Photos of last month's work ...

Realized that I posted that I had "photos to come" in my February post! Here they are!

































Long time, no see.

So. I have actually been very crafty these past few weeks. Just not posting here. I am having some trouble getting into the habit of blogging. Anyhow. I have been ... oh, let's see ... probably 90% faithful to my goal of working on a creative project daily. Here is some of my handiwork of late. Some hats. A baby afghan. Some bracelets (photos to come) and necklaces.



I have been having a fine old time at it. I really do enjoy it.




I, unfortunately, had a bit more time for being crafty of late as I got mono! Ugh. I thought my days as a potential sufferer of mono were past the day I graduated from high school. I guess not. Between doing two shows back to back, my teaching schedule and having to go on two trips for work ... well, I guess my immune system decided to up and fail me. At least the second week of my convalescence aligned itself with my spring break ... so, I didn't have to miss two full weeks of work. But doctor's orders were to relax ... what better way to relax than sitting with my feet up and working on a project. And watching lots of 30 Rock and Modern Family!




As I type this, I have a lot of projects in the works. Working on a few afghans ... one crochet sampler style wool blanket ... which I hope to gift at Christmas time. Working on another granny square style one for my house in a dark plum and heathery grey. Also, a patchwork style afghan using all different colors of Lion Brand Homespun yarn.




As part of my spring break, I did take a quick trip (a whopping 10 miles from my house!) to an amazing yarn store, North Woods Farm Yarn Shop. Check them out ... amazing stuff! http://northwoodsfarmyarnshop.com/
