 Happy Knitting,

I apologize for being so slack about post.  It’s hard to find the time while I am at home.  I’m still on the go after work.  I’ll manage somehow.  I just want to let you know that I sewed a bag out of a pillowcase.  I got the idea from the Martha Stewart Magazine.  I am also sewing up the Blushing Granny afghan, then I’ll add the border.  I will have pictures of both once I finish the afghan.  Also, I went to some yardsales today.  I got a mini futon for $10 and a desk organizer for $1.  I will also put up some pictures of that.

 Happy Knitting, or whatever craft your love!

I haven’t done much yet, but am looking forward to trying as many things as possible.  

 *Update: I am almost done with the Granny Square Blanket, then I will finish the Scrap blanket.  I think I have decided to scrap the Cross Strap Tank from Vogue because I don’t understand what I am doing.  I will probably use the yarn to make some type of cardigan to go over my new dress.  Also, I plan on making another stuff animal, a dog collar, and a dog leash.  I also want to make some more dishcloths.

 And of course, Happy Knitting!
