I AM SO GREAT!*

With the dangerous deadline of going back to school looming, I managed to finish the baby quilt I began about two weeks ago. I still need to clip the pesky threads so it will have to wait to make its appearance. Mostly, I'm just ecstatic that I made a quilt, complete with hand-quilting, my own binding, and a not-so-fancy label. It's full of novice mistakes and with any luck it won't disintegrate after its first real wash.

Last-Minute Halloween

Halloween was fun this year, if a bit rushed. Made more fun by the fact that I put the siblings to work. This is a glimpse of their handiwork:



On the crafting front I finished the back for the VK Cabled Cardigan and cast-on for the left side. The $1.50 Cardigan is on hold until I have the heart to sit down and do the math for the decreases on the fronts. Knitting is rolling along but in need of attention is my overflowing fabric "scraps." I'm up to about three boxes worth, something that's hard to estimate accurately since I keep finding pockets of fabric in odd places. With the impending doom of having to sort and organize the fabric I want to escape and start a new crochet project or maybe even trade mountains and organize the scrapbooking stuff. [Crossing my fingers that the Bio midterm went well..]
