, 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).
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...
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...
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!
Archiver’s fans, today we sadly announce that four of our locations will be closing on October 20th—Coon Rapids, Gurnee, Nashville, and North Olmsted—and our Mall of America store will be closing on October 26th. Decisions like this are never easy, and we don’t like closing any of our stores. We are a small company and take what we do very personally. However, we find ourselves in tough economic times and are forced to make difficult business decisions in order to ensure our future success. The hardest part is saying goodbye to our amazing employees in these locations. We thank them for their hard work and dedication, and wish them the very best. Our other store locations will remain open, and shopping is always available online at www.archiversannex.com. Also, at our Memory Lab (www.archiversmemorylab.com), you can print photos in lots of sizes for traditional scrapbooking, create amazing photo projects and gifts, and a whole lot more. With closing our Mall of America location in particular, you may be wondering about ScrapFest. We’d love to keep ScrapFest going, and are looking into all of the possibilities. We’ll keep you posted as we know more. We thank you for your continued support during these difficult times.
