Blanket Projects – Koelewyn Twins Granny Square Blanket, Day 5

Blanket Projects – Koelewyn Twins Granny Square Blanket, Day 3

     I’m making a deliberate choice to finish each day on a different color so I can see which color I want to end the blanket with. Right now I’m very undecided on what color to end with… so hopefully that helps in the decision making process. more…

Blanket Projects – Logan’s Cube Blanket, Day 16

     This is one of those projects that I am very proud of completing. When I suggested the idea to Logan he seemed somewhat more enthusiastic than when he discusses most things, besides his guns and tea.

Blocking Board – Basketweave Pattern

Blocking Board – Basketweave Pattern

     Sometimes no matter how much you try to get things to line up when blocking it just doesn’t agree with you. I am really looking forward to seeing this as a completed pillowcase or even in a different color because I really like this design… even if it currently doesn’t photograph that spectacularly. more…

Lazy Friday – State of the Office

Lazy Friday – State of the Office

     The past few weeks have been very rough of my office. There were several projects with deadlines that stacked on top of each other and it became a game of shifting stuff around in order to just finish the project at hand. Now that I have the Easter eggs, six graduation ribbon leis, a […] more…
