart this yarn. I accidentally ordered sport weight and I don't like it as much as I like the sock/shawl fingering weight from them. I'm using up the purple because I have a skien of "bluebell" that I want to design some socks for it. I have been looking at lace patterns to try. Nothing has blown me down so far.

In the cone issue I had, I made some short skiens and dyed them up for myself. Bet you can't guess what color? Purples. I used some Dylon and used a base purple. I added navy to it for a darker, some pink for a redviolet, and mixed my own for a purpley pinky bluey. :P Those may be the next on the needles. I know, I have a problem with purples. I have lived in purple rooms in my lifetime. :D

Thanksgiving was nice, spent time with my family. My boy had to work Black Friday and the Saturday afterwards. He was not happy. 4am is not a wake-up time. It's a bedtime. :P I was very proud of myself though, I didn't eat myself sick. I ate until I was full and then stopped. I loved my aunt's chocolate poundcake. MMMM.

I think that's all I can dump from my brain at this point.

Chum Cha Chum Chum Chum.....

That's right, we at The Fuzzy Peach are going to be featured on Lime N Violet's Daily Chum Blog!

*happy muppet dance*

I love me some Lime N Violet, so this couldn't be cooler. Well, maybe if LnV bought a skien a piece, that would rock. But really. COOL.

So go check out the chum, it's full of great stuff and now, us! Well, not right now. But sometime soon.
And, if you've been waiting to buy, go quick because tons o' people read that thing, so if they likes, it may be gone.

Life Takes Visa

Or Vodka. Which is it?

Things have been harried as of late. Last week was homecoming from Hades. My kids have lost their minds. And it's taking them a long time this week to find them and get them back in their heads again. Jeesh. Feels like the first week of school all over again.

But I'm living and breathing and working through it. Or rather, they are working through it. Quizes abound, holding them accountable for everything I've said. :D I'm evil, or so my kids think.

Had a kid tell me that if I didn't write up so many kids I'd be teacher of the month (teachers vote for this award). I looked at him with my eyebrow cocked and said "Does it look like I care?"

No was the obvious answer there. :P

I've been knitting like whoooa lately. I've finished a pair of socks in plain st. st. feets with 3x3 rib legs. Now I'm past the heel on a pair on a pair of double eyelet rib socks from WendyKnits! I've only been working on those a week. Talk about speed, baby! :) I'm happy with the yarn I used, doesn't make the pattern stand out, but it is beautiful to me. Like Darla to Spanky. It's spinning bunny in paintbox from Ebay. Love! It is wool tencel. mmmmm So soft and shiney.

I've been a little miffed with Blogger of late. I've tried 5 times to post to a blog I belong to for Sock A Month and it won't let me. Not even just text. Grump.

But I'm happy it's Friday. Praise be.

October Update at The Fuzzy Peach

It's October 1st and fall is upon us, even here in Georgia the temperatures are beginning to dip slightly, a welcome respite believe us. Fall also means the creation of warm handcrafted goodies is gearing up and, most importantly, The Fuzzy Peach has UPDATED! 

Yeah some believed it would never happen again, like the dinosaurs :P Yet here we are. Getting quality yarn blanks took a little longer than anticipated, so our September update got pushed. The good news is we have enough to supply a couple of updates so our next one should be on schedule barring any catastrophic events. For any of you who may have been champing at the bit to get some more yarn-y goodness or checking our shop with religious fervor we sincerely apologize for the lag. To make it up to you good people, for the first 24 hours (10-1 7pm - 10-2 7pm EST Daylight Savings) ALL our yarns will be a dollar off. Thats right, consider it more money in your wallet, a treat from the Wendy's dollar menu, or "free" shipping on that second skein. However you slice it, you're saving a little money. You could call this offer semi-exclusive since, unfortunately for us, we won't be indexed into Etsy's search pages for a "few days," so a direct visit to our store is the only way to take advantage of this discount. And as always we encourage you to tell your friends and link us in your journal/blog. 

