Finally...


Although I have been feeling very creative lately but was getting very frustrated. The yarn was crappy, paint wouldn't dry fast enough, no room to work on anything. But finally today I have a had a break through. just about finished knitting my first hat, and finally sewed together all the rows of squares for my quilt. Here are the pics Nat, not even close to your glamorous quilt but I am very relieved that this is finally in the works and not living in a box under my bed like it has been for the last 5 years. I have also been buying more fabric for some projects. Cloth blocks and a bib for my friends baby boy.

Also hoping to knit him some little thumb-less mittens. And also bought a ton of yarn to hopefully conquer my first afghan. I think I am going to crochet this one though not sure how fun it would be to knit one, little bulky. So many things so little time. I have been coming across allot of really inspiring blogs lately and loving it. Makes me want to do even more. I am slowing trying to add them to the side bar as I go. Well I hope everyone had a happy Christmas and wishing you all a Happy New Year!!!

The quilt looks great!

The fabric you saw on my blog is the "pez" design in black, by Sandy Klop. The Collection is called "Peas and Carrots" for American Jane, and is manufactured by Moda. The same fabric comes in yellow and red, and a few other colours I think!

Thanks so much for your lovely comments....
