Finished Friday: A Dress.. and a surprise!
First off check it out!!! I made this!! I get so delighted every time I finish something and it works out well!!
I love this cute little dress!! I danced around the room with it for like half an hour last night!! LOVE IT!!
Then the next day we got a call!! WOOT My sister in law who had no indication of going into labor any time soon (and wasn’t happy about it) was at the hospital!!
The magic trick of finishing the baby knitting worked!!
Get ready for a pretty dress you pretty little girl!! Now I have to finish a little sewing project for her and another one for my other little niece!! -
WWKIP Day
It was World Wide Knit in Public day and there I was, out in public, without any knitting!
Desperate times call for desperate knitters. So I dug into the contents of the van and came out with…
A straw, and a spool of thread! Genius!!
I won in the knitting dept. but the team lost the game. Oh well!

How To’s Day: Creating a space to create!
So, how many of you wish you had a place to do your creative stuff? Ooh I see a lot of hands up out there!
I am right with you!
With 4 kids two cats and a largish dog, I struggle just to walk through a room let alone carve out a space for myself to ‘create’.
The hubs has his own office space, and we shared it for a while; that was until my oldest moved his desk in there so he could do his high school work. Now it is a bit of a ‘man cave’ and there is no space for me to spread out and work.
We have a 3 season room and I have generally had that space a bit.. it is mainly used as a play room for the little guys. And we also have this unique space it’s a long storage room about 10(ish) feet wide by 5 feet high by bazillion feet long. (the full length of the house) the one furnace is in there and it’s not a bad space, but you can imagine it is quite like a REAL cave! Our thought was to turn that space into a play area for the boys and that would leave the porch room for me right?
So here’s my question. I wonder how do I claim that space for myself? Setting rules.. etc. and How do I do it without feeling guilty or even selfish! (Us moms are good at that eh?)
How do you do it?
Paying the bills…
Coming April 13th
