FO In Sight

I've almost got an FO! Just some seaming, blocking and pom-poms to make and I'll have another set like this one done.


I love my pom-pom tree. I ordered it after seeing Susan use one to make her prefect pom-poms. I followed the same link she listed and ordered it through here.

TGIF everyone! Have a great weekend!

A Fresh Coat

This weekend EZ painted the nursery. Whisper Yellow.


The newly painted walls look great! I think this color is perfect for the nursery fabrics I picked out too. Finding something I liked that was gender neutral was harder than I thought but all these Dick and Jane prints make me happy.


Gosh, it's all so exciting! Feels great to have things rolling but I've still got lots and lots to do. My sewing and knitting list alone is overwhelming. I'll keep you updated and will post pictures of the nursery as it comes together. OK gotta run and get something else checked off my long list of To-Dos!

Forever Blanket

Oh my gosh this blanket is going to take FOREVER! The chart work is crazy. This is the most intricate thing I've ever tackled.


Sure is beautiful though. Let's hope it's done in time for BZ!

My Head Is Spinning!

My head is spinning with all the projects I got going on. Knitting AND sewing projects, among other things around the house, work, etc… I hope I get around to some FOs to show sometime soon…


To add to my pile it didn't help that I went to the Threadbear in Lansing, MI this past weekend. I went with a couple friends from my local knitting circle and we had a great time. Man, that shop ROCKS! The owners are very nice and so are the workers. They had so much yummy yarn, so many great patterns. I was actually starting to stress because I didn't know where to begin! I came home with some sweet baby patterns and some chocolate yarn to knit a baby sweater set. I hope to make the trip back again, maybe this summer? Thanks Threadbear!
