I am so excited to have completed Audrey. It has been several months in the making but I think it will definitely be worth it. I’m just sad now that it’s not cool enough here yet to wear it. It will definitely be ready when the first cool front hits! Plus the Calmer was Yummy! … Continue reading →

Make sure you “read more” to see all the pictures and such! 3:30 p.m. I got in my car and headed to the … Continue reading →

I just got in last night and am exhausted but in such a good way. We had so much fun! I have so many stories and pictures and such, but won’t be able to get them up here until tonight. I just had to let you know as soon as possible that things went wonderfully! … Continue reading →

I’m back! I just didn’t want you to think I had fallen off the face of the earth. 🙂 I had a great weekend but I’m really missing the productiveness that I usually have on a weekend. I didn’t get anything accomplished and I came back feeling exhausted so I still haven’t accomplished anything. I … Continue reading →

What a week! It’s been a bit crazy at work because I won’t be there tommorow or Friday! I am helping with a college student retreat which is going to be a crazy road trip! It should be a lot of fun, but it puts me out of commission until Sunday night or Monday. I … Continue reading →

The brief photo shoot on the way out the door just didn’t do Purple Penny justice. My cameraman humored me and took some more when we got home from work.* Today I got complimented on this sweater and the colors that I selected, even when they didn’t know I made it. That was really cool. … Continue reading →

There ya have it, purple penny is complete! This isn’t the greatest picture but it’s the best we could do as we were running out the door this morning. There were several firsts with this project. First time I used continental style knitting, first time I have been meticulous about going back to correct mistakes, … Continue reading →
