One Sock DONE!
I finished the first sock, of my very own sock pattern, for C’s b-day socks… the yarn is a delicious teal-y color, (maybe moonlight?), silk and wool blend from Blackberry Ridge. I LOOOOVE their yarns.I’m about 1/2way through the foot of the other sock. and I have 3 months before his birthday, so finishing shouldn’t […]
Shamrock garland!
I cut out a bunch of large shamrocks for D’s class to paint, and decided to cut out some small ones to try making a garland… I don’t know why it took me so long to make one. seriously, the cutter made me 18 shamrocks (3 pages of green paper) in like 5 minutes… and […]

PBNS apron
the older kids at D’s nursery school are called Red Birds… D’s class are the Yellow Birds… I made this apron as a thank you gift for the current Board President… The Bean really liked it, and kept asking it if I made it for HER school, or D’s school.

I need to block it, but I’ve been wearing it non-stop since I finished it…. the wool is from my friend Lori, started last weekend at the retreat… It’s Malabrigo worsted. my appologies for looking so blah, I think I had a toddler climbing me while I was […]
Wordless Monday
Because I have a very sore throat. Am slowly recovering from being sick, and now playing catch-up. Must finish an apron tonight, quilt by wednesday, plus I want to make my new bag….
