Catching Up

Hello Friends...it's been a very busy few weeks, with the start of school, programs for the kids and our basement repair after the flood over the summer.  We are almost finished (yeah) and just need to put things back in place.  I've also managed to work on a scarf pattern using the gorgeous yarn I purchased in the summer when we visited the Purl Bee Soho.  Take a look:


 


 
 
If you're interested please visit my Etsy Shop for the pattern.



Baby Lisa Blanket -- Tah Dah!

Hello Friends...I'm finally finished the baby blanket I've been working on for some time.  Border done, ends weaved in, photos taken and pattern published.  I'm really pleased with the overall result.  My sister-in-law chose the colour combination...I'm loving the gray!  I'm calling it the "Baby Lisa Blanket" - take a look:

 

For more information about the pattern, I've put this one is my shop.





The Year Ahead

Hello Friends...I trust the New Year is treating everyone well.  I'm not one for New Year's resolutions, but I do enjoy looking ahead and setting some goals.  After about a year and a half at our now house, I feel as though we've somewhat settled in, but there are many projects to get to around the house.  Repainting is one project, for which we are starting next week, however, I'm still undecided on my colour.  Originally I wanted to go with Benjamin Moore's Coventry Gray, but after doing a sample board, I'm concerned it's just too dark for our living room / dining room space.  So, I'm thinking, the next colour down on the chip, Stonington Gray and Wickham Gray for our hallway area.


This is the Coventry Gray.  Unfortunately I don't have a sample board of the Stonington Gray, but I think I may go with that one.  Here's a link to their sample.

Also on the project list is repainting an old fold down secretary desk and using it in our dining room, as that seems to double best as our office/homework space.  Pictures to follow on once I start that project.

On crochet front, between family and friends, there are some more babies on the way.  So, I've been working on a new blanket...here's a sneak peak in gray again:





Happy New Year!

I just wanted to wish all my readers and friends a very Happy New Year - here's hoping that 2013 brings peace, good health and prosperity and creativity to all our lives. 

It's been a busy yet relaxing holiday with the kids...we've been blessed with snow, so the kids have been enjoying some tobogganing.  Although it's been quiet on the blog front for me of late, I do have one WIP to share.  I must have started this a couple of months back and have been squeezing it in between other projects.  Here's a sneak peak:



 

 
 
Look for a free pattern in the next month or so...
