And now, a finished knit!

Back in November, when my son was in the hospital, and the Sanguine Gryphon was splitting up and selling off their yarn, I bout a skein of Mayhem in Bugga. I had plans to make my mother a gift, as she likes red and black.  After searching Ravelry for something that fit her style, I came across the Brass and Steam pattern.  And it was perfect. (and free!) I was hoping to get it done by mother's day, and for once, I beat the deadline! :)

I hope to get some better pictures after I give it to her. I wasn't feeling like modeling it yesterday.

So the yarn count is as stands

Hey, I'm still doing well. :)  This weekend is YarnOver in the cities, and I'm going. I can't wait! I would like to buy some yarn, but I have no plans.  I can tell you I won't be getting very much if I do, maybe enought for a sweater for my son, or something I can't pass up. :)

A finished object!

Notice how the dog was as close as possible to the quilt! So....close... not....touching....

Anyway.  This is a quilt that I finally finished and mailed off yesterday.  It's going to live at Pam's house, for her daughter. :) This project is from the Block Party book, which I'm pretty sure I bought the day we got it in the store at work. It's about 60x60 finished size, and I used yellow and green scrappy binding on it. I used lots of yellow and green leftovers from my stash, and I think the pink is Petal Pink from Kona.

And yes. Our Christmas lights are still up on the deck.

A wild and crazy Saturday night

Well. Not really. I worked today, but went home a couple hours early due to a headache that was heading towards migraine.  I took an nap, and felt better. But now, it's creeping back and I think I should just go to bed.

I've got to tally up some destashes, before I forget them.

Not  bad at all. I am looking at a couple destashs of yarn on Ravelry right now. Trying to decide what I really *need* for yarn. :)

Tomorrow being Easter, I have the day off and plan on spending it with family.  And I'm luckly enough to have Monday off as well, which I think I will spend part of the day cleaning, and part of the day sewing.

I am excited to see my son all dressed up in his "handsome clothes" tomorrow. I got him a sweet little outfit on the sale rack. Shirt, shoes, pants and a skull and crossbones tie. He's going to be rocking. :)
