As much as I hate hand stitching, I really love seing how a quilt looks once you blind stitch that binding on. You can imagine how it looks, but seeing it come together at the end is kind of magical. I finished a quilt for my friend’s baby this weekend. She picked the fabrics, as … Continue reading
Now that the baby’s party is over, I’m kind of at a loss as to what to do next. I guess I could go clean the kitchen, but I’d rather write about the fun stuff, instead! It all started with the invitation, which was perfect, as I wanted an invitation that incorporated cute monsters and … Continue reading
C2’s turning one tomorrow (sniff) and we’re throwing him a monster party this weekend! I’ve been knitting and crocheting monsters for the party to give as party favors (and some friends have sent monsters along to help me out, too). These are the monsters I’ve made so far, still in progress, as many of them … Continue reading
Man, we have had quite the adjustment to going back to school, but that’s another post for another day. I just realized I never told the rest of the story regarding our Austin Yarn Crawl, and that means I may have missed the best part of all. The Doughnuts! I had heard of Gourdoughs on … Continue reading
The Ravellenics totally gave me my knitting mojo back, and I’m so excited about it! I made High Road out of MadelineTosh Pashmina from my stash and joined in with the main forum moderators on Ravelry in Team DBAJ. It was a lot of fun to watch all of the great projects they worked on, … Continue reading
My friends that I knit with had been talking about checking out the yarn shops in Austin for a while, so we decided to make it happen last weekend. We were sad that one friend got sick so she couldn’t come, but we definitely plan to go back and do it again. We had a … Continue reading
I was dreading this task in a major way (and you can see why above). I used to clean out his room every six months – once at his birthday and once at Christmas, but then I got pregnant and probably didn’t do a big clean out for at least 18 months. We couldn’t find … Continue reading
My friend Tara came over Friday night to watch the opening ceremonies of the Olympic Games and cast on for our Ravellenic Games projects! I made a patriotic fruit pizza and some little popcorn “torches”. We didn’t knit much because, wow, there was a lot to see during Opening Ceremonies, but we did get started! … Continue reading
So, I was at DFW Fiber Fest and there just so happened to be a room where you could spin where there just so happened to be several ladybug wheels. I spun on it and a few others and then promptly walked over (there were only a few hundred enablers there) and bought one from … Continue reading
I think it’s back to school time that makes me want to get everything organized, so this weekend I spent a lot of time cleaning things out. The biggest project was the coat closet at the front of our house. I wish I had taken a before picture, it was pretty atrocious. There was just … Continue reading
