Back in the Saddle

Again. There have been lots of happenings, but I just haven't felt like blogging. Lazy, I know. I have been busy, usually just spinning my wheels, but sometimes turning out a finished project. Remember the scarf I was working on? After messing up and ripping out 3 times (yes, 3) I am finally nearing completion. Notice I didn't say I was done. Here it is on Mother's Day, with Jesse kindly modeling.

I also finished a cute summer top. Too bad it doesn't fit me. I made Jesse try it on so I could get a picture. Naturally I had to use a hair clip to pin the back, because it's way too big for her. But it's cute, even if I'll never wear it! I even altered the shoulder width, since I'm shoulder challenged, but I didn't pay any attention to the width of the bottom. Apparently I'm not at all challenged there. sigh.

I've been busy packing and sorting, having a yard sale, and even attending a knitting get-together last Monday night. It was so much fun! I've never gotten together with more than one person at a time to knit, so this was an entirely new experience for me. I ended up buying a new punch needle for my latest craft obsession, and a new pattern. This one:

Punch needle is so easy, and fun! It's a good way to use up all that DMC floss you have left over, since you no longer do cross stitch!
And, as usual, a few kid pics, from Mother's Day.


Oh, and dessert.
