Update on the knit tree in Yellow Springs

Today I found out about this site. It shows how the tree I found was made. All the people who added to it took pictures of the tree along the way. I thought you might find it interesting. I think it is interesting that someone got married in front of it.

My hubby talked me into tasting the water. I hope it doesn't make us sick.

Sunset at Wexford


This is at our complex Wexford on the green at sunset.
Jeremiah took this last night before we went out for supper.

handmade hankies


I have been working on making a few more hankies. I pre-washed a package of hankies. Some designs were ironed on, others were free handed. I did the embroidery and crocheted around the edges.

Jeremiah just woke up and told me we are going to a park today here in Ohio. I will take lots of pictures and post a few.

Jane's hankie

I just finished this extra to put in the swap I am sending Jane in my Tawashi town group.
This book in the background is the place I got the pattern for the cupcake. My husband got it for me a Books A Million in Augusta just before we moved out here. It has all sorts of iron on patterns in the back.
I hope she likes it. She told me she likes pink. So what could be better than a cupcake with pink icing that is calorie free.

fish and flower tawashi


I have been waiting for the Salvation Army to come and pick up our old sofa today. I made these tawashi for a trade I am doing in Ravelry. I am doing a tawashi swap in Tawashi Town group on Ravelry. It should be fun. Here is the link for the fish tawashi pattern. The flower is from a Japanese pattern book I have. http://www.knittingknonsense.com/fishytawashi.html

I just finished my nubbins dishcloth. It has cute little round nubbins around the edges. I thought it might help with the scrubbing of the dishes.

The squidge cloth knit dishcloth pattern


I thought I would try out this pattern. It makes up a nice ridged dishcloth. It was really quick to make.

Yarn, yarn and more yarn!


I thought you might want to peek inside. My yarn winder is up on the top shelf. I tried to put all like yarns together if possible.

This is my new yarn storage area my husband built for me. I am so excited to have most of my yarn together. I do have a little in the closet. I did not want to pack this so full I could not find things.
I got this idea from a friend of mine on Ravelry. She has a beautiful pine storage area like this one. I must admit it was a very good idea.

This is my little crafting desk in our study. I have my Ott light and a little bird house light for softer light. I love having my own little space. I suppose I could drag my crafts down to the kitchen table if I need more space.

I finally finished this bag. I had wanted to try out the pattern.
I am planning to start a new bag using Noro next. I wanted to try out the pattern in cotton first to make sure I liked it first. I think I will make the strap longer on the next one. I have heard the strap tends to stretch out a bit as you use it.

This was fun. I dug most of this with a large cookie sheet. Yes, a cookie sheet pan. The movers had not arrived yet. I left my car to the left covered in snow. We just dug out Jeremiah's car. I was not wanting to even drive at this point.

Made it here to Ohio!

We made it here to our new town home just in time for a snow storm. We were snowed in for 3 days with none of our things and no internet or television. I am so glad we are finally out and about. The movers are due here with our thing in a few more days. By the weekend we should be back to normal. I am thankful that we arrived safely and were nice and warm in our new place. I will be able to post pictures in a few days. I am currently at the local library as we are having trouble setting up our internet from home.
