Links


Today is my oldest daughter's 5th birthday, so here is a picture of her with a jaguar!


Here are some links I have been saving. I figured why save them if I'm not going to share them? Mostly family-related, not knitting or crafting, but interesting.



I love the concept of paperless mail.



Any ideas I can use to move toward a simpler and more sustainable lifestyle are welcome!



This tiny kitchen is amazing.



Two pieces on parenting, here and here.



That's all I've got!

Guerilla Knitting & New Monster


My first time out guerilla knitting was so fun! I hope people enjoy seeing the cozies around Greenlake. To see all the pictures, go here. I have lots of acrylic yarn in my stash that has been given to me from various friends cleaning out closets, this is going to be the perfect use for it!



This monster has been done for a few weeks, with all the computer drama I haven't been taking many photos. She still needs a good photo shoot for the shop, this is just a little preview. I haven't measured her yet, but she's pretty tall. Maybe around 15 inches?

I have a couple of cute ideas rolling around my head for some novelty items. This week is dedicated to knitting up some gifts so the new stuff will have to wait until next week.

Relay for Life & NGA

Tomorrow I'm going to be at the Greenlake Relay for Life in Seattle from 2 to 8 pm. I'll have all my current creations with me, including some brand new pieces! Stop by and say hi!

Here is the piece I'm working on for the National Gallery of Australia. I need to finish up embroidering my name on it this weekend so I can send it off. I hope that I can identify it in photos of the finished project.

Recently, I lost everything on my computer. It has been a major pain getting up and running again. I am hoping for sun today so I can take new photos of all my creations, I have lots that I haven't shared yet. Fingers crossed that the ongoing computer problems come to an end soon and I can begin posting regularly!

Stay tuned for pictures from tomorrow's event!
