May 2019 update

I'm behind on my updates... again
I know... shock face!

STITCHING

• May 5 - Got Coffee Quaker back from the framers.  Very happy with how it looks!

• WIPS worked on.  I feel like I worked on more, but don't have pictures to prove it.

• Tapestry (Ink Circles)

• Zen Garden (HAED)

KNITTING

• May 3rd - Finished my Blue socks (vanilla pattern, fleegle heel, Alegeria Ming)

• May 5 - Finished my sockhead hat in Lizzie Anne Seaglass.  As my LYS owner mentioned, I need to get a proper pic of this :)

• May 11 - My friend Trista and I went out for the day and stopped at a bunch of yarn shops that were participating in a yarn crawl.  Highlights included talking to Rhichard Devrieze and holding a day old baby lamb!

LIFE

• On May 21st I started my 2nd new job of 2019.... yes I know... CRAZY.  I am back in public practice, and SO MUCH happier where I am now.  So many factors lead me to switching jobs, but so happy I did

Weeks 27/28/29 - small update, knitting, and TUSAL

Well I'm behind on my blog again....
Seems since my horrible cold and the long weekend, I can't keep up with it... but probably more due to the fact I have HARDLY STITCHED!

yes... you read that right!

Here is what I have done though...

1) Started the new Dutch tile SAL from Lakeside Needlework and Peppermint Purple.  I finished part 1 on July 17th

2) I took a beginner knitting class in May.  Since then I have made a few dishcloths and then started a baby blanket using a similar pattern.  I finished it on the 13th of July

3) I attended my first yarn trunk show on the 12th of July at Yarn It.  I picked up one skein of this beautiful Killarney Sock yarn that I am using for my first shawl.
Speaking of Knitting... anyone else on Revelry?  Please send me your username so I can add you as a friend :)

On the 13th I also met up with Dani and Christin who were passing through town on their way back to Ottawa.  Dani had never been to Primitive Designs, so we met there.  Dani got a pic of me petting a baby Dino :)

It was also TUSAL last week... here is my tiny bit of orts for the month!

I included week 29 in this post even though its not Sunday yet.
I am on holidays the week of the 23rd and with no major plans, I hope to get caught up in some stitching... at least start and finish my August Year in Chalk, and an ornament... that way the month won't feel like a total write off!

I hope to post a week 30 post on the 30th and then a monthly re-cap on the 31st..... keep your fingers crossed for me!

Week 19 - Stitching and Margaritas

A day last this time... what can I say.. Adulting is hard

Here is a re-cap of my week

On Monday, I worked on Dragons for Ink Circles Monday.  Only a tiny bit of border got done

Tuesday I worked on my Lizzie Kate ornament, and finished it on Wednesday

Saturday I also pulled out and finished week 3 on the Blackwork Tangram SAL from Lakeside Needlecraft and Peppermint Purple

Blackwork Tangram SAL - Weeks 1-3

As you can see, no stitching on Thursday or Friday.  I can't remember what happened on Thursday, but Friday I met up with some ladies and attended the Girls Night out in Cobourg.
It was a fun night!

On our way to a pottery class, post 1 martini :)

El Camino in Cobourg makes amazing Margaritas! 
My favourite is the Black Margarita

Weekly update - July 7th 2014

Last week I continued to work on Baroque.
Here is my progress as of last night:


Yes! I managed to get the inner border done!

On Saturday I helped out at a "learn to golf day" for kids put on by my work, Dalewood golf club, and the YMCA. Here is a couple of pics I took.
... And before you ask, no I don't golf :)
