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.

Why blog?

I have been asking myself this question.... Why blog?

My answer? I am so forgetful, I want a place to keep track of my life, experiences, things I've been doing with the kiddos... and really? I'm doing it for me...

If you'd like to know what I've been up to, well... crocheting, knitting, and reading.


Lily's bag on the left is just about finished. All I have now is to add the handles. I absolutely love this bag, I just really hope she doesn't ruin it :) The flower in front is a pot holder I just can't seem to make myself finish... I really dislike not finishing things, but I am the queen of starting new things before others are finished... you too?

Ohhh yes, knitting, thanks for asking...


This washcloth is the very first COMPLETED knitting project I've completed. I absolutely love the colors. This is knitted on sized 7 cirular needles, with Lily Sugar and Cream cotton yarn.


Now, your supposed to 'block" things, that makes them perfectly straight & square... bu this is my cloth, and I don't feel the need to waste time blocking it when I want to use it straight away ha ha ha.

I finished my crochet shrug too, it's made from Serenity silk yarn


I also have read two books recently... can you believe I've managed to read books??? I read "Trace the Dead Eye" ( that receieves one thumb up) and "Blood Island". BI gets 2 total thumbs up! LOVE this book.

Desperate to blog!

I've very much so been wanting to blog, write out thoughts, memories, pictures, patterns, etc......

I have no way to get all 2000 pics from my phone to this wee net book... that would take a lot of space wouldn't it? Maybe I need a declutter of pics from the tele eh?

Well I've got several WIP's (works in progress) going. I'm learning to knit so I've got a scarf going, a wash cloth for my momma in crochet, and I'm turning the wheels in my head to start something else.

I've just ordered some yarn off Ravelry.  I am very excited for that. Then coming soon the hubby has said I can order some more yarn off rav from a friend... Is it bad I get so giggly over yarn?

Sould you be interested my Ravelry page is louwymomma. I am on there a lot, and add lots of stash yarn and what not.
