Mother/Daughter SAL Weekend

I pulled out my Provence Sampler to work on while I was teaching Diva. I figured it was simple and I wouldn't get angry if she interrupted me(unlike with a HAED piece where I tend to get cranky if anyone bothers me while I'm working).

Diva's Progress:


Not too bad for her first ever foray into cross stitch :)
And she chose metallic thread. Any of you who have ever stitched with it know what a nightmare it is. It doesn't stay on the needle very well and it doesn't really lay nice without a lot of work but she seems okay with it. Cotton floss will be a piece of cake for her after this.

P90XLean Day 22: Yoga Recovery Week #1

Yoga was tough today. My balance was off. I don't know if it was because I was tired or what? I still plowed through though.

Stashalong--Sign ups end Jan.1

Image
Sign ups have ended. EDIT: Sign ups end January 1 at 5pm Mountain time. Anyone interested in using some of your stash in order to make room for some new spring stuff? Join me in a very informal knitalong. Here are the rules: (1) Must start and try to finish something from your stash yarn(I say "try" to finish because if you pick something huge like an afghan or sweater finishing in three months may not be realistic). (2) You have 3 months and during that time you cannot add to your stash in any way(things ordered before January 1 but not yet delivered do not count--hence the early warning--get it out of your systems, ladies). Of course realistically there is no way to police this, so the honor system is in place. (3) I am beginning on January 1, 2006 and ending March 31, 2006(if there is interest, I'd be glad to start another one after that). (4) Keep me posted on your progress and I will post it once a week--probably Mondays or Tuesdays. I've never attempted to s...

Memory Lane
