Isn’t she pretty?
That’s my Aunt Joanne. The vest is pretty, too. It’s my Freya vest.
Crochet
Pieces of my day
I took a quick break from my projects to whip this cutie up on Monday. It’s from this great pattern I found on Ravelry. The bit of purple there is for lining the hood. I still have to stitch that little bugger in there tonight. I’ll get some better snaps of it tomorrow when it is all done.
Still plugging away on the first of the kinda’ matching Christmas gifts I am making for the girls. I hope to have a little reveal for you by the end of the week. We will see…
Not quite what I wanted, but it will work
I started writing a wrap pattern at the beginning of October. It was beautiful in my head. Somewhere in the initial planning/math stages, something went awry. I think I tried to do too much. The pretty little picture was much more simple then what happened as I started writing.
So, in the end, I had something much more
Pumpkins and Porch
I think I showed you the beginning of this horsey holder. It’s all done now. I really like it. Plus, free, always a bonus!!
There has been quite a bit of cleaning and organizing going on lately.
Just Hanging Around, Part 1
I started a new project on Sunday. Because what I need is a new project. I should be able to finish it tomorrow. In my defense, it is a project that will make an existing project easier.
I started by collecting all the supplies I thought I would need. All stuff found in my garage. OK, the deck posts were laying in the pile of deck wood outside my garage, but the rest was in there.
Chaos
Yup, chaos. Kind of explains a lot going on right now. I seem to have a decent routine on school mornings up unit I get home from taking the girls to school. Then it’s just a bit, well, chaotic. I’m working on getting into a routine during the school days. It seems like there is just more to do then time in the day. Market some days, laundry others, cleaning (always cleaning), organizing all the stuff in the basement, garage, spare room (which will one day be Kyla’s room), working on my designs/patterns, and, of course, spending time with you, my blogland friends. I know I can.
New Laptop
Well, the old one is dead. It had a good run. About 6 years. That’s pretty darn good, if you ask me. Half the letters on the keyboard were worn off. It was very funny when someone with not~so~good typing skills borrowed it!
Anyway, I got a Lenovo v570. It’s pretty. And fast. And not cluttered with 6 years of junk. And fast. I’ll take some pictures tomorrow.
Tomorrow is going
