Challenge Done!!

Today is the last day of the NaBloPoMo challenge. And I made it!! Yep, I have posted to this here blog every day for the entire month of November. Yippee!

It feels good - I've finished the challenge, I've crossed that bridge.

I probably should challenge myself more often. But I am glad that this one is over. I will keep up posting more to my blog and that's good because I almost let it die over the summer.

No Pics - Too Busy

No pictures tonight, but I've been busy. I've got the front half of the Shell Lace Jacket blocked out (and I will have a picture of it tomorrow). And I'm almost finished with the third triangle of my tree skirt.

I'm also almost finished with the NaBloPoMo challenge of posting every day for the month of November. All I have left are two more posts after this one!!

Holiday Reminder

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. So sometime between the food, the parades, the football games, remember to be...

God has blessed me so much over the past few years. I have a warm dry home, a loving husband, a good job, and wonderful friends, both real-life friends and internet friends. I haven't always had these things in my life, and I haven't always appreciated these blessing. But I am so glad to be blessed.

Check back tomorrow!

Honesty time! I'm posting for the sake of posting. The shawl I've been working on is all felted, but my picture-taking man has gone to sleep. So I'll post pictures and descriptions tomorrow.

I've started knitting the Shell Lace Jacket today. It is going pretty well. Hubby even mentioned that my knitting speed has increased. He's right and I should actually be able to finish this jacket within this lifetime.

But I really need to put it aside and work on the afghan I would like to give him for Christmas.

So many projects! So much yarn! So little time.....

Half-way!

I've met a goal of sorts today. Well, really I've met half a goal today. I've been taking part in the NaBloPoMo or National Blog Posting Month. Which means, I blog every day for the month of November. Since today is the 15th, I have made it thru half the month and posted each day! Yeah for me!!

Blog Doodlin'

I made a button! With the ducky face!! (I really like that duck. ) I've been trying to figure out how to make a neat looking button. I came across a web tutorial of how to make a button using Paint Shop Pro. While reading the 3-4 page tutorial, I realized that I could make exactly what I wanted using the Paint program that came with my computer. So I did and you can see the result in the sidebar.

Also, I've applied for approval to join the Crochet Blogs web ring. I think web rings are neat and they can lead to some really interesting places. So I've got my fingers crossed that this blog will be approved for admission to Crochet Blogs. It's still a new blog and doesn't have a whole lot of content yet but I think it will be okay.

Gotta Love the Mailman!!

I got two packages in the mail Monday. The really, really good one was this one here. My order from Webs arrived! Three skeins of Cascade 220 Quatro destined to become warm winter socks. I decided last week that I would learn how to knit socks. Took a trip to Barnes & Nobles and got the book 'Knit Socks!' Ordered the yarn on Friday and I've got socks in progress. Sorry, but I don't have a photo of the WIP because I'm working on them in my office before my work day actually starts. But I'll be sure to post the finished product!

I'm almost finished with my doily for the Crochetville doily swap. I believe Julie said we could make two if we wanted, and I may just do that.

It's Hot in Mississippi and we need rain. (And that five-minute shower we got this afternoon just doesn't count!) How's your weather?

First Post

Gotta figure out how this blogger thing works. So I'm gonna check out the help and get going. This is just a test post more or less.
