Well I know... I know

Well just a quick life update, with the lovely pandemic going on things have been insane for me and our family. I am still waiting to go back to work even after being told that I would be able to start back in July. Little has been back at daycare since I was informed that just before her birthday. Which she is officially a preschooler this year, not just a preschool 3-4 yrs she is actually in pre-kindergarten classes at her daycare. I am so proud of her. 

Crafting wise I have completed several projects and started a few as well. I have finished the strawberry cardigan for the littles Easter dress, and am currently working on the steggie sweater for this fall for her. I’m trying really hard to open her color horizons as she only wants to wear pink.  I did get her to agree that stegosaurus’ were not pink in color fully so she could have pink for the spikes but not for the whole body of the sweater. Crochet wise I did just complete a stuffed unicorn and started the Sophie’s universe CAL blanket. I love the difficulty of this pattern so far it’s pretty easy and it’s showing me all sorts of new stitches. 

Crafty goodness: Quickie update

Knitting:

baby shower gift finished it today, 2/27/15 yep just under the wire for this one as the baby shower is tomorrow afternoon. But to be completely honest as I am writing this I do still have to finish about half of the bind off and weave in the ends, but I should be finished completely before I go to bed tonight. I am excited for the mom to see this peice, I did get a couple of things to go with it

This project took the amount of time it did just because I was not feeling staying at home all day. 

WIP Crochet: 

I am still working on my granny square blanket, the first blanket I have made for myself and my boyfriend. However I seem to always put personal projects on the back burner, so to speak when something comes up. I would post a photo but it really is the same amount of progress as there was last update. 

Planned:

1. I have some yarn left over from the baby blanket so I told the Mom-to-be that I could make some baby booties for her in those colors if she would like. 

2. My best friend also asked me to make her a couple pairs of booties for her to give a friend at a baby shower, right now this is just in the pricing out phase of the planning process. And I am excited for this as well, it is a color scheme that I am not used to for baby projects by any means... She wants a deep red/wine shade, I really cannot wait to work on this for her. 

Well I think that is it for this update post, hopefully I will has more to share with you for the next one, should these be monthly or bimonthly posts? I am still deciding on that let me know what you think. 

Luv ya all! Talk to you soon. 

Crafty update: UFO edition.

Let's see what Unfinished objects do I have in my possession currently... 

Well there is the Galveston square shawl, honestly I don't know where that one got to I was working on it for the Olympics but when we moved I'm not sure what box it got put into and we never really unpacked. I did I believe make it to chart b and row 32 of that chart. I was keeping a pretty accurate tally on a note in my phone as I couldn't print out the pattern. 

There is also the granny square afghan I was working on while I was working at the maternity store and forgot where that had gotten to for the last couple of months. However I did recently find this again and even found where I had placed the pattern so I will start working on it again tomorrow morning, after I file paper work. 

And lastly there is the baby dress that I was working on for a co-worker in that maternity store...

She already had the baby so I don't think it will work anymore as that gift and will probably get ripped out and made into a doll of some sort. I'm thinking it will be a teddy bear and I will make the bear in the grey color and make a dress or outfit for the bear in the hot pink she wanted the flowers on the dress to be.
