It's been a while....

Happy New Year...Wishing you a blessed 2011

I have the day off today and realized I've been a bad blogger when I looked and saw pumpkins on my blog in January....it's not for lack of projects to post....Since closing my business last year I've had time to explore several new crafting areas that I never had time for. My latest is knitting and I have to admit that I love it....I have always wanted to learn but not until a co-worker offered to teach me had I actually picked up a pair of knitting needles since grade school. I've been practicing on literally handfuls of scarves and am starting to move along to other projects. As I usually approach most things with near obsession, I now have a closet full of scarves and have been searching for organizations to knit for charity. My first project is the 2011 Special Olympics Scarf Project. Details can be found here....http://www.scarvesforspecialolympics.org/.
These are the 2 scarves I'll be mailing....


Of course I haven't totally abandoned sewing and made this cute holder for my needles and supplies(pink and tea dyed naturally)...and have found a new use for all the tote bags I made, they are great for holding works in process...


Here are a few of the other things that I've either completed or am still working on....




Wishing you a joyous and productive New Year....thank you for visiting...Nancy
