Knitting for a New Life!

I can finally share about some projects I made!  I was holding off until the shower to keep them a surprise!
I have known this new Mom-to-Be since she was born and as soon as I heard she was pregnant I got started!  The first thing was the baby blanket.  Molly has gray in her home and I figured it would go in her baby theme some how.  And I guess it is gender neutral right?
So the blanket was finished first

Duh! I just went to get the pic of the blanket and realized I only have one of when I was working on it!  Will have to get her to send me a better one!

Then Molly told me that she was having a girl and it was on!  I made a sweater, hat, and a little sleep sack!

 Such fun!





Happy Stamping & Knitting!

40th Annual Maryland Sheep & Wool!

 Despite suffering from allergies or a bad cold, I managed to have fun at yet another MDS&W festival!  Fun weekend with my knitting friends and those from the dark side too (crocheters)!  The weather was gorgeous and I am now sporting a farmers tan with my arms and neck!  It was fun to see all the animals who supply us with our fiber, the many types of people who come to this event.  Love the sights and sounds!

Happy Stamping & Knitting!

Felting with Stampin' Up! embellishments!!!!

The sweater I had been knitting has been in "time out" for a few weeks. Messed up somewhere and it was making me nuts trying to figure out what was wrong. Sooooo....I chose to work on some simple projects that would not give me a fit, and give me almost instant gratification! This is a small little clutch that is embellished with retired Kiwi Kiss corduroy buttons! Then I made a few felted bangle bracelets and added some Designer Brads on one and Rhinestone Brads on the other! And the best thing about these bangles is that they are quiet!!! Happy Stamping & Knitting!

WOW! Been a While!

Wow! I haven't posted anything in quite a while! I guess with Facebook my blog seems to feel neglected. I have been busy with summer! The new Stampin' Up! catalog started.....I got some new stuff to play with, but am still trying to reorganize my room! It's a chore, and overwhelming! Been busy knitting some things. Made the sweater for Mom back in May, and liked it so much I had to make one for myself. Then saw an adorable monster pattern and wanted to make them for my nephews. Here is the first one I made. Happy Stamping & Knitting!
