Scrolling through the ole’ bloglines the other day, I popped in on Carole and found yet another knitalong.  Only this one reeled me in right away.  It is called Lonesome Skein and its goal is to help you use up those lonesome skeins that are sitting around your yarn closet or craft room.  I figured … Continue reading →

After finishing my friend’s baby quilt this summer, I took a little break from sewing, but have still been planning projects.  I’ve had the fabric for this project for a couple of months and just got time to finish it this weekend.  It’s a housewarming gift for a friend at work and it includes the … Continue reading →

It is safe to say that it’s been a crazy month.  Since arriving back from the cruise, I spent a week cutting my thesis down from 100 to 25 pages for a conference submission, spent a week in Dallas for work and spent much of this week planning transportation and driving to and from my … Continue reading →

Okay, not exactly.  But, do forgive my absence (and this blurry photo).  Jason and I escaped last week on a cruise, with no email and no cell phones.  It was a much needed break from a hectic summer.  More soon, once I recover, including a cruise and birthday recap! Continue reading →

Happy birthday to me!  I actually made this for my friend’s birthday a little while back but I forgot to post about it.  🙂  We enjoyed a fabulous weekend in Fredericksburg with friends and in celebration of my birthday.  Here’s our weekend in pictures… There are a bunch of bats in that old railroad tunnel … Continue reading →

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. And she liked it!!!  It was pretty cool … Continue reading →
