Thanks mom...


So my mom...is the greatest! Recently, she was cleaning out one of the downstairs rooms of my childhood home...and she had received 2 bags full of the magazine, Magic Crochet after my grandmother passed away...I mean, T-W-O FULL bags of these magazines!  I am the luckiest girl! I can't wait to start a project from one of the magazines!  Seriously, I am the luckiest girl!

Starting something new...

Since I finish the knitted afghan, I thought it would be okay to start something new...and here's what I picked.  It's something that I bought a couple of years ago for Tim's daugther...with every intention to start and finish it within a "reasonable" time...well, that didn't happen.  The first time around, I started it on my bamboo knitting needles, which didn't work very well...I needed to use the Turbo knitting needles.  I got some Turbos at Goodwill store some time back...and to my surprise it was in the size I needed...(side note: why would you give away TURBO knitting needles...they retail: $15.99 and I got them for $2.99).  I thought I would start this project again using them...and it was wonderful! Very easy to knit...(a sigh of reflief).

Thrift store find..


 Oh my gosh, this quilt is such a cutie! I found it at the local thift store, Savers...at best guess, it's a baby quilt a grandmother embroidered for the new born...it's soo cute! Darling hubby is teasing me because I have it on the bed...he says its my nana blanket...he's a nerd!  It's not, but I love it...it's so cute, cute, cute...

It's a another finish...

Good Morning, again!  I'm posting 2 in 1 morning...and it's only because I think I'm figuring out the photo editing program, Picasa from Google...I had Photoshop for school, but the subscription had expired and I am not able to renew the subscription...so in the meantime, I'm going to use Picasa...so far so good...what the heck it's a FREE program, so honestly, the expectations should be lower...

Anyho, here's a 2013 finish...it's a knitted Afghan that I started SEVERAL, SEVERAL years ago.  It's a really nice lap sized Afghan...I don't know if I really like the color...any more...but it's F-I-N-I-S-H-E-D!  WooHOOO!

See ya soon...maybe another posting later...MAYBE!

One of many...

Good Morning, this outfit is one of many that I'm sewing for my nieces...as a Christmas gift.  What I have learned: every sewing pattern provides varying levels of instructions...and some are better than others.  These dress instructions had minial instructions...but I managed!  One to the next outfit...posting will be later!

Hope you have great day! Laterz!
