But I enjoyed every second!
About Me
- luganknitter
- Illinois, United States
- I am a band director at five private schools in Kankakee. Music is a big part of my life, but knitting and crafting are right up there too. I own a ridiculous stash of yarn, which I am slowly using... and replacing with better yarn... I tend to knit and crochet a lot, in class, out of class, while watching tv, while driving, pretty much constantly. I have been involved with crochet romantically for 15 years, and involved with knitting for 11 years. They sometimes get jealous of each other. I think its funny. Along with knitting and crocheting, I quilt, spin (drop spindle) and design patterns!!

I bought a house!
I took the next big step in my life, buying my first house.
I could not have done it without the financial help from my parents, they made the downpayment possible.
I am so happy! My first week in the house went perfectly.
Officially one week in my house!
Things I have learned/realized/come to love-
1. I can wake up an hour early and walk around, not having to worry about the people below me.
2. I don't have to wake up early because of the people above me.
3. I HAVE A FREAKING ICE MAKER IN MY FRIDGE!
4. I can decorate, paint, and do my own gardening. (though the weather has not been outdoor friendly since I have mo
I am having a blast. For the first time in a year and a half, I had friends visit me. Every day this past weekend friends were coming over, hanging out, and crafting with me. (if you saw where I lived last, you would understand how no one came to see me because they felt unsafe!)
We crafted all weekend!
This is one of my friends, Jen (who was actually a senior in my band class last year, but is now a great friend!) She came over to help me decorate letters!
Lastly- My kitten touched grass for the first time in her whole life this week! She had a blast exploring!

5. I have a bathroom drawer, that has a plug in it. So I can plug in my hair dryer, and not have the cords everywhere. EPIC.
6. During the summer, I can do private lessons in my air conditioned kitchen, instead of Mac's sweat chambers. (and Parents can read magazines in my living room!)
7. I can do laundry without it getting stolen.
8. I HAVE A CRAFT ROOM ALL TO MYSELF. (Well... the whole house is all to myself, but you get the point)
9. I can park my car in a garage, and not get rained on.
10. I actually like unpacking boxes.
11. I have a dishwasher. Nuff said.
12. and Lastly! There are no creepy guys that stare into my apartment, and no ganstas rapping in the hallways.

We painted them black first, then stenciled on bright colors.
Look at how pretty they turned out!
A great big "MAKE STUFF" for my craft room wall!
I also have time now to relax a little and knit! I have updated my shop with many items- feel free to stop by and check them out! Winter is finally starting!
