Swirly mittens

DSCN1090

Amazingly, I finally finished a project (Ravelry link). Phew. It took forever since we have a little house (re)move-in the middle. Not really sure what is going to happen to this pair of mittens. The original mission of these mittens is a trade .. we will see.

Stormy Winter

J and N visited mid-June. (Yay, we (L) J and N visits!). It was great incentive for us to put our house back together (ahem, barely presentable, but thats a different story). J gave me this gorgeous long skinny scarf - STR 81% superwash and 19% silk in Stormy Weather. It is so soft and so purty. Thanks J!

Happy Birthday week to J..

Hi. And some strange weather for you. :)

It has been a very busy many weeks - moving back into our un-complete-remodel-house, all the associated house clean up projects, plus all the busy work. Which leads me to ... procrastination.. and J Happy Birthday week! ( You see, I am terrible with dates. ) On top of that, she sent me package with yarn (mmm PF!) and books (crochet, cause we all need another hobby) and trash ties (I am wearing one now!) and good smelly soap (lime lavender!) ..Phew.

Happy Birthday J!!! Fuzzies hug too!

Just a few more weeks ...

The house project is taking longer than expected. The weather has been colder than usual. I had to buy additional crafty stuff since we didn't expect to be in rental house for this extended period. I am counting down the days for the next few weeks ... all this plus work makes a stressy brain.

To pass the time and not get too anxious, I have been working on a good mindless Cheesylove. Plain, black, rib is just not interesting to post. I also swatched Venezia with Shetland natural black and natural white. Oh, I did manage to finish and gift a baby knit for this cute boy. Counting down the days .. at least the days are getting longer :)
