Sorry!

Hi Everyone,

I'm so sorry I've been such a bad blogger lately.  My life has gotten so busy since I started working full time last fall.  I also feel like I've lost my blogging mojo.  I still post pictures on Instagram when I can.  I have been doing a lot knitting, crocheting and some stitching when I find the time.  I finished two pairs of socks...

"A Nice Ribbed Sock"

"Nine to Five Socks"

A wrap...

"Wiggle Wrap"

I have also started a few crocheted blankets, but I have yet to finish one.

"Soft Waves Ripple Afghan"

"Granny Stripe" - ripped out and restarted

"Granny Stripe" restarted using Annie's Place Rainbow Colour Sequence

Lastly, I started and finished a small Shepherd's Bush kit...

Shepherd's Bush "A Quaker Heart" kit

I have started another Shepherd's Bush piece recently - A Full Heart, the Shepherd's Bush 2014 Fold piece. 

I'm just doing a lot of filling in right now.  So that's what I've been up to for the last few months!  Hope you all had a great Mother's Day!  Hopefully, my next post won't take so long.  Until then, I can be found on Instagram!

More Peppermint Lane and Crocheting

I worked on this quite a bit yesterday. It's been a fun stitch. I have also been working on some Christmas presents. Since times are tough for everyone, my family has decided to only buy gifts for the kids. So instead of buying presents, I decided to make my mom and SIL some dish cloths and I also plan to make them some Christmas cookies and maybe throw in some chocolate. :)

Well, my baby is fussing, so this will be short! Write soon! :)

Not doing too much...

Which is why I haven't blogged in about five days. I did start on LHN Nature's Beauty last night. I'm really loving it! This is definitely my favorite LHN yet!



I'm using the recommend fabric - 32 ct. R&R Flax Fields and DMC thread. I can tell this design is going to be like chocolate for me... I'm not going to want it to end! :)

Well, I'm headed up to Georgia for a few days on Monday. I'm leaving Bradley and Matthew with my MIL and Jake with my mom. I'm so anxious over leaving Matthew - I've only been apart from him for two days before - and I was just a 1/2 hour away. I'm going to miss them all so much, but this is definitely a much needed break. I can't wait to sleep in, and not only sleep in, but have an uninterrupted sleep!

I have also been working on Bradley's ripple afgan. I think someone asked about the pattern before and I forgot to answer. The pattern comes from 200 Ripple Stitch Patterns by Jan Eaton. It has crochet and knit patterns.



I'm just using ordinary kitchen cotton from Lion Brand and Peaches & Cream. I'm trying not to have any rhyme or reason to my stripes - I've been asking Jake or Bradley which color to do next. :)

Tomorrow we are going to a spring training baseball game - Tigers vs. Braves. My traitor sons say they want the Tigers to win. I guess I'm the original traitor though because all of my family are Tigers fans. :) Well, not much else going on here. I'm hoping our hotel has wifi, so I can get online. Write later! :)

I met my goal and got a row of letters stitched! Next week I'll hopefully finish up the letters and then get back to the pomegranate border.

I'm going to work on Winter Wind tonight. I searched and searched everywhere for this project. I thought for sure it was lost and then I just found it. I was a little worried there for a minute.

While waiting for ds at school today I worked on his ripple afghan some. I think it's turning out very cute in a kitschy sort of way.



Well, Matthew is sleeping, so I'm going to try to stitch for a little bit! Thank you all for your kind comments! Write later! :)
