Not So Great Start To The Day:)~

Last night I forgot to refill the humidifier in our bedroom so I woke up to nose bleeds and Tom woke up with a headache.The Squadron Easter Egg Hunt is today wanted so much to take the girls but they have colds and are miserable and everytime I eat I get stomach cramps and feel sick to my tummy so we decided the Easter Egg hunt is just not meant to be.Iam going to lay down and maybe later today I will feel up to knitting on my languishing Clapotis.lol

Dropped A Stitch;)

When we first learn to knit we are told be careful not to drop a stitch this is the horror moment when you realize you have a problem.lol well Iam knitting the Clapotis. free pattern Knitty.com and you are suppose to drop stitches.The first time you purposely drop a stitch is total trama then you realize your work is okay and keep going now Iam no longer tramatized and actually enjoying dropping stitches;)
