I finally finished all the standard size pillow shams for church! I'd love to say that that means I'm finished with the project, but I still have two body pillows to make covers for. Other than being some what time...
I've seen this meme on many a blog recently and Kena from the Spring Felted Bag Exchange tagged me. Here goes: The rules, copy/pasted from my tagger's blog:"Each person tagged gives 7 random facts about themselves. Those tagged need to...
So, I've got a ton of random things I need to share with all of you in blog-land. You know, on the inter-webs. First, the final question in the Spring Felted Bag Contest has arrived. I'm to link to three...
The super-secret surprise is blocking. I ended up running 5 cycles in the wash, but only because I had to go out for a while and it sat in the washer getting wrinkled while I was gone. I hope the...
I just started the washer for what I think is the last time felting the super-secret surprise. And it seems to be working! So far, the size, shape, and proportion are looking good. And the cascade is felting nicely. I...
Kerry, my hostess for SP10 asked us to flash our stashes. I'm pretty sure that she's had other things for us to post on our blogs, but the emails somehow ended up in my bulk folder and are long gone....
I'm working on a bag right now. It's not even for the Spring Felted Bag Exchange. It's a surprise. I think only one person knows what it is and what it's for. And I'm REALLY excited about it. I figure...
I've spent the last two mornings cleaning up after the dog. She's having some sort of bowel problem. I don't want to gross anyone out with the details, but I'm beginning to think that she's got the same infection she...
Ali is having a fun and easy contest. Go check it out at her blog. If you decide to join in the fun, please let her know that you found out about it at my blog; I get an extra...
Anne posted another contest question for the Spring Felted Bag Exchange. My answer to where I like to knit is the title to this post. Truly, I will knit anywhere and wny time I can find to do so. I...
with Buttonhole Bags. This is my third one. I made this one for my Mother-in-law for Mother's Day. I'm really happy with how it turned out, especially the colors. The pattern is the Mason-Dixon Buttonhole Bag and I used...
I specialized in ceramics when during my undergraduate degree in Art Education. I loved getting dirty and working with clay. One of the things about throwing on the wheel that fascinated me was centering the clay. If you didn't get...
He brought me a package containing this: I'd won a contest that was a part of the Spring Felted Bag Exchange. I had no idea the prize would be this cool! As you can see, there's 2 skeins of Noro,...
This is the bag I made for my sister in law. It's a large envelope style messenger bag. It was knit with yarn I spun. I'm happy with everything except the handle. The handle is I-cord and doesn't seem...
The first sign of spring at our house was late this year. Usually just before the daffodils start to bloom, the shedding begins. Yes, I said shedding. At our house the first sign of spring is the dog beginning to...
I'm working on a project that I can't tell you about just yet, and I have to get it finished pretty quickly. I just put the baby down for a nap and caught myself thinking as I quietly pulled his...
I think I might have finished typing the last entry and posted it before it stopped raining. Apparently all I have to do is complain about the rain on my blog and it magically disappears. I'm thankful. And not just...
It's raining here. It's been raining here a lot lately. Our sump pump has actually run about every 30 seconds for at least the last 24 hours. We haven't seen the sun since Saturday, and that was only for part...
Ok, I think I must be the only knitter with this problem. Not only do I not have any UFO's (unfinished objects), I have a dwindling stash. I don't have anything on my needles, either. I have yarn for socks...
The Spring Felted Bag Exchange is having a contest. I'll be posting some things to my blog to answer some questions over the next few weeks for the contest. The first question deals with how I got interested in felting....
