I love the holidays!

The past few weeks have been a whirlwind! After my husband turned 40, and Halloween, I turned 40! I celebrated for over a week, too. (Hey, I don’t half-ass anything, LOL!) We had a small get-together at home with my in-laws and a few friends, then got in the car and took off for AnnContinue reading “I love the holidays!”

Halloween Was Fantastic!

So far I have done about 170 yards of it. I haveContinue reading “And they’re off!”

Been a busy lil’ Bee..

I have been a knitting FIEND lately! This past week I’ve done 2 dishcloths: 1 hot pad: and have cast one yet another dishcloth and a mitered dishtowel, which I expect to finish this weekend. The hot pad was pretty important for me to do… I’m getting my long-deceased grandmother’s dining set in August, andContinue reading “Been a busy lil’ Bee..”
