More knits off the needle for 2010

I finished up Lucas' socks today and last week I finished a scarf I was working on. Now working on the second sock for a pair for me :). Feels good to get some projects finished!

Another winner winner chicken dinner

I tried the recipe for Pioneer Woman's Cheesy Chicken Spaghetti this week and it was a big hit in our house. Only changes I made were to use Mezi Penne instead of spaghetti. Delicious!

Friday

Busy productive week.

I was able to get some visits in which equals money in the paycheck. Now I just have to finish the documenting and get it all turned in by Monday.

I sent out my resume to a company (fingers crossed) and took initiative to generate more visits, which again..equals money in my paycheck.

Set up a table in the living room for games/cards/drawing/etc. and it has been used so very much. I wish I'd thought of it sooner. The boys and I are using it a lot! Pics to follow at some point. I've been soundly beat at Uno more times than I can count this week.

Cooked new recipes and managed to keep the dining room table cleared off so we could eat as a family every night.

Lots and lots of knitting. Finished up one sock of Lucas' and almost finished the second.

Got great news that my son is coming home soon.

All in all..a good week.

Couple things I'm loving

I was gifted with The Pioneer Woman's Cookbook for Christmas and I am loving it. I've made 3 or more recipes out of it already and I'm very happy with the results. I'm also loving all the inspiration over at www.asoftplacetoland.net. Man..I lose track of time over there and get tons of inspiration for things I want to do.

First knitting off the needles for 2010

Here is a picture of the 3 hats I knit for the boys. I had intended them for Christmas but just didn't get them done in time. This is a great, simple pattern that works up very quickly. You can find it here http://a-friend-to-knit-with.blogspot.com/2009/12/saturday.html
My knitting focus this year is finishing what has already been started.
