Good Morning

Exciting times!!! :) This is where I get to share my world and my life...:) lol....

I'm just tickled that I got to get this blog name. :) It came to me in the middle of the night..and wouldn't it make a COOL yarn store name?

My biggest "what have I done" thing happned last night at scouts. I offered to quilt a quilt for our leader. I don't think it will be TOO horrid, but I'll need help with the basting, because I am NOT doing that by myself!!! The rest I can handle I am sure....but a BIG project.

The concept is that the 32 girls have done a self portrait on unbleached muslin, and my friend's mother will piece them and I will baste and quilt and bind. I have always done a separate binding, but this mother makes the backing bigger, and then uses THAT for the binding. I think it'll be OK because it probably won't get used AS a quilt, but I had been taught to use separate binding because that gets wear and tear, and if the big back binding wears through, you're stuck.

Today is a crazy day. But ALL my days are crazy!!! I have to go to work...bleah..I wish I could figure out a way to just quit. With me working for Kevin now, it's kind of getting in the way. But Ken needs me, and I just don't see the work getting done otherwise. NOt really MY problem, but that's just the way I am I guess.

Right now, I have LOTS of knitting going on...almost TOO much, but I really like it that way. When I get bored with one thing, I can go on to another thing.

So...OTN : Deb's sweater, Shirley's bag, and Ann's bag.

My goal is to get Deb's sweater done this weekend to hand to her on Sunday. Then I can focus on Shirley's bag, then Ann's bag. I have socks to make for Kevin. He wants a cotton blend with wool....but Hank and i both think that's not really the way to go. But I am going to make him a wool only pair first, and see if he likes it...if he does, then I'll do something with this other yarn I got.

I need to focus some time to get my other blog up and running...who KNOWS how many people out there are looking at a funky blank blog. I am having some trouble trying to get all the buttons working properly, but hopefully I'll get to it this weekend.

Like I said before...I am SOOO tickled that this blog name wasn't taken!!! Toodles everyone :)