Also, we like to have fun so for all the game-of-chance fans out there, you can now be part of the Peachy Lottery. How to play- just purchase a skein from the shop and check the ballband when you recieve your order. If you find a multicolored froggy stamp on the reverse, then its 1/2 off any one skein with your next order, yeah thats right, you heard it from the horse's mouth, 1/2 OFF. Go on and play, we haven't crunched the numbers but are pretty confident your odds of winning this lotto are far greater than hitting the Powerball, after all 11 skeins verses 54 numbers, give or take :) Anyway enough about us, follow Elberta (our banner sheep) or click on your favorite yarn to browse our new selection (you know you wanna :)

A Letter From My Day

Dear Dr. Angelou, September 13, 2007

My name is L and I am a new teacher. I would like to thank you personally for your inspiration to me. I read your autobiographical novel, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings when I was a teenager in high school. The influence of Mrs. Flowers was astoundingly powerful. I was assigned a collage depicting her and I spent hours pouring over magazines, finally settling on the one African American face I could find in a white household, Vivica Fox from a Cosmo ad. I scoured, searching for flower prints and white gloves. Today, as a teacher of English I have made the same assignment. However, my students were less moved by her than I had been.
Speaking of my students, that is the actual reason I write to you today. I have no idea if this letter will make it through your publisher to your actual flesh hands, but I write with hope. It is a thing with wings after all, so maybe I have a chance.

I wanted to tell you of my experience this August and September. I am a first year teacher, I am Caucasian, I teach in an almost entirely African American school system. The community that the school is in is predominantly native sons and also African American by a vast majority. This information is vital to understand the unique situation in which I have found myself. I taught this book to my tenth grade literature class, we read almost the entire novel, cover to cover. We talked about your experiences and the difficulties that faced young black Americans at that time in history. I spent a great deal of time discussing the historical context, taking the words out of my mouth and putting them back in Dentist Lincoln’s, the used-to-be Sherriff’s, and all his ilk. I warned them when difficult things were coming. And we read. Aloud. All of us. As a group, as a community.

Today I have been shouted down as a racist. For teaching black students a book by a black author in hopes to inspire, elevate, and educate their lives.
As an educator, as a fellow human, this pained me greatly. I cried upon hearing that almost all of my kids feel that I am racist. For reading them a novel, for bringing light and literature into their lives. For teaching.

Overall, I suppose I write to you in search of succor. In search of an understanding ear. I don’t necessarily expect any response, but I feel so strongly about this that I am seeking outlet. Today at school I was confronted by two administrators who told me of my kids’ feelings. I felt terribly singled out and unfairly used. And I guess this is going to serve as a great learning experience for me. I have never before felt so aware of the color of skin that I was in, looking into a group of brown faces that hated me, standing whitely at the front of a classroom. Perhaps I should just chalk this up to a learning experience, to knowing better next time. But I can’t because I had the most pure intentions for teaching this novel. I didn’t want to be another teacher teaching the cannon of dead white men with money. I hated that cannon when I was a student, felt it stranglingly exclusive.

As I am still reeling from this experience, I apologize if I meander. I was told not to teach your novel next semester. I’m “putting out fires” so that they do not become “forest fires.” I just wonder what my objective in the classroom is to be from here out. For these reasons, and others too numerous and confusing to name, I felt compelled to write to you today, and I thank you for your time and attention.


Most Respectfully Yours,
L

The Fuzzy Peach is Heating Up

From the good folks at




Hello faithful customers and fans! Never fear, like Count Dracula, we're not dead. Our hiatus and unfortunate update postponement was due in large part to the relocation of our shop, our home, new jobs, and well...life in general. I'm sure ya'll understand. On to what you've been waiting to hear- with the unbearable heat of another Georgia summer slowly giving way, we're gearing up for a large update with some fun discounts, although the date is a little fuzzy at this point (yeah the pun was intended:). Also, we've recently procured some new tools that will greatly speed our dye process (in theory).

In the meantime, there are still a couple of skeins left to be purchased if you can't wait for the next update to get your fix. These listings won't last much longer though and once they're gone, they're gone for good (ok, ok, if they aren't sold you're bound to see them again:) So go forth and purchase!

Still Alive

It's almost midterm. Lord help me! :P I'm still alive. I've had to boys raise their hand at me this week, as though to strike. Two. Not even in my class, I was covereing. I think I wrote up 15 today. Not kidding. Gave out at least 4 zeros for talking during a reading quiz. Why is it that they think they can talk through it (when I say again and again that if you talk, you are cheating, and that gets a zero!) and not get a zero?

