I'm home with the boys this week as my place of employment is on Winter Shutdown. What does this mean? Genuine, quality time with the boys... Or so it should have meant this. Unfortunately they both have wicked coughs and fevers (up to 102.6 so far) and the house is full of coughs and whines. Blah.
With their sickness, however, comes a bit of relaxation time for me. I've started a new knitting project, having finished Thing 1 and Thing 2's stockings just in time for Christmas. I told Dave I needed a break from stockings before I work on his, my and K's stockings for next Christmas. So, a blanket is what I'm working on now.
I've decided to start another (additional) blog, documenting my path of trying to save pennies I don't have in the first place. I've discovered quite a few ways to cut off dollars here and there, and having met some of the amazing people I have in the last month, I 've realized that more people than me need to know how to do the same.
For example, I bought an ORGANIC gallon of milk at the grocery for $1.67 (a non-organic gallon usually costs $2.99+) because it was about to hit the expiration date. With the rate we go through milk I knew the boys and I will drink it before it goes bad, so that 50% off purchase was AWESOME!
I'm searching for a USB cord to hook the camera up to the computer, and then I will share pictures of the stockings, and progress of the blanket... If you're interested, custom-made stockings will be posted for sale on etsy.com, however you will need to order early as they take about a month to knit. (No, I'm not dedicated to knitting every minute of my life.)
