I’ll be in Fredericksburg, Tx, enjoying some much needed R&R with the husband and a couple of friends.  We’ve got several end of summer vacays planned so I’ll be in and out.  Hopefully, to return refreshed and with creative juices flowing because it just hasn’t been happening lately.  Oh, and maybe pictures and bloggy stuff, … Continue reading →

As strange as it sounds, I’ve knit me a flower.  It’s supposed to be a Gerbera Daisy.  It reminds me of a cartoon flower and I love it so much I’m a little afraid to felt it.  But, I will, because that’s the only way the flower will "bloom" into having some stability.  It was … Continue reading →

Is the weekend really already over?  It was so good that it makes it hard to believe that it’s over.  One of the best parts of the weekend was meeting Stacey’s mom, Marsha!  She was in town this weekend and we did a little Houston Yarn Crawl of sorts.  It was another one of those … Continue reading →

I’ve been knitting, just a little spastically.  In the past 5 days, I have worked on 4 different projects.  The quickest and most fun of them all was this Bead Soup Bracelet made from a kit of blues from Earth Faire, as seen in the blog world by Katy and Carole.  I loved every phase … Continue reading →

While I was disappointed to have missed the Yarn Harlot in Austin this weekend, I had the opportunity to be at one of my best college friend’s baby shower and to see all my girlfriends from college.  At the baby shower, my secret sewing project was revealed.

Let this be a lesson to you, sewing can be dangerous.  I don’t know if you can tell, because I spared you the bloody scene, but somehow my finger came between the sewing needle and the fabric tonight.  I just noticed that I have a matching hole on the backside of my finger.  That’s right, … Continue reading →

In all of the craziness of the last couple of weeks, it appears that I have forgotten to share with you at least one finished object.  Yes, my Jaywalker sock has met its match… I finished the second one just after we re-did the bedroom and just before I left for my week in Colorado.  … Continue reading →

Spending a week in the mountains was really nice.  It was a beautiful escape and has given me renewed energy for my job and life in general.  The weather was amazing!  Above are the Maroon Bells which we went up to see one evening just before sunset.  A couple of folks went up there for … Continue reading →

So, I took a little trip to Colorado last week for work, and the one time I tried to post, Typepad was down.  Go figure.  Things are really busy here with trying to catch up on everything from a week out.  For now, I’ll share this picture and I’ll be back soon with the rest … Continue reading →