In knitting content, I'm chevroning a scarf from my old sock yarn scraps and a sock yarn I bought off Ebay when I first started knitting. I hated it and decided I'd never make socks from it. And I'm making a pair of self-stripey socks from some Sockotta (sp?) from secret pal. It's going to be plain jane. But the chevron rocks! It's so pretty with the melting colors.

And I've joined an S n B here in Col. I've only made it to one meeting because they are on Mondays and Mondays have been rough. It's like my kids forget how to work school over the weekend. :P

I hope to get some yarn with my paycheck at the end of this week and start the Fuzzy Peach back up. I've been itching to dye some more. Maybe I can express some of my issues in yarn colors. Just hope they won't all turn out red and/or black! :P hehehe

Thanks for your kind comments and your support. I'm keeping on at this thing, I've come too far for a bunch of teenage punks to beat me now. I've won against better (and worse!). :D

School Day Blues

Dear Lord,
Please give me strength today. Help me remember why I am here and what my purpose in life is, even if I have to do a few things outside of my normal job. Like stop fights outside my classroom door between two ex-lovers. He a large, rude, illeducated individual with a temper who has already told me to "f" myself when asking him to please pull his pants up. She a larger girl, hard to control physically, streaming tears. Lord help me remember not to strike out at these foolish children as they ruuun to the door to see what's going on and then spill into the hall, moving me physically. Lord, help me not to have a heartattack while screaming at them to sit down, shut up, and get to reading-there-is-a-quiz-when-you-walk-in-tomorrow. Lord. Help them to control their emotions as they come back in my classroom, snapping at each other, an almost start a fight in my room. And Lord, please don't let me see a day like today again for a long time.
Oh, and it's picture day. They are in the halls, being called by homeroom to go to the gym and get snapped. Teaching is futile today. The only class I accomplished even a small thing was first with my nightmare of a tenth grade class.
Lord, give me strength not to snap on my fourth block. And give them the wisdom not to try me today. I wrote two up yesterday, and I'll do the same today if need be.

Actual Knitting Content Ahead

Finished my July pair, nothing special, just k3p1 rib on the leg. My brain needed a rest and an easy project while we worked on getting real jobs and moving. :D Here they are, a prayer knit into every stitch.

Specs: 2 socks magic loop, US 1s Knitpicks classic needles
Online Supersocke in ??? can't find the ballband since the move, got the yarn from a SP on LiveJournal, thanks Amanda!
Started in June and finished on July 12

Forgive the bad pic, had to tweak the colors to let you see the socks at all. It rains all the time here, or so it would seem.

And, a secrit project for a seekrit pal. This pal doesn't know I have a blog, so I'm safe. Plus, by the time she sees it, she'll know my name. :D

A Stash Bunny!

Bunny outside


Bunny in the stash basket

Le bunny has cedar bits inside him. So you can sit him in your stash and he'll keep the buggies away. I made him with leftover sock yarn bits and I dum dum dummm, crocheted him. :D I've gone over to the dark side, and it's not so dark. I loved making the little guy. I could see my crocheting more stuffies in the future, not so much for the knitting of them. Crochet is forgiving, you can just make it up as you go, sorta. And I just kinda made this guy up. I based him off a lion brand pattern, best bunny, but I don't follow written directions worth a crap. I looked at the pic and made it look like that, even if I didn't so much follow what the words said.

And now I'm on to another pair of socks. This time on 2s. Whoa these babies fly. I'm using the Broadripple pattern from Knitty and some yarn my SP9 sp sent me, thanks TeAntae! I know you meant it to be a scarf, I just couldn't bring myself to not make socks out of it, it's my frist Claudia Handpaints. I lOOOOve this yarn. It's sooo smooshie.

I don't think so

I just read the Yarn Harlot's blog for today and I'm very angry. I wrote both of our Senators as soon as I read the story. You should. If you don't know what I'm talking about go here and read this. http://www.yarnharlot.ca/blog/ I could stroke. I hope this guy gets raped some time in the future and has to describe the event as sex. And I cannot believe this. We have to edit our language because some words are too inflammatory? How can someone be accused of rape and not have this charge read in court? You can't use the word he's accused of...umm...hello!? Next thing murderes are simply going to be, I dunno, disgruntled humans who poke other humans? You know, with sharp pointy things.

