Indian Summer

Happy Day!

It's gorgeous out! Look at that blue sky. This was taken downtown. I started my weaving class this week. It was a smart idea to take a class. I don't think I could have figured out how to weave from a book. I like that the class is a small size. The instructor and her assistant are able to give us all a lot of hands on help. Plus (and this is a very dangerous plus) it is held in Habu Textiles...umhmmmm...lots of temptation!

So Project Runway was really good. I couldn't believe they brought back Angela and Vincent. That collar Angela designed for the bolero made the model look like she was being picked up by the collar!! Vincent's dress was just terrible. What a waste of a 2nd chance. Laura dress was nice I liked it. I like that lace over fabric look. This week before my weaving class am going to stop by Mood. I want to make a dress for the little girls and maybe one for me! I haven't sewn anything in ages.

There is knitting going on in the house, but I can't show any!! It is Christmas knitting!! There is a cool spider in my garden..knitting away. So what is your favorite knitting project?

Here is a shot of my new do...I can spike it up for when I am feeling, as my hairdresser said, artistic!! She is the best!

Well, I have to go back to working on my budget for 2007...YUK!

Wish me luck!!

Hugs!

Weaving project in the sun

Image
Hello! It was a wacky crazy horrific week at work! There wasn't too much time to work on projects. I am working on one new baby blanket and of course my Weaving II project. Here is the inspiration picture along with the work in progress. A sunny spot full of the yarn I am using. Light blues through black with a tiny touch of yellow as an accent color. The warp is a light grey tencel. The weft is a mix of yarns. I have yarn from Habu there as well. Thank you for the nice comments on Hubby's garden. It has come a long way since we moved in. Here is a close up of the Dogwood flowers on the west side of the house. Enjoy the great weather! Hugs, Marie

Can you Habu?

Image
isn't it pretty?? A-129 in Ice Blue...the only thing that I don't like about Habu Yarns is the yarns don't have names...just numbers. It is a nice combo of 90% wool and 10% nylon. Am using honking big needles and will make a cool wrap/scarf. I love the color...very pretty blue. I am feeling better a little tired. All results are in...everything was benign (sp? can't spell right now) Am taking iron pills and vitamin c to help my body absorb the iron. Have gotten lots of rest. I've been a total slacker at work. I still get in at 6:00 a.m. but I leave between 3:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. I started weight watchers yesterday. I just need to lose a little weight and am looking into the New York Health and Raquet club for exercise. Lola bird will be going for nice walks with me. What is up with the weather in NY lately? It is cold out. I put a jacket on to go to the Dr. I was cold! Have a great day! Enjoy! Marie

Oh Yes Mr. Postman!!

Finally Friday...It is really Friday! This was the longest day in my life. Oh hecky yes I really didn't think I'd get through the week. Enough moaning! Mr. Postman, my favorite man in the world, brought some beautiful yarn to the cottage on S.I. I think I will set myself up with some delish Margaritas and start working on a new shawl. Is it for me or maybe a Christmas present...well time will tell! Here is the very delicate icy yarn draped over my dining room chair waiting to be rolled up. The yarn is so soft I can not wait to start in...oh boy! Good thing the Lola Monster isn't around...she loves to snatch yarn and run around like a maniac. There she is looking to see what to grab..hmm cake? Bag of yarn or finished shawl.. Enjoy the weekend! Marie
