Hubby’s in Heaven on his Birthday!

…and mostly because of THIS…

Yes, it’s really for all of us to enjoy…but as I told him, I would have been happy with our old TV for the next 20 years! Boys…what else can I say? 😉

My Pinwheel Blanket Progress~

Posted on May 17, 2008 by gettinitpegged

I thought it was about time to show you how I’m doing on Denise’s Pinwheel Blanket. We’re doing an impromptu, free-form loom along with this pattern on the Loom Knitter’s Chat Clique…feel free to join! All you need is the pattern, and to belong to the clique. 🙂

This shows how the blanket looks on each side…I like how it looks great no matter which side is up. Perfect for a easy lap throw! I’m intending on adding a 6 inch sawtooth border around the perimeter, so that the entire width will end up being 45 inches. Right now it measures 33 inches.

Here’s some lovely little items I found while exploring my new back yard this morning. What sweet treasures! I need to do some weeding, and we’re going to plant a small veggie garden, but these little beauties were a very nice find in all their uncultivated glory. 🙂 Enjoy!

Finished Object Friday~

Posted on May 16, 2008 by gettinitpegged

My Braided Cables Bag!This is my Braided Cables Bag. I just love this purse! It has everything a girl could want in a carryall…because is does carry all! It’s really very roomy. It also has a sturdy bottom base, and nice thick strap, which are supported by dowels inserted into the top edges. And no stretching out of shape because of the pretty, yet functional liner.

The back...and braided strap~I’ve been using this for some time now as my purse/lunch bag… and it’s great for…shhhhh!…sneaking candy into the theater! ;)

And a girl can’t have too many little swirly rosettes!

and fully lined, too!I’ve been waiting to post this until I was a little closer to be able to post a pattern. I was a tad hesitant because I felt (and still feel) that it is quite a project to undertake, and would be difficult to explain in a simple write up. I’ve decided to make another bag, along the same lines, only with simpler construction, so that anyone wanting this look, but not the cumbersome instructions, could whip one up in a jiffy. I’m just about ready, so I thought I’d give you a preview to keep your loomy wheels turning. :)

Have a Fantabulous Friday! We’re off to enjoy Narnia!!!! I’m taking my 2 girlies, and one of their close friends…and of course my best guy, up to Olympia to enjoy the show. I can’ t wait!
