I’m still around, just fighting a nasty cold that has zapped any ounce of energy I might have previously had left over from incubating the beast, so that’s keeping me pretty quiet around here.  We have been busy, though.  Friday was our 5 year anniversary and the husband sent me flowers!!!  We’re not big "sending … Continue reading →

I have been working on a baby blanket using an afghan pattern in the Mason Dixon Knitting book.  Getting a good picture after the sun goes down is virtually impossible, but I figured it was better to post with a poor picture than not post at all.  It feels like I’ve been working on it … Continue reading →

It was quite the unexpected weekend, mostly in a good way.  I unexpectedly finished all of the squares that look like this for the beastie’s quilt.  They actually went really quickly.  The husband got a new camera for his birthday and I took advantage of his desire to take a picture of anything that would … Continue reading →

Thanks for the compliments on the fabrics.  I have been super anxious to get going.  As you already know, I cut out all the pieces the first day.  It went remarkably faster than I would have expected, given that this pattern is comprised of hundreds of pieces.  I sat down Monday night ready to get … Continue reading →

I’ve been holding out on buying fabric for my next quilt (let’s not talk about the fact that my first one is still just a quilt top) until we found out if we are expecting a boy or a girl.  Now that the mystery is over, I did a little fabric shopping today.  Earlier this … Continue reading →

It’s a BOY!  We were completely and totally surprised because only three people predicted that it would be a boy and everyone else we talked to was sure it was a girl (including us).  But, it was a great surprise!  I’m really excited about being a mom to a boy and all that may involve!  … Continue reading →

This scarf has been long sent off, but I have been out of town for the last couple of weeks, which has kept me from posting.  Man, am I happy to be home!  At the beginning of January, I ordered yarn to make Danica for the Red Scarf Project.  By the middle of January, still … Continue reading →

Spending most of the weekend working means that you really lose your weekend.  I stayed home most of the day today to rest and knit, but could really use another day.  Oh the irony of it all, last week I complained about a four day weekend and this week I am begging for one more … Continue reading →

…or not.  I didn’t have to go to work today in anticipation of the ice storm we were supposed to get last night.  As it turns out, we really didn’t have any ice, so I went to work for a couple of hours just to get a few things done.  I did this to make … Continue reading →

Last weekend, I had the project of consolidating two closets, my yarn closet in the hallway and the closet in my craft room.  This will enable us to finish cleaning out the room which will be the nursery in preparation for the baby stuff we will be receiving and buying in the near future.  Unfortunately, … Continue reading →
