I mentioned that a raise would also be nice, but was ultimately more concerned with the title, since I've been in this position for nearly 6 years and honestly believe I do more than my title/job description suggests. A week later he comes back to me with the results of my annual review. No title change, and less than a 3% increase. It was not a good day in LeahLand. That evening when I got home however, I came home to find my final package from my SP5! I'm going to have a neighbor come over and take a picture...

Husband broke it somehow... he doesn't know how. It just doesn't turn on anymore. Neither of the batteries will charge, and we've tried every outlet in the house. I can't even take pictures of my Itty! I have GOT to get a new camera. Even if it's just a cheapy. So, that being said, I have no pictures of the Charlotte's Web Shawl I made for Jill in Alpaca Cloud. But you can go and see the pictures she has on her blog! I have to admit it, I blew the budget. It's easy to do when you slowly purchase things little bits at a time... but...

I'm a purchaser, I buy computer equipment/software/licenses/maintenance for my company. To top it off, we're a trade association (read: not for profit organization). This means, when the end of the fiscal year rolls around I have to spend a lot of money so we don't have anything left over. This also means that if anyone has anything to order that they want to hit this year's budget the have to do it by the end of this month. Being the good little purchaser I am, I send out reminders in August and September reminding everyone...

Dude, I'm all about birthday week... I wonder what Husband and Itty have planned for tonight hehehe... last night it was my favorite (lemon merangue pie) and a scary movie - sans the Itty of course on the scary movie part. I PROMISE I'm going to post a real entry with some actual knitting content tomorrow. End of Fiscal Year be damned! http://ittybittyknitting.blogdrive.com/comments?id=58 http://ittybittyknitting.blogdrive.com/archive/57.html Tue, 16 Aug 2005 14:19:48 GMT Post: Completed Itty Cardi (pic) SP5 Gifties (pic) Needle Exchange Gifties (pic) Final Marker Mania Gifties (pic) A freakin entry So sorry I've been MIA. I AM still alive, I promise. Work life has been crazy as we head into the end of the fiscal year and outside of work life has been crazy trying to get my Creative Memories business up and running. Not to mention Itty turned 1 last week and I had a big ol' party for her. Back with a vengance soon... hopefully. http://ittybittyknitting.blogdrive.com/comments?id=57 http://ittybittyknitting.blogdrive.com/archive/56.html Mon, 01 Aug 2005 02:18:47 GMT Yeah, I just gotta get these pictures uploaded. No captions or explanations on anything, just gotta get them on, then I'll redo this post tomorrow. Okay, so this is my modest stash. Going through my yarn was kinda fun. Most of it is Itty specified as you'll see by all the pink and purple... then the majority of the neutral is dyeable wool: Finally! Pictures of my finished Crumpets dress. I didn't do everything I wanted to with this, I was seriously planning on knitting a little flower to put on it and some diaper covers that never actually came to fruition. Maybe one day......

I will be emailing them (contact@alphamom.com) my thoughts, which fall along similar lines as the following opinions, and perhaps other Mommas should too.

I've been sick, Itty has been teething, Husband and I have been fighting. I just don't wanna talk about it. As a result of it all very little knitting has been done. I do have a bunch of stitch markers I'm sending out today for various things. I also have the cardigan for Itty finished, just need to sew the sleeves on. Also, I need to post my answers for the Gimme Some Needle Exchange hosted by Catherine: 1. What do you like to knit or crochet? (socks, sweaters, etc.) My favorite thing to knit right now islace things. I really need to rest...

First, two more packages from SP! 1) the cutest knitting cards ever. I've already used the teeny tiny one for some stitch markers I gave to a local knitting friend. 2) Shrinky Dink Tags! They are so freakin cool... they have my button on them and say "Hand knitted especially for you by Leah M." Isn't that sweet? I want to make a Baby Bobbie Bear. Can I buy the pattern online? Finally, I'm so excited: We thought you'd like to know...

I think maybe so (expecially on my Xanga!) I have so much to catch you all up on, I promise promise promise to try and get pictures up here soon. Cozy: Cozy has, unfortunately, been put on hold for the time being. I love it, adore it and am not sad to make it last a little longer, but other things have kinda "come up." *heh* DB Cardigan: The cardigan I started for Itty is well underway. This became a priority when I realized that if I don't hurry she's going to outgrow it before I finish it! The body is complete and I'm about 2" into the arms. I...
