What’s our favorite Christmas present?  Finally being able to let everyone in on a little secret. I’m having a baby!  The little beast, as Jason affectionately calls it, is due on July 1st, 2007, so we will have quite the exciting year ahead of us.  I’m 13 weeks along, and the picture above is from … Continue reading →

I took advantage of a holiday at work (I’ve still been working half days, but have had afternoons off) to take a quilting class this week.  There was an accelerated class at Quilter’s Emporium in the afternoons.  My classmate was a college student, so it was really fun and we ended up having very similar … Continue reading →

I know, it’s shocking.  Not only did I finish one thing, but I’ve finished two!  They are Christmas presents but I don’t think the recipients know about my blog, so I’m going to risk it and post it.  These are already wrapped, paired with giftcards and sitting under the recipient’s Christmas tree.  I decided to … Continue reading →

And since I don’t even want to read about how tired I am, I haven’t been blogging.  I am working on finishing some presents for my step-mom and step-sisters prior to Thanksgiving.  They are for Christmas, but since I will see them on Thanksgiving and not Christmas, I am trying to take everything then to … Continue reading →

Since you have probably seen a ton of re-caps by now, I’ll try to make mine quick and get to the fiber acquisitions in the next post.  So, upon arriving in New York City, I met up with Anne Marie and Carrie and we got in our crazy rental car (a bright orange Chevy HHR) … Continue reading →

I had SO much fun at Rhinebeck, but I didn’t get to go home at the end of the weekend, I went out of town for work instead.  I would be able to give you the Rhinebeck re-cap had I brought my camera cord with me, but alas, I did not.  So, the re-cap will … Continue reading →

So my flight leaves before the crack of dawn tomorrow morning and I’m trying to figure out what I need to bring.  I am bummed because I didn’t get my Rhinebeck Blogger Button in the mail!  It wason the north side of town on the 16th!  You would think it would have made it here … Continue reading →

Wait, you didn’t know I was going to Rhinebeck?  I realized today that I think I managed to leave that little fact off of the blog.  I’m SO excited, I just haven’t really had time to be excited for long with busy times here.  I bet you didn’t know I had a sweater on the … Continue reading →

Good evening fellow knitters (and crocheters and crafty folks), and welcome to this week’s edition of Ask the Blogisphere.  The question for the blogisphere today is in the category of bag lining.  I made this great little bag from the Happy Hooker crochet book and love it, when it’s empty.  However, the minute I put … Continue reading →

I started and finished my first Lonesome Skein project this weekend.  It’s become a bit of an obsession because they are all small projects so I get that fun of picking a new project with new yarn and the satisfaction of a finished product all within a few days of each other.  This is the … Continue reading →
