Needle Holder

It's three months late, but I finally dug a tunnel through my craft room so I could get to my sewing machine and make Sarah's Christmas present. I got the idea in one of my Better Homes and Gardens magazines. She had borrowed my size 10 knitting needles last fall, so I bought a nice pair of bamboo needles and stitched up a holder for them using wide ribbon, thin cording, and a button. I haven't given it to her yet, but I think she'll like it!

Waylon the sweater model

Mollie sent me a picture of Waylon in the sweater I made for him. He should definitely look into being a professional model. There are more pictures of him in my sweater on Waylon's blog here, here, and here.

Notice that I've gone back and done more tags on old posts. Waylon gets the nieces and nephews tag. I'm his honorary Aunt Lola, and he's my honorary nephew.

Signs of Life

Today was beautiful. Spring is finally here. So I decided to walk to crafternoon at Mollie's. While I was waiting on the front step for Sarah to show up so we could walk together, I scanned the yard for signs of new spring growth. Instead, I found a sign of death. Yikes! It feels a little bit like a bad omen.
