Busy Days!

Life has been very busy between Thanksgiving, dating, and doctors appointments.  Just gearing up for the season I am thinking. :)

Did manage some stitching time.  Dolphins are completely filled in now and just waiting for their last bit of back stitch than woohoo they are done.  Only like 9 years in the making but finally almost there.  Also put in a few stitches in my sampler.  I am loving working on this one.

Other than that have been knitting like a mad woman when time allows.  I have another present on it's way to being finished.  Worked a bit of crochet also but most of the work has been on the scarf for my daughter.  Made quite a bit of progress as you can see.

Started another ball on it this weekend.  That is about all for now.

Happy stitching!

Forward Movement

Progress has been made this week.  Took being sick and not going to regularly scheduled activities but at least it had an upside. : )

Finished a big knitting project!  Yep finally a finish!  Was a Christmas present on top of that so have my first Christmas present.  A win win situation.

The crocheted table cloth had another set back.  Ripped out the row again this morning but think I am once again back on track and plugging away.

Started a new knitting project yesterday before heading out to the Discovery Center where we say the Bodies exhibit.  The project is a scarf from Vogue Knitting Holiday 2008.  Made it before in a peach/tan color so thought I would do a new color of Universal long print.

This is the last one I did.

Monday night sat in the chair working on the dolphins.  They are so close!

Just a bit more fill in and then the outlining!  Very excited to see this one almost done.
Also worked a bit on this one.  Just had to add the red to get some pop in there.

 

 

Last weekend before getting sick, the man and I took a drive on what looked like the last fabulous day before winter.  We went up to Bogus Basin because I had never been up there.  The view was amazing!

Any hoo, not much else going on except had to order some yarn to finish one of my other projects.  Also did some cleaning in my craft room this morning.  Started to do some button holes to finish two blouses.  Would love to have them done but keep putting off the button holes for some reason.  Certainly wouldn't take long.  Just basic procrastination I am sure.

I am off to work on something else.  Happy Stitching!

Not much done!

Once again not much done.  First it was due to a headache and then a set back of ripping out 29 rows of stitching.  Two days worth of work.  I am now at two months without a finish and it is driving me nuts.  Tonight I am sitting in my chair and working on something.  Maybe finish the sewing on the project actually sitting in my chair.  Sounds like a plan to me.  Tired and in need of a rest I think.  Life has been a bit of a whirlwind but mostly of my own making.  Have had a restless spirit of late and feel the need for something to change.

Planted some little trees in my back yard today.  Hope they survive the winter. 

Heading to my chair.

Happy Stitching.
