Summer Flying Past
Is August half over already? Where does the time go? It's been a busy month full of different activities. I'll shoot for the digest version here.
1. I won photo caption contest on Thia's blog. Check out the boo-tay:
Patterns and yarn and needles, oh my! And don't forget the cell phone and sunglasses cozies handmade by Thia. Plus a knitting magazine and "Knitticisms".
Check out my favorite page:
Nuff said. Thank you Thia for all the great prizes!
2. I have some FO's to prove that I have been knitting. This is Blossom from the Jan '06 issue of MagKnits.
In place of the suggested wool from New Zealand, I used 2nd Time Cotton which is made from recycled cotton. Here it is being modeled by Frank:
He's a little larger than the average baby girl, but you get the idea...I think Yarn Harlot is right about newborns waiting to arrive until you've finished the gifts you've made for them. Lucky for Jazz, I finished early and so her baby arrived a few days early. I think this dress will look better on her than it does on Frank. But at 6 lb 10.5 oz, it might be a year before it fits. Little Miss Luna was born Saturday morning and is so precious. It was so nice to hold a little baby. She was all new and sleepy and her mouth was tinier than I remember a newborn mouth to be. Congratulations Jazz!
3. I have somehow developed the bad 'Car-ma'. Last Monday while driving to work, my windshield met a very large rock that left a very large dent in my windshield. Then this morning, the bottom side of my car met someones carboard box full of God-knows-what. Fortunately, as far as I can tell, it left behind no souvenirs. And is it just me or is anyone else experiencing that invisible car feeling on the highway? I have lost count on how many times I have been cut off lately. I thought red cars stood out...
4. I also finished a machine quilted changing pad, but forgot to take a picture of it before I gave it to Jazz. It was a pink fabric with little bumble bees all over it and it had a blue binding with white daisy's on it.
5. On the homefront, I have developed a Project Runway addiction. So sad that Bradley is out, but I know it was meant to be. I will miss his cute little witticisms.
6. The other new project around the home is laminate flooring. I am prepping my concrete floor and it's been an adventure, but I have confidence that I can do it and it will look fabulous! Someday I will post a picture.
