Last week in crafts...

Well, you all already saw that I finished my Anastasia socks.

I also managed to get quite a bit of work done on my quilt!

I got the nine-patch squares attached to the center strip, the center strip that connects the square halves together sewn, cut & pressed, AND got 6 squares completely assembled. I'm hoping to find time this week to, at the very least, finish assembling the squares. The dream would be for me to also get the squares connected into strips, but I don't know if that can happen or not.

I finished the sweater that I was working on, and found a little time to play around and take my first stab at making some note cards!

Not too bad for a first try, huh? Okay, I'm off for now. I've got a TON to get done around this house before this afternoon, and I've yet to figure out how to blog and clean at the same time.

Have a great Monday!

I Love Socks!

I do, I really do. There is just nothing like the feel of warm, woolen, handknit socks. Even better is when you make them for yourself!

I finished my Anastasia socks this morning, and am going to be sporting them while toting mounds of laundry to and fro today.

Be jealous!

Laundry Lottery!

Apparently I am special. I mean, how many people can say that they had Raphael's shell in their laundry, right? Only someone truly special, exceptionally unique could accomplish such a feat; I feel sure!

For those of you scratching your head, Raphael is one of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. My youngest son is quite enthralled by them, and has a Raphael costume that he dons quite frequently to fight the evil that hides in his closet.

Also a part of this week's "winnings" are:

• the ever present Bakugan card
• 6 peppermint candies
• 2 empty candy wrappers
• a fuel receipt
• a Post-It note with some hubby scribbles on it
• a HUGE wad of tissue paper (Yeah, I'm still trying to figure this one out!)

That's all for this week, folks! I'm off now to feed my hungry hoard who are, yet again, snowed in with me. The poor kids are going nuts...they've only been to school for 2 1/2 days since December 21st!

Laundry Lottery!

I'm reviving Laundry Lottery for the new year. I've been taking pics diligently every week, yet never getting around to posting them! I won't bog you down with 2-3 months worth of photos, though, so never fear!

This week was, apparently, "If you don't want to put it where it goes just throw it in the dirty laundry" week. I wish someone would have told me this so I could've nixed it. I'm not very amused.

Oh, well. It's over and dealt with now...and I'm still kicking...so no harm. There is one heck of a foul, though, and my guys better beware the wrath they have stirred!

On to the list:

1. The hood to my 9-YO's winter coat.
2. A beanie.
3. A Bakugan card AND pen.
4. One Spiderman glove.
5. An extension cord.
6. A quarter.
7. A pocketknife.
8. The string from a hoody that I'll have to put back later....once I find which hoody it came from.
9. A pair of my hubby's gloves.
