Need to rob a bank!

No seriously though how expensive is yarn? I was looking in my Ravelry library today & am astounded at just how much money I would need to find from god knows where to make everything I have in there. I am currently broke. broke, broke so am knitting shawls with yarn from my stash & am most diassapointed in the way it is decreasing.  I think when I get back on my feet financially I am going to try dying my own, not to sell but just for me. I also think it will have therapeutic values alongside my knitting to help my Bi-Polar. It's like the writing I do in here, I refuse to call this a Blog as then I would be expecting people to read it, I don't I just like to empty my head of thoughts and ideas & this way is much cheaper than using paper :). I have also been given an old sewing machine that I need to spend a couple of days cleaning up as it has lain unloved for a few years.  My intention is to make myself 2 dresses for 2 wedding's I have a day apart later this year as cheap as possible without them looking it. I have knitted a lovely cardigan that will go with both and I have shoes a'plenty so it's all looking rather positive (in my head). I am also making the gifts for both weddings too so even more money saved & I think more personnel. So that's  what's been going on in my life & in my head for last coupla days :D

Holy Mygody

Phewie what a terrible month March was in terms of boring things like the house! we had a major disaster that could have been fatal thanks to the asswipes that are Scottish Power rigging up my electrics wrong. We ended up with no electricity for 2 days & no heating/ hot water for 6.....There was snow on the ground so needless to say I was not a happy Mamma. My boy was shipped off to his nana while me & the big fella soldiered on. All the food had to be chucked out of the fridge & freezer (I had only done that weeks shop 2 days before) as said Fridge freezer blew up, as did my washing machine, cooker, microwave & big fella's Lap Top! Sooooooooooooooooooooooooo that was fun NOT.  They have compensated us replaced the broken things apart from the Lap Top which is still away getting fixed but my gadz it was super stressful.  Thank THE baby Jebus for my knitting which I have been doing in earnest thanks to my amazingly handsome nephew deciding to arrive 6 weeks before his due date.  He was a little small just over 5lbs but no major health issues. He is a clever boy who was allowed home yesterday as he is feeding from Mamma & gaining weight <3.  So yeah knit, knit, knitting teeny tiny bebe things is what I have been doing. good times after the bad. I also managed out twice last month which is good going for me seeing as the crazy is still lurking & I am not quite up to normal health wise, but it was amazing seeing my friends again & I was horrified to realise it had been almost a year since I had seen some. I have tea & cake planned for tomorrow with another Pregnant mamma & a play on Friday night with the girls to look forward to also.  My wee dude is away to Portugal on his holibags with the grandparents for Easter, so apart from one major clean up mainly the aforementioned wee dude's bedroom I am going to sit knitting till my heart is content. I have KAL starting next week for a Lace scarf with some of the FB knitting mamma's which should be fun & I have also sold some of my stash to fund more yarn purchases :)
