A BIG THANK YOU! and sharing other blogs.

A BIG Thank You to A Legacy of Stitches, Sandi Andersen, for the pattern I recently won on her blog  giveaway.  Sandi lives in Minnesota where there's always lots of snow in the winter and this is her own design called Snowman Quartet. 

  It's just too cute! 

As if that wasn't enough, she included an extra little surprise...a stitch by hand pattern for a Mother Pin.

Thanks, Sandi.


If you haven't visited her blog before, you're missing out.  Go visit her here.




There are just so many wonderful quilting/stitching/sewing/needlework/creative blogs on blogger now,  I thought I'd start sharing some new ones. 


Just look at these
socks

 Aren't they gorgeous??   and they look so warm & soft too!   From Stitchin' Bints blog; a group of knitters, sharing patterns, yarn, pictures.....how fun! 




I've never made a pair of socks, but these are sure tempting me to try it.  I find it very relaxing to knit or crochet and I'm one of those who has to do something like knitting while watching tv.


Have you ever made a pair of socks??




Thanks for visiting.

PROMISES! PROMISES!

I promise things to myself all the time. "tomorrow I'll do such & such, work on this project, finish up that project, start that new project.."etc.

Tomorrow comes and I only get half of it done, or none of it and have to put it on the "promise list" again. Sometimes I have to do that with my promises several times in a row.

Today's one of those "finish up your promises for the week" kind of day. The wind is blowing here like crazy and it's not supposed to get as warm as we have had.....so good day to stay inside and just FINISH ALL THE WEEK'S PROMISES.......

1. finish serging all the fleece socks for the family.
2. add one more row of squares to the yellow/pink flower raggy quilt
3. finish up patchwork tote started already
4. get decorator fabrics out of closet
5. take some more pictures for listings.
6. get Ebay orders ready to mail
7. more knitting tonight on red scarf

Whew! I hope some of these do not APPEAR on tomorrow's Promise List!.

Tomorrow......we'll see.
