Card 2 for papercrafting



This is another card that I was able to complete as set this weekend. As I sit here working on this, I'm multi-tasking by putting together the new sets that I received Friday, finally!! I've been so eager for its arrival. Now to get the book together that I imagined while waiting for the stamps and paper to arrive should help finish this part of the papercrafting for a few minutes!!

More Papercrafting






The above cards are for my cards in a jar. These smaller ones are for that purpose. They are so much fun to make and have on hand. I've been working on these for awhile and soon hope to have enough of a variety to give the variety as gifts. All of these ideas came from my SU leader, Jeri, whose does such a great,creative job of leading us!

Papercrafting






Now onto another source of pleasure. I love to work with paper and am a Stampin' Up demonstrator. These next couple of cards are from one of their kits that you can make in just a short time. Well, maybe not such a short time but with the supplies on hand and by your side I can get several cards done in an evening.

Knitting Joy



This is my for fun Montego Bay scarf that I can take to work to knit. It is a repeat of 4 rows so I can usually get a few rows done even with interruptions. Love that sea silk. It doesn't photgraph well but it is going to have such a nice drape to it. It feels good to have a pattern go as it should and doesn't kill my brain. :)

EZ rib warmer in process


The last couple of days I've been working on either completing or trying to get projects completed. This is not the completed EZ rib warmer vest but I am working on it. My visualizing still isn't working properly for I am not certain how I am going to connect the back and the sides. My hope (faith) is that the closer I get the more of an ah-h-h moment will happen.

Still learning to blog

One learns new things every day and one I have finally learned today is to work on getting into my blog. I guess I have short term memory loss :)! Anyway, I think I have it down now and will try to add more to it on a regular basis.

Right now I'm knitting on an Elizabeth Zimmerman vest and will try to finish it before the Olympics are over. One side is almost done!! I will take pictures tomorrow and add them to the site. I'm doing this with someone else and she has helped me with the pattern. It makes sense after reading it LOTS of time. This is for the Ravelry, a knitting and crochet group. If you do either, go look for it. There are so many great ideas etc. I'm still working on socks and hope to have some to show you soon.
