37/365 YARN ALONG

It’s so dark and grey outside I can’t get a decent picture of anything today! So here is something I have been working on for awhile. An Irish scarf. Many mistakes- but still looking good.

Please join me over at Ginny’s for

YARN ALONG.

Oh, and the snow stopped. Yesterday I had visions of scenes from the 

LONG WINTER.

All done and shipped!

Strange Sunday morning, the air was thick pea soup and so cold ice was suspending mid air.

Beautiful but eerie!

Hope your weekend was everything you needed.

31/365 YARN ALONG

A Sweet in Threes little vest knitted and gifted for a beautiful 1year. And I got the buttons on [ the day of the party] to complete the little project.

This is such a lovely easy/fast knit that is so versatile to wear on any child.

I love  how the red buttons “pop” this vest adding endless options pairing the vest to outfits.

26/365 HOME

One more hospital to visit today then I am heading home…

Glory, Joy, Excited!!!!

I am tired! Does anyone really sleep well in unfamiliar sleeping arrangements?

I did get 10 rows done on my scrappy 2 inch quilt. Little Featherweight, she is a dream to sew on and travel with…we have bonded, we have. 

On a sad note-Oh America, when are we going to put down the guns and settle our difference 

in a civil manner. Another mass shooting, more heartbreak. All in my prayers.

25/365 YARN ALONG

 Wednesday, hump day, half way through the workweek….

But best of all YARN ALONG day! I’m out of town this week and have spent 8-9 hours at work-training for my next adventure, but, when I return to the hotel ,I turn on an English murder mystery-[they are so polite and calm when murdering their fellow man, I’m never scared watching an English murder mystery], fire up my Featherweight sewing machine,[ I brought 2 with me, just in case one was not working] and spend the evening sewing 2 inch squares together…nirvana!

I was invited to a scrapbooking gathering tonight but I said I am really enjoying my time sewing in the hotel. I wonder what house keeping thinks seeing my machine and ironing setup each morning? I drape my rows over the machine so they can see progress; I sure hope it puts a smile on their faces.

I thought I would get more knitting done, but so far I have only completed a few rows each day on my wrist warmers, and Christmas is coming on fast. Handmade gifts will be slim this year, but several handmade items were passed out during the year! Some years are like that.

How is your week going? What have you been working on?

Crazy day, made my way in the dark to place of training, the day or I should say morning flew by…learning so so much. I sure hope I can remember all this excellent training I’m getting here, the people are so friendly and helpful! Then the craziest thing happened-the building went on LOCK DOWN, yes lock down ( lock your doors, get under desk kinda lock down-although we didn’t get under the desk, but kept working) for a couple of hours. Why the Lock Down I do not know, only the person of interest was taken down by where I parked my car. What?, I’m sorry-but that was a very unsettling afternoon!

I got back to my hotel, had dinner, then started sewing-how it settles me! Before bed I’m sure I will also be knitting,( I need lots of settling/centering this evening). 

Put together a whole lot of 2inch squares and sewed the first row together…yeah!

I’m also watching Beauty that Moves “Whole Food Freezer Cooking”, a class I signed up for a month ago. Heather voice is so reassuring and calming-I think I can go back tomorrow for more training.
Hope your day was NOT as exciting as mine.

22/365 WEEKEND

I can count on one hand the times I have had to travel for work, and this week makes #5 in 30 years. Yes, I’m in southern Colorado for the week! Not knowing what to do with myself, I’m not the going out party lady- I brought my sewing machine. For the week I plan to sew 2 inch squares, lots of them, knit in bed,(heaven) and do some yoga and reading. That should keep me busy here in the hotel!, don’t you think?

I so enjoy every time I sew on my little Singer. She just hums along like a burring kitty, sewing all those wee 2 inch blocks for an amazing scrap quilt! A scarp quilt I plan on keeping for me!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving and a slow peaceful weekend.

How was your weekend?

Please let me know.

yesterday we celebrated a lovely low key Thanksgiving meal with family. It was a small gathering, just what was needed. Today, I slept in till 0530, then took a 90 minute morning nap before really getting on with my day. I did venture out for about an hour and picked up a few things, mainly groceries, we are eating in tonight. Pan seared steak, carrots, rutabaga and sweat potatoes.

We had snow Thanksgiving and today too. And it is COLD out there. This afternoon has been spent knitting and watching Detective Morse! Gotta love those English murder mysteries, they are all so polite while dealing the dirty deeds.

Some happenings around here::

-The squirrel pattern is the next panel on My Favourite scarf 

-Homemade bread

-Fresh Eggs [ love the blue color eggs, they cheer up my mornings]

-Eating fresh eggs and HM bread on a grey snowy day with a cup of hot coffee.

-Monday I start my Freezer Cooking Class online.

-Monday I start a new training program for my job. 

What’s going on in your world?

{11/365} YARN ALONG

Oh Wednesday or better known as Yarn Along day how I look forward to your weekly visit. I so enjoy looking at what other yarners are doing and reading. I have queued so many projects from Yarn Along on my Ravelry favorites. Books, so many amazing books to read and I have read several straight from reviews on Yarn Along.

Modern Natural Knitter is a new release. I have only glanced through it but it looks promising and chucked full of great information.

As for my knit, well I have been watching this for months on two blogs: Lori Times Five, [when is she going to start blogging again? Instagram is not enough]! and Lucy’s 365.

This is a VERY FUN knit and uses up yarn, [I think]. Scrap quilts are suppose to use up fabric but I swear I always seam to have more when done with a scrap quilt;-\

So I will see if I really use up much scrap yarn. It is a great knit…I’ve already said that haven’t I?

Check it out on Ravelry.
