 Hey, girl! What's up? Assalaamu Aliakum, Oh, my goodness I haven't seen you in so long! - all things I might have said to you had I seen you in person (choose which one applies :0) ). I have wanted to blog for a while now, but today is the first day I made myself sit down and write. It's funny how coming back to this space brings such a good feeling. Not that teaching and parenting don't allow me to be creative, but this blog and blog friends I have and blogs I enjoy reading help remind me of the possibility of creativity and inspire me. :0)
Having said that, my creativity has consisted of making scarves the last few weeks. As you saw with the last post, I made an orange scarf from two felted sweater arms. I also had a scarf on the needles that I finally finished (the ivory looking one pictured). And after coming across this tutorial, I now have four of these scarves that I seriously love. Of note - I simply bought a quarter of a yard of each kind of jersey fabric, folded them in half length-wise and then wore them. That's it. Oh, and I made a scarf from some fabric I bought at Hancock's last year. I had other plans for it, but then saw it's potential as a scarf (the green one pictured). So, that is it. My picture taking time has been limited, so I have a pretty lackluster picture of some of the scarves, but maybe I'll do a photoshoot of some of the scarves I love.
In other news, the sickness has made the rounds through our house this past weekend. Poor S is just now getting over it. Oh, and it went from 81 degrees and sunny to 40 degrees and dreary in one day. And the Giants won! Yeah! Robyn's song "Play", probably one of my favorite songs ever, is over there in the sidebar, if interested.
And, just for kicks and giggles, one thing I never told you...
like the time I went out into the garage to put a load of laundry in quickly, when I came back to the door and realized my then 2 1/2 and 1 year old children had locked me out. And then, here's the kicker, Mr. M forgot how to unlock the door, though he knew how, and proceeded to just completely break down and cry. S was already crying, poor thing. I finally had to run to the neighbors house and call R to come and unlock the door. Thankfully, he was close by. Oh, and that wasn't the only time in the last year or so that I've locked us out of our house. (shakes her head) :0)Labels: knitting, life, sewing |
