A big thank you to my SP9. I received my first package for this round and how lovely it is. The Opal sock yarn is in my favorite colors, Fall, along with the cutest sock blocker key chain. Some nummy Lindt Truffle Cake, every girl or knitter can use chocolate, right? [...]

Felt Needlecase

The pattern for this valentine needlecase can be found here! I cut out the pieces on Christmas Eve and spent an hour sewing it all together. The perfect quiet time project when the house is still sleeping.
Inside. Pretty basic, great way to use up the wool felt.
Christmas Greetings!

After finishing the second pair of Fuzzy Feet, I dove into my fabric stash and created these two little bags. They are both lined, no pockets though. One is for the final box to my SP9 that I send to. I am truly working on using up my stash. Next on [...]

Whimsical pillow for a co-worker that I finished yesterday. Portions of the applique are from wool skirts and jackets I found at a thrift store, brought home, washed and dried hot. Tada! Do you get the irony behind the scene? Kitties love mice, right? Should I add my sense of [...]

Greenhouse

Tada! The picture seems to make the greenhouse look very simple…well, it is. I put cedar boards on the outside bottom to keep those icky things out. Hey, it’s only 3:50 p.m., I have a good hour left to work in the garden…just love those leaves everywhere.

More to deal with…

Yesterday, I also discovered that my small, inexpensive greenhouse was ripped apart like a trailer in a huricane. The frame was a metal with couplings. Some of the couplings busted, alot of the metal bent and twisted, the original cover ripped and shredded in spots. Luckily, I had just purchased a new [...]

The tree that picked the side with all the wood in it. It’s a two-bay wood shed. Only one side filled this year since DH has been in Eastern Washington a majority of the time working. No wood split for next year yet.
The “root” of the matter. I’m 5′8″…so you get [...]
