Finished objects!
So, I have been knitting, sewing and beading. Here are a few of my FOs
This is a garter stitched rectangle, folded in half and seamed. Made with JOANN'S BOUCLE. I sort of made up the pattern. And, the cool thing is that I did not even use an entire ball of this yarn! And, I have gotten a ton a compliments on it.
Not the greatest picture of me, but you can see the shawl very well.
The only problem I am having with this is that the wide arms keep getting caught on everything. I am now making a crocheted version and am planning to modify the arms so that they aren't to wide.
I have also been beading. Check out some of my earrings.
These are some of my first efforts and I am still learning. But, I really like them. I am planning to make some for some of my girls for christmas.
And speaking of Christmas, I finally got my tree up. See the poinsettia ornaments? Made those too. About 4 years ago.
Dang, I'm crafty!
WEll, thats all for now. I will show some of my sewing projects next goround. I am almost finished with a dress I hope to wear to church next sunday, but I am having a devil of a time with the zipper! Any tips? Let me know.
Until next time.......

I am back!
Its been a while! I have been swamped with adoption stuff. Its going well. We had to move to a larger place and thats always stressful. We found a great new apt and are really enjoying the extra elbow room. We do realized that once we get the baby, our new found space will rapidly disappear! Anyway, now we have a mound of paperwork to complete and unfortunately in the midst of all this, we lost my mother-in-law. Very sudden. Its been hard on my husband but he is hanging in there.
Though I have not been blogging I have been knitting and SEWING! I will be updating with pics of my FOs over the weekend.
I just perused Knitty Winter! OMG! So many cute things. These are my faves:
dahlia
abotanicity
stardust
I have decided that I need to challenge myself in my knitting, so I am am going to finally try a sweater! These three are strong contendors!
Updates with pics next week!
