Spool Knit Fun and Other Goodies

I hope you all had a lovely weekend, and that your week is turning out well. We’ve had some fun here. I used one of my new~to~me tea pots for the first time. It was an Earl Gray kind of day.

Tea-Crochet-and-Chewy

On Sunday the girls and I decided it was time for a spool knitting tea party. They had received spool knitting kits from my parents (who are now stationed in Sicily) for Christmas, and with the plague we had going around, I hadn’t had a chance to teach them yet.

Kitchen Fixes

This will be mostly photos tonight. It is after 1am (hey, happy 8th anniversary to Doug & me!) I just want to show you what I have been up to lately.

First, here are some snaps from a trip to Target we made the other day. The girls were having fun as you can see. *as always, if you hover your mouse over the photos, a little description will come up*

What’s up, Buttercup?

Just a quick update for you all before I call it a night. It has been a LONG day!

I had a nice Sunday at InsaniTea. I have been trying to kick this virus/bug/thing that I got from the girls, so I asked Ingrid to make me up some of her special tea mix to take home. Even the name makes me feel better!

Sometimes you need to take a day

It was a rough night last night. Vada was coughing all night, and Kyla woke us up (OK, only me as Doug didn’t hear her) at 3am, crying with growing pains.

Due to the impending doom of Nemo *I dare you to read that without a chuckle* the district had called today as a half day for school. So, with the utter lack of sleep we all had, I decided it was time to take a day.

Just a quicky

Just a quick post for you before I turn in for the night. Last week when my friend was over here (when I hurt my ankle,) she saw my stack o’ hats for my Max hat pattern, and asked if I could make her and her daughter a matching set.

So I picked up some sparklie pink and black yarn when I was finally able to go to the yarn store.

Sew fun!!

Well, I guess it’s going around. Yarrrn Club at InsaniTea was rather sparse on Sunday due to people being sick. It was just me, Jenn (yea!!!) and Jenn’s daughter Katrina.

Ingrid acquired a new mug. I fell in love! It’s even a little dimensional. 70’s fun!

Finally got around to it.

I’ve been debating starting a Facebook page to go with my Etsy store for a bit now, and I finally got around to it today. Take a look!

I have improved upon one of my old patterns. The Tea Cup Bunting pattern is now a stand alone Tea Cup.

Weekend Happiness

It was a *very hot* nice weekend. Lots of fun inside time, due to the heat. So I thought I would share a bit of it with you.

The girls decided the bunnies needed to have a picnic.
