out from hiding

well I haven't been hiding really... just trying to cope with everything that life has been trowing our way as of late.... everything is fine now, it just got a little stressful around here... I've also been in some sort of artist rut... still working with it... oh well

So we've seen the 5th Potter film and finished the final book... didn't like the film but looooved the book! the book ended pretty much the way I thought.

Knitting has once again saved me with the on going stresses in life... I'm happily chugging along my Clapotis in Noro Cash Iroha, the Chevron Scarf in Lorna Laces Black Purl and a pair of Slytherin Socks....

...update...

I can't believe almost a month has gone by without me posting... we've been so busy with work and all... I've finished re-reading the 6 Potter books so I'm ready for book 7... I've started another knitting project... and i'm curretly fighting a terrible head/sinus cold... that's it really... oh and I found purple peppers in the supermarket...

caffeinated happiness

We bought our 2nd coffee maker yesterday... Something very simple with a timer and makes filtered coffee... (I couldn't be bothered with one of those pod thingies) So now I'm totally buzzing on my second double coffee....
Coffee makes me so happy... I am not looking forward to the crash though

knitalong

So I decided to make the Two Toned (one tone) Fitted Shrug, my first project Buffy Knit Along project... hopefully that will encourage me to finish it, since I started in March.

I'm such a slow knitter... or I've taken on a lot of projects to do with my busy schedule... what I really should be doing this week is clean out my studio and stock the etsy shop...

As for the Knitting the Classics knitalong I'm almost done reading The Inferno, and I'll probably cast on the project end of the week.

the quiet weekend...

This was suppose to be our RPG weekend (I play Dark Ages Vampire with my husband as the Storyteller, and two other friends) but it was canceled... So I spent most of yesterday and a earlier today bumming around eating brownies that I had baked for the game, with lots of earl grey tea... (earl grey my new bitch these days) and I knitted...


this pic was taken few days ago... the heels are completed now. The Pattern is the Nautilus by Anna Bell. I'm soo liking this pattern... I'll start the celebrations for my first "two at the same toe-ups" once I've finished... but it is looking good :)

well I better get back to cooking dinner. Tonight we are having Tuna Pasta Salad with Mediterranean Style Seasoning...
