My latest Project

This one is headed a little more in the paper direction. I can't take credit for the original idea because I saw it somewhere else. It actually took way longer to make than I had expected. I had intentions to make 3 as I went along, but I gave up pretty early on that idea.



It's a magnetic advent calendar. Each piece is numbered and has a magnet on the back, so they can be stored on the back side of the cookie sheet until you need it. Each day you put another piece on the front until the last one that says Christmas Day! How fun is that? This one is actually on ebay in an effort to start my savings for an XT. I'd love to be able to take advantage of the rebate they have right now. We'll see how well that all goes.

Some Photos

These are some samples for an assignment that is waaaay overdue. I just though I'd share some of them that turned out OK. Going through this process made me realize how few really sunny days we have had around here. It also made me want a new camer reaaaally bad. I want to have more control.



















Enjoy!

A finished Project

Here are some of the finished things I have been working on. This is a fun scarf and hat. It's not really a Christmas gift like some of the other things I have been working on, but I'll probably give it to someone.



I don't know really why I haven't been in a paper mood of late. The yarn thing seems so much more fun--and less stressful. Plus I can knock out some gifts along the way! I'll try to share more of what I have been up to lately.

This is why I have been away...

It's not that I've forsaken my love of paper. This time of year just always gets me going on gifts and ideas for the holidays. And this year I happen to be headed more in the yarn direction than the paper direction. I won't stay away long!
