Whew! There were some issues happening at work that took all my time & energy this week (hence no blogging) but luckily it looks like the bad stuff went away so it's back to business.
It's been really cold here lately and thankfully I have another neck warmer completed. Doug likes it so much he agreed to model it:
No buttons. If I need to, I'll use a pin to keep it shut. This was a stash buster. I've had the yarn on my shelves for a couple of years and I'm happy to have used it. :)
Of course, if one rather largish ball of yarn gets used, a few more have to come & take it's place:
Courtesy of WEBS and their clearance sale, I bought several more balls of this & that for scarves & hats: Rowan Country, Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Chunky and Cascade's Revolution.
I'm not quite sure what I was thinking with those 2 balls of burnt orange, but I'm sure I'll find something to do with them. After all, they were on sale!
My school starts on Monday - I have my student teaching class at 5:30. Then Tuesday I have a class on teaching reading and Wednesday my 2nd gifted class starts with NMSU.
Next Saturday I'll be taking both of my final teaching tests - the NM Teacher's Competency and the Elementary Content. I'm rethinking taking both of them on one day, but at least I'll get them out of the way. Thankfully I can re-take as many times as it takes to pass, although hopefully it won't come to that. I won't be finishing my license until next Christmas so I have plenty of chances to retry. These aren't the sort of thing you can study for, at least that's what I've heard in talking with people who've taken them, butI do have a study guide for the teacher's competency one.
All this is my way of saying you might not be reading another entry until Sunday!
Gosh, I miss winter break!
Good luck with the tests! If they are anything like the texas ones, they are mostly common sense, though thay love those "choose the BEST answer" questions. Oh, and sometimes I had to read the question more than once to figure out what they were really asking. I'm sure you'll do great!

Good luck with the tests, and I hope you survive the crazy busy life you have these days! ;)

Girl, that's a crazy schedule you've got coming up. Good luck with the classes and the tests! I know you will ace both of them!

Ahhhh I just hit WEBS clearance too with a gift card I had gotten a while back. Fun stuff. I can't believe how far I made that money stretch, the sale was great! Great yarn you got there!
