Just a Great Day!

Yarn Swap???

I'm in!! incredibly easy and oh so fun! Wanna swap too?? Just leave a comment before April 18th at Just be Happy and you're in. Come on...you know you wanna!

Sprung...

Every Spring I am reminded of the movie Bambi...remember? How all the animals in the forest get twitter-patted? Well it appears the Spring has sprung in my neck of the "woods" and it's all I can do to contain myself...

The Flowers have sprung...

The Birds have Sprung...

The Groupies have Sprung...

The object of their affection...

I hate Spring! or groupies!!

My Heart's Desire...(right now)

I just love when things work out for me! Last week, I was feeling VERY into PURPLES so

One day mid week I posted this pictureon my twitter...(Do you follow?) and exclaimed how awesome it would be to have yarn this color

And to my surprise I got this in the mail...
***SPOILER***
It's my Fiberphile Yarns March Sock Club shipment!
It's Cranberry Bog in MCN!!! and it is the same shade as in my Smoothie!
and now... off to search for the PERFECT pattern?!! Perhaps the *Handspun Delight Shawlette?

*Ravelry Pattern-membership required (but it's free!)

I made this...

The sweater, not the girl...but she does make for a pretty cute model, no? and the pose, all her own.

The Pattern: Boheme is FREE!

The Yarn: Sunshine Yarns Classic Sock in Cactus Flower.

The Details:
Pattern called out for heavier yarn than what I used but I just went with it. I made the size 18 months on size 6 needles and it fits her 4T wearing self!

So although I go missing for months at a time... I am still here. I still do read all your blogs. I still craft around the clock! I think I like blogging about my completed works, so you might see much more of that!
