Bears

I need to make two bears by Christmas. This is as far as I have gotten so far. Here is the head of the momma bear.

Not much

Sorry, but for the next few weeks the blog posts are probably going to be slow in coming.

Between nausea, mood swings, crying jags, and being tired, there just doesnt seem to be time or energy for anything else.

I am still working on the blanket and the cape (which I just LOVE). I also told a co worker that I would knit two bears for her to give away as Christmas presents (can you say biting off more than I can chew).

There might be another post this week and there might not be. I am not sure. It will depend on how the week goes. I am still hanging in and if you dont here from me again this week, don't worry, I write another post next week. But heck, you might see some photos or a post this week too. I am just not promising anything.

If you get a chance, check out the Etsy store. It needs some love too.

A blanket Continues

I am still working on my simple sideways blue blanket. This is the project I have been carrying around with me.

This is such a nice, simple, patternless project. Great for not having to think. What a great contrast to the project I shared with you yesterday.

My girls have been going around and sharing our wonderful news with everyone we know. They are so excited about the new baby. We all are. I have not started with any morning sickness yet but I HAVE started being tired (which is only JUST) beginning).

Meet Me For Coffee Progress

I have been knitting on my Meet Me For Coffee Cape in the evening after I put Elle to bed. Some night I only knit two rows before going to bed, others I knit 12 rows.

The pattern is a 16 row repeat and has decreases that you do while still staying in pattern. It is a challenge to get right.

On Saturday I finished the back of the cape. Now I am working on one of the two sides.

Earrings

I made a few sets of earrings on Friday so I would have a pair to wear for the party. I made them out of knitting needles. I really like them.

There are also a few sets posted on my Etsy shop. Go check them out.

Etsy and some extras

I opened an Etsy store yesterday. This is the link to ColorfulknittingToo.

Saturday a bunch of things happened...I found out that we are going to have another baby. This will make number 5.

We also had a knitting party at my house. It was a lot of fun. I think everyone had a great time. We will have to gave another one sometime. Here are a few pictures from the evening.

Dr. Who and his Tardis

Mike and I found a little red telephone booth on sale at Hobby Lobby this weekend. Mike had an excellent idea....

We bought it along with some blue spray paint. He took off the sticker and put three coats of blue paint on it. At work on Tuesday he printed off some new stickers that said "Police Public Call Box". My new Tardis is my pencil holder at work.

I also started making some knitting needle pen sets. They are available on my Etsy store now and in a few different colors.
