Progress Report!

Since my last post I have managed to get a lot done. I have finished the two baby blankets that's photo included nothing more than ribbon and one name plate. The ribbon has been laced in, the name plates have been hand embroidered. Sewed closed (I didn't want any lose thread bits on baby blankets), then they have been hand stitched on to the knitted blanket! They are stunning! (I've asked others!). I would load pictures but my camera seems to think its "busy!"
I've also worked for 34 hours, gone to an executive board meeting for 6 hours, and needed some sleep, and I finished my book "Arise" by Ellen & Clayton Kershaw. Very inspiring people at such a young age! The book is very religious but at the end of the day the message is the same one that I try to live by which is help others and to live how you'd like you'd like to be treated.
Friday I will be taking two of the baby blankets with me to work! So that's another thing off my to-do list. I'm waiting till friday because one of the parents won't be there until then and I really want to give them at the same time. And with any luck I can convince my sister to mail the little blanket to Calgary (If I don't do it today!)

After a quick computer fight which involved reminding computer that I can and will turn it off when it makes me angry I won!!!
PICTURES!

Saturday!

Today I got a fair start on the things in my sewing bag of entertainment! I'll have to post some pictures on Tuesday! I also think I have a few more ideas for other projects that I want to do. Although I should most likely finish an few of the ones I have on the go before I move on and start making more. I still have one baby blanket to finish. I need to go but ribbon! Its on my Tuesday list! And I have a meeting at the union office on Tuesday, so that means I'll be right by the FABRIC store! Yay!!! I love the fabric store! And the Union guys are most excellent too!

Second Post!

This is a work weekend for me. I will work 34 hours in the next three days. As stinky as that is it'll work in my favor. I work with super people and enjoy time with them. And this weekend I am gonna play Sports Select (is that what's its called?) for the first time. I'm just gonna guess and pick based on names and feelings. And I've also stacked my craft bag with some new projects I would like to get up on my etsy site in time for Christmas. I think they will be great stocking stuffers.

A Domestic Thursday

Once again I had so much to share and I forgot to blog! This Blogtoberfest challenge really is tough! Hopefully day I can do one for yesterday and one for today. :)
Yesterday I baked some Oh Henry squares from one of my grandma's recipes. It's delicious! Then I made some Zippy Pineapple chicken for dinner.
After the baking and while making dinner I started actually sewing my baby quilt! It's coming along really well! Aside from the seam ripping because I stitched the one block the same as its mirror image from the other side. Who knew an owl needed a left and a right wing.
So far I know I have to improve on my seam lining up but I'm sure in time with practice I'll be able to nail those suckers! (Please feel free to comment with hints and tips for making that happen!)

Nuts!

I forgot to blog yesterday!!! Nuts! So to make up for it I'm going to share the flowers I found on my desk on Monday! At work we share desks however we do have usual desks. When I got in on Monday I had a surprise waiting. These little suckers are made out of clay. After some investigating I found out that my friend Lisa made them. Lisa makes wicke cakes too! I'm trying to convince her that she should open a bakery or cake shop.

Potty Monster

I think the people I work with have been watching too much Look Whose Talking. They are afraid of the Potty Monster. Or the troll that lives in the toilet.
They have decided that paying to pee is the way to go.

Ps. I hope this post didn't offend anyone!

Learning

Today is a work day. And I didn't bring any crafting with me. Hopefully I can do some when I get home. I've got more tv and ice time coming to me :) and perhaps a nice short slow run. But I'll let the knee decide that.
Instead of crafting today I've been playing Tiny Village! Holy hell addictive batman and words with friends. And I'm learning more about blogging from my phone. It's not that complicated (or I don't think it should be!) but I rarely spend any time checking out the options so today I have and I think I've figure out how to prevent my photos from being giant and outside my normal space. Now if only I could make these tags work. I'm sure I'll figure it out soon enough!
