 Welcome to another edition of T stands for Tuesday hosted by Elizabeth. Grab a cup, mug or glass…sit down and stay a while.activate c

I’ve finished my coffee and am ready to defend myself from the virus that currently has it’s hooks in Mr. G. Poor guy is wracked with chills under a pile of covers. I can’t even fathom how he can move under them…they are so heavy.

Me…well, I’m still crafting like crazy.

I’m feeling the deep need to make some art. The only problem is now I’ll have to dig my way to my art supplies. I piled tons of stuff on my workspace. ACK! I hate it when I do that…yet I still do it. Apparently I’m a slow learner.

What a re you doing today?

20130805_2899I picked up a new mug from the clearance rack at Menards, of all places.

One lone mug with my initial…I had to buy it.

It’s much bigger than my standard size so I’m not sure I’ll use it for coffee or tea.

Maybe I’ll use it to hold my paint brushes….

I usually keep them in a cute little pink bucket.

Hmmm….decisions.

Although, it might work better here on my desk.  I’m going to leave it here for a day or two and see how I like it.

Next on the list for today is knitting group, Target and grocery shopping.

I actually have been  get some projects finished while attending my knitting group.

Here are a few dish cloths to prove it. :)

 

turning leavesAnd can you believe this!?! We have leaves starting to turn already. I haven’t even picked a ripe tomato yet. Our growing season was majorly shortened this year.

Alright …enough blather from me…I’ve got things to do, people to see, blogs to visit.

What are you doing today?

You could stop by the home of T stands for Tuesday for starters.

mystery solved

 

EDIT: For those of you helping me on my flower/weed identification…here she is! A sunflower!

I’m excited to say that two of my hand knit items have been included in Etsy Treasuries in the last two days!  How’s that for a little boost of confidence. :)

dew drop morning

Nature is so beautiful.

After days of gloom and pouring rain, the sun has reappeared!  Seeing the sun makes all the difference in the world for my motivation and energy level.

art yarn scarf

 

Now just in time for Summer…I’ve finished my art yarn scarf.

After using 2 of the 3 skeins, I bound off and connected the ends of the scarf to make an infinity loop. I then crocheted along each edge to help it lay a little flatter.

It will be so nice and cozy next Fall…but I’d really like to enjoy a bit of Summer before we transition to the next season.

 

Yesterday we got together with Mr. G’s side of the family to celebrate the Spring birthdays. We went out to eat then visited over cake and ice cream at home.

Look at this beautiful bowl I got from my in-laws. She knows my love of pottery and is always on the lookout for a new piece for me. This one is from Frog Creek Pottery. I have no affiliation but thought I should tip my hat to them anyway for such a beautiful bowl.

My BIL and his GF gave me this really cool art yarn from Italy. I’m already planning on knitting an infinity scarf with it. It should be very fun and eclectic.

Lucky girl…that’s me. :)

scarf

 

just in time for the weather to warm up.

Of course.

I’ve knit well over 50 of the ruffle scarves but this is my first standard knitting project that I have completed!!

I stitched the ends together to make an infinity scarf. It wraps really well around my neck for that super warm and cozy feeling that we need for our Minnesota winters.

I started a new scarf yesterday but am thinking I’m going to rip it apart and start again. I’m not liking the 2 yarn combo I’m using.

I’ve been working on loom knitting again. I have an order for 10 dishcloths and am expecting I’ll be getting a few more orders real soon. I decided to use some of my scraps of yarn to give some visual interest to these cloths.  Waste not, want not.

As long as I was thinking scrappy…

 I put together the first in a series of journals. The cover is a print of one of my kaleidoscopes. I believe this one started as a rose.

I love the look of all the different papers. It’s up to the recipient to decide how to use them.
