There are some pretty item pictures on Etsy. They’re so bright, crisp and clean. They make me aware of my lack in photography skills. I haven’t the first clue on good lighting, proper positioning, aperture, and all other photography terms. I’ve been trying to do my research, but my digital camera is quite old. My husband tells me that the …
WIP Wednesdays ( a day late)
I completely spaced and thought (almost all day) that yesterday was Tuesday. I hate those days, where you go on believing you have so much time left in your week and BOOM you don’t. But hey, what can you do? Now for my WIPs. I started knitting this Panda leg at the cottage. I think it’s a little small to …
Back to our Regular Routine
And I’m Back! Our week long cottage vacation was great. A week of sleeping in late, swimming, tanning, pontoon rides, sea-doo rides, 4-wheeler rides, saunas, bonfires, fireworks and best of all sunshine. That’s right, not a single drop of rain, only half a gloomy day. Here are some gorgeous pictures. Now it’s time to get back to our regular …
Happy Canada Day!
I know there’s still a few days before Canada Day but the Hubby and I and our little dog Crosby are heading to my parents Cottage for a week tomorrow. It’s quite a ways away and there’s no internet connection so I won’t be writing any new post next week. We are very much looking forward to this getaway. But …
WIP Wednesdays
It’s a girl! My husbands cousin gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, Aria, on Monday morning. And although she is only 2 days old, she’s already being spoiled by grandparents, aunts and uncles and handfuls of cousins. Congrats to the new Mom and Dad! Now onto my current knitting projects. The purple baby blanket is progressing slowly, more slowly …
WIP Wednesdays
Another Wednesday, another set of works in progress. Not many new items this week, actually no new items this week. I’ve been working on the same projects for the last two weeks. I’ve been finally getting back to my routine so by next week I should be working on some new projects. Until then here’s my progress. Happy Knitting, Ashley …
WWKIP Day
I’m sad to admit that I missed WWKIP Day (World Wide Knit In Public Day). I had guests from out of town last week so knitting, although on my mind, was not my priority. So for a day, people from all over the world were taking their knitting outside. As I type this I can feel the sting of jealousy for …
Friend Visits
This past week I’ve had my oldest friend visiting, not the oldest age-wise, oldest as in I’ve known her since I was 5. So we’ve been busy and I haven’t had much time with my computer. We went to Canada’s Wonderland on Wednesday and surprisingly it was the perfect day. The weather was great, sunny but not too hot; and …
WIP Wednesdays
The daisy stitch baby blanket that I’ve been knitting is coming together much slower than I anticipated. I was trying to stick to a schedule but my husband was sick last week and his work schedule has been sporadic which in turn means my schedule has been thrown off balance. So I’ve only managed to knit up a few rows …
Baby Shower
I’ve been somewhat busy this past week helping plan a baby shower for one of my hubby’s cousins. It’s the first baby between all of his cousins and everyone is uber excited. As usual I gave a knitted gift; the yellow baby blanket that I knit earlier this year. I have also been working on a knit pullover sweater but …
