What should I start with today? Lets start with the oldest finished project, another wrap skirt.

This one I tweaked a little. I placed the piping 5/8″ from the edge, instead of 3″, which gave me more of a “wrap” and more coverage when the wind blows. I also omitted the pockets, which [...]

Quilting first. I spent my weekend indoors, hacking up a couple lungs. When I wasn’t sleeping, and the hacking was at a minimum, I did a little knitting, and a little sewing. I finished up the quilt top!

I have the rest of the materials to finish the quilt, but with a big [...]

…it’s been almost weeks since my last blog post. Life has become a little crazy, what with work, and socializing and stuff. Some of our dearest friends moved from Long Island last week to NJ, and we’ve been over there helping them out. And I had a relapse on my back issues; [...]

First, a big thank you to all the wonderful comments on the blogiversary, and a big congratulations to Denise, who won the shawl. It should be in the mail shortly!
So, there has been knitting, but it’s for KP, so I can’t show you. It’s slow going though. Today’s all about the food. [...]

Thank you for bearing with the blog and my plea for donations. I surpassed my original goal, and then my revised goal. I’ve revised it a 3rd time, and hopefully will surpass that one too. Thank you to those who donated, thru either my blog post or Necia’s. It means the [...]

The week flew by last week. I made considerable progress on my KP project. I’m hoping it moves a little quicker now, but I doubt it because I have over 300 stitches on my needle. Here’s hoping I make it by the deadline.
I had hoped to make some progress and finish up [...]

Or Happy Chinese New Year! I did my usual get together with the family yesterday, but since we went out to eat, I did my own cooking Sat. night. We had a couple friends over, which made having a big meal better.
To prepare, Friday night, the kid, the hubby and I made paper [...]

I have been doing only a little bit of knitting. Most of it is on a new project for Knit Picks. I finished up the February Baby Sweater.

I think it’s really cute, and I liked the pattern, but I don’t know how many times I would make it….there’s too much garter stitch, and [...]