So go, speak out, let them hear from you. You can no longer find the Lincoln Nebraska judicial site. It gives you a 404 not found error. Soo, it looks like folks have been hitting Mr. Judge Butthead pretty hard. I wish they'd hit him with something harder, like sense.

I'm it, April 9

Here is something cool, I was tagged by LaurieC

The rules: Go to Wikipedia and type in your birth month and date (mine is Sept 4th), then post 3 events, 2 births and a holiday. Then tag 5 others, I'm not much for tagging, but I pick Mrs. B and anyone else who'd like to play along. :D


Events:
193 - Septimius Severus is proclaimed Roman Emperor by the army in Illyricum (in the Balkans). [Totally thinking of Snape when I read this one!]

1413 - Henry V is crowned King of England. [Love ya Shakespeare and your Historical self! I read Henry IV and V in my Shakes II class]

2003 - 2003 invasion of Iraq: Baghdad, Iraq falls to American forces. [Thanks Dubya, we're still stuck over there]


Births:

Back

Yep. Tha's me. I'm back in the world of the connected. We've been online since sometime last week, but I've been in hiding. I guess I'm just spending my time wallowing in this nice new apt. It is a castle man. We have SOOO much more room (we've already filled it up to the brim and have a just purchased coffee table under our bed). Don't ask me how the world we lived in a studio, I can't even begin to tell you. But we're back, unpacked, and settled in.

The boy cooked some yummy salmon tonight, our first real, not a hot dog or sammich meal. :P We have eaten a LOT of Fox's pizza. We can't afford it, but we did it all the same. This not having a job thing and thereby no paycheck and no money thing is for the birds. The ones who aren't afraid to eat out of garbage cans or the gutter. :P

And The Fuzzy Peach is open again, buy it up so I can ruin our new kitchen with the dyes. :D I just can't stand to have white counter tops and a spotless floor!

Radio Darkness

Captain's Log, 6-27-2007:

As we approach the slingshot around the moon in approach to the asteroid, we will experience radio darkness, we will not have contact with either ship.

Yep, tomorrow is D-day here, we're movin' the furniture out of this apt. and moving into his mom's until the 3rd of July (we'll move into our Columbus, Ga. apt that day). We may or may not have internet for a week or two.

I may be able to get back online in the am, but consider this my last transmission.

Signing off.

Finally, Some KNITTING

So I have been telling ya'll I've been knitting, but finally proof! I give you my June socks for SAM3 knit with Lorna's Laces Shep. Sock in mountain creek (a birthday gift from a friend). I did my usual toe up with magic cast on, magic loop, two socks at a time. These don't fit so well, but it could be my feet are funky in the summer. I know my hands swell in the heat, my feet may have the same reaction. I hope they fit during the winter weeks.


I sorta used this pattern, but I didn't like the diamonds after the first one I knit. And I was all nutty about the ktb marching up the front and I think it kinda looks like a skinny snake now, starting with the diamond head at the toe and going up to the cuff.


I don't like them soo much, but I hated knitting them. I love this yarn, but it's dark. Don't even think of k2tog or p2tog with this stuff, that willow green will make your eyes bleed trying to see in all but the brightest lights. I just worked with this yarn too long.

Remember that I started with the Pomatomus socks and couldn't turn the heel in this yarn, I'm just not that bright. Not right this second anyway, but I have evidence that I got that far before I ripppped right on out. This pic is terrible, the sun wasn't being nice, neither was the sock yarn/pattern/brain.


See, I can knit the stupid pattern, but I can't do the heel flap or pick up the gusset. I want these to be turned toe up by someone smarter than I am, I think Domesticat may have, but I'm not sure if that's Pom. or monkeys. Either way, I want to knit them. Yeah, it's Pomatomus.

In other news, the marathon of baby hat knits ended and I have 8 finished. I sent them out last weekish?? and I hope Sheri gets them before she goes on vacation. Here they are in all their glory, I did do individuals with Julian, but I'm too tired and covered in newsprint from packing for out move to Columbus that I just don't have it in me to edit and load those bad boys. Maybe for a future post.


Off to pack more boxes and perhaps fall asleep on a pile of newspapers.

