Month: March 2016

This winter has been very odd, and while I usually do love Winter, I did not like our odd one. We had a ton of snow at once, but not enough snow to truly cover the ski slopes, which makes me grumpy! To top it of, while the last two weeks were rather springy, it did snow on Saturday. Can the weather make up its mind? Can the weather give my dafodyls a break and let them grow in piece!!! So, this week, I decided to let Spring in my house by making flowers.

I also decided that I would share Sring. So… here is the trick: I won’t tell you what they are made off until next Sunday! Until then, leave me a comment with your best guess, and I will send a flower to the first one to guess the right answer. Be specific! Note,  There are no geographical restrictions, so if you guess right you could get Spring in a box…

So, here it is, I did my best but cannot sustain a one week/ one project rythm. If I am honnest, I cannot even sustain a 2 weeks/ 1 project pace either! That’s a real bummer, but as my Aunt Rasberry said:”why did you put so much pressure on yourself?” Well, hum, let me think…. I don’t know, I am a bit crazy…   So without further ado, here is what I have been up to in the last 2 months.

I made socks for The Little Big Boy. It all started with one sock. I then realized that I would not have enough yarn to finish the second one, so I unravelled the one I made and used scraps to make 2. While I was making these, I feared he would not wear them, but he became quite fond of them. I am now planning on making him another pair, with more scarps I have in my drawers.

On a cold snowy day, I made scones for the all family. Cranberry lemon for Dear Husband and I, and chocolate chip ones for the kids. I have fallen in love with scones. Not only are they super easy to make, they also taste delicious yet are not too sweet. I recently bought frozen blueberries, and I am hoping to try that next.

Here is a shawl, I have finished 2 weeks ago. I could not get a good picture of the cable that runs along the scalops, so I posted Dear husband’s favorite one. I had a lot of fun making this shawl. Not only do I love cables, but I really enjoyed making a reversible shawl.

And if you are wondering what’s coming next… I just finished a quilt made of Miss I do It Myself baby blankets, I am working on a hitchhiker for myself, and on an over the top merino cable cardigan ( Still for myself). No I am not selfish…
