• My job interview is today at noon.  I am pretty excited and a little bit nervous. 

  Because I spent most of last night obsessing about my resume, I did not get to editing the last pictures from camping....So, we are on a camping report hiatus until tomorrow.

  I got some knitting in yesterday. I am knitting Nautie the Nautilus from an old Knitty.  It is coming along pretty well.   It all started a while ago when Nature Boy went birthday shopping with his grammy.  He came back with a stuffed squid. (I know, only a tad bit strange, eh?)  The squid reminded him of his stuffed octopus and so he was having a cephalopod renaissance.  Then he said the fateful words, "I'd like to get a stuffed nautilus next."

  Well, wouldn't you know, when I saw that nautilus pattern on Knitty two years ago, I made sure to print it off because I knew I would have to knit it some day!   I was thrilled to tell NB I had just the pattern to knit him a nautilus.  It was what I took to knit on camping.  I do have one picture of it when I was first starting the curling shell.

  

  It is quite a bit bigger already, though I don't have a current picture.

  I am enjoying knitting the nautilus and it is so much fun too because every time NB seems me knitting on it, he gets very excited!

  Hmmmm...Instead of my own pictures, how about some pictures of the vacation our chicks took while we were away?  The chicks went to stay at my friend's house to keep her and her 4 and 6 year old company. They had a lot of fun with the chicks!

  

  

  

  

  Do you recognize that sweet girl? It's Muffin! She has been one of my knitting victims  recipients.

  

   

   As you can see, she is growing up very fast!
