That’s right. Everyone here has a nasty cold! So much so that my childhood security “blanket” was brought down from his perch on a high shelf in the girls room.

Getting my Ducks in a Row
I really need to take a cue from my daughters.
I am working on the duck~row~thing. I just also have the short~attention~span~girl thing. And the busy~mommy thing. And the so~many~things~so~little~time thing…
Time to test the Faerie Coat!!
I am looking for test knitters for the Faerie coat in child sizes 3/4 (21~23″ chest), 7~9 (25~28″ chest) and 10~12 (28~30″ chest). For all the details, hop on over to this post. *ETA ~ This test is now over and done.

Busy little me.
This was a very handmade holiday. Lots of pirate~y hats for various little (and not so little) ones.
Faerie Wings Tutorial
All righty friends, this is just a loose tutorial, not really a pattern. You kind of have to “wing it” ~ hee hee!
You will need:
2 wire coat hangers of equal size and shape
masking tape
5 yards plastic boning (some stores only sell this covered in white or black fabric)
about a foot of craft wire, 20 gauge or thicker
Sample was made with Bernat Softee Baby yarn in Garden Ombre
Things I meant to share.
I’ve found some snaps from about 2 weeks ago I meant to share with you. First were a few from the last Yarrn Club meeting at InsaniTea.
Dot and Katrina came along for the first half hour or so. The played at the checkers table.
So much to do, so little time
Honestly, since I left the theater, I don’t think I’ve understood this phrase as much as I do right now. Somehow I have forgotten how many hours there are in a day and have just taken on a bit too much. I guess that is the downfall of finally having a handle on my MDD for the first time in quite a few years. Guess I will have to learn about restraint again. ;^) So much to do!
On top of the WiPs I had already going on, a few weeks ago my sister~in~law called to say there would be a baby show for our niece on the 9th (last weekend). That’s right, do the math, I’m going to be a great aunt. Our niece’s mother is Doug’s older sister from his father’s first marriage, so I don’t feel quite as old, but it is still a bit of an odd feeling. Then again, I have an uncle who is 5 months younger then me, so I guess I should just chill a bit.
CraftHope, CAL, WiPs and other randomness
I’ve been been up to a lot o’ knitting and crocheting and other fun stuff lately. Here is a bit of everything, just a random selection of my life right now.
I’ve been getting some really great reviews about my Tea Cup Bunting pattern. It makes me happy. If you want the pattern you can buy it now; it’s only $4, and it is oh so fun and easy!
