Happy New Year

     So apparently its 2012.  So much for keeping up with the blog.  December was crazy and it felt like one week not four.  I spent the first two weeks of December frantically finishing up my 60 dishcloth order.  Okay it wasn't really that frantic.  I then spent the next week finishing up the other few obligations I had to two other clients.  So here are the fruits of December's labor.

There they are all 60.  There variegated ones went over the best, from what I was told.  People were fighting over them.  Yea!

A Jayne Cobb hat.  I will never tire of these.  They're so fun and pretty easy.  I'm hoping to get some better pictures with the recipient.

     I don't have pictures of the potholder I made for my brother.  It's super ugly so it may be better I didn't take pictures.  I also need to get pics of the other dishcloths I made.  I see dishcloths in my sleep.  I will never be done knitting them, someone always wants some, and they're super portable.

     So, now that its 2012 and I'm lacking on orders, for the most part.  What am I doing with all my time?   Nerd Wars is over for now.  T3 finished Dec. 31 and I contributed nada.  I feel bad about that.  December and Nerd Wars doesn't mix well for me.  I'm thinking of starting the Jerod Flood hat I've been putting off.  My Hermione hat is kind of drafty in the really cold weather.  (Its in the single digits today)  I'm working on something for a wedding thats coming up, but she is one of my readers so I cant divulge much yet.  I was going to finish the shrug I started back in May, for the WIP challenge, but T3 is over.  The Holiday party is Saturday and I dont think I can get it done in four days.  So, hat it is!

YOP: Week 29

    The fair was a success.  My items did well and Liara got some ribbons as well.  We went to the parade on Tuesday, then down to the grounds once it was over.  We stopped by one local vender to grab some jewelry, grabbed some donuts from the Donut Diner then went to see how we placed.  Liara entered earrings that she hand-made with clay.  They did not place.  She entered a beaded bracelet that got first. She also entered three of her drawings.  A Pegasus, a bunny and a magical worm.  The bunny and the worm received third and the Pegasus received second.   The bunny is my personal favorite of all the drawings she's done.  There is always a really good turn out in the drawing and photography categories, so she was up against some stiff competition.  I'm really happy she received some ribbons. My items are as follows: Rotini Beanie; First Enchantress MKAL; First. Sunburst Potholder; Second.  Cow and Hen Dishcloth set; ...

YOP: Week 30

      I didn't have a very eventful crafting week.  My time was limited and I think the weather is affecting my knitting mojo.  I had to work last weekend so my husband picked up the items from the fair along with the help of our daughter.  It looks as though she was supposed to get a first place ribbon for her earrings but they forgot to attach the ribbon, or it was attached and fell off.  I'll get an official notification in the mail with our winnings in a few weeks.       My garden was looking really good, the peppers and carrots had almost completely regrown.  I made the comment to myself Saturday evening when I was watering everything that "oh wow its all looking really good."  My parents came over for lunch Sunday so I took my mom over to see the garden.  We've been busy so they haven't been over since we put in the raised beds.  Well, the joke was on me.  The deer or whatever it is came back and decim...

YOP: Week 34

     I did some crafting this week, but it was all for the swap.  I was nearly out of interfacing so I ran over to The Quilt Shop in Watertown.  I'd been there once a couple of years ago and thought their prices were very good considering they are independent and Joanne and Hobby Lobby were both in Watertown at the time.  They have really expanded and have a tremendous selection.  They have more novelty type fabrics now, which is what I prefer for my bags, so I will be going there much more often.... probably too much.  I got interfacing and I found two prints that were perfect for my swapee.  I really wasn't expecting to find what I did.  I sewed a bag with those two prints and two of the fabrics I picked up from Walmart.  The Walmart fabric was acceptable.  Not groundbreaking, but decent enough that if I find cute prints I'll probably grab them.  I finished the handknit earlier today.  I want to steam block it yet, ...
