My plans.....

Were to do a lot of sewing and knitting this week ahem, well...er..I admit I've been sleeping in on the days I can...and doing the normal house chores. But I swear I get more stuff done when I am home from working 8 hrs a day...Why is that!?!!!
Well, I did get the baby bolero done and DD's quilt..so..yeah, I have been accomplishing things..just not as many as I thought I could!

I will post the before and after pics of my new kitchen floor tomorrow! It really looks great. The tileman lives in our neighborhood and is so busy (cause he's really good!) and I've had to be a little flexible this week when he could be here. I mean the man worked all by himself Saturday and Sunday just prepping the floor! I was expecting him this afternoon, but he called and couldn't make it so, no problem started dinner in the oven. 2 hrs later....he called, I've got to come grout it tonite...ok...upped the temp in the oven to finish dinner which was done, just as he was about to start grouting in front of the oven. It looks awesome!....hehehe but you have to wait until Friday as I need to have the mouldings back on...

I've been working on this sockette, I have an area where I somehow missed a stitch on the other side..stitch count is good, not sure what happened..but guess what, I'm going to tie it off and no one will know...ooops..now you all do! I'm using Pansy in KP's sock garden. The yarn is ok not really soft. I do like the colors. These probably will turn out to be my May Socks for the KAL as I do have a bunch of other things to do...as usual!



Below is my needle roll production line. If anyone has seen the prototype I made for Heather that's what I am making. You are looking at only 2 cut out..yikes...I gotta get crackin'! I always think things will go faster than they really do..I guess I need to get back to work to get anything done LOL!


Well I am off to get some rest and see what I can accomplish tomorrow :)

I never get very much done when I am having a bit of vacation either, enjoy the break! Pretty colors for your sock!

Wow!! I love the needle holders... are you going to sell/swap them?

I do like the sock colors-- I haven't used kp yarn yet, but it looks very pretty.

I can't wait to see your new kitchen floor!!! You are so lucky and I bet it's fabulous!! (Hmm, can you tell I HATE mine and can't wait to replace it). I really like the colors in the sock . . . and maybe the yarn will get softer once it's washed?? Don't worry about not getting much done - I think that happens to the rest of us too.

I love sock garden, I'm sorry yours isn't soft. I used a ball of it to make sweaters for Bubby bears. :)

When you go into production for the needle holders, I'll be first in line!

You've got a lot going on so I don't even know where to start! Great flip flop quilt! I can't wait to see the tile! And where are all these needle holders going? Heather hinted at a possiblilty of a pattern. That case is a gem! I wanna be in line right behind cpurl17. Also, I love the sockettes. I need to make some of those.
