Right after this row

CONFESSION TIME. I asked what's the worst thing you've put off to finish just one more row. Here are some of my favorite answers from Facebook and Instagram that you - let's face it - we all do so we can just finish one more row...

Which ones are you guilty of?

1. Pee...
2. Do the dishes
3. Clean the kitchen
4. Make dinner and it usually ends with "we're doing take out tonight, kids!"
5. Feed my kiddos lol
6. Sleep
7. Haha, I have gotten DAYS behind in laundry because I'm wrapped in my crocheting!
8. On a very rare occasion my son might get to stay up late and watch movie so that I could finish my project
9. Change a poopy diaper... Backfired. She decided to take it off for me 
10. My poor kids have been late to soccer practice more than once
11. My son's bedtime has been pushed back more than once so I can keep hooking. Then my husband comes in and wonders why Monk is still awake. Oopsy!
12. When my oldest was a toddler I had just learned how to knit and crochet and was a bit obsessed. Apparently I told him "one more row" one too many times because he asked me for something and I responded "just let mommy finish one more row" and he started sobbing and yelling at me "Mom! Don't say bad words!" Oops!
13. Get the crying baby:/ (he wasn't crying that bad)
14. Eat
15. One more row.. being late to leave the house for appointments
16. Letting the dog inside while its raining.
17. Sex... 
18. I cut it pretty close on taking a movie back to the red box
19. Take dinner out of the oven:)
20. Let the dog out.
21. Writing a paper for a course that was due the next day! I was hoping creativity would help give me ideas on what to write.

And this is why I love you all. We're in our own separate little worlds, but we all end up doing the same weird things. All in the name of yarn and hooks.

play hard ... play hooky

What the WHAT...?

This week's contest is to explain what the heck is going on in this picture. It has nothing to do with my shop, but I knew you could have a LOT of fun with this one! Write a caption, thought bubble or story to try and explain what the heck is going on here. Leave the comment on my Facebook page and the comment with the most "likes" by Friday wins a $15 gift cert to Jamba Juice.

Of all the what-not-to-crochet pictures, this one is my favorite. The guy is just so happy to be covered in this weird crochet suit, triumphant almost, haha!

Inspiration Mondays: LOL

Another Monday and time for more of what inspires me. I've been moving and starting a new job which means I missed the last 2 Mondays. *Sad face* I missed you and I'm so glad the dust is starting to settle and I can start writing more! With moving an entire household comes multiple phone calls to utility companies (stay with me, I'm going somewhere with this..). I spent this morning on the phone with 6 different people from the same utility company trying to transfer, verify, bill, and remove fees. Needless to say, it hasn't been fun. So I decided to dedicate this Inspiration Monday post to the funny and weird things that people do with yarn. I'm a nerd at heart and live for the chance to laugh at myself (and other people, of course!) so I scoured the net finding yarny things for a much needed Monday LAUGH! Please to enjoy! :)
