Finished!
Sirdar Snuggly Yarn Baby Cardigan (still in need of buttons) |
Of course, staying true to form, I had to "alter" the pattern a little in order to get the "Snowdrops" yarn to work for the trim.
Go Figure.
Speaking of staying true to form, I made some ginger cookies the other day. I followed the recipe to a "T"- and they didn't turn out all that great.
I you'd think I would have learned my lesson by now: Change the recipe (or pattern, or whatever) all I want, I'll be happier with the product if I do.
Oh well, lesson *kinda* learned.
Circular Needle Shawl Pin (Thanks to my husband for the idea!) |
This past week has proven to be somewhat productive. Spent a little bit of time in my studio. Among other things I made this here shawl pin.
<-------------
Luckily, this means I have some more finished shawl pins and earrings to post in my Etsy shop.
Working on getting the baby's room ready means a little bit of crafty stuff going on. I won't go into that now, though.
Friday was apple picking day. 31 lbs. later...
Coming up this week: Apple Extravaganza
I love your first baby sweater! Catherine, please put me the text list or whatever for when Baby Z is born. I am anxiously awaiting the call every day as your due week approaches! Also, I really want to buy a shawl pin. Would those work with scarves too? And, I need to stop by your place to drop off your little Tupperware gift. Hopefully more creative gifts from me to you will follow but you know you were a while back awarded these sippy cups! :)
ReplyDeleteI hope to see you, but I know you're busy... at least give me a "Hey", sis!! Love you lots
:) Stay healthy and well
Hi Laura!
ReplyDeleteI have been so all over the place- I am so sorry we missed your opening! I hope it went well, though.
We will let you know when Baby Z is born-- I am anxiously awaiting her arrival, too!
A shawl pin would certainly work with a scarf, too, but it may depend on the weight of the scarf- I can always make something slightly larger for you if you have a heavy scarf in mind :)
Everything is going well with us, just the waiting game now...
*Hugs and Hellos to you*
