Last night, while watching a movie with my brother, I realized that my count was exactly perfect & I could start on the Strawberry Lace edging. I thought I was only half way done! I got half through the first row of the lace, but I had to put it away to take the kids home & get them to bed. I'm excited & now in the process of figuring out where I will be able to block it.
So, here is a photo, although this is not very recent.

Current WIPs
WIPs? You ask. That is short for Work In Progress. And for me, there are about a dozen yarn projects in the works.
I seem to find starting new projects very rewarding. Finishing them--- well, not so much.
But I did finally finish TWO dishcloths that were only waiting for the seam to be stitched together.
I present: 1 Halloween Festive Dishcloth & 1 Ugly Christmas Ombre Cloth.
I did finish my **KNIT** market bag & have been using it as much as I can. MC took it on a camping trip & was able to cram sleeping bag, pillow & clothes in it! I've also used it to tote food & tea jugs to Church for Alpha dinners & get loads of complements. here it is before the handle was added. (note the cool swirl action! & Yes the flip-flop pony holder is attached-- Don't ask!)
Strawberry Shortcake & other stuffed pets & pals have a new hang-out. An oversized toy hammock that I made all by myself. This sucker is HUGE-- Just so you know, Strawberry Shortcake is over 3 Feet tall.
I'm also working on several blankets, more take-a-long dishcloths, an acorn bag, an All Shawl, A cotton tank, and some other random things. Most are logged into Ravelry. You can click over there & check it out IF you are a member. I ♥ Ravelry.

I MISSED SEPTEMBER
OH NO!
I can't believe I didn't blog at all in September.
Well, I have a few reasons (cough excuses cough)...
1) Start of soccer season
2) Intersession for Kindergarten
3) Resuming of Sunday night dinners & Alpha at church
4) A THREE WEEK long Miragrane
5) Lots of time with Nana-- visiting for almost 3 weeks
6) Some knitting & crocheting
7) Big clean-out of kids toys & clothes
8) Upcoming craft shows
So, my Etsy shop is empty, my JETs think I've abandoned them, the kid's room is almost organized & I'm pooped.
