finished scarf- July UFO
Since my last two finishes for June and May were decidedly lame, I am pleased to have finished July with gusto. Since I began this scarf over two years ago, I am proud to complete it. It is obviously a first knitting project, because the first quarter is so tight and wobbly. I am pleased that …
the boy is back
Yesterday we got the best news. The boy decided to come back from his trip early. We found out in the morning, and then he called from Fargo (the farthest west he gets cell phone coverage east of Washington). He got home shortly before I got home from work. He is brown as a walnut …
mittens- future projects
Look at these beautiful mittens! I am visiting my mom and she showed me these great mittens. They are made from recycled sweaters, and fully lined with polar fleece. What is interesting is they are three large parts so although the thumbs are shaped, they are not little tiny pieces. I have a copy of the …
denim quilt full speed ahead
No, it’s not Cousin It. It’s me with my circles sewn into pairs. Wow, it feels great to be back in my studio after being sick, graduation and getting ready for graduation! These are the circles I have so far. When they were stacked up they were about six inches high. My sister has cut some …
before and after bathroom – bike update
I just ran across a photo of my bathroom before we did these small renovations. Here it is: You can see the crappy old string lights and the black painted medicine cabinet. Anyway, Paul and I went camping and we had a great time. I would blog more about the chaos that is me going …
a hole in the wall
Here’s the hole in the wall. We had Larry, our friend and awesome carpenter, out our house to do some work. Last winter we had a terrible ice dam and the roof was damaged. Since we were replacing the roof, we also had a fan and some new electrical lights put in. This is the …
July ufo- bike update
So my July ufo is this knitted scarf. Now I am a fairly proficient at crocheting, but knitting is something that I never quite got the hang of. A couple of years ago when my sister, Becky, was visiting, we went to the mall together. Becky sews, crochets and works with beads, but like me didn’t knit. …
more denim quilt, bike trip update
Well, I did get into my sewing room for some actual sewing. I finished a green t-shirt yesterday, and continued to put denim blocks together. I decided to turn away from the charm rainbow idea and move to a muted color theme. I find the muted colors work better with the denim. This is one …
denim quilt
Thankfully, my commitment to writing here every Thursday and Sunday has got me out of my little anxiety funk. My oldest boy began his epic bike trip on Monday. He got on the bus and rode to Portland via Kansas City, Denver and Salt Lake City. Anyway, he arrived in Portland yesterday. He and three friends …
