My LIttle Girl Got Married!

Isn't she a beautiful bride?

Imagine that!! They fit!

Brothers! So cute!

Yep, they are my grands...

...just two of six!

Ta Da!

... and here is Tackler holding Little Man

...happily showing off his leggings made by his loving grandma!

Not my usual modus operandi...

Those in the know....

...Know that I don't usually finish projects...

Unless C2 is involved, or occasionally, C3...

Please NOTE that dolly is wearing finished leggings!

Not only that but they are already in the mail on their way to Little Man! ...Hopefully before he outgrows them!

Watch for a picture of Little Man in these fun leggings soon!

Thank you, Machelle, at www.chopped-tomatoes.com, for your help and wonderfully well written pattern! You can find it and more here!

The Zen of Knitting?

Perhaps I should begin by saying this is NOT about the Zen of Knitting. I cannot say that I have found Zen...

No, all I find are dropped stitches... and fewer rows than I had three days ago.. See how cute these little leggings are? You can get the pattern here. That is all that is keeping them on the needles. They are so CUTE!

See Mother knit!

See Mother knit with 8 needles!

See Mother drop a stitch.
See Mother try to pick it up.

See Mother rip 13 rows.

Funny, funny Mother!

Perhaps I should have stopped with this one leg. Now, that was cute! Little Man however has two legs. Socks? Maybe I should have just made socks... No, C2 wanted soakers.

BittyBaby was happy with one sock. Why couldn't C2 be happy with just one long sock? I must have spoiled her.

Got Movie?

For Christmas my granddaughters are getting little kitchens.
What else can you do in November besides make food to stock them?
Well, obviously a lot! C2 and I have spent the last two weeks since I arrived to meet our newest grandson, Little Man,(See his nest here) and play with his siblings Tackler, Prince and Pretty Girl doing almost anything BUT make progress on our projects. We find ourselves at midnight just starting to work. One of the biggest problems we face is stopping C2 from adding to our workload... We read blogs and keep finding things we just HAVE to make, too!

The popcorn above( from here) is the first of the projects to reach wrapping stage! Ta! Da!

Out of the Boxes!

We're up and running away!  ;-)  Ok, not really....but Carrie is teaching me how to blog.  Here are some photos of the closet in my new studio!

Like the ribbon holder?  Darrell made that for me  ;-) 

 Who would've thought a 25 year-old could be so creative.

THAT'S HOW FABRIC IS SUPPOSED TO LOOK!!!!  

Thanks, Darrell, for organizing my stash!

Finally a brand new old floor

Who would have thought we would ever get around to staining the floor of the Studio? Well, I guess most people thought we would get to it LONG AGO...

Gary is making progress but it was slow, hard work... and a BIG floor.

This is it! Just the way I wanted it!
