  • Not much news

    I haven't blogged since I arrived home from Colorado, which was a couple of weeks ago now, because there hasn't been very much news.  I missed my grandchildren very much, and I have spent as much time as possible with them since getting home.  I miss Betsy terribly, but I text with her almost every day, and am so happy that she has been feeling a lot better and recovering well from surgery.  Here is her latest blog: ConcettoSpazialeAttesa.   I am feeling my age for sure these days as it took me a good week to get over the exhaustion of a long trip and changing of time zones so much.  It has been good to be home with Jim again!  He had the house clean, all the laundry done, and it was a pleasure to not have to feel like I was behind in everything.  And we celebrated 35 years of marriage the day I arrived home!  I have been happy to get back to church and all of those activities, seeing my friends, exercising regularly, working on my projects.  

    Here are some projects I have been working on:  

    These ruffly scarves are so much fun to make!  I am selling some this year, so if anyone local wants to buy one, I have some available and can order other yarn colors if need be.  Just message me on here or on facebook for details.

    This one is going to Betsy, and unfortunately, I haven't been able to find this particular one anywhere, so I can't make another one of these:

                                            

     

    Here are a couple of others I have recently made -

                                            

    And I am still working on my swallowtail shawl - it is a difficult pattern, requires a lot of attention, so isn't good to take to a sit and stitch, but is slowly looking pretty good!

                                            

    I am determined to also work on my Grandmother's Flower Garden quilt.  sigh.  I need more hours in my day.  Don't we all?  A quilt blog that I read had a challenge to stitch with needle and thread for at least an hour a day.  I'm going to try that!  I'll post progress on my next flower next time!

  • You are so talented and use your talents often so you won't lose them.  I need to pick up something to d for the winter.  Could be the youngest granddaughter's baby quilt.  She is now 10!

  • You definitely are a most talented lady!  Love the things you make!

  • Happy belated 35th Anniversary!  The scarves turned out really nice.  Love the Swallowtail. It is a challenge working with fine yarn and your efforts are stunning. Am excited to see the infamous nupps.   

  • @sharingthemoment - Yes, well, let me just say, as I am trying to get these nupps, that lifelines are very necessary!
