So today is another lovely spring day!

And I'm inside at home because I feel poopy. I got a chill last week and I have been developing a cough, sore throat and sinus issues ever since! Dang!
It sucks, days like this I really love my job, I do garden maintenance and landscaping, and the flowers that you see in the pic of my little pal are just the begining! LOL
Here we have sakura (cherry blossoms) already! So pretty!
I'll get a picture for another day's posting!

So thanks for all the compliments on my spacy scarf! I appreciate it! Also, Errika, it was the Feburary wishlist swap that I got my little pal from, I was the organizer this month and I think that I will do April as well! Craftster is fun! LOL
Hope you are all having a great day!

New Friend!

So, I had a suprise waiting in my mailbox yesterday!

I just have to show you!

Lovingly delivered from Scotland all the way here to Canada by Shooting Star! Gotta love swaps! I had a little pal. It sure was a big hit last night at Knit Night! LOL

I also promised an update of my sweater........ this is the Buttony sweater from ohmystars. Gotta get the arms on and the buttons too, but other than that not bad huh? This would me my "March" sweater..... yes I am still working on Feburary. I still love it too! I have been swatching for "April" and "May" LOL. Who dosen't love sweaters!

So anyway that is my update for today! Thanks for stopping by!

YAY a picture!

Well, I guess I have been dragging my but about updating pictures a bit! Sorry about that, the pictures keep the knitting blog an intresting place to visit! LOL

So here is a finnished double knit scarf that I gave to my brother..... I already have one!

My story? I love the space invaders, I have a handmade bracelet with them on it too.... so it was a logical jump. There is a great new chart up for the socks on the cover of the most recent knitty, but I needed more, so I created my own arrangement from the little guys! There are so many charts out there!

I hope you like, and I have other things to show you..... it will have to be later this week. Have a good one!

About time for a fresh post...

Well, I think so anyway!
I finished the body of the Buttony sweater that I am in a KAL for.
Now onto the sleeves, I just have to get that hat off the needles! LOL

I was at the Weavers and Spinners Guild meeting for Langley last night. I saw some fantastic work, spoke to some lovely people, and generally had a good time. Fiberfest is coming up in Abbotsford at the Tradex May 10-11. I wonder if I will have time to volunteer...... that would be cool! I did however get a second job lined up so I may not be able to. Gotta put away that money for a house, and to make that debt go away.

So I have been carding the fleece that I dyed. I can't wait to try spinning it, but first I have to send some out. I promised some to a friend and I am sending to Australia for my current swap. Yes, the one that I am organizing..... I had to join, everyone is so great! LOL

Oh and I was the recipient of a gift today. Faye gave me a shalish weaving loom.... and some of her own handspun fiber! She even had some form her ram "Sam" he was a dark thing! I hope to have pictures very soon, of everything! LOL

Man, some days...

Happy St. Patricks day!
I am not Irish, but hey who doesn't like green beer? LOL
So I have a few things to post this weekend, but my grandmother is flying in from Toronto and we are cleaning alot today, I had hoped to finish off the sleeves for my Mariah, but I have no idea if that will happen!
So I am updating to let you (those who pop in from time to time) know that I am working on stuff, and I do miss giving you pictures, but I will fix that soon!!
LOL, I hope!

Thanks for the note on the t-shirt quilt idea! I did find this site that I think may be helpfun in the future, as well as taking a kind "commenter" on her offer for advice! LOL Love the internet!
I think that I don't have as many shirts as I thought! I may have to scour the thrift shops, too bad the mian one here is VV and the pricing seems to have changed recently! (a bit high... like, 7.99 for a tie! no kidding) So I am glad to say that there are two other locally owned and run shops that I feel deserve my business, the Bibles for Missions, and Penny Pinchers...... both are for local charities, I know that ther are a few downtown that are for the SPCA, but I don't know where... suggestions? Thrift stores in the Langley, Surrey, Coquitlam, Aldergrove areas that are still thrift stores?!?!?! I appreciate the help! I will also take shirts that you think I will like that you don't know what to do with....

On a different note I joined the Relay for life! YAY the Beach Babes ride again!!!! Now I have a link page and everything!! So I have ideas for that too, I have to send out an e-mail to the tewm, I want to make shirts for us this year! We didn't have any last year, and I wan tto do it!! I hav egreat plans! If any of my teammates are listening........ pick up a shirt that I can paint for you, purple or blue.........and machine washable! YAY!! I will post some pics when I can...
