If you do what you love, the money will follow...right?

I'm in!

Whoo-hoo, I'm in there! It's more awesome than I'd even imagined ... I've got a ton of work ahead to add projects, stash, etc.

I'm "onecheapsister" if you're in too -- let's be friends!

Antsy? Well, yes I am...

So, I've been waiting, waiting, waiting -- for nearly 2 months! -- to get my invitation to "Ravelry". Every knitter I know and respect has been on for months, most as beta folks, and they are raving about how wonderful it is. Folks are swapping stash photos, completed projects, works in progress, and generally sharing their fiber addiction. I want some!

This morning, when I went to check my place -- 1,040 away, whoo hooo -- I noticed that the directory for the list checker is "antsy" (www.ravelry.com/antsy/check) . Hee hee hee... I love that even as they are being deluged with invitation requests -- there are 10 thousand people behind me -- they have a sense of humor!

Socks!

Who knew? Why didn't someone tell me how fun they were? Okay, well maybe they did and I just thought to myself -- "crazy" -- 'cause who in their right mind would spend $20 and 2 weeks to make something you could buy at the store for $10...am I right?!

WRONG! Socks are addictive. And if Princess Mia's any indication, they are feel pretty awesome too. You can't imagine what a wonderment it was to get the "these are for me?" smile and "finish the second one mom...please!"

Once I reconnect with Blogger, I'll post a photo or two. I'd say they are pretty darn good for my first complete pair.

And maybe a sneak peek at a current work-in-progress for someone who's been spending a lot of time in her pjs and needs something pretty and comfy to lounge in. Don't tell her!

the birthday quilt

well, i started making a quilt for my husband,
when he was my boyfriend and before we were
parents...
when i found out i was pregnant, i thought about
making a baby quilt...
when i found out it was twins, i sacrificed
the progress i had made on his quilt
into a quilt for one of the girls,
with the intent of doing a second one...

so much for that idea!
luckily they're twins, they can share...
and he's my husband and
will have to wait until i have time again!
hahhhahhhahah

oh how i need a creative project

something fun, and easy that i can
finish after i start it...that will be easy
to pick up and put down between feedings and
diapering....ahhhhhhhhh...wish me luck!
