A Miscellaneous few days!

Ok everyone!! What about this gray!! I am going to try new colors for a bit. Now I liked the first gray, however, you, the readers count as you are the ones viewing it! Nothing more irritating I am sure than a blog that is hard to read! Stay tuned, going to white/cream tomorrow!

I've been busy with all sorts, school starting for the kids, and trying to get everything I need to do, done! Slow but sure!

Felted Bowl using
Arucuania Nature Wool Chunky in a varigated purple. I should have doubled this, and was not too happy with the finished bowl, you could see through it, so back to the washing machine it went and is drying now!
Updated picture tomorrow!



Ok, who doesn't want to get organized? hehe I was tired of what you see on the left bags, totes, and just a plain ole mess! This is my WIP's (and yarns needed for them), SP goodies pile, and fabrics to be used in the near future.

As you see to the right AHHHH! Bottom tan one, has neatly folded fabrics for future needle cases, totes, purses, sockfishes, etc. the top green one has WIP yarns and about to be swatched yarns! The top blue is the WIP's (well the ones I let in the house, we won't talk about the 3 somewhere else ;)
The bottom blue is the dishcloth cottons. A couple of cones, a great buy of 16oz. of mill end whites for $2.50 (will be a bath mat one day!) and my stash of sugar/peaches and creams for my future dishclothes...yeah, one day...

Finally, A blast from my past!! I used to wear these all the time as a teenager! Well I still feel like a teenager so there! ;) So far I have this pair and a brown (faux) pair. Red...green...blue...not sure what is next..

Gratuitous knitted ankle sock below (eek, need to make the ribbing taller)! Off to knit more socks for these puppies!!

Yes I remember those shoes! Except mine were red hightops!! Brings back memories of school but I dont remember my mom being as busy getting ready for school as I am for my kids!!
I Love the bowl! You did a great job! And great organization skills at work. Something I need to start doing since the stash keeps growing......

Love the new look!

I had a pair of Cons too but they were high top and I used to fold the upper part down. Yikes! Yours are much better.

I like the lighter grey better than the other. But I still say you aren't a grey person =P

Zonda said...

Good organization too.

I like the grey! (But I said that already!) :) Congrats on getting organized, I've got to start banishing yarn from my desk... ugh! I don't want to, I think my stash might increase too much again! :)

Wow, Love the new blog look, what a terrific banner!

Ah converse, I think we all had a pair or two back in the day. Personally, I'm beginning to think that teenager feeling never goes away. :)

I made the bowl also. It took two washings and probably could do a third easily enough.

Lia said...

Love the new look! Great job on organization. I need to do some of that, lol! Cool shoes - do you remember them being called "bo-bo's"? That is what we called them. Now you just need to get the ball point busy on the rubber toe ...

I like the gray. It makes the knitting pop off the page.

Love the tenny's so retro....:D

Rain said...

Chaeck you and your organised self!

I liked the first grey too, but this one is fine as well.

Ragan said...

Love your new look, and the organization! I wish I was!
Converse rule! Tee hee. In the 80's I will admit I had a few pair of these...and would wear one pink one...and one green...with lots of socks. Hee hee.
