Getting there...

Of course I was going to try and post every Monday but it just didn't seem right to post about NOTHING! lol

My mother has come up to visit and is helping me get ready for our 4th of July Family Gathering. We have cleaned and gardened and just sat around talking. :) It has been a pleasure.

Here is our new project. Nothing big...just picking out the weeds and adding some flowers and mulch.

So that is the front garden against the house and then we have a little side garden by the garage.

Here is the half built Compost bins...

So I hope to finish those this week and for what we have left....

1. Stain mailbox post and put in
2. Stain posts for hammock/arbor and then build
3. Raised Flower beds around trees that hammock is going in between
4. Finish mudding Shades room for paint and trim.

Of course cleaning and organizing the house is always on every body's list of things to do...should I have even mentioned that one?


OK so lets get to the fiber arts part of this...

Finished Objects:

Vortex Shawl with my friend Melody's hand spun yarn.

and that is it, but it is a BIG it! lol

WIPS...

Top Down Scoop Neck Cardigan by Knitting Pure & Simple out of Black Cascade Ultra Pima Cotton.
I am doing short sleeves and making it a little cropped so it flatters me a little bit more.

Still working on DH's socks. I'm only about half way down the foot now.

I did start a secret project for a Bride to Be :) I know she doesn't read this but JUST IN CASE. a know? :) Their wedding is on the 29th so i can reveal soon.

Coming Up:

I still have the Calza Shawl and the Faberge Shawl. I missed my Calza Shawl class for short rows but being the AWESOME LYS owners that they are she said I could go in and she would show me what is what :)

I would also like to take some of my hibernating projects out to finish those off. SO MANY!! @_@

FIBER GOODNESS:

As for spinning I am STILL working on that green gradient Alpaca/Silk blend.

For some weird reason I am not even getting excited about TDF :( I think it might have to do with all the stress around here lately. I just don't feel like adding the TDF to it.

SEWING:

NEW!! I've got 1 quilt going and 2 more I want to do. Also some bags I would like to make myself and 3 for Shades teachers by Monday.

No pressure LOL

SCHOOL:

Here is a new section for me too. I will be starting full Time college. I go Tuesday night to pick my classes and the closer it gets the more nervous I get!
