14 days till the wedding

At this point not only am I freaking out a little bit but I'm also super happy. Everything is set pretty much. all that is left is picking stuff up closer to the venue. Sorry I've been gone for a while. Of course work picked up and due to my busy time kicking in. It's been fun. Also I'll be working from home in a couple of weeks! I'm super excited about that. I'll be able to get into a more healthy routine. ;-)
I've even got my home work space ready!! I'm that excited! One of my sisters has moved back to Birmingham. My sister Pam and her fam is back! I am just beside myself so happy that I don't have to wait for them to come back to town to visit or drive over 3 hours to get to her.
I've promised pictures to ya'll of the shawl. I've got them!!!
But they aren't the best. I don't have anyone here that can take a pic at the moment so I took pics of it on the couch. Yep. Couches come in handy. ;-)


I also have another crafty something that I made for the wedding but I'm waiting to show you all.
He he he Mostly because I want it to be a surprise to everyone. Melissa already knows because she is a cross stitcher and you know I was soo excited about this one. I've not cross stitched anything in years! Except this one. :-) So I'll post it here first right when I set up for the wedding on Saturday 4/30. :-)
Yay!!!
Ok I've got to clean so I'll talk with ya'll more later!!! I promise! I plan and will do a full blown wedding blog.

NCIS I really need you to take out my cats before I do

I get a call from Sym. She got home 5 minutes b4 me.
Sym: Mom I think the cats got into your yarn
Me: (I start crying inside and get all panicky) OMG! What does the yarn look like? Is is itchy or thin?
Sym: It's multi colored thick and scratchy.
Me: Ok that's the patons' wool. I finished that project a while back. I can forgive them.
Sym: There's also some light blue multi yarn out too.
Me: (sinking feeling coming back) Crap Ok I'll look at it when I get home.

Prime Suspect: Knitting Terrorist Izzy

I get here and I find my loving comfort shawl that was stored in a gallon sized zip lock bag in the hallway and NOT in my yarn bag where I left it this morning
.
Me: F&@K!!!!! Where is he? I'm going to kill that fucking cat! (sorry folks bad bad words  fly from these lips when yarn is involved)
Sym: I don't think he did it
Me: Oh really? So you those other times that knitting fucking terrorist cat chewed through my bags didn't count?
Sym: Oh yeah. Yeah Izzy really does like plastic.

F*@K F*@K F@*K F@*K
I I can't talk about it any more. I'll let the pictures tell you.


He was determined to snap and eat my yarn. So determined that he pulled the end of my knit picks options needle join. SERIOUS determination to piss me off.


And of course the infamous yarn snap


At this point in the game (I was knitting the edging) I don't know what the hell to do.
Should I try to salvage it or do I say fuck it and trash the whole thing? I'm all about character in my knitting but this jus reminds me of how much I hate my damn cat now.

He's scared and hiding in Sym's room. Johnny came home and was wondering why there wasn't any cat blood splattered everywhere. yeah. I'm just waiting to catch that little fucker in the act.
yeah.
sighs.......

Update 2/10/11: Sighs... I can't kill them. Neither one no matter what the hell they may do to my knitting. Just look at how Izzy is tickling his nose with his tail and Darky is covering her eyes with her paws. No way. They are too cute. And I love them too much even if they seek to ruin my knitting or piss me off.

They are too f-ing cute!
I was able to salvage the shawl and I'm knitting on. It's not too bad. He didn't damage the actual knitting. He just snapped the feed line which is common Izzy behavior.
I'm brining it to work with me just in case though.
