WIPS

OK so I have been slacking... my creative juices have been flowing so much, and I have been organizing, creating, etc. I have tons os pics, I have to post here... So a few things first...

All of this here is unfinished & I a making it a goal of mine to finish up all this stuff... Lily's little camo hat was finished, but it got a snag so now it needs a good fixin...

I did end up finishing the pot holder I was working on, I am going to make a few more of these I think, just because I like them so much :)

Have my friends ever wondered what my "stash" looks like? This is some of it :) I have misc fiber yarns in the top, Lily Sugr n Cream multis in the next bin, Lily Sugar n Cream solids in the next, and the trunk? Well that would have acrylic blends...

What's that you say? That's a shit ton of yarn? Yes it is lovies, but it goes soooooo fast! LSC is my FAVVVVVV yarn (for now)...

This is my "area", where the magic happens. These few things are my working on stuff. No, that trunkabsolutely isn't filled with yarn ( I have such hopes for that!)  It actually holds my pictures.


I am starting to collect beads, sequins, buttons, and brads... yes I do feel another obsession coming on, why do you ask?

I think that is it for now.

Ho Hum La De Dum...

Not a whole lot has been going on here. Just been sitting wishing and hoping...

I did do some crafts with Lily & I think they came out beautiful...


Lily's is on the right, I think she really did a good job!

I've been going through the process of learning to knit. For me it's very intimidating. I actually tried a "magic loop"...



Yeah it looks good lying down, but it had what's called "ladders", or big ASS holes in it where the stitches were separated... I do not like this method, and I did give it a very good go. So I attempted DPN's... thhose are INTIMIDATING! But, they work oh so well!!


So we shall see once this is an FO.

Mind you I don't sit and knit all day lol... I crochet too, clean, do the mommy/housewife thing... but I am also a property manager & live onsite.

I have so mannnnnny ideas/projects running through my head, think I'll have to make a list to get it all done :)

That's my ramblings for today...
