Whee, I made something!

Still suffering from project apathy, but a friend of mine mentioned she could use a little bag for those times when she doesn't need to carry all her mommy type gear around. I found this pattern and worked it up over the weekend.



Still trying and failing to make a decent bib. *sigh*

Sick kids

So you'd think, that the kids being sick and basically keeping me locked up in the house for a few days, would equal plenty of time to get a few things done. Not exactly. Their sleeping patterns are all out of whack and I'm doing a lot of staggering around and staring, wondering exactly why I came into a particular room. Ok, I do that anyway, but it is more frequent these days. Really.

I did find a cute little bag pattern I'm actually excited to work up, so I'll get going on that today. Been trying to find some knit or crochet bib patterns for Princess Drool-a-lot, but nothing really so far.

Made more stitch markers for ebay, definitely the most fun way to feed my addictions.

Hey, it's another hat!

How originial, huh? This is one I made for a charity auction. How spiffy is that rhinestone button in the middle of the flower? See, I can be creative. Sometimes.



So now I just have that doll size star blankie in progress, and though TFLW are on the needles still, I think they are obsolete, over, done, not happening.

It is getting really hard to be motivated about knitting or crocheting because it is officially hot weather now. Bleah.

Happy Birthday to me!

My kids are sick, I haven't slept in two days, and I'm behind on a project I should have mailed out today. Other than that, things are just peachy. Oh, and after this birthday? I only have one more before I'm forty. Forty. Yet I still feel like a 13 year old geek. I'm guessing that won't go away any time soon.

There was more to write, but I am too tired to remember it.

Now note the clever combination of crocheted object and baby showing off in the following photo. I made her this hat to wear when we go cheer for our friends doing a 3-day walk for breast cancer.

Excuses, excuses

No, I haven't updated. I haven't knit or crochet or sewn a damn thing. Why?

This is why.

I will return to our regularly scheduled blogging soon, mmkay?

Wait, I did get some stitch markers made and listed on ebay. Now go buy them so I can shop for yarn. You will be enabling my addictions, but I'm cool with that.

Shut up, I've been busy

I am still working on TFLW, see? SEE? Do you just love the 80's colors? I'm over them after all of the failed attempts at these things.



The star blanket for a doll is coming along quickly, another row or two of white, a few of pink, and it will be finished. I do love this pattern so.



Look, I play with things other than yarn. Astounding, no? This seemingly random collection of beads and charms will be magically transformed into sets of stitch markers for me to list on ebay this week. Choosing the beads is the hard part, so half the battle is won here.