I was working on this long big post, and even got it posted. But the pics were too big and everythign got all wonky and then it died. So I give you this small pic of Passion (now sold) wound into a center pull ball. I think it is very sexy. :D Maybe this will give you lurkers an urge to buy from The Fuzzy Peach. The others should wind up just a sexily (not really a word, but go with me).



*Blogger hates me and my photos. They keep blowing up when I blog them. GRrrr. This photo is only like 300 pix at it's largest. Rawr*

Fuzzy Update

It's live, and it could be coming to a browser near you (assuming you follow this link)

that's right as advertised on Beneath the Fiber Moon by none other than lovely Jessica (episode 27) .

It's been a few weeks now since the Fuzzy Peach hit the street and we've moved some yarn. However, we, the faithful owners, are relocating to a bigger city (eek!) and we need to get this stuff out of our hands and into yours. (read: I don't want to move this yarn :P) So I'm posting the little mini guy below to show you folks out there in blogland what we have left to get your paws on.

Etsy Buy Handmade thefuzzypeach

For our customers to see our next update tenatively scheduled for August, we need to sell these skeins so that we can buy more yarn with the profits, duh. For our next endeavor we'll be using a new base yarn that will be more substantial and hold up to Soviet missle attacks and nuclear holocaust (it has nylon). Since that's a bit nicer and more hardy, we have to shell out more for the stuff. Also, when we get this sold, we may be bringing you some cool promotions in the next update. Perhaps some discounts, perhaps some freebies. Freebies are goooood. :D

And to soothe your soul about the purchase, just think, I'm going to be a teacher (high school) so every dollar you spend here supports education! I realize that it probably isn't in your community, but still, it supports education (rationalize). And for the handfull that may be holding out for that "going out of business" fire sale, not gonna happen because I'll knit it up myself! :P

Remember if you love us, blog us!

Newsy News

So I have had some wondermus news for a while, but never had the time to post here, not really.

I have a job for next year, I'll be teaching in Talbot County at the high school. :D And, we have a two bedroom apt. on hold for us to move in on July 5th. And, today the boy got a call from Aflac to do a preemployment screening thing. You know, pee in a cup, do computer tests, see if he's nutzo. So the world is looking up for now. :D I'm very happy and things are just coming together. We're buying furniture like mad trying to fill the new apt. (the living room alone is almost the same size of the entire apt we live in now: just about 1 ft. shorter and 5 ft. skinner). We bought a king sized bed today and it has one seXy headboard. It's like from the 60's or 70's, it reminds me of the kind of bed my Granny and Papa had, except a little tackier. hehe

And so I am packing, not knitting. I knit 8 baby hats for the Loopy Ewe's Q2 challenge and sent them off this am. I also finished my moutain creek socks. I hated knitting them. I think I worked with that yarn for too long, trying too many different patterns. Finally, I found one that was ok but by the end of the thing it looked nothing like the pattern, I just used a few of the pattern elements and repeated them a bunch of times. I am also working on a next pair of socks, this in On Linie (??) in a very springy color. They are pretty, but due to short time and poor lighting, I cut the yarn in the wrong spot so they are two totally different socks. Ah, well. Can't have exact twins each time. I was going to frog and try to start over with the same repeat, but I'm not so sure I'll have enough yarn, it said it was 100g which is usually enough, but I dunno. Don't always trust what I read on ballbands that are printed in different languages. :P

Other than that, things are just about packing, cleaning, painting, sanding, panicing about getting out of here the 30th and not being able to move in there until the 5th of July. We have to move to his mom's for a week. :/ I'd rather just move once and be done with this mess.

Example Sock

Mrs. B suggested that I knit up a sock to show how looovely my colors are, and I was waay ahead of her. I turned these babies out last week (ignore the one with the ugly color changes at the top, I ran out of my yarn and had to sub this really multi-color, tried to cut the ugly out, but I got tired) and they are so just the thing for my bear, Julian. He rocks these socks folks!
Work it! :P

And here is a zoom version. I cut most of the ugly out of this picture so you can't see the orange, brown, and purple that I bound off with! :D Like I said, I got very tired, these are some small socks. I had only a 9g skein (like my heel or toe skeins) and managed to get one full baby sock and one baby sock up to the end of the heel. I had to pick up the new yarn after I had all my heel stitches done. I would assume that a tiny skein would work a full set of grown up toes or heels.

