Apron/Sweater Redux Endeavors November 20, 2006
I’ve been a busy girl! Not really..but I like to pretend I am 
In a few days I’ll be on my way to sunny Florida. It’s a warm 60 degrees down there! Woo hoo! I’m spending Thanksgiving with my generous brother and his wonderful family. His wife is the best piece quilter EVER! She’s really talented. Actually, she’s part of my crafty background. When I was young, I would stay with them in Monrovia, CA. She would break out her stamps and we would have ourselves a blast! That’s also where I got my fear of oven doors..but that’s another story….
So! For a great big “THANK YOU” on Thanksgiving, I’m making my sister in law an apron, and if time permits…matching potholders. This is the pattern from Amy Butler’s In Stitches. It’s really easy, but I’m such a visual person that I had to spend a couple days reading the pattern to visualize what happens. M thought I was highly confused due to the furrowed brow!
Here are some in progress pics…

Cute christmas trees!!! It is for a swap I am doing. I’m just hoping I can finish them in time with Thanksgiving coming right around the corner. Maybe our mail out day should be monday the 4th…hint hint!
Now, dog zen:
(this is while I was getting ready for work. She rubs it in…think *yawn* – *stretch* “why ya gettin up sugar?”)
Yay! I’m apart of something October 20, 2006
I’ve dipped my toes into the virtual crafting world..and now I’m apart of something!
cake+pie and freshly{blended} joined up to do an ORNAMENT SWAP! How cool is that? I love how it is global too….And it came at a weird time. I had just gotten the new Gooseberry Patch book and thought how COOL it would be to do an ornament swap, but with a whopping 2 friends locally…I got discouraged REAL quick. Perhaps I’ll do a long distance one with my sisters and mom. But..I’ve already got my idea for my ornament! I gotta keep it hush hush you know. My secret pal might actually lurk onto my blog
