Fall Swap - One Down, Two (or more) To Go!

Fall Swap Status:
(1) project down. I finished it last night. So cute. Erin is going to love it. I would post a pic, but I don’t know if she pops her head over here, so I won’t.  I have (2) more projects planned, for know. I will probably do more… I am constantly getting inspired [...]

Second Chance Granny Squares.

 
During my lunch break, I decided to try a different type of granny square (you know, since the normal ones are kicking my bootie). I tried a sunburst granny. It was a lot easier than I anticipated. It involved 2 of my favorite stitches ~ a puff stitch and a cluster stitch. Unfortunately, I am beginning [...]

Stressful Granny Squares.

Okay, so I decided that I will eventually make an afghan made of all different sized and colored granny squares. Here is my dilemma: I suck a granny squares. Seriously. I mean, generally, they turn out okay at the end, but the center DC’s are never as defined as I like. I don’t know if [...]

Wonderful.

Peter is wonderful. He brought me these little ditties to work today. Peter never brings me flowers, but he remembered how much I love lilies and that I have been looking at flowers everywhere we go. (the apartment needs a little color and we can’t paint). I love him.

Its Official.

Fat Bottoms & Sickness.

It was only a matter of time before i got the sinus bug. Peter had it, Mylinda (my managers daughter - and yes, she brought her to wok while she was sick) had it and my Dad had it. So, unfortunately for my sinus’, I have it. Sucks. But needless to say, I spent the [...]

OH! I forgot!

I completely forgot to tell you all about my “Slouchy Hat” success! I completely finished it all in like 45 minutes on Thursday during my lunch break. Once I figured out what the heck I was doing wrong, it was a piece of cake. So proud. I want to wear it everyday, but I think [...]

Tea, Progress and Misery Business

 Tea. I am addicted. It makes my morning so much better. Try it. You’ll see what I mean.
So… Progess on the Fat Bottom bag was moving along this morning until I ran out of yarn (will be making the trip to my craft haven shortly). I am still on the fence about lining the bag [...]

Quite Possibly…

As I sit on hold with the local Borders book store, I have been contemplating the fantasticness of my boyfriend, Peter. Let me start with yesterday. We both had hair appointments (I know, cute) at my mom’s salon last night. ** side note: I am a blonde, who dyes her hair brown, who decided to go [...]
