Stamping and Scrapbooking

Every now and then I get a bit creative, here's a favorite card of mine:

Knit Toys and Dust Collectors

Wouldn't be fun to use up all of those small balls of yarn laying around the house? Can't sell 'em, can't throw 'em out, gotta USE them!


Here's my Gnome, thought he was kind of cute, next time he's going to be knit is brighter colors!

Bokeh anyone?

My cousin inspired me to buy a new camera, now I need to learn to use it and use it well.

Bokeh:
www.dictionary.com

Main Entry: bokeh
Part of Speech: n
Definition: a Japanese term for the subjective aesthetic quality of out-of-focus areas of a photographic image Example: The bokeh, or quality of the blurred image in the photograph, was described and discussed.

....they want me to take a picture out of focus on purpose?

Actually, I love the look, here's an attempt my first day using the camera!

Now.....HOW did I do that???

...And my daughter knits

Yup....me a teach myself how to knit leftie that throws has somehow managed to have a right handed daughter who through perserverance learned to knit!

Project(s) for the county fair:

1. Dropped-Stitch Scarf, hat and gloves....hopeful to be done!

2. Mermaid...tail almost done

3. Moose Pillow... a few rows done?

....I can't tease her too much, last year she knitted a baby sweater, booties and hat for her soon to be born cousin and won Reserve Champion!

.....she also knits baby hats for a charity she started called hats of love!

JUST A LITTLE PROUD!

Sweaters

I am addicted to sweaters, I love sweaters....I have to knit sweaters, my sweaters, all at once!

Currently on needles:

1. Fuzzy Purple Sweater, been on needles for about 2 years now...making headway, one arm and the neck is all that's left!

2. Cable knit sweater, have about 4 inches done...messed up on the cable, so I think I need to Frog it!

3. Purple, pink and grey striped sweater....almost done, and I started only a few weeks ago!

Begging to be on needles:

1. Great sweater, in a cool, summery key lime green!

Dishcloth Central

Here is my favorite cloth, it's my favorite not only because I came up with the pattern (for all I
know it's out there published somewhere, but in my head I made it up!) I love the colors!


...And you just have to make a scrubbie with the left over yarn!
