I wish there was a shot for seasonal colds.

I’ve had a cold the past week, so that is the reason for no posting.  It is hard for me to put a sentence together when I’m not feeling well, let alone an entire post.  This morning at school drop off a friend of mine was standing not 20 feet from me waving frantically as [...]

We interrupt this vacation to bring you…

Finished Projects!
I have 2 friends that are due to have babies soon and they received these gifts from me.  The baby bootee pattern is the same one I used for these.  The pink ones have the ruffle around the cuff that is in the original pattern.  The burp-cloths are more of the same [...]

What I’ve Been Doing this Summer

I know I’ve been absent, and I’m not really sure anyone even reads this blog anymore but here’s a recap of the last 3 weeks or so.
The day after school got out I drove the kids to my parents’ house where they stayed for the week.  We have a pretty great drive to get to [...]

Projects finished

Wow!  Compared with recent history, this blog is a flurry of activity!
Wanted to show some finished projects.  Yay for finishing!
First: The path- Here is the old crumbling concrete path that Pip took out with his own mighty strength and a sledgehammer.

Here is the new finished path.:)  Pip got some help from my brother [...]

Kitchen Valance

I finished this kitchen window valance a couple of weeks ago, and have been waiting to block it before putting it up, but who am I kidding. . . I’m never going to block it, so I used a few cup hooks and hung it up.  I think I’ll make a shade in muslin to [...]

Tulip toes

I was waiting for the recipient to get these in the mail before I posted a picture and she did (before the baby was born!  Woo!).  So here are Tulip toes, booties for the new baby girl in the family.At least I HOPE they were right about girl, because these would really not work on [...]

Now we can paint!

 
Well, here it is.  The reason I haven’t posted anew for awhile is…we bought a house!  A real live house!  I don’t really know if it has sunk in completely.  I don’t think it will until we close and the keys are in my hand.  Right now it’s all about the preparation for moving.  I [...]

FO’s (Finished Objects)

I’m all about finishing projects over here.  I knitted some sushi for our dear friends who got me to eat (and love) sushi.  They are moving out of state and I wanted to give them a permanent memory.  The pattern is from Magknits.

Also, I finished a pillow I’ve been working on for forever.  I want [...]

Wonderful

That poncho down there a couple of posts?  Yeah, she’s already ripped a hole in the front.  Good thing I’m not a perfectionist or it would go straight in the trash.  And I thought wearing it to church would be safe.

Another Poncho for DQ

 
DQ saw this poncho in The Yarn Girls’ Guide to Knits for Older Kids and asked for it.  I’m a sucker.  It was supposed to be done by Valentine’s Day, but I have this issue with getting bored with projects and starting new ones before I’m finished.  At any rate, it’s done.  Yes, it has the [...]
