How could I resist?

That sweet little voice as she climbed on the couch next to me and asked, "Can I knit with you Mom?"


She was knitting a scarf (just in case you couldn't tell from the picture...) and she wanted to "do it myself"!


I couldn't be prouder, I'll have her whipping out socks by the time she's 5.

I have been crafting...

...but I just can't share any of it yet, because they are all presents for different people and occasions... well, that and I have been knitting. No I didn't follow doctors orders and wait a week. Don't look at me like that, I had to take the brace off when it was just me and the kiddos. So since it was off anyway... I am feeling a lot better though. My thumb and wrist aches a little at night or when I stretch my thumb a lot. Oh, here is what I am trying desperately to finish before next week.

It is a quilt that we started when my friend Dinee was pregnant with her first baby, who will turn 2 next week. (Yeah, I know... you don't have to say it.) And baby girl #2 will hopefully be making her appearance next week too. So I am going to finish it in time for Libby's birthday. The good news is that it will match the girl's bedroom still. Wish me luck!

Very sad news

I am under doctors orders to not craft for one week! I don't know if I will make it.... pout... whimper... sob...

Another Giveaway!

This giveaway is over on my friend Kristine's blog, Saying it Simply. She and her sister, Kourtney, have a great home based business where they make custom home decor and signs.

And she is doing a give away for a custom order right now! The hardest part is choosing which book I would want made!

Winner!

So we picked a winner with highly advanced method to make sure everyone had an equal chance to win, I wrote all your names on little slips of paper and let Evie pick one. And the winner is...

For those who didn't win, well... now I have your measurements and there is always Christmas... Congratulations to Susan, I'm know from reading your comment that these socks will definitely be appreciated. Now to get knitting.
