I just finished this pair of hand knit slippers. I realized that I had never made myself a pair. My Mother and I are going to a PJ party at Stitches West and I was reading that everyone was going to wear hand knit slippers.

I just finished these fingerless mitts I have been working on. They kind of remind me of a cupcake with pink icing for some reason.

Knitmore Preemie Hats for Stitches

I have never made preemie baby hats before. In February I am going to Stitches West in California with my Mom. I am making some preemie hats for donation for the Knitmore Girls. I believe they are making them for a local hospital.

I made this plain jane pair of socks in this yellow yarn from knit picks.
They were inspired by the show I was working at the week I made them.

I made some curtains for the area over the bathtub. I am not quite sure why there are two large windows over the bathtub. I can't think of a time when I would want to sit nude in the tub and have the curtains open.

Mini Takes The States

Last weekend I worked at a Mini Show. It was called Mini takes the states. They started in LA and drove all over the states in a group.
The group of them arrived last weekend in Denver at Infinity Park.
I usually do not take a camera to work events on the weekend.
But, my Mom really wanted pictures of all the cars. If you want to see more pictures check out my flicker. Just click on any photo in my blog and it will bring you to my flicker account and you can see lots of Mini Coopers.
