Intarsia Shawl

Lately, I've been burning the candle at both ends and according to a very AWESOME lady, in the middle too.  I have something that many of you may know as...too many irons in the fire.  Yeah, imagine that.  I mean I do have 3 teenage boys, 3 dogs, 3 horses, 3 cats, try to maintain a house and a tiny little piece of dirt, not to mention a major hub in a great homeschool group.  Even if my candle weren't being burned from both ends and the middle, the fire would still be hot enough to at least make the wax soft. 

Here is one of my latest projects. 
Intarsia is a knitting technique used to create patterns with multiple colors.
My friend Jennifer (who is a knitting queen) hand died the yarn and gave it to me for this project.  How totally awesome is that?!

Lazy me

I know somebody somewhere thinks I sit around watching soap operas all day and that I never get anything done.  Well you know what? They are wrong.  Some days I never get anything done but it isn't because I sit around watching soap operas.  So...here is a little bit of what I do...
These things are not in order of how they were done.  Sometimes in a world of chaos, we just take things as they come, order or no order.

We moved a chicken house. 

I crocheted a few (at least 75) flowers for a wonderful person.

We found a corn snake and put him in a safer place.

I finally learned how to make a "tooth brush" rug.

I found a sunbeam in my yard.

We hiked 3.2 miles and swung on a vine.

We saw a Fox Squirrel on a post.

The dog even helped roll the kids around in the barrel.

We rolled our kids around in a barrel.

We stuffed a kid in a barrel.

Almost 50 pounds of sweet potatoes.

Me and the boys dug some sweet potatoes.

The SWAT bus I drove in the memorial day parade.

I bought the piece to fix the toilet.  I was going to fix it but

 my husband beat me to it.

 

The tiny screen from the cold water for the washing machine.

This is what came out of the screen.

This is what it should look like.  No sediments clogging it up.

I fixed the washing machine while Superman was out of town.  This was to fix the agitator.
