When life gives you lemons, stick them in your bra and make your boobs bigger.

OK, maybe one more.

It's only been a few years

2011-11-03T20:43:00.001-07:00

Maybe I should post something recent? Ha! I agree completely.

Being a mother, a student, a wife AND step mother tends to keep you from the little updates.

Very quick update!

2009-11-19T11:03:00.000-08:00

Without my own internet connection I can't update too much, but I did want to post this picture really quickly. It was taken by Kris over the summer of Grey.

My little buddy!

Almost 5 months already! Where is time going?!?!

Another smile on camera.

6 weeks old already.....

The newest Addition!

So this obviously has nothing to do with any crafting, but I'm going to post it anyway: Here is my baby boy, Grey. Born January 29th, 2009. 7 pounds, 14 ounces.

Matinee Shrug by Two Old Bags

2009-01-28T04:50:00.000-08:00

I started my sisters' Matinee shrug last night at Knit Knight. Unfortunately I wasn't able to do very much while I was out, as it required I do a lot of "not talking" and "concentrating". I'm very pleased that all my little mini projects with their heavy pattern-reading and deciphering prepared me really well for this project, because so far it's going well.

Just for fun....

2009-01-17T21:28:00.000-08:00

I did this today. :) I'm sad it's my "fatty face' picture, but it was entertaining to know I look like Daniel Radcliffe nonetheless.

Noro 2-rib scarf

2009-01-13T15:35:00.000-08:00

I finally started working on the noro 2-rib scarf with 2 colors. I'm kind of pissed though, because I've started it over a few times already and kind of want to add 2 mores stitches to it.

It's pretty so far though....

I totally caved.

I really couldn't resist posting these.

This is an item I'm making for myself out of naturally un-dyed silk bouchle, bought from Knit Knack in Arvada.

The pattern in a 4-row repeat until completion that Judy wrote down for me a few weeks ago. I made one up for my sister Caitlin, and liked it so much I decided that I wanted one as well. It doesn't hurt that she lives in Washington DC, so we can get away with having matching knitted items.

I'm not 100% sure where the stopping point is yet, but I'm thinking I'll make it shorter than my first so it's more like a laying scarf than anything functional.

Blogger doesn't agree with me.

2009-01-11T14:15:00.000-08:00

Aforementioned photo gets added to this post, because it wouldn't situate itself in the right position in the last post. Whoops on me.

Since I made another post for this photo, I might as well talk about the project. :)

The shawl was a pattern I pulled off the internet for free. It's origins are Cascade, or something like that. This is made with about 6 or 7 different yarns total. Throughout the whole shawl is carried a black wool/acrylic boucle and one other type of yarn. Every "whenever I felt like it", I would switch that second yarn to another color, creating the striping.

This was a late Christmas present about 2 or 3 years ago (I forget), but the friend I made it for professes that no matter where she goes, she gets obscene amounts of compliments on it, and has even told me a co-worker of hers would pay me "out the ears" to have one herself. Though I've considered the option, I don't know that the time expenditure, in addition to the colors her co-worker wants would make it feasible. As most of us knitters know, a hand-knit for sale is an expensive piece of work. In a lot of cases it's much less expensive to just find something comparable in retail.

I still don't have the first clue what I'm doing.

2009-01-11T13:57:00.001-08:00

So, after a full calendar year, and then a little extra, I'm finally making an *actual post*. Amazing, isn't is!

So, this should be the part where I post a few photos of my works-in-progress, or maybe even of myself. As I'm presently in yoga pants and an oversized merona t-shirt that comes down over my 36-weeks-pregnant-self, halfway to my knees; I'll spare you that. So I'll post something in it's place that *isn't* traumatizing. :)

Sorry that my picture looks more like something you'd be opening in my yearly Christmas letter.

So with this little mini-update, I'm off to work on a project that currently has no photo to go with it. But in lieu of a photo of something current, here's a picture of something from a *LONG* time ago. Also modeled by someone I don't talk to. That's how long ago this was taken (also; note the sparkly 1960's vintage tree in the background with it's pink and red lights. Vintage-tastic).

First post

2007-09-06T10:16:00.000-07:00

I created this blog a few weeks ago, and quite literally haven't had any time yet to enter any projects that I've been working on lately.

So: Pending pic uploads and some text, this is all there is for the moment.

More to come soon, I promise!
