Wow -I think I'm in trouble :)

Of course none has too much going on - the only question is who doesn't. A few weeks ago I reorganized my sewing room and love the result. now if I could just find anything. I try to use common sense when putting things away, like logically asking if I were needles where will I be used the most? Then the next time I need them it takes me a half hour to find them. Waiting for the ah ha moment and then away I go again.

I've been working on a baby blanket made with minki on one side and fleece on the other - quilted with decorative stitches off my machine. It's kind of cute. My niece started out helping me about 4 years ago. I just took her word that she knew what she was doing - but she didn't. I worked on it for many sessions unsewing the whole thing. There are holes and it's stretched out. The biggest problem is it cost over $20 for the minki and I'm to cheap to toss it out. So hopefully I'll be able to salvage this one. :)

Next I started going to knit night at "all that Yarn" in casper, WY - what a cute little shop. There is an abundance of help - so I'm jumping in with my first pair of toe up socks on addi 2.5mm 2 at a time. I've never managed to complete any socks, but I'm going to get these done. Ramona started me on a new to me cast on method that is practically invisable and looks great. so far. :) I haven't got the first sock toe increase done yet. The directions are from crazy toes and heals book. Great information, lots of detail an awesome book for someone like myself who is a very visual learner. I'm still having a hard time with the left hand increase - dang hard to see. I guess I'm going to have to get out my magnifying glasses too.

I'm also working on an all wool quilt. It was a kit, but the finished size was more wall quilt than anything else, so I added lots of wool scraps and am making it look very old fashioned. Every block is of a different flower and I'm very satisfied with the overall result. It's on the machine right now waiting to be quilted - using a felted wool backing and no batting. It is going to be lap size and very warm for these cold Wyoming winters.

I'm trying not to buy anything new and working on existing supplies only. For the most part It's working fairly well.

I also have a turning 20 top finished - just waiting to be quilted; a few baby quilts one made with solid flannels for a boy with a very simple four patch design. Really cute. I have two - one for a boy and one for a girl baby quilt tops with very simple design flannel I finished a couple of weeks ago.

At the yarn store I saw an amazing bundle of yarns that change about ever 2 to 4 feet and the ending result was amazing - I'm going to try and duplicate it with my stash goodies.

There are many more UFO's to work, a couple of sweaters, several quilts, and now working on new cami and tap pants. Can't wait to get started on those.

Have ton's of fun and hopefully I'll remember to keep this up to date.