And I have to tell you, even though I have a stake in these yarns, I loved working with it. It was soft and sqoooshy. And it knit up into a nice fabric on size 1s (US) and I had a ball making such tiny little socks.

As you can see, the colors just blend and flow together in such a beautiful way. :D I think that this would be the way that Passion and Shades of Kermit would knit up, esp. Shades of Kermit because the colors are all in the same family. Passion is going to have some red punches in the darker background. It's the one I most want to keep for myself and knit into some cool socks. :D

Sick

Yep, that's me. Coughy, sneezy, about an inch from death. Or at least that's how I've been feeling since Monday. Lower than a worm's belly. I'm thinking it has something to do with being in my mom's house all last weekend (she smokes!) and then seeing her friend who was also sick. I think I got her mega virus thing. I wish I could give mine away now. If you want a nasty little cold bug, got one, cheap!

In other news, The Fuzzy Peach opened on Friday, selling three skeins in less than 10 hours. I thought it was a great sign of quick sells to come. No such luck. Rawr. I really would like this stuff to sell, I need the cash flow, plus...the longer it sits in my house, the more it's likely not to ever leave. The stash has been eyeing it greedily and I'm not sure how much longer I can keep it from consuming all 7 skeins that are left.


And you wanna know what's better than silk yarn on a 75% sale? Cream cheese stuffed croissants. MMMMM. The Atlanta Bread company (and I'm sure Panera and the likes) sell them, and I've only had one recently. I loved it to death and wanted more (the closest one is like an hour and a half away) so I decided to make my own.

What you need:
Croissants in a can (a la the dough boy)
1 bar of cream cheese softened (Philly baby!)
1/2 cup sugar (pure bliss)
1 teaspoon vanilla
2-3 tabs melted (liquid) butter (I just eyeball this stuff folks!)
Basting Brush thingy
Flour
Rolling Pin
Flat surface to roll on
Pan
Oven

To Make:
Preheat the oven like the package says.
Blend softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla in small bowl.
Take your croissants and separate them out, I roll mine flatter and wider than they come. Fill the center and a little down the legs of the croissant with the cream cheese yumminess. Roll that puppy up and place it on the pan. (You may want to PAM the pan first) I try cutting little slits in the top to give the filling a place to go, but it's easier said than done most times. When you have them all filled and rolled up, brush them with the melted butter. Then bake according to the little can.

YOU MUST WAIT TO EAT THESE. Cream cheese that's been in a 375 degree oven for 11 minutes is hotter than all fourty hell, ask me how I know. :D

My boyfriend says they'd be good with some cinnamon and sugar sprinkled on the top before the butter goes on, but I can't ever remember it!

I suggested the little bit down the legs of the croissant because if you don't you get these puffy little croissant pieces with no cream cheese, now who wants to eat that? :P Also, note...I have NO idea how to roll these suckers up to make them look right, I just wrap the dough around the blob in the middle and hope for the best!

Good luck and Enjoy!

Don't forget to shop THE FUZZY PEACH! You knowww you NEED more sock yarn...muuhahahahaha. :P

Green Knickers

I wound up here through a number of different blogs, beginning with Soule Mama ->No Impact Man ->The Compact ->Comment on a post. Anyway, this site sells nice panties. Nice in that they don't kill the environment, hurt their laborers, rip off the producers, you know, nice.

And while I'm all for this, these panties are a bit strange. :D Click the link and see what I mean. http://www.greenknickers.org/Knickers/OtherKnickers.html
The first row, Sensual Nature, is interesting. The one that changes to cover the Earth in water is the one that kills me. I'm all for this place and environmentalists and communes and save a tree, but I don't know that I'd wear panties that said Global Warming across the sides. Maybe I'm just strange. But they are cute panties and they are funny (Eat organic on panties sends a very naughty message!).

Anyway, random rant/comment on random item. :D Enjoy your week.

And don't forget about my Etsy store. Only three skeins sold so far, so your favorite may still be avaliable. :D

The Fuzzy Peach is Live

We're up and running! I began posting at 12am and have finished, so they are ready for your purchase. Everything is up. I know it's like waiting for Christmas morning, so sneak out of bed early and peek. Dig in and enjoy.
